In March I bought 78 shares of SMH and I’m up about $16k on that alone. I don’t sell often, so I don’t have a lot of powder for dips, but if you’re going to time, you buy the dip and sell the ATH.
I am short QQQ and SMH. That is fine after record gains. The difference is, I did not go full retard and only allocated 1% of my port, and I think that's excessive. Also, I am long UMC with 5X and some green 2027 leaps.

I don’t know why your question got downvoted so much, reasonable ask. Keep the balance in your ETFs, etc, but my recommendation would be to pick a semiconductor fund to take advantage of the AI boom: XSD, SMH, etc.
That extra detail helps. If your wife is still working and you file jointly, don't assume you're ineligible for a Roth IRA just because your own income is a disability pension. There are spousal IRA rules that may let you contribute based on household compensation, so I'd confirm how you file and how your pension is reported before ruling the Roth in or out. On the portfolio side: yes, VT can absolutely be "risky enough." VT is still essentially an all stock global portfolio. It owns thousands of companies across the U.S., developed international markets and emerging markets. It's diversified, but it is not conservative. The important distinction is: 1. Diversification reduces the risk of making a few concentrated bets. 2. It does not remove stock-market risk. So if you hold 90–100% VT, you're still taking substantial equity risk. You just aren't also betting heavily on semiconductors, Nasdaq growth, small cap value and emerging markets ex-China at the same time. If you're just starting out, I'd probably begin simpler. Use a broad market core until you understand why you want a specific tilt. You can always add AVUV, SMH or something else later. What I wouldn't do is choose extra concentration just because it feels like a faster route to building wealth. A simple portfolio can still be very aggressive.
Before changing the portfolio, I’d check one tax issue first.Since you’re retired on a disability pension, make sure you actually have taxable compensation that qualifies you to contribute to a Roth IRA. Regular pension/annuity income generally doesn’t count as IRA compensation, although some employer disability pensions can be treated as wages until minimum retirement age. Check how yours is reported before funding the Roth. On the portfolio itself, I think you’re mixing up “aggressive” with “concentrated.” AVUV, SMH, QQQM and EMXC give you exposure to: small-cap value,semiconductors,Nasdaq/growth,emerging markets excluding China. That can absolutely be aggressive, but it also means several very specific bets at once. You don’t need those bets just to have a high risk/high-growth portfolio. A broad market portfolio that is 90–100% stocks is already aggressive. If you want tilts, I’d start with a diversified core and then add smaller satellite positions only where you have a clear reason to want the extra risk. The phrase I’d be careful with is “build quick.” More concentrated funds can outperform, but they can also underperform for long stretches. They don’t give you a reliable shortcut. I’d also look at whether four months of emergency savings is enough given that your mortgage is about 40% of your pension and you no longer have employment income to fall back on. So I’d do this in order: 1. Confirm Roth IRA contribution eligibility. 2. Decide how much emergency cash you really need. 3. Choose your broad stock allocation. 4. Only then decide whether AVUV, SMH or other tilts deserve a smaller place around that core.
Might want to consider SOXX or SOXQ. SMH is top heavy because it let its winners run, whereas the other 2 rebalance. Most of SMH's gains come from NVDA which is priced in for perfection now, not much room for it to moon anymore.

I was a happy man selling my SMH calls for a decent profit, then I looked in the mirror. When did I transform into a lesbian prison guard?
SMH shares are up 65% ytd. If you weren’t in semis this year you hate money.
No cares until they decide to roll the market. Then everyone, look at yields. SMH 🤦
I buy a few SMH calls when it dips like it did 2 days ago, but I know if I full port, that will be the day that the AI bubble explodes
Man, you don't accept other viewpoints. SMH. I can get literal cash into my checking account in max 2 days by selling the equities (no bonds to mature). If the emergency is payment needed within the hour, I have credit cards that have a total of over 50k limits so zero stress here about it. Now go away.
So the Fed will cut rates by ... raising rates? SMH

I would track SKHY stock closely next few weeks. It could really move up next few weeks. It was just added to SMH ETF. One of the biggest SOX ETF in the world. This is the recognition SK HYNIX Was looking for by coming to America 2 months ago. Being added to SMH ETF Today means SK HYNIX stock now has the upward momentum it seriously needs
You forgot to say please LOL SMH
$QQQ nothing changed. War chaos. Midterm time. Oil high, Fed rate high, AI theme fading, no IPO of OpenAI & Anthropic, it crash many debt-financed leverage products, even SoftBank will be in trouble with $ARM Today Outlier after Q3 Opex,ready for $QQQ 650 $MU $META $AMD $SMH pump dump like Situational Awareness probably very short term.
After 250 years of US independence, all are not intelligent enough, need to spend $5-10 Trillion to become super intelligent AI technology can be here, but financial derivatives products crash 90%,as leverage too high $NVDA $MU $AMD $INTC $SMH $QQQ $SPY all see high rate impact
I’m not as concerned with the bubble, and I have VOO, VGT, and SMH. But I got in to SMH a couple years ago, and it feels late now. That has me up 20% YTD. And if there’s a correction, I have plenty of room before I’m loosing any money. I’d recommend VOO and QQQ, 60/40 or 70/30.
Did Nasdaq really just pump just to fill a FvG from June. SMH.
AVGO has had a crap year, but its 3 year return is still more than 10% better than SMH and 40% better than SOXX, so it just ran up its gains ahead of broader semis. Even more than NVDA, it has been resting, but while resting its forward PE settled in to "very solid investment" territory. I wouldn't buy it to make a buck this month, or hold it in a non-taxable account, but if you are holding it with big gains in a taxable account it should give an above market return with relatively low risk over the medium-term.
I prefer SMH over SOXX because there is more weighting towards NVDA and TSM. SOXX carries too much weight in AMD and MU for my liking. Not anything against those companies, but AMD has very high price premium and they haven't quite found that NVDA like anchor in the AI space just yet. MU still carries that cyclical worry. But NVDA and TSM are more or less the bedrock of semi space AI buildout. I don't really see any issue with holding some weight of all of QQQM, NVDA and either SOXX or SMH. I'd probably suggest you add VOO in there as well. Disclosure: Own QQQM, NVDA, SMH, VOO
At 21, I’d focus less on picking the “winner” and more on concentration risk. 😂 NVDA is one company; SMH/SOXX/SOXQ spread that risk across \~30 semiconductor names, though NVDA is still a major holding in the ETFs. A 58% single-stock position is the bigger thing I’d think about.
I chose SMH and I'm doing the same thing as you, $100 on it every month, rest goes to broad market and commodity producers
SOXQ has the lowest ER of the 3 you mentioned and has been outperforming SMH in the last year or so. Who knows if it will still continue. SOXQ is also not so top heavy with Nvidia like SMH. Chances are if you have VOO or growth ETFs you have chunk of NVDA.
SMH is more top-heavy than SOXX. By allowing its winning positions to run larger before rebalancing, it has consistently outperformed SOXX over the past five years. SOXX has outperformed SMH this year, because all the smaller companies have made more gains than the large ones (NVDA,TSM, AVGO). I think over long term SMH will continue to outperform SOXX.
I’m also considering just holding onto my NVDA position and starting a new position in a semi ETF (like SOXX, SOXQ or SMH) with $100, then DCA'ing $100/month into it going forward. My thesis is that chip stocks still have a ton of room for long-term growth, and buying into a semi ETF right now lets me capture that sector momentum without adding more single-stock risk, But cant decide which ETF to choose.
Nvidia is very cheap compared to other semiconductor companies, so I wouldn't make that move at least now. I actually sold SMH and NVDA was one of the positions I added.
Highly unlikely. Esp after that pump, after that dip, after that rate hike. SMH 🤦♂️
everyone complaining about today makes me realize yall dont hold nearly as much SMH as I do cause I'm happy as a pig doing whatever makes pigs happy
My portfolio still doesn't have enough semiconductor stocks. SMH +2.21%, but both my main portfolios were red today.

Interesting take. I have been burned a few times by buying a localized top as well, which is basically what you are describing. then being stuck in downward momentum particularly on SMH semiconductor etf with kinda bad timing. agree, my biggest takeaways from investing are similar in nature. be very, very cognizant of entry price is another way to put a sort of same concept, check 5, 20, 50 EMA plots, etc. see where the momentum is and pragmatically assess if it makes sense to open the position. another thing I have loved is starting positions small, and developing into them. lot of success with this method. really only backfires in some gap-up situation (which is rare anyway) and ties into your longevity/checking method. for example if I wanted to invest $10k in something, probably would start with even something as low as $500, and play it out over time, see if it's working how you think
Tech (XLK) & Semis (SMH) for the long term. If you think ai is a dud, you obviously haven’t tried ChatGPT 6 Pro. It’s AGI for just $20/mo.
In TEM but i think SMH is coming back
SMH flipped green, can QQQ follow?!?
Why am I always attracted to failing businesses? AVGO, LULU, NFLX. SMH.
In this environment, I have zero confidence on the longer future. What are the odds of five years in a row double digit growth? I mean, if investing is really like this, yeah all in VOO and chill. I take profit, rinse and repeat. Make sure I am full cash before every defining moment, instead of betting another NVDA opportunity, I missed the first one, I don’t think I am that visionary and likely will miss again and again on those life changing opportunities. So, I rather stay patient and believe in compounding. With all that being said, I am 22.3% YTD. 184% three years in. Again, if you started this year with any of the SMH holding, you are light years ahead of me.
SMH +10% tomorrow, bookmark this
Not all ETFs are low growth. See SMH, XLK, etc.
My calls got stop losses all day today. SMH
No wonder SMH dropped more the last hour LOL
You'll get terrible advice here - stick with QQQ. If you want more risk/reward then a bit of XLK, SMH. Add a few individual stocks like GOOGL, AVGO, CRDO.
it is actually good time to BTFD on semi. SMH call it is .
Was this chat brought by AI? This is great. Look at all emojis. I better put more money on SMH
Because its a SMH led sell off not SPY. You donkey.
Semis blood red. SMH down 3%. Might hit 5% or more tomorrow. Maybe down 10% by end of week. September remembers...
I’m the same with NVDA and SMH, and I actually like that setup because it puts me more overweight on Nvidia, while still giving me exposure to the smaller companies I would not pick on my own
I come here for sound financial advice and this is what I get. SMH
You're more in tech than it looks. The top of SMH (Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom) is also the top of the S&P, and crypto trades like tech. That's about half the taxable account on one bet. Fine if it's on purpose, just don't call it diversified. VXUS already has \~25% emerging markets, so VWO on top is double counting. Drop it or know why you have it. Roth changes make sense, keep QQQM small since you already own those names 3 times over.
\[23 years old living in the US making 90k a year\] I was wondering if this would be the best way to split up my investments, I just plan on DCA a leveraged portfolio towards tech/growth but still want to keep things diverse. I have maxed out my Roth IRA for this year so the Roth portion is currently scheduled to start next year in January. Taxable spread: $552 every paycheck (biweekly) Sp500 - 35% SMH - 21% VXUS - 20% VWO - 10% BTC - 7% ETH - 7% Roth ira: (Currently this is at QQQM 57% FSKAX 30% FTIHX 12% but I felt like rebalancing due to taxable also being tech heavy) FSKAX - 40% AVUV - 25% FTIHX - 20% QQQM - 15% Please feel free to share any opinions and ask any questions!
When was the last time you took her dancing? wtf bunch of lame husbands/boyfriends up in here. SMH.

Funny thing about the bond tape right now: while everyone is arguing about how to save treasuries, somebody already put the biggest bond bet on the board - and it went the opposite way from the panic. Yesterday's single largest new options position in bonds was TLT **calls**. 106,885 contracts, roughly $900M notional, opened in the session right before a hot core CPI print. TLT calls pay if long bonds go up, i.e. yields come down. So that is real money betting on treasuries rallying, placed straight into the print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or cheap convexity bolted onto a book that is already short duration. Both are real trades. For scale, the rest of what got opened the same session: * GLD puts - ~$2.97B * IWM puts - ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - ~$2.42B * META calls - ~$1.75B * SMH puts - ~$1.17B * TLT calls - ~$0.90B Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took puts in the same session that NVDA and META took calls. That is a book keeping its upside and paying up for protection. It is not a everybody-out panic, whatever the headlines say. One thing worth understanding about this data, because it is the part people miss: these are open-interest changes, not volume. Volume cannot tell you whether a trade opened a position or closed one. OI can - but it only settles after the close, so you are always looking one session back. It shows what got *put on*. It tells you nothing about who took the other side. I pull this off the tape every morning. It is consistently the most useful thing on the board and the least talked about.
29 portfolio value 21.5k - redistributed 2 yrs ago based on a lot of research and stepped back during grad school. Originally invested in picks on a 5-7yr timeframe, however, several took off unexpectedly since and the economic climate for different industries has switched up a lot. AAPL 28% (ETF) SMH 21% NET 17% AMZN 13% PLTR 7% DFTX 5% VKTX 4% NVO 3% SOFI 1% COST 1% Not the same positions in my Roth. Trying to go on the riskier side with a small allocation of funds while hedging with Mag 7s. Working to build up COST but would love input on the risk management aspect.
Worth adding what positioning looked like going *into* this print, because it did not line up with the hike narrative. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday across the whole US market, by notional. These are open-interest changes - what was opened, not what merely traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B Two observations: **TLT calls are the odd one out.** That is a long-bond position - it pays if yields fall. About $900M of it was opened the session before a core print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or convexity bought against an existing short-duration book. **The equity side is hedged, not bearish.** Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took put flow in the same session that NVDA and META took call flow. That combination reads as tail protection on a book that is still long, rather than a move to risk-off. Data caveat: open interest only settles after the close, so this is one session behind by construction, and closing trades are excluded. It shows what was put on, not who was on the other side of it.
Everyone is pricing the hike. The single biggest new bond position on yesterday's tape went the other way. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday, ranked by notional. This is open-interest change, not volume - what got *put on*, not what got traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B TLT calls are a bet on long bonds going **up**, i.e. yields down. Roughly $900M of them opened in the session right before a hot core print. Either somebody is very wrong, or it is cheap convexity stapled to a book that is already short duration. Both of those are real trades. The rest of the board is a hedge cluster, not a tech-crash bet. Gold, small caps, semis and high yield all got puts in the same session while NVDA and META got calls. That is "keep the upside, buy the tail", not "sell everything". Caveats so nobody reads more into it than is there: OI settles after the close, so this is always one session behind. Closing trades are excluded. And it tells you nothing about who took the other side - a put buyer needs a put seller.
If you want to know how the biggest books are hedging this exact risk, you can just read the options tape. Open interest changes tell you what was *opened* - not merely what traded. From Thursday's close (last fully settled session), the largest **new** positions opened across the entire US market, by notional: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * **SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B** * HYG puts - 91,760 contracts, ~$0.71B Three things that bear on your question: **1. SMH puts are the literal answer.** SMH is the semis ETF - the cleanest single-instrument expression of "AI/tech risk". About $1.2B of *fresh* downside protection went there in one session. Not QQQ, not SPY. If you want the same hedge shape as the size, that is the wrapper they used. **2. It is not a one-way bet.** The same tape opened ~$2.4B of NVDA calls. The big books are not net-short AI - they are holding the upside and paying for tail protection on the sector wrapper. That is a very different trade from "rotate out of tech", and it is usually the cheaper one. **3. The company it keeps matters.** IWM and HYG puts were opened alongside it. Small caps and high-yield credit are liquidity hedges, not semis views. So at least part of that SMH put flow is a macro hedge wearing a tech costume - worth knowing before you copy it as a pure AI-risk trade. Caveat so you can weigh it properly: OI settles only after the close, so this is always one session behind, and it shows what was *put on* rather than direction. Closing trades are excluded - these are new positions only. It tells you nothing about who is on the other side. No position in any of the above.

SMH, QQQM, IYF, IWM or individual stocks in those sectors, always DCA. Just my 2 cents. Not recommendations.
Your post is very true in that we are seeing oil chaos and strain like the 70’s, however, you have to keep in mind that we are more energy independent than ever before. Statistically speaking we are a net export country since 2019. We won’t see dry pumps, but, you can damn be sure we will see 5$-6$ a gallon or more here soon which will destroy the economy and raise prices even further. (Are we winning yet? SMH..) I’m curious how this will affect energy costs for EV’s….. will company’s start charging more immediately per KWh ?

Great! I’ll tell my boss I won’t be driving to work anymore - just when you thought they couldn’t get any dumber… SMH
Got it. In that case I’d mentally group the DRAM basket and SMH together as one broader semiconductor and storage tilt rather than treating them as separate diversifiers..Samsung and Micron provide direct memory cycle exposure, while Seagate is primarily a storage drive company rather than a DRAM producer. They won’t behave identically, but the basket is still exposed to cyclical hardware demand, inventory, capacity and pricing risks. Some or all of those companies are also likely already present in the world fund..At 2.5% the DRAM basket alone won’t dominate the portfolio. The more useful limit is the full 10% satellite allocation, because Google, Amazon, SMH and the memory/storage basket collectively express the same general decision: overweight technology relative to the global market. If that is an intentional experimental sleeve, 90% world and 10% satellites is coherent. I’d simply rebalance it back to the chosen limit rather than continually adding after strong performance. If you don’t have a specific reason for the overweight, 100% world remains a perfectly complete alternative.
Why would Biden do this to the market? SMH my head
