IGV up, SMH down, SPY up and SMH down, NVDA and SPY up, NOW, CRM, MSFT up.

The best short-term gains at your age is emergency savings from either a High Yield Savings Account (HYSA) or Treasury funds (MMF or Treasury ETF). A) Stay with Fidelity and look into SGOV (Treasury ETF) or FDLXX. The Federal reserve is keeping the money supply tight for banks, so interest rates will be high for the remaining 2026 year. B) Semi-conductor industry is doing great and expected to stay that way until 2028. SMH ETF is an excellent choice after building up 3 months of emergency savings with SGOV or FDLXX.

AIPO is the worst way to play this angle imo. It's gains are majorly coming from the chip side of things. If this is a long term bet on the second phase of AI, I'd rather have my power ETF completely out of semis/memory. I'd rather hit that with SMH so you can rotate out once these centers need more power than they do chips/memory.

Mentions:#SMH

Maybe all the "it's just a rotation, relax guys" narrative was just cover for a real dump and to prevent retail from selling and having hope that things will just turn around and things will go back to normal with semis and AI stuff pumping instead of retarded shit like healthcare.

It's inflation adjusted so it would be whatever is the same value as $3.3m today in 40 years e.g. $15m possibly. If you do want a bit more risk then perhaps invest in ETFs like SMH. Single stocks can be ok but I wouldn't invest in them exclusively.

Businesses like amd, intc, nbis, etc are absurdly inflated compared to nvda and avgo. Forward PE for all of SMH is 55. For NVIDIA it’s 19 and AVGO it’s 23. Nvidia has chopped for months while the overall sector has exploded. In a crisis of faith it rotation out of the sector, nvidia and avgo will drop 10%  while others drop 50+. And they have way more upside. 

Mentions:#SMH#AVGO

Here's another more clearer example than SPY. If you draw a line from March 31st on SMH to last Friday, you can see the SMH clearly breaking the trend and now resisting it. This is going to have ill effects on SPY even with rotations beacau se of the concentration in tech, and SMH within tech. This small fraction of the economy has been used to try and rally the whole economy, so any rotation out of SMH will almost 100% have to be a downturn because the rest of the economy has been going into recession for awhile.

> Really? A link to a blog post by a company selling AI optimisation? It doesn't even include a source to the claim that "Apple confirmed" a decline in Google search volume within the iOS ecosystem. The FAQ only mentioned share of overall search going to Google search specifically has declined below 90% of market share when including AI (again unsourced), not search as a vertical.eanwhile you can see Alphabets own investor presentations showing that search has continued to grow 19% YoY (source). Yes, according to your source search and, ad revenues are 70% of their total revenue. They keep increasing ad rates so obviously their revenues should follow. I think I might have said that it was the majority of their revenue, right? > People still are going to their primary method of search, which is Google with 90.39% of the global search market (source). I don't disagree with this, I think it underlines the prior point. > "WhErE iS iT sHoWiNg In ReVeNuE". Perhaps look at the investor packages that are public, FFS. This is a investment sub SMH. Their 10-K is in the public domain. Google Search and related services (ads) are down from 57% of revenues in 2021 Q1 to 55%, YouTube ads are down from 11% to 9%. Cloud is up from 7% to 16%. The segments that you claim are decimated are still growing 19% YoY and declining as a share of overall company revenue (source), which says a lot about that narrative. Again, the majority of that revenue coming from search and ad delivery. Cloud being up is great but it's still only 16% of their business and 14% of total market share. > Google in hardware is Radio Shack and they don't really sell? Let's focus on the consumer hardware verticals. In the smartphone space Google Pixel has been growing 25% YoY (source) and had already been the 4th largest phone brand in the US market Q2 of last year with over 800k models shipped per quarter (source). In the smart watch segment they own 15% of the global market share (source) and 19% of the global smart home sector (source). Oh man, you really got me now that Google Pixel has 3% market share in the US. Woot! They're #4!! So 3 out of 100 people have a Google Pixel. Fucking impressive. Sure it's growth. I'll give ya that with a side of perspective. Oh, smart watch sales are really going to be where Google cuts its teeth too and isnt just making a me too product to get more data from users. > Microsoft does not collect money from Google for Android. This is a misnomer of the so called "Android tax". Microsoft did not sue Google for the so called "patent violations" on the open source technology that forms the base of Android OS, those royalties were paid by specific manufacturers using said technology directly to Microsoft. That is also a point of the past since Microsoft has a license deal with OIN now, putting an end to that 2B in negotiated payments that came from agreements which were a means for manufacturers to avoid costlier lawsuits during Microsoft's FOSS phase (source). Google is estimated to have made 20× that from Android, not even getting into the play store revenue. Technically this is correct. The manufacturers that put Android on the phones have to pay instead. Microsoft is still technically making more money per install of Android than Google is. Play store revenue is anemic based on the size of their market share. Again my point was Google has this enormous market share advantage in mobile OS's but cant seem to monetize their services at a fraction of the rate Apple has. That's been a long term problem. > Android OS does not drive revenues? I guess that includes the search and ads integrated into Android too right? LMAO. Add on play store integrated adverts and app based adverts and it ties back into that search and ad revenue. Now you're starting to get it in a strange way. Android is really best serving Google in delivering ad and search revenue. You can run these AI clients on Android too and as more users onboard the more Googles ad and search business can be under threat. 70% of their revenue is derived from ad and search businesses. They cannot afford to lose this AI race and still be the same company. I say this as a 20 year shareholder that can see they are not in front of this race and they are paying a $20B fee every year to bide themselves some time before 70% of their business comes under threat.

If you are going to make this argument then make it simple. Give me a source to showcase that search and search ad revenue is declining, not just as a market share but also outright. Not as a share of their revenue either, just an overall decline. Refute the double digits growth that the quarterly reports and investor presentations have consistently shown for the past 5 years while this same AI narrative was running.

Yeah, my theory is that since these companies are spending so much, institutions are selling mega caps themselves, causing them to dip, to pump up the targets of their spending. Then once they are happy with the gains of SMH or DRAM, they sell off to top off the discounted mega caps. It's really dumb. I hold XLK and its obvious when it stays almost flat, the megacaps drop 10+%, and the SMH moonshot 200%. Broad index fund holders are being used as liquidity.

I played the SQQQ game a while back and lost a bunch of money. Being long instead of short always wins over a longer timeframe. DRAM (memory stocks) and SMH (semiconductors) are the hotness, so just buying a little each week has a higher chance of paying off. Then for hedges, XLU is utilities, boring boomer stuff but it often has green days when the market is red. There's also XLP and XLE. Another good hedge is non-US ETFs like VEA, which is a big basket of European and Asian stocks Just something to think about

Memory/semiconductors might return back to ATH after MU earnings, but this kind of continued volatility (eg: +15% DRAM) is not sustainable long-term, and too risky for a lot of big money institutional investors.

What about 70% VTI / 20% VSUX / 10% SMH ….. that was my original plan before going complicated lol

Mentions:#VTI#SMH

My thoughts are: 1. This is too complicated for such a small account. And maybe for anyone. Personally I would just pare this down to a three fund portfolio: a total market, an international, and then anything you want to specifically target. 2. There is a decent size amount of overlap with 5 equity index funds: One total market, 4 that basically are segmented as size. Your end effect is basically just a general 80% US market portfolio with some weighting towards large cap (but both growth and value) and semi-conductor. I haven't loaded your portfolio into a tool to check but I'll bet you have some company that you have more weight in that you expect because of fund overlap. 3. I'm not sure 4% in SMH does much for you. Every major company is present in both VTI and either SCHG or VTV. Does this small allocation in a recently popular industry really represent something meaningful for you. 4. I assume your brokerage allows partial shares and has no transaction fees. If not, you may want to consider the equivalent mutual fund instead.

Yeah, I just prefer FLKR combined with SMH.  FLKR isn’t thematic, but it gets me exposure to the theme with a low E/R and more diversification.  Part of why I went that way is that I was excessively concentrated in US companies and was looking for excuses to buy foreign market ETFs.

Mentions:#SMH

I'd be careful with the idea of "cash out now and buy back on the dip." The problem is that almost everyone can identify a dip after it happens. Very few can consistently predict when it will happen. You already laid out the bull case yourself: * You're up 150%+. * You're investing in sectors you understand. * It's inside a Roth IRA, so taxes aren't forcing your hand. * You believe AI, semis, and tech have long-term tailwinds. To me, the bigger risk isn't a 20-30% pullback. It's selling and then watching SMH/SOXX run another 50% while waiting for a dip that never comes. What I would consider is trimming, not exiting. For example, if semis have become 50-60%+ of your portfolio, selling a portion and reallocating elsewhere is a diversification decision, not a market-timing decision. The question I'd ask myself is: "If SMH dropped 30% tomorrow, would I be excited to buy more or would I panic?" If the answer is "buy more," then you probably don't have a thesis problem...you have a volatility problem. Personally, I'd let the winners ride and gradually rebalance if they're becoming too large a percentage of the portfolio. Market timing feels easy after a 150% gain, but it's usually much harder than it looks.

But I think they will crush it again with ridiculous numbers and the stock will jump again. How long do you think memory stocks will continue going up? I know nobody knows, but I for instance believe SMH will continue trending up for the next decade with 20-30%corrections here and there

Invest in something you can forget about. The current AI buildout is tricky to get right without focusing on. Get VTI or if you really want semis, SMH. But get out of the leveraged one soon. That's not a forget about kind of trade.

Big red day after a very nice previous week. Today’s a nice opportunity to enter … I think … unless we see even more red within the next few days. Regardless idk if I should be adding more into my SMH and DRAM holdings or actually use this chance to get into some other stocks. MU, NBIS, ALAB all three I’m eyeing right now just not sure. What’s everyone else feeling about today ?

Load up…… I just picked up shitload of SMH and FBTC…

Assuming those holdings are in a taxable account, selling LAC and QCLN at a loss gives you a tax offset. If your VTI and SPYG gains are under that $100 offset, you can sell them and clean the slate tax free.\\n\\nIf the gains are larger, you don't have to sell. Just turn off dividend reinvestment for those funds and point new cash to VOO and QQQM. The old shares can sit there without triggering a tax bill.\\n\\nKeeping VOO and QQQM simplifies things, but you're still layering the same beta. Apple and Nvidia make up about 13% of VOO and 16% of QQQM. Adding SMH and individual NVDA shares on top concentrates your money in the same few companies.

More specifically, in semis [https://imgur.com/yu2KNAg](https://imgur.com/yu2KNAg) But what do you expect with all this shilling for SMH and DRAM. What this comment get downvoted within 0.5 seconds by the way.

The algos were chasing the negative correlation between MAGS and SMH.... big banks got worried. Crush semi's overnight, reverse the correlation, patch the algos.

It's more than just memory selling off following the KOSPI -9% drop: * XLK: -3.5% * SMH: -6% * QQQ: -2.8%

Or DRAM/SMH/SOXL if he wanted something riskier, at least those actually have decent price to sales.

I subscribe go crazy while young, especially in retirement accounts where selling is not taxed. By crazy, I mean heavy in sector ETFs that are seeing big growth like semiconductors (SOXX, SMH) and tech (VGT). As you get older, let these run and add more to safer ETFs like VOO/VT, then bonds closer to retirement.

SMH drill baby drill?

Just go all in on SMH and SPMO maybe a little DRAM. Don't try so hard. Let it compound.

Brought 6K today in SMCI calls that expire July 10th while it was at 35.20$ because I had only brought 2K worth in calls last week.... SMH. this iran deal put the scare in me in that 4 day weekend. Does anyone else profit taking or capitulation? the price action seemed strong at EOD

My plan has always been to buy 0DTE options for one day then never touch it again until lockup. It’s too volatile for my liking. In all honesty though, if it wasn’t for my DRAM/SMH gains, I would’ve probably FOMO’d into it

All I’ve done the past 4 months is buy and roll up SMH, MU, and SNDK shares and calls. It was that easy. Up 300% lmao.

Something that’s worked for me is going with S&P 500 and got higher risk ETF’s. I’m in on SPMO SMH & DRAM. Done me well so far but they are volatile. But I’ve been comfortable with that set up.

Have you set up a Roth IRA yet? With earned income from a job, you can open a Roth and contribute up to $7,500 this year. The earnings in a Roth grow tax free, and once you’re 59.5, you can withdraw any gains 100% tax free. That’s why there are contribution limits each year, because it’s a very powerful wealth building account, especially at your age. I’d be investing into some S&P 500 funds (VOO is a solid low cost option), and if you want to get in on AI/Semiconductors, SMH is also a great choice. Just make any sector-specific funds a small portion of your portfolio. I \*WISH\* I had the kind of financial resources and knowledge at your age - I’d likely be a multimillionaire by now.

I have a lot of semis. TSM and FSELX are my best ones. Also SMH.

Buy winners and profitable industries. For example SMH, DRAM, Energy, defence etfs. All are better then buying losers from the SNP

That's the beauty of the bubble. SMH will go up 100% as the S&P moves up 10%. Then when the SMH gives back 50%, the S&P will go down 20%. You only win in this super concentrated market if you are in the concentration, which is why no one wants to buy anything else.

Split with both SMH/DRAM if you’re doing options, SMH gets you GPUs and CPUs Tilt toward DRAM…more of a shortage

way too much bull talk so went with QQQ SMH and SPY puts very solid and TY Warsh

I hold both, and when SMH dropped 10%, SPY was down like 2%, this is what de-risk means.

Voo shouldn't crash as hard as SMH when the bubble deflates. It's all about beta...

Mentions:#SMH

Tech is up, S&P500 is down. Why are people still investing in this boomer bullshit? SMH gonna be worth more then VOO by the end of the year and these dipshits will tell you, "VOO and chill" like if the market crashed VOO wouldn't take a hit too. At least when the market crashes SMH, or SOXX, or SOXQ or whatever tech ETF you invested is will given you massive returns. SPY, VOO and IVV are gonna give you tiny baby dick returns and fuck you in the ass just as hard when the market crashes.

I’m holding for now, for lack of anything else to invest in. Stopped day trading SOXL and SMH before that last big drop…

Mentions:#SOXL#SMH

All that really matters is SMH and SOXX still up 3%. Long as semi’s and memory stay ripping the rest of the market could go to zero
