Passive index fund investing. At a risk level you’re comfortable with. VT to VTI to VOO to QQQ to SMH. But from each paycheck and hold for long periods, decades even.
Have most of your money in something like VT with satellite allocations in gold and qqq. Have this in your bank or a seperate app. Never touch it or even look at it. Then make a fun account on a sketchy broker like robinhood. Start by investing in etfs instead of individual shares just to get a feel with relatively little risk. It will become clear to you that most of the growth is just coming from a handful of hype stocks. While those can fall just as quickly as they have risen, if you catch the wave you can make lots of money. Here is where options or leveraged etfs can make you good money, but be careful, if you invest at a peak (which can be after a parabolic blow off top) you can lose tons of money even with safe plays. This happened on october 31st, literally everything was at ATH, then everything came crashing down. That was just a little taste of what a major correction can look like. With options/leveraged etfs i would suggest broad semiconductors like ticker SMH (hard to predict which company will do well, the only constant is that nvidia will underperform), micron/sandisk/sk hynix/samsung/tsmc/asml individually, and gold/silver/copper/uranium miners. Tech/ai i wouldn't even touch right now. Space stonks work too (or jedi etf) or certain robotics companies like kraken or teradyne. Those all make 0 profits though so their growth is all hype and can pop very quickly.
I’d still probably stick with ETFs in whatever sectors you and they are interested in. I’ve had VGT for tech in the past, but its performance this past year really slowed down. Currently I own SMH (semiconductor ETF), SHLD (global defense ETF), and SPMO (a momentum stock that rebalances every 6 months to invest in companies that have had a positive trajectory the prior six months. This latest rebalance has not been good however). The vast majority of my portfolio is in boring broad US and international ETFs though. I would avoid picking individual stocks for someone else’s portfolio.
Not Sandisk but balls deep in SMH which has Micron and TSMC.
what else aside from SMH and GOOGL
Sold MU at 110, RKLB at 4, OKLO at 10 for a fat loss, SMH in the 200s. I genuinely feel so regarded

I’ve been in Rolls Royce ADR since it was on its heels at $1.50 during Covid (one of those too big to fail investments. I think it closes at $15+ on Friday). But yeah, the EU defense sector is only going to rise given the amount of funding the EU member are doing whether or not the Ukraine war ends. With the arctic ice melting making the waters more accessible, everyone is going to be jockeying for strategic positions in the North Pole region. Hence Trumps desire to fully control Greenland (SMH). Just put more defense systems and boots on the ground and settle this BS desire. Minerals extraction can be done in more suitable environments. Anyway, I found a follow up on the story. Now I remember. It was Bury (the shorter) that accused the AI sector of foul play. Of course he has his own agenda.

My concern is getting doxxed. I think there's metadata that's left behind. When I share the Google website it feeds from a Google sheet. I have to sort it for you every morning, which I do anyway around 4:00 a.m.. Anyways, it's obvious the same stocks are firing off the last 6 months $NLR ETF (even with Constellation Energy getting crushed) $GMET (low liquid though bid/ask issues) green metals $ICOP / Gold $DAPP and $NODE (node crypto) $SMH of course but not so hot. I missed GEV. Does anybody think GED is just overpriced? I freaking love that stock. $Crdo is my stock since 2023. It's the biggest winner of my life. Bought it at 33. Sold it at 2:03. Swing the hell out of it. Don't mind to wash the risk.
Bro....if you jobs offers a 401k (roth 401k preferred) enroll and get the match at the very least. You should be putting 12% minimum into that. Research the funds avaliable in the 401k and sort by highest return over longest period of time and pick the top 3 or 4, an s&p 500 fund will be in there so that has you covered for that. Put enough into a high yield savings to cover 6 months expenses, then setup an individual investment account and automate it to invest a preset weekly amount into a fund of your choosing (currently im buying SMH).
Here is my stack since 12/29/2025 SCHG 45% SCHD 25% SGOL (Just bailed after making 6%) SMH 20% with a 15% Trailing Stop GOOGLE with a 10% Trailing Stop (totally speculative, I think they are going to own AI after the bubble bursts, probably going to sell and wait until the next dip) SGOV (Parking cash here for dollar cost averaging and buying dips) VYMI (Just sold after making 2.5%) COF (Bought it when dropped 10% on Trump's push to 10% APR on Credit Cards, already made 3%, did a sell to cover) The S&P returned 1.5% this year and I am already up 3.5% I am not going to VOO and chill. I am going to be aggressive, buy the fear like COF, chase the SEMIs, and chase the growth with SCHG then use SCHD to keep plowing dividends back into more cash and stock. So far I have beaten the market nearly every day of the year (NASDAQ, DJIA, S&P 500) including today which they were all down and I was still up .07% I am not fanatical about it but watch it at least every couple of days and trade at lunch based on news. My goal is to hustle 20% or better this year and I have 16.5% to go and 3.5% just at Jan 16th isn't too bad. My macro investor friends keep screaming about the Schiller Cape and are predicting a crash around August-December timeframe 2026. Everything is so dynamic right now it scares me a little.

TRNR bagged I can’t believe it lol, what a way to end an amazing week SMH
SMH at $400. Anyone check on bond bros recently?
Should have raised it during Biden's term then there would be a lot more credibility. Now we are all dealing with inflation that was allowed to run for too long. Bad look SMH
TRNR so annoying I alerted this one at 90 cents but my comments wouldn’t post due to the weird news link SMH But yes this could could go big
IBRX no longer a pennystock stop posting it on here SMH 😎
SMH at the top of its long term channel with a reversing candle.
Not saying this is a good portfolio, but the 15 year drawdown I believe you're referring to is from 2000 (dot com boom) to 2017. Thing is, the entire stock market of the 2000s was ass and the S&P500 itself took from 2000 to 2012 to recover. If you look at the biggest holdings of VOO and SMH, they are not that different or disconnected at this point. Both have NVDA at #1 and AVGO in their top 10, but SMH has more semiconductor hardware companies whereas VOO has magnificent 7 companies, which are buying from SMH companies anyway.
SMH don't use fintel. IB or chart exchange for the live SI and Dailies respectively. Zoom out then look at shorting volumes over the last 2 weeks. Price action yesterday then today = forced to cover Tomorrow could be epic
SMH? I basically remade it buy trimmed some of the pos I don't like, like TXN.
Well I got roasted here yesterday SMH
IBRX took heavy flack yesterday SMH, feels good to be vindicated The squeeze is happening (albeit slow because of the big float)
You can't go wrong simply buying $SMH. Even if you know fuck all about the sector.
Gezz i thought i would be an old man when SMH hit 400 yet here we are already

The question is this, is AI making money? The answer is, not yet. However, I think Google is best poised to sell subscription services that actually work. I am just piling into Google stock and SMH since someone has to make all those new Tensor flow chips.
SLV and SMH take me to the promised land
I have read QQQM CHAT SMH VOO and chill lately.
So why not just load up on SMH for the long haul? Or does it need to be a crazy options play to qualify?
Thats fair enough, I have my own way of trading and put my plays on here. You can ignore me if you like lol RIME had the set up but didn’t follow through. IBRX is still very much in play, but has a bigger float though so won’t go up in a straight line. In only takes 1 out of maybe 5 fails to get a result for the week i.e. BNAI I can’t be right 100% of the time SMH
On CNBC they said that Claude had some new thing that replicates some SAAS functionality. I haven't evaluated it. This is some new post Claude code thing, and Claude Code has the community really excited. Even some google developers sang its praises. They basically said that investors are questioning whether software deserves such a big presumed moat. Per seat licenses are trash when US companies are letting their workforce slowly shrink, asking each employee to do more with AI, and hope the hallucinations aren't as expensive as the lost employees. If AI models can increasingly write simple code-length-limited libraries from scratch if guided by an experienced developer, that could be bad for software at high multiples. BUT... I am actually starting to look at software names because their PE ratios are getting really low, to the point where the could increase dividends and justify the ROI of buybacks. There is a market for fixed-income stocks. I'm just not buying yet. Full disclosure, I have super long duration long puts/bear spreads on IGV. It had been anti-aliasing semis. At one point, it looked like the recent SMH runup was funded by IGV. We'll see if there are any enduring pairs-trade mechanics to the IGV SMH pair.
I don’t see how SMH its a big float so won’t be immediate
IBRX - I took a lot of downvotes and got called a baggie in my post on this sub lol SMH https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/OFKjl6miZy
You are over exposing yourself by choosing VTI and VOO since they share similar holdings. Personally I'd keep VOO but either works, swap QQQ with SMH unless you want less volatility but since you're pretty young I would go with SMH. SCHD isnt bad but if you want more growth given your age again I would go with SCHG or add VXUS as well for international exposure.
Mods haven’t handed out a new flair in months now. All kinds of hilarious regulars in here now and not a single damn flair given. SMH
SMH plus TSM is a good plan. It just depends on what holdings of a semi ETF you want to put your TSM on top of. CHPS is very good option currently, with its top six holdings being Micron, SK hynix and the four biggest chip equipment stocks. \> And how to split? No answer is possible to that. It's up to you. If TSM is your main interest, then decide how much you want of it, and buy whichever ETF you want then as much TSM individually so that you end up with the percentage of TSM you want.
When I was younger I used to deal. Nothing crazy, just some calendars, put/call spreads, stuff like that. Nowadays, these kids out here getting high on their own supply. And it ain’t the soft shit either, they’re out here selling naked FDs. And for what? SMH, don’t do options kids.
OCG probably one of the worst investments you can possibly make, but I know for a fact that these X/twitter penny pumpers (you know who they are SMH) will get their followers on discord on to this before the reverse split on Jan 16
Oh yeah but worth throwing some fun money at it. So many reverse split/delisting tickers get pumped SMH
Why would you buy TSM and SMH, when TSM has a 10.5% weighting in SMH? Rather than buying SMH, I own a number of the semiconductor stocks, including TSM, NVDA, AMD, KLAC, AVGO
Timing the market is tough but semis have been beaten up lately so could be decent entry point. I'd probably go heavier on SMH since it's more diversified than the others, maybe 70/30 split with TSM but that's just me
No it doesn't take 10-15 years. SMH
This was inevitable and we all knew it was going to happen. Respected Presidents would consider American lives first, attempt to get them out before conducting operations as big as this. This dummy just went off and did it out of the blue. Now we have our own people stuck/fearing for their lives there. And guess what? He’s going to say it’s their fault for going to a country like Venezuela in the first place. SMH
he still does not understand how tariffs work SMH
Collective punishment. Great way to show the world you're not the bad guy. SMH.
SMH? Just drop the garbage on the bottom.
Consider going with SP500 for the other 30% since you’re going so heavy on semiconductors. I am doing something similar in my Roth and taxable BTW but huge majority of my net worth is in 401k invested in SP500 so like you I’m okay with the volatility. I couldn’t pick between quite a few similar ETFs so I split weights like this: QQQM/VGT (50%), SMH/SHMH (35%), NLR/URA (5%), BTC/ETH/XRP (10%)
Owned SMH for quite awhile, but sold it and just bought the underlying w/o NVDA (and others) it’ll pop at some point this year just doesn’t seem for a bit.
J pow did a soft landing all for Trump to come in and light the tarmac on fire. SMH
"People are feed up with the current shit and they are willing to pick anyone that offers any potential solutions." * Has critical thinking just stopped being taught in America? Like wtf kind of take is this? Seems incompetent. "I think that TACO should have just stayed away from tariffs and imperialism and all would be good. Deportation of illegals is 100% good and border security." * Tariffs = Inflationary. **The man has been trying to use the cover of productivity (and thus, disinflationary) gains from AI to push a nationalist, populist, and oftentimes racist agenda. If people don't see that, they are regarded**, and will only complain once they realize wtf is happening. (See who is part of Trump's inner circle. Oil ppl? Bank ppl? No. Tech/AI/Crypto people. ) * Border security? Definitely good and needed, but people should not act like you can't go outside and get drugs—or that fentanyl still isn't coming into our borders. Overindexing on this pro is causing a lot of Americans to be blind to just how much they're losing in savings and generational wealth. * "Transgender insanity" — These surgeries represented only ≈0.00375% of all surgeries affecting the U.S. population per annum during the "terrible" Biden Administration. Is everyone who voted for this an insecure snowflake, who sucks at math and research? (If so, makes sense why they'd be so concerned about China taking the edge... or, god forbid, H-1B recipients from India literally powering the stock market right now through the AI-trade and giving our country a fucking chance to compete.) SMH... we gotta start speaking up. This level of incompetence directly affects stock market returns.
I’m shorting MU tomorrow for sure maybe SMH
True. But I guess this is why people say to wheel stable things. SMH = best wheel
What are you talking about? Ukraine 🇺🇦 was using starlink to get intelligence reports during the war even. SMH 🤦♂️
It blows my mind how many on here have no clue and just throw money at shit. Just held someones hand who got stuck in a clinical bio stock, could not understand "why am I being punished for believing in a companies tech" and I am like look based on Fridays info you can sell 30 contracts of covered calls with an $7.5 strike expiring in May 26 bank $58/100 x 30 contracts = $1740 and if they get called away your cost basis is $6.40 you make $1.10/share x 3000 = $3300 for a total of $5040. If they don't get called away you can sell calls again (didn't care to get in to the whole possibility of buying them back, banking the difference and selling them again)! SMH, There is more than one way to get milk out of a goat lmfao!
🐻❄️ 🐻❄️ 🐻❄️ You realize how many 🐧🐧🐧at the NORTH pole? Usonians SMH
Not a single person mentioned SMH, which has all of ur stocks u want to hold. Semiconductor etf is what u need.
Your thinking makes sense. NVDA + SMH already covers a lot of the AI upside, especially on the compute side, so you’re not underexposed there. If you want to lean into the next layer, energy and infrastructure is probably the right place to look. Data centres need insane amounts of power, cooling, and grid upgrades. Companies tied to power generation, grid equipment, and electrical components feel like a quieter but real beneficiary. I’d be careful about adding too many individual names though. At this point you’re already concentrated, so anything new should be a small satellite rather than a core position. The risk with AI plays now isn’t missing it, it’s overloading into the same theme without realising it.
The US Can’t even help its own citizens. SMH.
The keep your head down and continually contribute approach is great. Might help to list symbols in addition to or instead of fund names and also use % instead of currency. Obviously you’re starting with 1000 here so it’s easy for even my feeble brain to do the math but if you read around here a lot you’ll see examples like: VOO 50%, SMH 25%, SGOV 15%, IBIT 10% as that’s concise and easy to give feedback on. I agree with the comment poking at your dividend focus. There’s probably a better alternative for your largest fraction from a long term growth perspective. I like SMH, it’s been good for me, but there’s risk since it’s so tightly tied to AI/AI CapEx. My last comment is a little contradictory, I like that there’s some risk/reward with your smaller chunks but I also think your main chunk could be larger for stability purposes. Not necessarily Three Fund Portfolio proportions but higher than 35%.
If you’re not someone that watches the graph daily & the stock market, that’s how i’d distribute 15k$ this year. Engine room : 40% allocation SMH : 25% / IYW : 15% Physical constraint : 30% allocation URA : 10% / GRID : 10% / NUKZ : 5% / DTCR : 5% Application : 20% allocation ARKQ : 20% Future option : 10% allocation QTUM: 10%
AOC Sponsored a bill for this already. SMH.
I’ve been buying leaps of SMH instead of trying to bet on an individual ticker. Bubble talk aside I personally don’t see the sector slowing down any time soon. Finally got out of my Nvidia positions.
Do some of your own DD. Investing is not jumping into a stock that you think is going to pop off the day after you buy it. SMH. Your buy high and sell low approach has been working great for you. You belong here. 🤡
For reference, SMH’s recent leg up from the bottom of the pullback on the 20th of November, month long setup to a breakout to the high of today with everything includes 20%. ONDS, a leading semi conductor stock pulled back and had a month long tightening consolidation range worth 80% starting in 7th of November into a breakout of a further 40%. If you play your stop losses and take profits risk averse, you’re getting far more bang for your buck.
Yeah I agree with you. Why would you buy an individual stock that trades on average 2-3% a day when SMH is much safer and also trades on average 2-3% a day. I was just continuing on from your comment, why trade an etf when there’s leaders in that sector trading at 10%+.
I think the question is if SOXX or SMH is worth buying when you can just buy ONDS or SNDK which give higher growth potential & tight range stop losses
Bought SMH LEAPS at the close….
SMH is up 2.8% and AMD can't even stay green. An absolute tragedy of a ticker.
Oil is old school gold money....wait till he finds out China has moved on to electric and solar capabilities....no match in the next world....USA is so far behind SMH sell it to Africans. I am sure they will buy it with our money. 😂
It really is. It's still above my cost basis but I really shouldn't have averaged up. It's too much pain and it ends up underperforming SMH or any of the other semis with 10x the pain.
Nothing wrong with VOO/VI it's slow, safe, growth over time. This is my strategy and I believe it will beat VOO/VTI over the next year, but I have higher risk exposure in SMH and SGOL. |SMH (Semiconductors)|15%| |:-|:-| |SCHD|20%| |GLD/SGOL|15%| |VYMI|10%| |SGOV|10%| |SCHG|30%|
