SMH puts. Chip trade fizzling out. Give yourself a month.
Did you see my comment to inverse Cramer and that I was gaped from $34 to $17? I never even went through with it SMH
Holding a call on VTI and intending to get in a call on SMH.
Any recommendation on ETF focused on AI/Robotics/Automation/Semiconductors? I have [SMH.US](http://SMH.US), [QQQ.US](http://QQQ.US) already, but I need something more focused on robotics I guess?
Doubled down on SMH puts and I'm not even remotely nervous about it... 
Anybody else make coffee in a saucepan? I decant instead of using filters. It's cheap and it works. Also anybody else keep calling SMH (the semiconductor ETF) "Shaking My Head"?

Locked in my 250% profits on SMH puts this morning, then loaded up on more puts with new expiry. Sorry bols, but the chip trade is done. Semis are fuk...

Not as concerning as OP's "source" link. SMH
Been buying some VTI / SMH every day or so while it's trading down.... Looking at a 5+ year time horizon.
403b/401k/Roth IRA is 100% Bitcoin. Taxable brokerage account 85/5/5/5 (FBTC/QQQ/XLE/SMH). And then I've got more self custodied Bitcoin.
SMH a good long term buy especially after this correction
Opinions on SMH? I'm 60% VTI and 40% SMH, have another 20-30% of my account in new cash ready to invest, should I got VXUS or SMH? I'm 36 and have steady income and no debt. My thoughts are I can risk SMH for 2 to 3 years and then roll over to VXUS at a random point in the future.
My SMH 230p's agree with you...

With $DFEN, you can play all defense earnings. This is similar to my play with $SMH from $197 for last NVDA earnings. This is probably the safest trade this week. Play defense directly if you want for $RTX or $LMT but I like to be insular from earnings call risks. $META calls are a meta play on TikTok ban news. It’s a direct competitor to Instagram Reels. $TSLA puts because reality has caught up to Tesla’s P/E ratio and horrendous CEO. /r/cybersucks for more info by me. That’s the extent of my knowledge for the week.
I’m excited to see more red and buying opportunities. I’m not retiring for another 25 years, going to load up on VTI, SMH.
Still got half my SMH puts......I think #🤔
Well, I basically played earnings- $WM into $HOOD into $AVAV and also played $NVDA earnings through $SMH
This is true. And to be clear, I've put my entire 401k into a mix of S&P 500 and international. I max it out every year. But in my IRA and brokerage, I do include QQQ and SMH to overweight myself in some sectors that I think will continue to outperform going forward.
5 years was an example. Let's look at 10 years: VOOV: 105% VTI: 154% S&P 500: 181% QQQ: 374% SMH: 806% Yes, holding these is aggressive and I would only do it with a long term horizon. But anyone who was only invested in S&P 500 for the past 10 years has underperformed significantly. I would never recommend individual stocks, but holding some position in these growth ETFs has been very lucrative long-term.
If you're investing and not gambling, you should only be looking at the long term performance. If we consider the past 5 years, here are the percent gains: VTI: 63.31% S&P 500: 68.96% QQQ: 117.49% SMH: 244.00% I know that the S&P 500 performs better during bear markets. But if you're holding long term, then "bear" and "bull" markets don't matter. Personally, I like to have a mix of some of these safer and "riskier" ETFs.
I ended up staying with SMH instead....
SMH puts up +246%! Still not selling them! 
Sold half my SMH puts. Nice hit!
I contribute $500 monthly. I’ve been saving some extra cash on the side that I finally put into use. Dumped around $1k today into QQQ, SMH and some other individual stocks that have been beaten up.
They stated in the article that they changed the way they “adjust” the numbers right at the time things started to look like they were getting better. It’s the same as when they say inflation appears to be going down now that we stopped looking at energy, food and housing costs. SMH. Election year means nothing you hear or read is true.
SMH he should’ve gotten vaxxed
Weekly gain 40 bucks. Coulda been much more. SMH
Damn. Those SMH puts I bought yesterday are killing it. Thanks Josh Brown!
Bought SMH puts yesterday so I hope not
All great, essential companies. Cant go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite is AMAT. They make the machines that make semiconductors, which the demand for is only growing. They are also not segmented to just one type of chip. They make the equipment needed for both low end chips and high end chips. Contrast this to ASML which has a monopoly on making the piece of equipment needed only in very advanced chips. Additionally AMAT has rewarded their investors in both price appreciation and dividend income, which they have committed to growing their dividend 20%/year for the next for years as of 2023. SMH is probably your safest route to avoid having all your eggs in one basket and being upset if the stock you picked slightly underperforms the others. Lets be honest, stock picking is very emotional with a lot of hindsight biases
SMH puts up 180% and I'm diamond handing it! 
One of the fastest 10% declines for the semi sector (SMH) in recent history
Was up 250% on nflx and i ddint take profit. SMH
Diamond handing my SMH puts. 
SMH it’s always a Thursday lmao.
You still trade SPY and not SMH? Kek.
Well that’s the issue I can’t, I could choose something like SOXX or SMH but eh. Gonna research more about KLA though

Headed down in value. Lost over $16k from .80 to .45 SMH guess this was a terrible company to buy stock in
It’s the last time I’m holding shares of it outside of SMH. TSM by itself has always lost me money.

For higher risks, I would invest long term in semiconductor ETF (e.g. SMH). I think this is an area at the heart of future innovations. If you want individual stocks, I would invest in companies that I think will be successful for a long time, AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, and META to a large degree.
I got 55 SMH 215 calls. ANd 5 NVDA 850 calls. 200 MU and 500 TSM shares. If we wake up to a TSM beat.. I will wake up 
Made a smooth $700 today. SMH puts were the play. 
SMH at my fine new SMH bags
Why did you do this now? You were supposed to do it when the price was high. SMH!
How you think that war would delay the progression of AI is beyond me. Also, we've been closer to WWIII several times before. SMH, the ignorance in this post is astounding.
The only thing saving me from my SPY calls are my SMH puts Semis are over. 
My SMH 225p's have got me JACKED TO THE TITS!!!
Sold my puts way too early SMH. sold at $2.20 went all the way to $4
DID YOU BUY NVDA and SMH puts?!!! You’re printing right now if you did on that call out
Maybe leaving the gold standard early in the 70’s triggered it. Maybe this time, 4 trillion of printing and then watching most of it get stolen did the same thing. And we’re still forgiving billions in student loans. SMH…..
I think you're in a good spot. You're not aligning totally to the dogma of diversification (no total market, no international) but sticking the majority in the S&P500 and complementing that with small cap value and semiconductor is fine (disclaimer: I hold SMH, too).
TSM earnings on Thursday, which could be start of the next big move with semiconductors leading the way Shit is about to get real interesting SMH chart looks like its been consolidating for a month and ready to breakout
Some fatass girl with her shoes all slanted because she so big, picking up 4 pizzas at little Caesars SMH.
I am new to investing. I opened my Roth IRA in March and have contributed the maximum for 2023 and 2024. My time horizon is 20 years. My wife and I both have very good and generous pensions (75% of our top 3 earning years, +3% for each additional year we work). I feel somewhat comfortable with risk given our pensions. Is the following allocation any good? I’ve seen people say not to get into semiconductors because it’s already priced in, and not to chase previous gains - but I’ve never invested before so I am establishing my investment strategy, portfolio, and allocation brand new. I’m not chasing previous gains and do believe in what I understand to be the current and future value of semiconductor technology. I’ve read that adding scv to a broad portfolio based on something like the S&P500 can help provide additional returns above and beyond just putting everything into the S&P500. What are your thoughts? FXAIX: 80% AVUV: 10% SMH: 10%
Holding SPY calls and SMH puts deep ITM. I just pretend I know what I'm doing. 
Are you interested in NVDA as a company or semiconductors as a sector? If the latter consider an ETF like SMH. It gets you exposure to NVDA (about a fifth of the fund) and other semiconductor companies.
SMH Tlry was almost $4 cdn two weeks ago and it goes to $2.60 today (up .10) and we are excited. We deserve the suffering. love for it go to $20 one day but need some solid news and company to take the momentum to the bank.
You have lot of heavy hitters, I will suggest to start buying only index VOO and SMH (if you are looking for AI exposure) and sell the losers every quarter if all they are doing is making new bottoms. *** quarterly or yearly rebalancing is good*** Do not look at this on daily basis .
Just sell Tesla and shift weight to VOO and SMH if you feel semi conductors rally is here to stay
He was doing fine until you mentioned his name. SMH, Now everyone will google him and get all their panties in a wod.
Bought SPY calls on today's bottom. I'm still holding an SMH put that's $13 ITM. 
Guess I’m holding these $SMH 225 weeklies
i misread your question. rule is never use anywhere from 1 to 10 percent of your account. The percentage is usually dictated by the amount of leverage youre going to use. And ok, i got scammed what is it to you? oh no im down 200$ for learning a skill. SMH. I care less if you believe me or not, but I made more money trading in the last 4 years than I have my whole life working combined. SO yea totally worth it.
Because Iran seized an oil ship. when you do that you are marking it unsafe to go through that area, like the comments said the strait of Hormuz. also its threatens UAE which is also important, and Saudia Arabia. Thing is, the day that Israel signs a peace deal with Saudi Arabia (which will come this or next year) Stonks will go Brrrrr and Fly the fuck up. and same time the Iranian money (if you can call that shit money) would go even lower which I dont know where to LOL but that will be funny. to summarize Puts on Iran Calls on Saudi Arabia Calls on Israel Calls on SPY QQQ and SMH ez
Ppl are dying and yall worried about your 100$ bets. SMH. Gonna short America tomorrow SPY500P 0DTE
Ive been telling my frenz its gonna happen but mostly they kept saying ooooh usually 90% of what u worry about don't happen at all my guy.. SMH told ya should've longed oil price bro
Want to be as aggressive as possible but still have relatively broad exposure in a specific sector? 70/30 mix of XLK/SMH
Im also planning to buy some Monday calls for under ATH in either SPY/QQQ/SMH for like may/june? Something like that Also Google and Amazon are in a super bullish momentum And quite sure apple woke up. May going to be juicy as fuck as long as no other bad CPI/PPI news come out. Trust me bro Iran aint doing anything that would be enough to scare into bear market that is actually the biggest fear mongering war shit quite literally buy the dip
At the rate of the last 6 months I honestly don't see it, I only see it going up if there's a stock split in the near future or another shopping earnings call, right now it's just flat lining nobody really has $800-$900 to buy shares, unless your playing puts and calls and then cashing out. By June/July $1,000 maybe possible but will see. If you had $9,000 would you buy 10 shares of NVDA or would you put in SMH 40 shares at $220 ?
Half ported SMH puts yesterday before the bell. Damn, did that pay off! 
AI ETF's are just mix of all tech companies. Semiconductor ETF $SMH is enough for now
Wtf is $SMH i mistakenly bought calls on them yesterday
Or SMH if you missed the NVDIA run up
SMH 
I'm half port on SMH puts. Semi's gonna bust soon....right?
Hey all, I currently have only a 401k with company for the match. I am about to open a Roth IRA and am unsure of what ratio and exactly what to invest in, currently this is what I'm looking at doing, id appreciate any help or advice. I'm 33 and this will be held till retirement. VOO/VTI ? SCHD QQQM SMH Maybe VGT or MGK? Want to stick to 3-5 of them. Thank you!
Thank you for the reply, However, there is likely a huge miss, esp with young investors at 20s with power of compounding for 40 years >Why try to beat the market when you can just buy the market See here Morningstar comparison [https://imgur.com/ChnPaQX](https://imgur.com/ChnPaQX) Even though past performance does not guarantee future returns, young people can rebalance time to time (if there is a need to change). Personally, I have seen last 7 years how QQQ/SMH is performing.
Again… nothing shows me that you have any understanding of principle fundamentals of fiat currency and principles of economics, and are just making overboard assertions. You can take some time to self study about it, or you can choose to have your hard earned dollars through labor wilt away from fiat debasement. And people cry about why it’s so hard to afford a home today. SMH…
With my 401K mirroring VOO, how bad is dumping my HYSA into: QQQM 50% SMH 35% SOXL 15% I need something aggressive. Already spent 2 years losing $500 per paycheck on few-weeks-out call debit spreads.
I’ve started dca’ing into SOXQ the past month. I prefer it over SMH because of the current cost, cheaper exp ratio and it’s evenly distributed, not top heavy to NVDA.
