SMH is up, but my semiconductor heavy holdings are all down except MU.
That’s why I just buy SMH and SOXX. These companies get stuck in ranges and the index will cycle them. E.g., NVDA has been flat for 3 months, SMH is up 15 because it caught the memory run.
Even SMH starting to role over now
Today I estimated I am down about 12k in a half dozen stocks, APP being one of them. Every single red number hurts. However, I’ve been investing a long time and the losses are fairly insignificant in the overall portfolio, fortunately. Plus I know most of them will recover if I live long enough. You MUST spread out, invest in other stocks. I’d be in a horrible place if all I owned was APP. Buy some SPMO, QQQM, SMH and never sell it. You won’t be sorry.
If I was going to yolo into anything, I’d buy SMH or SOXX. The semiconductors have done fantastically well for me-I’ve owned FSELX for well over 20 years and am up enormously. I also own NVDIA, ASML, and TSM, because I like owning some individuals and am addicted to the gains to be made in semis. Need to rebalance, badly. I have also owned APP for a while. Be wary, it’s extremely volatile. I’ve bought and sold, made some money, but am currently underwater. Consider building a foundation in VOO or SPY or IVV. Risk is exciting, but having a good amount in steady eddies (that grow) can take the edge off when APP drops $100 over a couple days.

SMH The company filed a public offering of up to 115M shares of its common stock or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof exercisable for up to 115M shares of common stock, together with common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 172.5M shares of its common stock representing 150% of the offered securities, and the warrant shares. Joseph Gunnar & Co. is acting as the placement agent for the offering.
If you google ETFs by sectors, you get the best results, the same covered by CNBC Bloomberg etc. For example, for semiconductors is Van H Semi, SMH, SOXX, for commodities you have Invesco etc. However, here is the art- 0-100,000 $ ETFs may be a good start, but then you buy both winners AND losers in the same basket, in other words you will mix 1000% YTY Sandisk with Microsoft negative. And when you start putting large sums of money, say you put 1 million into a Semi ETF, well, some 80,000$ is in NVIDIA at 5-8% (regulatory relative) because most ETF's prioritize nvidia, apple etc. One way or another, you end up buying mega caps. Hence why ETFs are nice for beginners but an anchor for moderate investors or better. Say I want a non AI industrial or tech supplier, leading niche? Pulse Seismic supports all industries, some 13% dividend and last years holders made some 60%. Or Planet Labs, niche Satellite constellation provider. etc. You can do a Dow Jones **SPDR ,** Nasdaq S&P etc. ETFs are a good lazy approach but they also benefit more from monthly contributions and dollar averaging. One way or another, one has to do some homework when choosing, and making sure the rate of growth is adequate.
Trying to diversify and learn more about investing in general for long term success. Below is what i am holding right now. about 100k. looking into adding maybe looked into RTX and ASTS but being more conservative I also like SMH . Will make an effort to jump on here daily to learn with you all! VUG 40% VOO 40% TSLA 5% AAPL 5% AMZN 4% FBTC 2% LFMD 1%
Um... SMH had yearly returns of 73% (2023), 39% (2024), and 49% (2025). MAGS had a 64% annual return in 2024 and 23% in 2025. Even a more conservative play of VXUS averages out to about 17% return over the past 3 years.

SMH does better (significantly better) than XLK on the 1yr, 5yr, and 10yr timeframes.
Eight years before, someone asked me like this "Magical crystal ball", that made me work on a Magic Crystal Ball project and I made it. Yes, it gave me a Trigger on Thursday, I bought a lot at close and after hour dipped further thursday, I bought again. Sold all my SPY calls at friday close, but holding all QQQ,SMH, TQQQ, SLV,GLD for this bull run. If there is a pull back tomorrow, I will be buying MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN and NFLX...etc
And you didn't think to tell us? SMH.
How does anyone look at our near-ATH, capex plans for the tech majors, and last week’s pan-asset crash and think ‘now is the time to buy’? You have had literally every chance to take your chips off the table SMH.
These losers, right? SMH
What? I’m simply asking you a question. You’re quite rude. SMH only on Reddit
MU, WDC, SNDK, are great choices for this growth. If you're into a one size fit all choice: SMH ETF meets your needs
Noted. Btw I don’t do individual stocks. All my allocation in on SMH
I still have my 500 shares. Originally bought 50 shares in 2007! I can’t bring myself to sell it. SMH. I only put maybe $3K into it and it’s worth over $200K. I keep thinking that over the next 10yrs, we could see splits or stock price equivalent up to $2,000/sh. I’ll exit once it hits $1M.
Bro lol just stack some MU, SNDK, SMH shares
Yea, what is this, r/smallstreetbets ? SMH.
Dame bro, he touched that bad huh? SMH
Nah man these are the undervalued plays that no one knows about yet! When I look at the chart for SMH it’s literally a straight green line up since April of 2025. How do people think now is the time to buy semiconductor equipment and fabless names? Reading all of the comments on here make me realize how quickly all of these people are gonna get burnt when the capex just stops suddenly and there isn’t gonna be any warning signs.
I’d just look at the SMH ETF. Its top holdings are NVIDIA, TSMC, Broadcom, Micron, AMD, ASML, Lam Research, KLA, Texas Instruments, and Qualcomm, which is basically the same list everyone keeps mentioning here. Much easier than trying to pick each winner individually.
You def belong here. SMH….
Here are my 2 cents on ETF long term hold I still believe in energy sector I would go for sure on URNM I am confident in semi conductors so SMH as well Finally battery market will still do well so lithium and battery like LIT
ALAB 167 calls were just 10 cents yesterday. Went up by 3000%, would have turned $10 to $300+. SMH wasted opportunity. I wish I had a time machine.
Buy SMH and buy the SPY on a monthly recurring payment and sit and forget is good advice but if you are and if it you are okay losing it for chances at fortunes go to /rdaytrading
SMX isn't even a pennystock and you're getting downvoted for asking if there's any pennystocks to buy in a pennystock sub, more like SMH
bought 10 78C yesterday at 0.5, sold at open at 1.5, they're at 6 now, SMH
$SMH such an underrated ETF
I should have kept my SPY calls SMH.
Buy $SMH if you don't know what you're doing.
Why won’t Reddit let me save this beautiful meme SMH.
Good. I've got SMH covered calls that are deep itm. Crash a little so I can get out.
I mean you could get most of that with an ETF like XLK or SMH.
SMH and SOXX haven't even began to pullback. Imagine if they do..
Shoulda bought GOOG instead of MSFT SMH
MSFT below 400. I'm a generational bag Holder. SMH
Lost all the gains from 2025 already. Back to square one SMH
Capex for mega corps like Google, Meta, and Amazon is higher than ever as they invest into expanding their AI projects and a huge portion of that money is going directly into chips/semiconductors which means the "AI bubble" fears miss the reality of semis getting record profits for at least another year or two. Because of this, I believe the outlook is still moderately bullish for Nvidia and highly bullish for semiconductors as a whole. Personally, I'm betting on the latter with the semiconductor ETF is SMH so you have broad exposure (vs. betting on Nvidia)
SMH green but AMD still down 2.5%. Classic. 😆
it was high because at one point I really wanted to sell but didn’t like the price so I sold a deep itm call so I can make a quick buck and it actually went down ~10-15% and I made 10% of the value from that one call I think it was somewhere around 20-25% over 4 or so months because the stock never kept going down 🤪. Bought right at the peak last year and sold for an 17% loss and put all of the money in to SMH.
RKLB entire move yesterday gone in pre market SMH
Woke up right before close and saw I only made $300 on puts WTF so I made a last minute call on Google certain it would print...SMH
Dude I forgot that fucking stop losses don’t work in AH. Ffs 15% loss in like 10s SMH. At least I was only in for 290 shares. Still sucks though…
Had no cash so couldn’t buy the googl dip SMH
If I hadn't made like $800 on $SMH puts I'd be pissed. Same results as last time dumped that trash 20% and this time it ends up flat despite no improvement whatsoever.
I’m down $1k over the last two days, which is 50% of my gambling account. SMH
Didnt think the dip would keep dipping 😭😭😭 And to make it even worse i had 2k into SMH ETF lmaooo , but those my long term investment , I have 2k into VOO and 2k into SMH
"APH is suffering from 'Guilt by Association.' It’s heavily weighted in the same ETFs (XLK, SMH) as the big semiconductor names. When funds dump Nvidia and AMD (which they are doing aggressively this week), they inadvertently sell APH too because of how the baskets are structured. Nothing is wrong with the company itself, it’s just a liquidity event in the sector. If you liked it at $70, you should love it here. This is a classic 'baby out with the bathwater' scenario
Lots of crying in the casino and we ain't even too far down from ATH. SMH
I am losing my house WTF is this garbage? SMH
SMH I know people love to blame everything on Trump, but come on. Money is at stake here and I do not support lying because y'all have TDS It's outsourcing and a cultural shift where companies are fine running with skeleton crews and only want to hire unicorns with rare skills Maybe look if the largest employers are remotely impacted by tariffs before espousing misinformation? Also the downtrend in hiring outside fast food began a year or so before tariffs
$SMR more like SMH bruh getting railed
It's fucking insane that the entire SMH gains from January were wiped out in 3-4 days.
Copper is literally brown gold and y’all ain’t buying SMH
I am currently sitting on my hands and in cash and sold mostly everything last week after making a nice 4.5% in January. I am resisting the urge to buy back in until things settle more this week. The only positions I am holding are VDE, SCHD, and SMH as SMH is the hardware for AI and not software. SMH got caught in the AI drop but I think will recover. Microsoft is in the penalty box for awhile. and is in a tough spot. If the IRAN/USA conflict continues to heat up, I am going to push into energy and back into GOLD (SGOL) since it will most likely ride up again. IRAN sent out a drone today to attack the US fleet and this will only provoke the Department of War. I predict if the US is going to attack it will be on the new moon, around Feb 17th also depending on weather.
SMCI 6% for a massive beat. SMH this game is so rigged.
If SMH and SOXX pullback its a long way down
35%. This year 75-80% SWPPX and the rest in QQQM/SCHD. Maybe SMH again.
I’ve been loading up on SMH since 2018. Didn’t expect it to rise this much or this quickly but happy with the results. All because I read about it somewhere on Reddit and had a bunch of cash in my retirement accounts at the time. SMH and VOO have been my bread and butter…
Damn everything I touch seems to turn red, none of my usual type plays are working SMH
I had SPY puts at open, but decided to sell them and buy calls at 691 SMH.
I kept Averaging down on Hood and mfer kept going down ! SMH
Were seeing a regime change there is bound to be some fluctuations. SMH
Look into SMH.. that way you can play the semis.
SMH or SMGB (UK) Hold them all, ooh and some FLRK for the sweet SK Hynix, Samsung.
Yeah I mean that’s fine, but consistently I see people dumping on others for doing very reasonable things like allocating to SMH or individual megacap stocks. These are layups. People shouldn’t be shitting on others for having conviction. Being too scared/stupid to take calculated risks and playing it off by being smug about it online is loser shit
Have SMH for 15 months now. This thing is unstoppable.
It may be worth it not betting on one but taking a little less of a risk on SMH.
If you like ETFs, consider a semiconductor ETF like SMH or SOXX
If you want to be aggressive without being too reckless, i suggest that you go 70-80% QQQM or SCHG and 30-20% SMH or VGT. Since you're just starting up and have "a few dollars", use a broker that allows fractional shares. Also, it is better to add small increments consistently than waiting for the best time for a perfect entry.
SMH went from -3% to +0.5%, lol. NVDA still struggling so GOOGL may lap it in the near future.
You holding short dated calls over the weekend still haven’t learned. SMH
I see that you are only considering two options, but what about the third - wait for some signs of strength in IGV in general and MSFT in particular? Yes, MSFT isn’t just software, they have a cloud component and some AI plays. But the software sector has been demolished recently. Maybe some big players estimate that soon the software can be custom made by AI for pennies on the dollar compared to current prices. MSFT itself is in a downtrend ever since the earnings gap and crap. I personally tried playing some bounces, but that was a net negative. Looking for bounces to sell seems to be the play at the moment. The stock is currently below 200 daily SMA, which typically is a sign to stay away for some institutional investors. It is in a peculiar spot at the moment technically - there’s a recent gap above, but also a gap below from the earnings move that really kick started the grind up last year. It’s unclear if there are more dip buyers willing to close the overhead gap or more sellers waiting for a lower high to hammer it down to close the gap below. The market as a whole, especially Nasdaq, has lost the momentum ever since the October 10th sell off. Nasdaq still hasn’t able to even reach the ATH despite the SPX hitting 7k. Clearly there has been a rotation out of big tech (despite SMH going on a monster run). I would suggest waiting if this is the amount of money that is meaningful to you. There are no clear buy signal on MSFT chart.
