I tried the butterfly position on ticker MSTR ? is that the issue - meaning MSTR it is not Illiquid enough? does MU, SMH,IBM.ARM,SNDK will behave differently?

3x leveraged ETFs have a volatility profile that makes CSPs deceptive. A few things to keep in mind: Volatility drag compounds against you if assignedSOXL can drop 40-50% in a rough month and take *much* longer to recover than the underlying index because of daily rebalancing. Getting assigned at what looks like a deep discount can turn into a very long hold Also 50-70% OTM on SOXL still carries real risk because the realized vol on a 3x product can blow through strikes that look safe on a regular ETF. I would track the IV rank on SOXL separately from SMH... sometimes the premium looks great but you are actually selling at low IV for that product Liquidity disappears fast on selloffs. You mentioned NUGT and USD having liquidity issues, SOXL is better but still thins out when you need to roll the most. Wide spreads during a vol spike can eat a big chunk of your premium. What delta range are you typically selling at?

The bear market cycle never fails, does it? Bad thing happens, market crashes a bit, people panic sell, then wait for it to bottom out, then they think they see signs of a bottom so they start buying in, then others FOMO in because they're afraid of missing buying the bottom, so market pops up, only to crash back down again even further because the thing that made it start crashing in the first place is still a problem, and the people who bought the dip way too early sell because now they're afraid they bought too close to the top, and the market crashes even more, until we reach a real bottom. SMH every single time. People never change.

I’m a firm believer that people that post a negative comment on a legitimate post like this one are getting stoned and probably don’t have a job and still live at home. The companies that provide technology to support SpaceX or similar companies are the ones that could possibly make you a lot of money. SMH

This is prior buffet last move of a ~1-2% stake in GOOGL (and more than 30% from his student, Li Lu) so I’d personally cut msft/appl (similar CAGR, and out the 3, I think google is positioning itself really good as a defensive play). i’d then redistribute either into SMH (vaneck’s semiconductor ETF) and top up voo/amzn (or more googl, even) or either buy directly some nvda/btc + googl. * i like, and own, amzn too, but if amzn + intc CAGR are similar, you might as well top up ETFs/individual companies positioning themselves for the future.

SMH etf

Going into today (The day before Good Friday), millions of "Put" options (bets that the market will drop) were purchased by investors seeking insurance. The Wall Street market makers who sold those Puts had to short the actual stocks (like MSFT and VOO) to hedge their own risk. When 4:00 PM approached and the market hadn't crashed, those Puts became worthless. The market makers suddenly didn't need their hedges anymore. So, what did they do? They aggressively bought back millions of shares of stock in the final 5 minutes to clear their books before the long weekend. There was a $1.2 Billion Sell Imbalance on the tape at 3:55 PM. The retail crowd saw that and assumed a crash was imminent. But institutional "Whales" (pension funds, sovereign wealth funds) love liquidity. They saw $1.2 billion worth of desperate sellers and decided to swallow the whole thing. They bought the imbalance, absorbing the panic and pushing the closing price higher. Which makes me sad as a retail investory, because I was trying to pickup some VOO, MSFT, SMH at a discount. I am often reminded of the saying, "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." I think I am going to print it out and hang it on the wall.

> I was thinking maybe quantum computing. IMO, there's a bunch of garbage in the QTUM ETF. You'd be better off going with a semiconductor fund like SMH (time might be running out though) or a broader AI & Energy sector ETF like AIPO which is my current flavor of the week. Yes, I'm addicted to thematic ETFs.

Irrelevant and you need to decouple AI and Iran. The energy grid doesn’t rely on oil it relies on natural gas, which isn’t imported or related to Iran in any way. Less than 1% of US energy generation is made from oil. SMH

usa_reddit

I just bought, IAU, AVAV, ITA. Boots on the ground means defense and drone stocks might go up up up. The US is lacking a drone defense system that works and AVAV could get a blank check. Also I am going back into a little gold just because of the geopolitical situation. I have eeked out at 5.03% gain YTD in the face of a down market. I have dumped all tech but Microsoft. I will take SMH at 240 which looks like it could be a reality if energy keeps getting bombed.

avilacjf

I bought two years ago, a year ago, a month ago, and probably some more again by the end of the week. It's a bit over 10% of my overall portfolio at this point and my confidence is high that they will continue to do well. If you can't trust your thesis in volatile times then you're prone to sell on lows and buy on highs and that's a recipe for disaster, and it's a sign that you don't have a strong enough reason to own it in the first place. False confidence is also a big risk, if you don't completely understand the business and the surrounding dynamics you're better off owning an ETF like SMH, VOO, or VT.

HoneyBadger552

Chasing_waterfalls23

I’m a LT investor. Don’t do any trading so I don’t ever sell my positions and only add onto them. I have mainly ETFs, a couple of mutual funds, AMZN and META in my portfolio. I had been wanting to buy real estate for a while so I had a large sum of cash in my HYSA. Changed my mind about real estate and so last year during the tariff saga, I lump summed about half of the funds into VOO and VGT (at a price of about $480ish for both funds). But then things turned around and stocks soared to ATHs. Been holding onto the rest of that cash waiting for the right time to get in and I finally started going in today. Got some VOO today at $585 and will continue to DCA next week if the dip continues. I know that I cannot time the bottom but something feels good about buying at a discount. Looking to get more VOO, SMH and META. Maybe finally get some NVDA too. We’ll see.

annoyed_meows

I bought VGT, AMZN, BRKB, SMH and SOFI. Little nibbles. Ive been buying the past two weeks. More as it falls. I prefer that because I won't time the bottom well. Running out of dry powder, however. Ill buy more next week.

If we hadn't topped for 5 months I would have banked on a short 10% pullback and then reverse but aftet 5 months of mostly distribution I somehow doubt this will end soon. I keep harping on semiconductors lol but they really haven't broken down yet and they need to in order for this to flush out. SMH and SOXX are still up ytd I think. Least they were last night when I checked.

RoryMorello

Up 10% YTD. Because I do what should not be done : I can't stay passive when I see myself rushing in a wall and can't help but "time the market". I had lot of SMH and Gold in complement to my World. Sold my SMH mid january, sold my World mid February. I still have my gold, and a lot of cash now, waiting for an opportunity and sleeping well at night. I know... I should not try to manage actively my portfolio, more so by being so binary and timing the market... But when I saw the way Trump started the year (Venezuela, Greenland, NATO shit and all, Iran threat brewing), AI hype fading, late cycle kinda rotation, gold booming abnormaly, tarifs being judged illegals for most parts, nvidia results incoming with impossible expectations to meet... All of that + macro figures telling a slowing of the economy.... I couldn't help but to sell and stay on the sideline and it turns out well for me. But maybe I'm just lucky and shouldn't ever try that again and stay disciplined... Maybe. Also I may lose hard if I miss my comeback. :)

The ETFs are better. I am just giving you names like QQQ or SMH or MAGS. If you still want stocks, I am giving some names, you need to review in details which is good for you. MSFT, NVO, V (Visa), CPB, HMY, then CTAS,SAP,GOOGL and META. BTW: I just monitor many companies, but my investment is very low 10% or below, as I focus on trading. Of all these, I own NVO and HMY only in my accounts.

With the market going lower, and may go further down, the best path for you is to make a plan to invest the same $60k but on a recurring basis every week over the span of next 12 - 16 months … Just pick up some ETFs like $VOO $QQQM $VXUS $SCHD $SMH $GLD The results in around 2 years will amaze you

Good_Ride_2508

I have all kinds of permutations with investing,trading, gains and losses. Since Dec 2017, I made nice money, but greediness (wreckless options) killed one key account during 2021 - just in 3 months. I am recovering since then, but very slowly and carefully. Long story short: You need to understand **money lost with market is permanent loss**. Psychologically, you need to absorb it. Review what you did and stop bad practices, wreckless options and margins (this is immediate) Then, **make your own rules and follow it**. Understand you can save existing money and grow slowly, read books for both investing and trading. Use etfs and positive betting, like buying VOO or QQQ, never short, never go options. Simple buy low sell high (if trading) or buy low, dca lower and hold long (if investing like VOO, QQQ or SMH). **Never try to run 100 miles speed, 3 to 5 miles are enough to make progress**. It take many years to bring back the life to positive trend, growth and financially better life. Good Luck.

I mean for the most part, this month has indeed been about Iran and it has been the Main Topic, but I really don't think today has been for a change of pace outside the energy sector. Vol is fairly chill, the IGV is down 4% while the SMH is green, and most SPX sectors are in the green at least as of this post. It literally does look as if we took a break from Iran jitters and threw it back to earlier this year where anything Anthropic announced bombed the sector it affected.

95Daphne

Yeah if oil is removed as a factor today, this action does look similar to earlier where we were shooting everything that may be disrupted by AI, with one difference... Memory appears to be in deep trouble of potentially tipping over. (even though it appears that way, IGV is still lagging SMH)  Next time tech lags for a period, everyone should listen though. It's likely going to end in tears, I mean, it even did with Biden twice (the second time was minor though).

thighmaster69

Idk the specifics of a Roth, but in Canada the Roth equivalent is not supposed to be for day trading. The taxman will take you to court if you get a bagger in a TFSA and will tax the gains at the full income tax rate, double the normal unregistered 50% inclusion rate. Of course, either way you don't get to deduct all your losses. Every time I see someone posting huge gains or losses inside a TFSA, I SMH. If you lose, you fuck yourself out of tax deductions and future tax-free compounding gains. If you win, depending on how much you won and what province you live in, you have to pay up to an eyewatering 60% of your bagger in taxes to various branches of government. It's worse than gambling because gambling isn't taxable. FFS stop gambling in registered accounts! It's honestly scummy they even allow 0dtes when it's so obviously in violation of the no day trading rule. They let you get away with it because they know they'll get to take their cut when the time comes.

TSM is a great one. I own the stock. However, if you’re looking to diversify SMH holds TSM, it’s a bit more diversified and you can sock money and leave it there. 20% of my portfolio is in SMH for your reference.

Great analysis. Although, literally the world’s future depends on a decision on this deadline. He’s so erratic now my confidence is lower - definitely possible he goes ahead with his threat - he knows the whole world is watching for his decision. Worldwide catastrophe if Iran responds as they’ve said they’ll do. They’ve been grossly underestimated already. Insane we got to this point, where the world’s future hangs in the balance of one man’s decision. SMH.

Icy-Swing816

Use XHB instead of NAIL 3X or -3X to go long or short NAIL. Perform technical analysis on XHB and take the trade only if the trend or direction is clear. 3X can multiply or kill and need lot of patience and will not recover to original amounts as they decay a bit. For SOXL, use SOXX or SMH as base For NAIL, use XHB Similarly for other 3X, god speed!

Tbh, I don’t focus too much on individual stocks, my main priority for now is broad indexes. At the moment, only these three individual: MSFT, GOOG, and DOCU. The latter is the most interesting in my opinion, as I don’t see how AI is an enemy of DocuSign. If anything, it’s a booster for their product. As for the indexes, I’m selling puts now on the classic ones: VOO, VTI, VXUS, and I just started with SMH and XSD. As gold seems to be coming back to a more reasonable price, I’ll probably add IAU into the game.

That's what i've been thinking. I like the stock but I am going trough a phase in my life where i would enjoy a bit more stability and less of a "thrill" every time I open Degiro. I'm going to do 30 this year and eventough I only started trading a couple years ago i feel like the strategy that people usually call here the "VWCE and chill" appelas to me more and more has the days go by. I'll give SMH a go. Thank you my friend
