Your results highlight the core problem of this strategy: your losers were catastrophic and your winners did all the work. That’s basically the story of tech investing today. A structured ETF like SMH/SOXX gives exposure to the same winners (NVDA, AMD, AVGO…) without the massive downside risk of individual failures. For me the conclusion is: Reddit can help you discover stocks, but it’s a poor tool for building a portfolio. No offense 😁

Thoughts on MSFT puts or adjusting Bury’s thesis to $SMH ETF?
JFC, maybe edit your shit or not rely so much on AI. So if I invested in PLTR 141 vs ASTS 241 do you think I'd have done better? Maybe BBAI 66 should have been a lower allocation vs SMCI 15? WTF are you talking about? This reads like an AI bot had a stroke. But Congrats, I guess. Because Mag 7 =24.87% vs SMH =48.87%. Killing it.
My 1st Portfolio I’m 30 and new to investing, and I’ve been literally overwhelmed by all the options that are available for me to invest in. After a lot of research i have decided to stick to ETFs for the moment.. Please help me analyze my portfolio.. My monthly DCA budget would be 200 USD (300 usd exceptional case) . Portfolio X 1. VOO 2. VXUS 3. BND 4. GLDM 5. SMH I want to include QQQM and SCHD too but I’m not sure because of the overlap..
Why on earth are you being downvoted. SMH
Then what you doing here commenting on my post? * Sigh * SMH, You really going to AUTOMATICALLY Judge me from my username, Alright let it be so, Judge & Ye' too shall be judged..... , You have no clue who I am, And you're wasting your time tossing hate comments at me for replying to somebody else's comment that has absolutely nothing to do with you, The fact that it offended so many of you, Is actually quite pathetic actually in itself, Coming from a guy whose username is NuculearBroLiferator , I don't think you typically make any sense what so ever calling my username out, So Maybe you go touch some grass.... , Instead of jerking off to uranium and Nuculear Fusion books all day. * sigh * SMH.... Y'all wanna talk stupid that's fine with me i dont care. Wunna be mad cuz I can type and read and respond 30,700x faster than you all so Y'all cringe at my long comments? Fuck ill make it even longer to make you cringe even more. I shouldn't waste my life and time and energy even responding to you but I actually have all the time in the fucking world too. You know nothing about me or who you're even talking too. The fact you say my username checks out and for me to go and do something for one is extremely rude, for two pathetic, and three, The fact you did that shows that you're only just taking your own life problems out onto me and most likely other strangers as well due to your own unsuccessful life. So go ahead and skim through these English words none of you know how to read, TLDR IT. AND BITCH some more like a 16 year old on her period. Anyways, Im going back to my own life now. And what I do with my life. Aha.. that has no fucking business with you of what I do or not. Ill stay the fuck inside all i want too mother fucker. And still get more Pussy than you. You wanna play Judge Judy play judge Judy but I aint playing nobody but myself kid. So get wrecked by my fucking ADD, OCD, ADHD, AND Tourettes fucking combined. Im doing legit like 7 things at once right now to your Jerking off to Nuclear fusion.
Me too. I had a few hundred shares and made a couple thousand bucks. Thought I was Warren Buffett. SMH....
Heres my stock port: SPY (123), QQQ (44), CIBR (131), SMH (31), VTV (54), SCHB (2,320), GOOGL (61) $230,770.
People trying to pump SNSE...SMH... Yes low float...remember that 1 for 20 back in June? They are authorized 250,000,000 shares which got chopped down to 12,500,000 2 form 144 this week on sales of shares. Small amounts but they still have dilution power...about 8x current outstanding share count. Bet they unload tomorrow. Those would be some heavy bags.
Just for the hell of it, I looked at SMH on Apple's stock app and the feed is dull of laudatory press releases every day.
SMX? More like SMH amirite
In a NATO/Russia WW3 scenario I'll be more concerned about how quickly my flesh melts off my bones from radiation poisoning, than how my SMH position is faring.

Nice. Congratulations. I missed the AVGO train (own a few shares, but nothing significant) but own it indirectly via SMH.
SMH etf (semiconductors), INTC (Intel), SHLD (defense sector etf), SCHG - all in my brokerage. FXAIX - retirement Good amount in crypto (BTC, ETH, XRP)
It's spelled scents...SMH!
I would add to this: ETFs. LEAPS Call prices are generally reasonable, even on something like **SMH** (semiconductors, IV 38%) or **XBI** (biotech, IV 32%). At 380DTE and 90-delta you're getting 2.5:1 and 3.6:1 ratios respectively.
Up a few percent. I was in SMH and VITAX for the majority. I divested in October and rough math says I'm still ahead. Didn't mean to time the NVDA pull back but my position is higher than if I didn't. I'm still not thinking the market is going to rip and tear on AI right now. With the new IPOs in the works and the recent revelations from various sources, it feels to me like there isn't a high enough ceiling to the Mag7.
VOO, VTI, VXUS, QQQ, SMH, and VT all at the same time.
What’s their tax rates? Bernie wants you to give all your money to the government so they can pay your bills for you. Sounds great if you’re already poor. Uneducated idiots who never read Utopia. SMH

Since you are young, you can spread the cash into VOO,QQQ and SMH equal parts and every month DCA in the same ratio.
True,Crypto is pure gambling. OP must understand and go for Index ETFs like VOO, QQQ, SMH or combination of these etfs.
Thanks for the reply! I don’t mind putting some thought into my investments, like rebalancing once in a while. I’m okay with a little extra effort to hopefully get more growth since I won’t be able to invest much until I finish my internship and education and have a more stable career, but I don’t want to be constantly watching the news or making frequent changes. I was thinking of using VTI + VXUS as my simple core and then keeping small tilts like SMH/SPMO/AVUV to lean a bit more into growth while still mostly “set it and forget it.” Does that seem reasonable long term?

What do you mean by Silver being the pans and shovels of AI? If you meant Silicon, then SMH has that since some semiconductor companies have to process silicon too. Silver's chart looking crazy though.
The easiest to go is choose ETFs, VOO, QQQ, SMH and some bonds (TLT side), may be 25% each. I do not prefer crypto side, ignoring it.
Imagine not being a stegosaurus fan. SMH.
Maybe SMH, QQQ? but I don't really know either
The fact that this is a Roth IRA kinda screwed me last week because I wanted to buy BBWI calls, which I did on my small margin account, but couldn’t on here bc the UNHG shares hasn’t settled, and Chase doesn’t let you day trade on cash accounts or you get a strike, and I missed out on what would have been a 100% gain as the stock went up 20%+ since then Got a little bit of gain in my margin meme account but I don’t all in with that account. SMH Would be sitting at like $6000 if I’d just said “f it” and taken the strike, but I thought dumbly “I’ll just wait one day to buy them, and of course it went up 15% before I could buy, so too late” https://preview.redd.it/4vieuqb1d94g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7103838489d6ed28a27479cd7b80c54ecc95a644
Buy SMH, SOXX, or FSELX instead
Suggestion: VONG (core growth): 45%, CIBR (cybersecurity): 20%, SMH (semiconductors): 20%, SHLD or ITA (defense tech): 15% Rundown of each ETF VONG (Vanguard Growth ETF): Tracks U.S. large-cap growth stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, etc.) Broad exposure, high quality, diversified, long-term compounding. Role: Core growth anchor. CIBR (First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF): Focused on cybersecurity companies (CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Okta, etc.) Sector-specific but with secular growth tailwinds (cybersecurity demand only rising). Role: Thematic growth satellite with higher risk/reward. SHLD (Global X Defense Tech ETF) Exposure to defense & aerospace technology (Lockheed Martin, Northrop, Raytheon, etc.). Stronger in stable defense spending + geopolitical tailwinds. Role: Defensive growth/income tilt, helps reduce volatility.
Seriously just buy SMH and GOOG and then sleep well at night
I don’t market time. I buy $SMH every two weeks like clockwork at $1440 per buy.
Better risk reward is SOXX or SMH as it will rebalance based on what’s best performing without exposure to single stock collapse. No company too big to fail. Regardless what its fanboys claim
My SMH is up 2.52% just today alone. That ETF is full of speculative stocks, I would not call this a “sector rotation”
Everything getting rugged but TSLA holding strong SMH
|ETF Ticker|Name|10-Year Annualized Return|Notes| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |SPY or VOO|SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust / Vanguard S&P 500 ETF|\~12.1%|Tracks the S&P 500; provides broad U.S. large-cap exposure with low fees.| |QQQ|Invesco QQQ Trust|\~20.3%|Nasdaq-100 focused; heavy in tech giants like Apple and Microsoft.| |VUG|Vanguard Growth ETF|\~18%|Targets large-cap growth stocks; balanced for long-term appreciation.| |VGT|Vanguard Information Technology ETF|\~23.4%|Tech sector focus; includes leaders like Nvidia and Broadcom.| |SMH|VanEck Semiconductor ETF|\~28-31%|Semiconductor industry; driven by AI and chip demand (varies slightly by source).| |XLK|Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund|\~20-22%|U.S. tech leaders; consistent outperformance vs. broader market.| As long as your return is over 12% yearly, your money will double in 6 years. So 300k becomes 600k in 6 years, 1.2M in 12 years, 2.4M in 18 years, 4.8M in 24 years. Obviously these don't get these returns every year, but their long term averages are above 12%. In 25 years, you should be able to turn 300K into 2M, which should be enough to retire on.
OKie Dokie Kiddo ——> how about more than just buy cat? Buy what? The underlying? SMH—— 600 calls due Dec 12th? What?
In case you didn't read, these are November 2026 call. Almost 2027 leaps. SMH
Hugely wasn't even on the ticker board... SMH 😂
I remember reading about Covid’s impact on the heart, looking up companies with matching treatment options, and thinking Eli Lilly at $300~ was too rich for my blood. SMH. Now they’re sideways for too long at 3x that? Sheeeesh.
50% RSP - America's most established 500 companies, actually diversified. 35% SMH - computers and electronics have been the economic engine for decades and will continue to be, whether LLMs continue to grow or get replaced by something "more intelligent", market share may change but the need for chips won't 15% VYMI - established international companies Forget bonds. Bonds move in the same direction as stocks just more slowly. They aren't a hedge any more.
SMH isn’t leveraged. SOXL is leveraged. Underlying is SOXX. Could be NVIDIA although might be other issues such as lack of economic data or issues with data that was released. Impossible to know what moves markets and why I don’t get hung up on morning noise unless I think I can profit from it.
I didn't know it couldn't be leveraged. Thats wild, but it makes sense. It basically already is. We'll see how this all shakes out in a few years. SOXX, SMH, and SOXQ are down today anyway. Likely Nvidias fault lol
There’s a reason SMH can’t get leveraged and I believe because of the heavier waiting of a single stock. SOXX safest I’ve found and fact it has NVIDIA shouldn’t be an issue as it will rebalance when the time comes although day NVIDIA drops likely because the bubble popped. Buying SOXX then at bottom later on should be extremely profitable
SMH is the one they're all copying, and it's been top-heavy with NVDA since what feels like forever. You're right, SOXX is a bit more balanced. I won't touch any of them as long as they hold NVDA, period, LOL. I'm sick of seeing it shoved into every ETF that might have some adjacent relevance. 💀
SOXX, SMH, SMHX, and SOXQ are mostly top-heavy with Nvidia. I wouldn't call that following the industry. They're trending with Nvidia headlines, and nothing else props the ETFs up most of the time.
Rather buy SOXX or SMH and avoid the single stock nonsense therefore just trend with the overall industry. Has worked for me.
Honestly nvda and AMD should be competitive not downgraded SMH 😂
Google news might tank the SMH and SOXX index
So when is GOOG getting added to SMH lmao
Stop obsessing over “why” and just accept its happening: NVDA and SMH are going to sell off hard into year-end as people lock in profits in the face of all this negative sentiment.
META using GOOG TPUs is super bearish for NVDA and SMH
I swung SMH am I cooked?
Why I do SMH, some semi always pumping while another is dumping.

Buffet basically laid out the cheat code: don't bet against America. But many smart people especially on Reddit still like to bet on China or others. Because they are so "undervalued". SMH.
Ok 🤡 who lost over 700k SMH……
You could’ve sold and put the money into VOO getting 8% to 10% additional per year on average and you would’ve been set for life SMH…….
Exactly! Lost on both sides SMH
What the fuck is the matter with you??? He's talking about One Hundred and Twelve BILLION dollars in compensation. NO ONE or even group of employees is worth that much even over 7 years, considering they are also getting regular paycheques. SMH They wasted 112B in likely share based bonuses IMO.
I think 7500-8000 is just way, WAY too overly optimistic here personally. The Nasdaq did a good job of recovering from the yen mess last year, but there was a hidden issue that dates to before the 2024 general that was likely always going to come back around and bite down hard in early 2025. And that issue was the SMH/SOXX was lagging the Nasdaq hard. I think in Kamala world, or at the very least no tariff world, the S&P reaches 6300 by mid-Feb and then starts struggling badly for a stretch with tech stocks leading the way lower. The early April crash doesn't occur, but we probably reach 5500 anyway and then slowly grind our way back up to 6600ish. But there was never any way we'd have threepeated on SPX +20% years IMHO. It just was never in the cards.
You really have no idea what you are talking about do you? SMH. Government health insurance is one of the best thing they offer. Ask any government workers and they most likely beat your union insurance rate. It’s not he has his and I want it. It’s more like some has it and I want all to have it because I’m a not a stupid asshole.
These little short squeeze people. SMH.
Damn $ASST is wiping me out. Guess I’m a community member now 😔 Would have been a great entry point now SMH
Couple of final flush and then we V, cut your looser and go all in with margins, META and SMH will be my plays, there is more pain incoming, we need put to call ratio > 1.1 for next bear hunting season to be on.
He thinks he’s better than us. SMH
Anyone holding SMH puts?
If the market wasn’t spooked $RVYL would be at a dollar right now SMH Big things ahead for this company
A small pullback is what just happened? SMH
should I close SMH 300/380 december 18th strangle at a slight loss? OR HODL?
I was looking at this and SOXX. What makes you lean toward SMH?
SMH strangle 300/380. December 18th. Bad trade?
IV will still be high than usually on SMH due to nvidia earnings and recent volatility but I get your point
Don't trade NVDA directly, trade SMH or something and use verticals. ERs are almost always IV crush anyway
20% of my port on QQQ and SMH calls.
The end of one of the longest bull runs in history and the rhetoric is this is the crash to end all crashes. SMH. Trade what you see. Don’t speculate.
