FUCK I closed all 25 @ SMH 340P 12/19 for measly 3K profit. FML. I should have at least held 5 of them
I COMPLETELY AGREE The OP is 18. Tech will outperform VHT by miles. At 18, he needs to be aggressive. Even VOO has outperformed VHT by 5% the last 10 years. In the last 10 years SMH has outperformed VHT 30.6% vs 9.7%. Tech will remain dominant for the next 20 years or more.
If I was starting again at 18. I wouldn't invest in VXUS. Until this year VOO has outperformed VXUS. Even the last 6 months VOO has outperformed VSUX. I would suggest investing that $100 monthly in Tech funds like SMH or SOXX. Tech has been dominating since the 1990s. I don't see that changing over the next 20 years.
Im mainly SMH and some QQQI while reinvesting dividends. I think the AI narrative will continue into 2026 and remain bullish on technology and semiconductor focused stocks.
Continue to buy VGT / SMH / ASTS / RKLB
I plan on sticking with SMH. There will be strong demand for chips for AI data centers in 2026 so it should be another bullish year for semiconductors and the technology sector. If theres a crash, I'll more than likely sell it when its already high and buy back when its low.
Whatever the truth about the delay I fear the shorts are helping China by creating FUD and slowing American investments. Of course one has to believe in the AI revolution. The American nonbelievers will suffer nonetheless. SMH
Time to gut this greedy fat pig. Up more than SMH? Trying to be the next top NVDA ? It’s over, we need a $100 drop before it gets interesting
Not past five years where tech has overtaken the S&P 500 and one can’t always look to far back. SOXX is perfect example. Now outperformed by SMH because of the heavier weighting towards NVIDIA who’s has outperformed past several years yet not much happening historically.
SMH puts all your etfs to shame by far in every duration.
What about $SMH or $SOXX? Those have way more gains but definitely volatile.
I caved in and sold my shares today. I would have held a bit longer had I not averaged up, but I'm not going to hold underwater bags through a full correction. If shit starts going back up, I can always hop back into SMH.
Why the moderators always removing my post on here. SMH they don’t want to hear the truth
Yeah I'm out of NVDA, this is getting too spicy Will get back into SOXL or SMH to avoid a wash sale once shit calms down
PFSA the pumpers have been shaken out and its now back at 0.15. Many couldn’t stomach holding it through the weekend or used their followers (looking at you Peter penny SMH) Catalyst this weekend and if the clinical update is impressive enough then this will start moving rapidly northwards. 16 months cash runway and no reverse split on the table. This is my biggest holding right now and I’m hoping for another INTS here
MM’s taking everyone’s money again who doesn’t hold. I just keep buying the dips and my portfolio is up 65% YTD. SMH at the paper hands.
2026 strategy: all in on tech/AI + hedge with crypto. I’m in my growth phase, have a longer timeline but behind on investments so I’m intentionally not diversifying yet. 401k and taxable brokerage will be equal priority and I plan to max out backdoor roth IRA ultimately contributing 30% of gross income including employer match. 401k will be all S&P. Taxable & Roth IRA will be QQQM (45%), SMH & SMHX (40%), NLR/URA (5%), BTC/ETH/XRP (10%). I’m preparing myself for a volatile year.
I think it might be ok, and most likely they don't know about these single stock leveraged products because they are very new overall. But if they decide to go after you in a court of law, I'm sure they will find some way to say they are equivalent. The safe thing is to use something like SMH, as an example for semis.
There are 2x or 3x versions of your company stock if it's something like NVDA or AVGO. I'm not 100% sure if these are off limits, read your company policy carefully. Otherwise you can hedge with general indices. Like SMH or SOXL can be a hedge against these. They tend to move in tandem. Or you can find other products where your company is a large holding.
Atm offering and reverse split? Why on earth is this ticker suddenly being pumped so hard SMH
I'd say either SMH or FBTC. Both can be volatile but have large gains over time.
Calling top on semis, look at $SMH. I see double tops. Looking for $AMD drop to target gap fill around 170. If AMD closes above 225 resistance zone, am out. https://preview.redd.it/vv48fachwn6g1.jpeg?width=1190&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=329ed481f198145e184bedebdc1756e106db9170
Should I exit out of my 12/19 SMH puts?
Hast effective The AI sector at all go look at SOXX and SMH
Ive got hundreds of shares of AMZN and its been good to me, but I'm getting close to dumping them for some SMH or VGT, tired of Bezos dragging his feet in the mud
AI isn’t dead. It’s priced for perfection. Due for a shake up where profit taking will create panic selling as buyers decrease due to being priced for perfection. This good. Market doesn’t make profits by just going up. It makes its most profits by exiting then waiting for capitulation to drain retailers then buy the bottom. This also shakes out the weak startups that had a brilliant idea but lacked the capital or management that will now get purchased by established players. Why I’m riding this bull through calculated swing trades which includes making the same trades as it bottoms because timing the bottom is futile. SOXX, SMH and TQQQ how I’m rolling. Let leverage be my friend without letting it break me. AI is the future but way too many players and way too much volatility due to being over priced for perfection. Let the ETF rules rebalance as needed to reduce the losers and buy more winners. For me considerably safer than placing all eggs on NVIDIA Broadcom and AMD including rest of mag 7. This isn’t about if AI survives but fact we need to shuffle the deck and many will take profits during that process, many will hold until then end and rest will at some point throw in the towel and that’s capitulation buying trigger
Is that trust me bro regarded DD from the back of your Wendy's napkin? CTB and FTD... recent shorting activity SMH. Bears are digging deeper but can't. Lows are high as float is being locked.
I'm not sure you can call it "value" but I'm bullish on MU. Has alot of market cap growth in front of it to pull towards that T dollar market cap. But it's probably still smarter to just buy SMH
If we are talking just pure company stocks and not ETFs or Funds I have an account for each kid that I DCA $25 per week into each. Evenly split 33% each NVDA, AVGO, MU. I know I could just buy SMH but I prefer the higher exposure to MU and AVGO.
A bunch of plumbers and milkmen flew a ship to the moon 60 years ago and AI hasn’t even built a paper plane with its bare droid hands yet. SMH.
If you don't mind massive selling on the stock and a chance of more. I'd wait it out... SMH, SLK, SPY, and QQQ, getting hammered. One analyst calls it the 'Silent distribution' as there hasn't been rotating into your normal safe havens. Cash is king right now.
SMH has been amazing. I think it will continue to be for a while
Call me crazy but I'm 50% VGT 10% SMH 15% FTEC 10% INTL 5% GLD
If you achieve only a .25% gain for every day in the stock market. The Yearly return would be 108%. Still wonder why I shoot for for 5% days.... SMH
my bad i thought the person replied SMH as in smack my head, it just clicked it is another semi etf
You again huh. SMH...what have you not learned my child?
I have SMH, more diversification among semis than holding individual stocks. Has done well.
I have owned FSELX for about 10 years and SOXX about 6. Both have done extremely well. I bought SMH 2 or 3 years ago. I now own all three.
I bought some CRISPR shares this week cause there was news of them saving a baby and whatnot. Sigh…we all know it’s gonna take like 100 years tho and this money is so much better going into something like SMH. Yes. Shaking my head. That I didn’t buy this ETF sooner.
Another day making money, another day I could have just Buy and Hold SMH and made more.
I will continue to buy every dip in the stocks I own and I’ll continue to win. The people who are selling are idiots and have no clue what they are doing and they’ll be buying it all back at higher prices in a couple of days. SMH.
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 😁
Elon going on another one of his white supremacist & anti EU rant just as TSLA was gaining ground. SMH
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.
2.5 years and still hasn't learned to form paragraphs. SMH
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

683 ain’t happening it seems 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
