Stop. Most of those are just “holding” it for their clients. It’s not like they picked them through some god tier DD. I’m bullish on OPEN but I absolutely HATE when regards bring up everyday institutional ownership like fucking fidelity and Schwab and act like that’s some sort of “bull signal”. Most of these institutions make money regardless of price action because it’s client funds. SMH…🤦

SMH can't even sell CSPs cuz the market is so overvalues, it will blow past my Stoke down into the deepest depths of the earth.
Yes, it would if it happened. Not saying Carney can get it done, but it would be huge if done. SMH for Tilray Brands, but they do have more average daily volume than most.
By no means does any of this constitute recommendation, I see a lot of people investing in QQQ which is the NASDAQ 100. I see a lot of people who are investing in SMH, which is for semiconductors which goes right back into the AI side of things , XLK is pretty solid because that’s focused on technology within the S&Plike

VOO QQQ SOXX/SMH ETFs safer than any stock because they rebalance should one falter or another rise from no where.
I wouldn't choose a stock. Invest in an ETF instead. I recommend FBGRX or FBCG to all my younger family and friends. I have now owned it for 10 years. In those 10 years it's up almost 600%. A $10,000 investment is now valued at almost $60K. FBGRX and FBCG are basically the same. FBGRX is a mutual fund while FBCG is an ETF. An investor has to tolerate the volatility. Another suggestion is FSELX a mutual fund. It's a tech ETF. Over the last 10 years it has an annualized return of almost 30%. A $10k investment 10 years ago would be worth almost $124k. It has an annualized rate of almost 30% the last 10 years. Again, it's highly volatile. An ETF option if SMH or SOXX. Both tech funds. SMH has done slightly better the last 10 years. I own significant amounts in all of the funds I mentioned.

So my current situation is I have a pension and a 457 I’m putting into. With whatever money I can spare each check I started to invest in QQQM, SMH, FBGRX, and a little crypto. Just was curious about some individual stocks. It’s usually only like $200-300 a check that I can put into all those total

Gee thanks grandpa. Exempt something you don’t have the right to decide on either way. SMH.
As long as QQQ can hold up overall and push to $600ish to close out 2025, I think NVDA can hit $200, but we probably are seeing signs of the end of the dominance it has had since 2023. We might also be seeing that the Nasdaq can tolerate semi woes better finally, but it'll probably still be disruptive to an extent if SMH can't just tread water and begins to unwind.
My portfolio is 100% tech and I have no regrets. You can choose the NPC way of going all in VOO, or you can actually make more money just as safe with SMH, XLK, etc. Try individual stocks too, DYOR.
Threw $4k at 0DTE SPX puts today and sold for $6k. They’re worth $24k rn. SMH
Should've listened to most comments and sold yesterday SMH. Was up 63$..lost 230 today as stock went down.
Close friend of mine is that idiot. He blames everyone for not being able to buy a house but his own financial decisions. Had back to back kids, bought brand new cars for him and his wife even though the older cars were almost paid off. But no, it's the immigrants who are taking all the jobs and houses. SMH. He regularly refers to 🥭 as Daddy so go figure.
Idk cuz they're technically competitors, but NVDA had a lot of calls opened today. I'm thinking calls on the ETF, SMH and get them all
Annnnd NVDA red again while SMH continues to climb. Just fucking great.
SMH is good for me, do weeklies and always get 1-2 hundred bucks.
QQQ is still exactly where it was 6 weeks ago. ARKK hasn't budged since early July. SMH hasn't moved in a meaningful direction since the week after July 4th. This is called distribution.

I do a multi-factor portfolio with a mix of momentum, quality, tech and size/value. SPHQ, SPMO, XMMO, IDMO, IGV, SMH, AVMV, AVUV, AVDV, LVHI, even split between funds. 20% quality, 30% size/value, 20% tech, 30% momentum. 70% US 30% international. 60% large cap, 20% mid cap, 20% small cap.
Liking SMH surprised me bc I didn't think it would be great but ive found premium high. So I prefer weeklies but sometimes pick out to a month. I like being active so weeklies are nice. I make the calls mon-wed on a green day, greener the better. But not much time left if you make it Wed so I usually go into next week or extend it even more. All of this is hard! I make csps on red days. If I can catch the pump or dump at the right time before a reversal and get to 50% or more profit fast Ill buy to close. Ive made a couple hundred in an hour or two this way often. Feels good! I get what I hope Im conveying is to be flexible and develop a feel for whats happening and what you think will. I swear there's an intuitive aspect to this that's important (for me anyway). But everyone is different, strict rules might work better for you. A very good resource for getting started is to ask chatgpt some of your questions too. I usually pick .2 deltas but it depends what I think is going on. Ive been burned needing to roll a bit on shares I didn't wanna let go (i should've). So it's a painful lesson that there's no free lunch, even if it sometimes seems too easy. A lot of people like starting with cheaper stocks like sofi ford or slv. I started with ones i named bc I had them already. I have 1100 ibit, so I can make 11 contracts. For 10 bucks each its 110 a week. So that's compelling! Good luck!
Thank you for your suggestion. SMH looks to be good candidates and I have few hundred in holding too. I don’t want crazy income but should be better than SPAXX😂 Any particular criteria you use to pick exp date, price? What are the indicators you use to decide your trade? I’m completely new to options so want to learn but doesn’t mind holding SMH if lot is assigned in CSP. Please share your thoughts
My favorite ETF to wheel is SMH, but IWM is good too. IBIT, that one is very volatile. Amazon and Google are staples. I also do brb.b but mainly bc i have a lot and it's less volatile. SPY is a favorite, but I dont do that one (no strong feelings for or against, I just don't).
If China actually invades Taiwan, the stock is cooked. Otherwise, it is one of the most important centerpieces in the semiconductor industry. You're probably better off spreading your bets around with an ETF like SMH
I'm a bit older than you are, but still pretty aggressively investing. My portfolio looks like this: 40% QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust, Nasdaq-100) 20% XAR (SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF) 15% GLDM (SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust) 15% SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF) 10% SPHD (Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF) The GLDM and SPHD are hedges against a big downturn. The rest is pretty self explanatory. The reason I went QQQ vs VOO is that the potential upside outweighs the safety of VOO. This portfolio has returned over 19% for me this year so far. With 400k you could even do 25% QQQ and 15% VOO, but you're young and have 30 years to invest.
Thank you for your suggestions. I had owned SMH etf and RDDT, Palantir stocks. Sold all the stocks and booked all profits in SMH. So have extra funds from profit to learn and was thinking to start with low risk stocks which someone suggested like KO. Again thanks for your wise comment as retirement funds must not be used for gambling
In this market, over the last five years, yeah. No problem. SMH
Why didn’t I buy calls… zero chance it doesn’t go up. SMH
Imagine your sugar baby stole your identity to open a new credit card. SMH, I will not liable for any debts incurred. Get yourself together 🇺🇸 Murica
>Implied move is 6%. >Nvidia represents a 8% stake in SPY, 10% of QQQ, 22.5% of SMH. > And implied move on SPY is 1%. Even when Nvidia only represents a 8% stake in SPY, if NVDA dumps the whole market goes down with it. And the same if it goes up. So an interesting trade here can be buying two straddles in SPY ($6\*2) and selling one in NVDA ($12)
You’ve got a solid core with VTI + VXUS, but then you tacked on QQQM and SMH which kind of just pump up your tech exposure twice over. You’re already heavy US large cap with VTI, and QQQM is just pouring more into the same bucket. SMH makes it even more concentrated. Not necessarily bad if you want to tilt hard toward tech, but don’t kid yourself thinking this is diversified. Here’s a breakdown of your portfolio: https://www.insightfol.io/en/portfolios/report/9d7f389450/
Now you got some kid to raise. SMH
Itm SMH strangle for chip company earnings. Iv not so bad two weeks out, going a few dollars in the money for each side. It can go tits up, but heres to hoping. Oh and a couple naked NVDA calls
[https://www.reuters.com/technology/applied-materials-says-received-subpoena-us-commerce-department-2024-05-23/](https://www.reuters.com/technology/applied-materials-says-received-subpoena-us-commerce-department-2024-05-23/) [https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/beijing-e-town-sues-us-firm-applied-materials-alleging-trade-secrets-leak-2025-08-13/](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/beijing-e-town-sues-us-firm-applied-materials-alleging-trade-secrets-leak-2025-08-13/) I like the chip gear companies, but primarily invest in them via the SMH ETF. I believe in the industry rather than any specific company. A taxable account is much trickier. You have to decide whether to take a tax hit. Of course if you have other losses to offset, then it is easier. Generally speaking though, it is not a good idea to sell something, pay taxes, then buy back a peer. At the same idea, a competing idea is if you have something you simply don't want anymore, just sell it, pay the taxes, and move on with life. Another thing is, you don't have to sell all at once. You can sell some this year and more next. No simple answers for your situation.
Choice between those two, take LRCX. AMAT still has legal issue baggage. If this is an investment account, don't pay taxes by seeling one of these just to buy the other. Too similar. But, omg, 37%? Get SMH if this is a tax advantaged account.
Yea Bobby, just tell the fat people to eat less calories and exercise more, why didn’t healthcare providers think of that. SMH.
SMH e's the one doing the crimes
Why is SMH up 0.5% today but SOXL is down -0.2%?
Thoughts on best parallel companies to play for NVDA earnings? Or maybe just SMH?
NVDA... Sold all of my shares back then for a small profit and bought more Amazon and alphabet instead when their share prices went down from ATH in 2023. When I saw NVDA kept climbing from $150 to $600+ pre split, I jumped right back in to get some shares. I would have been $100k richer. SMH.. a great lesson learned; not mess around with NVDA.
I would suggest the wheel strategy on indexes, SPY or QQQ. You could possibly make more on a single stock, I prefer indexes to reduce risk. If you like NVDA/chip sector, I would wheel SMH.
The AI bubble is popping and none of these deals matter. It’s a worthless technology as it is now. LLMs hallucinate too much to be economically useful and most people have an irrational hate of them. Shorting SMH is the play.
My break even on my SMH calls expiring today is 295, please PUMP ⛽
bools and bers are dying and youre laughing. FUKIN LAUGHING !!!! SMH
Waiting for the market to correct a bit and I’m loading up on more QQQM, QGRO, and SMH for the long run
Yep. As brutal as the reality of it would be for many of us that weren't paying a hyper load amount of attention until the pandemic (I got more involved in 2019), the truth of the matter is that I'm not sure that there are too many 3 year in a row +20%'s by the S&P. I voted for Harris, and I don't think her getting in, or tariffs not being a thing would have changed things massively for the better at least for US stocks. Valuations aren't as friendly as they were back in 2017, and the most likely case is that the SMH distribution plays out on the downside regardless early this year. Long story short is that if you wanted the traditional big/low vol post-election year, there's a pretty darned good chance that the regional bank mess ruined the chance of it in 2023 and yanked forward those returns to 2024.
SMH 290c expiring tomorrow, please give rate cuts jpow
This is so idiotic, I can only SMH!
Puts on SMH are going to buy me a house 🏡 💰 🐻
Forget it. I’m going all in. Puts on tech. SMH, QQQ, INTC. I’d short NVDA too but options are too expensive. SHORT TECH NOW
Yeah, I'm sorry to say, but tech can drag the broader S&P around this much by itself lol. It's probably actually worse than it was in the last cycle, and really, we learned that last year in the summer. Most large cap techs recovered better than what you would have expected after it had its worst bear market since the financial crisis, but the SMH move is the main reason the NDX has managed to jump as much as 43% now from the 2021 record.
Short SMH. The AI bubble news is big. Plus it’s less volatile than QQQ and more likely to go down.
I invest in both FSELX and SMH as well just to see which does better. SMH beat FSELX this past decade, but FSELX performed much better in the years before that.
Chamath is about to launch another SPAC and you people are talking about valuations. SMH
Chips are at the core of AI. You got to ask yourself: Is AI going to continue growing or is it going to die on the vine? We might be in an AI bubble right now and see a big short term correction. Long term there is no way the AI Genie is going back in the bottle. Just my opinion. BTW: A similar alternative to FSELX is the ETF —>>. SMH. I own both as well as XLK. As mentioned it might be foolish to go all in on FSELX but it might be wise to have a healthy position.
Also SMH since everything needs semiconductors
