SOXX rises as TSMC falls, American LMAO
How high can SOXX go? This shit feels like bubble
SOXX up 6.56% YTD and you talking about AI being out of favor. The tech companies out of favor are mismanaged laggards, never my beautiful Google.
Oh you want to be holding assets 100%. Personally I've tried to diversify my accounts to offset major downside risks, while raking in gains from precious metals. I'm holding VEU, IAU/GLD, GLTR, mining companies, S&P index funds, SCHD, defense etfs (including foreign ones like KDEF and EUAD), BRKB, SOXX, and large cap growth mutual funds.
I think the question is if SOXX or SMH is worth buying when you can just buy ONDS or SNDK which give higher growth potential & tight range stop losses
There is an unbelievable bubble in semi stocks. SOXX is gonna lose at least 40% sometime but I am not sure when
Nope That was a hard QQQ rejection right where it needed to reject for tech bears to VERY much have the ball here. You're likely to have much better dip buy prices at SOXX -20% from here.
No, my man. One can invest and still be put off by the show. I have positions in VUG, SMH, and SOXX, so nah, I didn't miss anything.
I have a large long-term position in SOXX because I believe semiconductors are the future and offer strong growth potential, especially with AI and robotics. I also hold a large position in ASML due to its monopoly. I prefer SOXX over SMH because it is less reliant on a single stock. The small historical return difference is largely driven by Nvidia, which I believe is significantly overvalued. If Nvidia had been flat, SOXX would have clearly outperformed. This is just my opinion do your own research. My portfolio is roughly 50% SOXX, 15% ASML, with the remainder in smaller positions and large-cap tech. Would love output. ☺️😁
I’ll make a doomer prediction this year cause why not. SOXX will fall 20% from an ATH in 2026
I’m 95% RKLB and 5% AS and TitS. Not looking to add to my ASTS position but I got enough to enjoy the run up. 2026 is going to be a big year for space. Every other post on Reddit is about RKLB or ASTS, I’m seeing UFO ETF mentioned now a lot more in subs, SpaceX IPO coming, talk about data centers in space, NASA and China looking to get back to the moon, Trump is pro space, Tranche 3, Golden Dome, the list goes on. I’m willing to bet UFO outperforms SOXX this year.
SMH is more or less just a more top heavy version of SOXX
I really like VGT. The weighting/holdings inside that fund appeal to me. Vanguard is pretty good at pickin'em, and manages this fund with a super-low expense ratio. I would (and do) hold VGT over either SOXX or SMH. But, you do you
SMH is better than SOXX for semiconductors
I like SOXQ better than SOXX. SOXQ has performed better, has a higher dividend yield, and has a lowest fee of any semiconductor ETF. SMH performs even better for semiconductors, but it has way more Nvidia concentration. Given I already have plenty of Nvidia in my portfolio, I passed on this one. I don’t see a perfect match for SKYY, but I can tell you about 77% of the holdings are in FTEC and VGT which are both very popular. I also had a negative experience First Trust ETFs twice now, nothing nefarious but lousy fund management, so I avoid them now.
Why don't you just buy SOXX? Or do you want to buy options?
they define it as at least 3 of these occurring within 90 days - NVDA down 50% from ATH, SOXX down 40% from ATH, OpenAI or Anthropic declaring bankruptcy, OpenAI acquired, H100 rentals below $1.00/hr for 5 consecutive days, and/or one supplier (TSM/ASML/AVGO/ANET/SMCI) down 50% from ATH
I don't think your edit is "very generous" because it assumes an overall 25% loss on your other 4 investments. Being very generous should be it going up or at least staying flat. If you're going to assume that the ETFs like SOXX or individual stocks like Meta are nearly at 21%, then you also need to assume that your other 4 investments are going positive too.
Well said and he is also not understanding that the SPY , SOXL, SMH , SOXX and VOO are tied at the hip to a bubble like valuation fpra technology losing the race. Which means the entire market is ripe for proft taking It’s not a question of if a sell-off hits—only when. Markets run on reflex, not resilience. When the cycle breaks, it won’t drift—it’ll snap in a precision-triggered chain reaction. One macro headline. One earnings miss. One weak Treasury auction. Liquidity evaporates. The illusion of stability folds into reflexive panic. Challenge disinflation or liquidity and HFTs flip from passive scalping to forced liquidation. Volume spikes. VWAPs shear. Stops become bait. Velocity rises and carnage follows. Algos hit breakers before humans log in. Options desks hedge gamma and pour fuel on it. Margin clerks liquidate. Mega-caps trade like biotech IPOs. Breadth collapses. Defensives fail. VIX rockets. CNBC calls “market historians.” This isn’t drama—it’s plumbing. The system is efficient, not merciful. When flow turns, the escape hatch becomes the exhaust pipe.
(Assuming you mean leveraged etfs, not stocks) Biggest disadvantages are **volatility decay** and leveraged ETF’s will **rebalance daily**. So compounding growth is dulled and losses are magnified. SOXX vs SOXL is a good reference. The leveraged fund has done worse despite semiconductors doing so well. It’s because your winning stocks are being sold daily to buy up the losers so they match their parent etf. Volatility decay means you also need a higher return to break even due to red days being more impactful. A normal fund that rises 10%, would need a 9% drop to to level out their fund value ($100 + 10% =$110, - 9% =$100.10) 2x Leveraged would breakeven from only a 8.25% decline. ($100 + 20% =$120, - 16.5% =$100.20) So you could be losing value, even during a bull run, bc your breakeven is higher.
Think about sector based ETFs, which can be quite lively from a growth standpoint. Losses from any one company in the fund are generally canibalized by the others, so you'll be moving upwards with the sector even if headline firms take a hit. I'm in tech and am convinced that the picks and shovels plays on the AI boom are no bubble in the long run even if there's some sort of sideways dip. The hyperscalers/trainers are risky investments in a fast moving environment with a lot of the best firms not having made an IPO and the threat of Chinese open source models beating them anyway. Supporting this effort is the semiconductor industry, which has hit an incredible level of sophistication and profitability. IMO, the best way in is with one of the ETFs that track the old PHLX Philadelphia Semiconductor index: SOXX, SOXQ (cheap expense ratio), or SMH. Start researching semiconductor fabrication and things like the 2nm process or ASML products. Then when the market dips, you have faith in the 10 year trajectory of the industry and don't hit the sell button. If the data centers flounder for any reason, the Edge chip market will likely thrive (Apple, Qualcom, ARM, etc.). Otherwise, all those VOO type indexes are great. I've got FIDU in my back pocket as something safe that could overperform too. I like FTEC as an alternative to QQQ for whatever reason.
It's not a stock. I would consider FSELX, SMH or SOXX
No, it's not. It's been outperforming SOXX recently because heavily weighted towards NVDIA and what makes it riskier long-term as no company too big to fail.
Some tickets I’d be considering some allocations into that aren’t the S&P, Nasdaq, or VXUS are SOXX, VGT, AVDV, and AVUV. Allocations, not the entire amount.
Main point: hedge the private AI bet with sector ETF puts (SMH/SOXX or QQQ), laddered and rolled before theta bites, not single-name like NVDA. What’s worked for me: build a proxy (SMH or a QQQ/SMH mix), size the hedge at 30–60% of exposure to allow for basis risk, and buy 3–4 month 25‑delta puts. Ladder entries monthly so you’re not timing one IV print. Roll at \~45–60 DTE or when the put hits \~0.40–0.50 delta. On a quick drawdown, take profits on a portion and reset lower. To cut carry, make it a put spread (buy \~10–15% OTM, sell a wing \~10% lower), or run a diagonal: long 6–9 month put, finance with small monthly 10–15 delta shorts; just cap size so a crash doesn’t steamroll the short leg. NVDA hedges can whipsaw you; SMH/QQQ are cleaner. For admin on private equity I’ve used Carta and Pulley; Cake Equity has been the simplest for tracking grants and vesting. Main point: use SMH/QQQ puts in a staggered, rules-based roll, not NVDA, and keep it partial to manage basis risk.
SOXX because everything electronic runs on chips and so does AI plus it's a major player in defense and USA starting to invest heavily in bringing production back home. I'm talking long-term because I'm also expecting a major pullback in AI then recovery and why prefer to hold an ETF vs betting on who survives and prospers. There's always the option to exit during a pullback and reinvest near bottom, too.
Puts on SOXL, calls on SOXX.
Wake me up when SOXX hits $250. This is nothing.
For all the AI selling SOXX is barely touched
1 year is HYSA. If you want to bet it all on black, I'd go with SOXX, QTUM, or RGTI.
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.
ORCL and its bonds are the canaries in the coal mine. Both the equity and the bond markets have lost faith in Oracle. Why is this relevant to semis? https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1plnhkr/oracle_runs_into_more_trouble_as_bonds_looks_like/ The semis rallied hard over the past few months because of the $1.4T in OpenAI deals, with Stargate being the centerpiece and Oracle being the big tent pole. SoftBank dumped its entire stake in NVIDIA to raise cash for Stargate. There is literally not enough cash to kick off Stargate at the scale it had hoped for, and the market has been calling their bluff. As long as ORCL and its bonds aren’t working, the semis are vulnerable to a pullback to levels just prior to Oracle’s Sept announcement with OpenAI. Prob $240-245 for SOXX
Keep it simple. QQQ and SOXX and stop sweating the small stuff. Leveraged options of these if actively traded how I roll.
I mean, I’d say personally they’re a pretty strong contender, they just also got dragged down cause of ORCL and SOXX getting dunked on. If you got the cash, I’d say you could probably buy in at 30-40% reserves and start selling calls again. You could also use this lot as a short term >1y liquidity pool if it does appreciate.
Lol this didn’t hit the way you think it did. Semi ETFs (SOXX) are down 5% from new all time high it let’s see … on Wednesday. Up 3.5% MoM, up 35% in the last 6 months and up 38% YTD. Sorry for your loss. Betting against a bull market is tough.
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.
What about $SMH or $SOXX? Those have way more gains but definitely volatile.
ORCL got contracts with open from 27 pushed to 28, I forget which one had an earnings earlier this week but they beat heavy only to miss on revenue, also SOXX is down hard which drags on the sector as a whole.
my main holding is SOXX so i cant complain. Also really love MU
Hast effective The AI sector at all go look at SOXX and SMH
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
SOXX <- the semi etf just made ATH today. I dont think it is an AI off trade, just this line of business (neo cloud)
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.
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 😁
ACLS is the cheapest stock in the SOXX. PE is 19. Until just recently it has been left out of the semi rally. Criminally undervalued.
ACLS is beginning a strong rally. PE of 19. Cheapest stock in the SOXX.
ACLS still rallying. Must be the cheapest play in the SOXX and its comps are going to improve over the next 6 months.
The SOXX semiconductor index, its underlying index. You can just browse the list of the SOXL holdings to find out a more detailed answer.
SOXX about to print
VGT doesn't own enough MRVL to make a difference in it's price (maybe .06% up). But I'm surprised to see that XLK doesn't have any in its index. SOXX should rise about 0.6% on MRVL alone.
Buy SMH, SOXX, or FSELX instead
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
Considering that the setup for this year was kind of trash, the SPX did perfectly fine in DXY terms unless this is 2018 and it gives up all its gains in December. What happened in April should NOT have occurred to be clear...but the way the SOXX was trading after the July-August 2024 move doomed US stocks and that initial Nasdaq correction before the tariff mini-crash was undodgeable. It was happening without the tariff chicken game and would have happened even if Kamala was elected. The summer 2024 mini move turned out to just be foreshadowing.
Yes, SOXX is a solid sector. I'm still willing to add a little more to my portfolio each year, even though it's cost me before haha.
SOXX no longer in a correction.
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 isn’t top heavy with NVIDIA and all will rebalance if any of their actual top holdings underperform. That’s my point. SMHX has low liquidity although I like the idea of fabless and perhaps down the road. Not familiar with SOXQ but guessing also low liquidity. SOXX my favorite because of liquidity and not owning NVIDIA as its top. Details matter. NVIDIA isn’t the cat’s meow when I trade and why I trade SOXX. Way too much retail euphoria makes that stock more speculative than Broadcom for example
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.
Google news might tank the SMH and SOXX index
Never seen Nvidia red while SOXX +2.5% Unfuckingbelivable
It most certainly affects stocks. Who's going to buy the products and services from companies if everyone is unemployed and has no money? AI is short term bullish. I'm heavily invested in SOXX, QQQ, AMD, NVDA, etc. like everyone else here. I make money when AI drives the market up, but I also think long term if AI reaches a point where it can replace most jobs, then it could be devastating for the stock market. Consumers with no job have no money to buy stuff, which means companies have no customers and earnings go down.
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.
SOXX -2% on Nvidia beat remarkable
I was looking at this and SOXX. What makes you lean toward SMH?
Semis are going to run tomorrow. Go SOXX. go AMAT.
SOXL: 3 \* SOXX whatever this guy is doing: 3 \* SOXX \* -1 \* -1
Someone sold a ton of puts on SOXX today. I've never seen a P/C ratio even close to that high. 54 is insane lol.
QQQ and SOXX and that’s it. Tech has been the future since the 80s and semiconductors in every piece of electronics. Could add VOO but that’s dragged down by everything not mag7. I’m good with just those two and DCA as capital flows in although if market dropping then hold off for apparently bottom then buy
I’m afraid the semi move up has set up US large caps poorly in general if you were to get a sustained move down by the SOXX in non-crash form, yes. Risk on ex-tech is in danger too even with a mild recession and we saw that visualized on Thursday last week. The Nasdaq has most likely stopped too soon for true disaster to play out though. We’re set up well for Trump to suddenly flip completely on cost of living issues and support hikes if he wants it lmaooo because I’m not sure that there’s anything that is going to stop tech dragging markets lower for a while, but I think this party would end around the 2021 highs again.
One year out exp date Sell in greed (fear&greed index) Companies in etf SOXX Wgmi/bkch QTUM REMX
Looking back on this post. You were 100% right. Wtf was I thinking. After this post I proceeded to become obsessed with investing so I researched alot. Ended up doing like 50% VEQT, 5% BTCC, 15% SOXX, 2-3 individual blue chip stocks + a Aerospace/Defence ETF. I also set up auto deposits from my girlfriend's account to DCA, I rebalanced only once (after KTOS and PLTR blew up which were major holds in the Aerospace/Defence ETF). Also moved all that in a RRSP and I guess these will become my girlfriend's retirement funds Thank you in particular for not being mean with your comment. Constructive criticism always helps.
How that work out for AMC and GME HODL mentality? I’m monitoring recent support levels. From past four weeks. Drops below that I’m out. See you on the bounce back. Burry might be driving this sentiment but his thoughts on depreciation aren’t wrong. Cut those in half and restated financials no longer show the EPS valuations holding this market up. I’m still heavy in semis and not giving up and getting a price improvement in SOXX or SMH still works longterm because ultimately everything electronic relies on them and AI demand overall likely not wavering any time soon yet pop always on the back on my mind being this and Dotcom Bubble often seem similar even if not exact.
SOXX still hovering around ATHs. Shakeout for ants
I think hedge funds may be getting in to boost lackluster yearly returns before its too late but things are still valued a bit high. Volume seemed oddly weak today, for that little rally. I saw an analyst say today looked like short covering on the indexes. Several divergences on different time frames that didnt seem to bear out. Also the short float was pretty high on SPY QQQ and SOXX today. I'll be looking to see if the short float percentage goes down on the next little bounce. I don't think the bubble is bursting yet but we are overdue for a more significant correction. Maybe not til next year tho.
I think we limit down tomorrow… SOXX will go down 33.33% and SOXL will be eliminated from the game
My own portfolio is up more than double that in the same time span. I think a lot of us have that kind of performance or better for our tech stock picking during this bull run. The real question should be with all her researchers and resources and professional infrastructure why aren't Cathie Wood's funds performing as well as all of us random individuals? Why is she underperforming something as simple as QQQ or a semi ETF like SOXX? And this isn't a matter of hindsight being 20/20, for those of us who have consistently invested in tech over the last two+ decades, we picked these stocks because the conditions were so obviously repeating for a new massive phase of buildout around tech (especially AI and related industries) just like the last phase was all about the web, social media, etc. She seems to buy based on that instinct we all have to chase ideas that sound great before there is a clear winner, but why hasn't she learned to just wait for clear winners to emerge? Her funds seem to operate like hype and marketing machines for venture capital backed IPOs more than smart innovation investing.
Why SMH? Nvidia has already factored in about 10 years of profits in its price; it's much easier for AMD to double its price by only grabbing a small piece of the market that Nvidia already dominates. SOXX is a much better option for the future than SMH (speaking of the future, not the past).
Yeah, look at it’s all-time. It was higher than it is now in 2021, vol decay definitely eats that one. Better to hold SOXX.
Just look at SOXL. It gets pumelled everytime SOXX crashes but then it comes back roaring
Hey man, saw spy dip and SOXX offload, nuff said.
I assume NVDA down on increased competition from other players which is why SOXX is up
NVDA flipped red and SOXX up 4% damn
SPY +0.25% SOXX +2.13% what a market
SOXX is still the best index to own
SOXX, ARKK, SPMO, and QQQ are all going to have massive overlap. Tech and momentum are intertwined heavily, and the others are all just straight tech plays.
i did my dissertation on financial crises and market bubbles and one thing I've learnt is that no one knows when there is a bubble and when the markets are genuinely experiencing a rational growth. some swings up and down from the real intrinsic values will always happen, but what's the amplitude of those swings? are they big enough to completely wipe you out ? this is why diversification is necessary. about 12 stocks should be enough for diversifying away the unsystematic risk, but they also have to be uncorrelated or have very low correlation (a correlation matrix will help here). have a look at SOXX. they have 21% concentrated in nvidia, amd and broadcom and 10 stocks in total. this is the best exposure to chips and a decent diversity.
