When will people learn to take profits? Everyone expects to ride an insane couple hundred % rise since the pandemic. Take profits, and reinvest.... SMH
Good take. The connotation of it being impossible to beat the market is tired. For example, simply DCA'ing into $SMH would have allowed you to beat the market the last 10ish years based on average annual returns.
SMH is a semi ETF, XLK is a tech ETF which long term is much safer than TSM who will eventually have its country at war, eventually.

Interesting. I’ll check out SMH
I don't like how much it concentrates on software companies. I'm more fond of supply chain investing so I chose SMH over VGT when I increased my tech weighting.
22 years old. Roth IRA for the next 40 years. With dividends reinvesting in the security. What do you think? 30% VOO (S&P 500 Index ETF) 15% SCHG (US-Large Cap Growth ETF) 15% FIVFX (Foreign Large Growth Fund) 15% VTI (Total Market Index ETF) 10% SMH (Semiconductor ETF) 5% FBTC (Fidelity Bitcoin Fund) 5% CRWD (CrowdStrike) 5% NVDA (Nvidia)
I'm 22 and indecisive about investing in SMH or FSELX for the next 30 years. Everyone discusses how SMH has a lower expense ratio and superior tax efficiency. However, it seems like FSELX is more reliable and pays better dividends. Whatever I choose will be 10% of my ROTH. Thanks!
I have faith in the stock market in general to make me money, and I know $XOM is a top 20 holding in VTI, but I'm not gonna outright invest in fossil fuels, so SMH is a pass for me; also isn't betting on $TSM is "going bigger" than $XLK?
Short GLD, and SMH, Long MSFT, CRM, AMZN, META..... Software names.....
Become a Boglehead, future's looking grim and bleak. If you're this young and already making this amount, go 80% Boglehead and 20% whatever you think but I'd suggest going for the 30-40 year long game. Make the real gains only gained through patience and stick with reputable ETFs. QQQM/VTI is good mix. I'm really aggressive though and don't take this advice even though I should and am holding SMH, XLK, UNRJ, BITO bunch of outliers so Uranium, Crypto, Semi's, Tech ETFs if want to get crazy with it. Imo AI will feed on chips, idk what'll happen with crypto but it's such a small amount anyways, Uranium has 3-5 year cycles we're just starting apparently, and tech is the future of course. This gives me mega cap exposure like Nvidia and MSFT without having to pick individual mega caps.
🦅 $SMH $SOXL ignore S&P focus semiconductors

SMH PUT HOLDERS ASSEMBLE 
Yep one earning's from things going wrong, more saturation and market leaders hard to remove from the lead. The longer invest the more I realize don't want to pick the next Apple, rather have an ETF like SMH, XLK, QQQ, etc..
I should have sold at $4 instead of watching it drop and selling at 3.09. SMH

Correction: 20% IWM 20% VOT 20% QQQ 20% SMH 20% VTI
SMH that I loaded at 200
I'd probably follow the same liquidation plan. I've had Apple for a very long time so I know better than to call a peak but there are lulls. MSFT's portfolio with cloud and enterprise software combined with the push in AI is a combo I wouldn't sell off right now. Repurchasing in a taxable account is a little different of a story. I've been taking the opportunity to diversify, although that doesn't mean my foot is off the gas, there are sector ETFs like SMH focused in semiconductors that are still spicy but less risky than a single holding. I'll balance those picks, or stock picks that I can't resist, with traditional Three Fund Portfolio S&P500 or Total Market ETFs.
If you are truly bullish about semiconductors, how do you feel about $SMH today, in relation to $AMD earnings?
Right now I’d be observing $SMH
Do you guys think SMH (NVDA, AMD in particular) are less interest rate sensitive than QQQ? Thinking about moving my port from QQQ to SMH in anticipation of Wednesday (and all the earnings).
While everyone here is losing money on $SOFI, I day trade calls on $SMH once I see the MACD and RSI call the bottom across all the semis in it. Some call it crime, others call it correlation. I don’t need a coronation, for the way I practice exultation.

Totally lost track of cruises right at the bottom. SMH
What's worked best so far out of every strategy is buying an ETF like XLK, SMH, QLD when fear and greed index dumps. Nothing has beat these consistent long term ETF gains bought at the right time.
You’re right, let not talk about individual stocks. XLE, the oil industry ETF is up 53% since 2014. SPY, is up 300%. SMH, the semiconductor ETF is up 1000%. Oil is a dead end - I say this having heavily invested in OVV and OXY in 2020.

This comment alone shows you fundamental misunderstand how the market works. SMH.
Me sitting here with half a port of SMH puts, currently down 40%, and I'm not even sweating it. 
You’re a fool. lol. Yes Einstein if the market is down then your positions are down and vice versa. SMH. By the way what time is your wife’s boyfriend coming over to give her the eggplant lol.
Looks as if it has based related to SMH and reversed related to QQQ, might be a good buy zone here
If you want to look at tickers off the beaten path with strong recent performance, SMH and IDMO. If you don't understand the risks with these, then I'd just stick with VOO as you originally planned.
Just buy SMH instead so you get diversification and a mix of winners and losers.
It’d be nice if they removed intc entirely from SMH. How the hell can a cheap company be down over the last 12 months?
$SMH gang out here watching the comments like 👀👀👀
They tell you how much you would have made buying $1000 into AAPL a decade ago. I predict next decade most of you sitting here reading about today, that time, you could have gotten $NVDA or $SMH leaps. Follow the ultimate GILF- Nancy Pelosi
Oh look! $SMH relatively unaffected by data that affects retail facing companies!
I see you playing $NVDA calls and puts, and I raise you $SMH to make your money work far more effectively to play their stock.
$SOXL & $SMH for the bulls, $VIXY for the hawks
$SMH is your friend next week 👀👀👀
the semi cycle for many companies is *just* beginning the upswing, others haven't even started it yet. We're in the new cycle's infancy. What's funny about this cycle, though, is that a ton of demand for certain chips have been pulled forward a great deal because of AI, so we'll see how that plays out. I personally think it means that there's room for, say, the XSD to begin outperforming the SMH or SOXX from here. On another note, I really, really dig semicap companies but I have a sneaking suspicion that they'll be the first to fall when the downcycle comes or even before then. I think they're the most vulnerable at the top this cycle, because so much of that equipment ordered to fulfill AI demand will be used to meet upcoming demand for more general-purpose chips - that's my thesis, I'd love to hear any ideas that invalidate it. Long story short, I'm buying those that are beginning to show Q/Q order growth after a historic downturn. I'm less certain that semicap will have the same runway this cycle because AI demand pulling forward so many orders so early in the cycle.
SMH (has Intel inside) up 270% past 5 years while Intel is down 39% past 5 years
Do you know my advice wasn’t correct but as of right now wouldn’t have lost you any money either. SMH
SMH up more than 1%. Weird day so far.
$SMH neatly parked at $206 it’s almost like semis are not allowed to moon for the moment
i wouldnt even saying buying puts today was degen lmao. RSI was stupid high. hope those SMH puts print for you though
Its a great play on AI. I like SOXX myself. It is my second largest holding. Last I looked the main difference between SOXX and SMH was SMH had a lot more exposure to TSM. Either way I think they are both fine. Just keep in mind that chip stocks are cyclical in nature so you might have to stomach some losses.
SMH puts. Chip trade fizzling out. Give yourself a month.
Did you see my comment to inverse Cramer and that I was gaped from $34 to $17? I never even went through with it SMH
Holding a call on VTI and intending to get in a call on SMH.
Any recommendation on ETF focused on AI/Robotics/Automation/Semiconductors? I have [SMH.US](http://SMH.US), [QQQ.US](http://QQQ.US) already, but I need something more focused on robotics I guess?
Doubled down on SMH puts and I'm not even remotely nervous about it... 
Anybody else make coffee in a saucepan? I decant instead of using filters. It's cheap and it works. Also anybody else keep calling SMH (the semiconductor ETF) "Shaking My Head"?
Meanwhile I had to pay almost 50k in cap gains taxes SMH
Locked in my 250% profits on SMH puts this morning, then loaded up on more puts with new expiry. Sorry bols, but the chip trade is done. Semis are fuk... 
Dude, really? You're quitting 1.04% away from the finish line? Lame. SMH.
Hopefully the next CEO understands basic business concepts like branding. SMH.
So I have AMD and SMH, both up around 35% now following AMDs massive drop, I am better just holding smh and selling AMD or keeping both? I believe in AMD but I like having a somewhat steady-ish portfolio
Not as concerning as OP's "source" link. SMH
Been buying some VTI / SMH every day or so while it's trading down.... Looking at a 5+ year time horizon.
403b/401k/Roth IRA is 100% Bitcoin. Taxable brokerage account 85/5/5/5 (FBTC/QQQ/XLE/SMH). And then I've got more self custodied Bitcoin.
SMH a good long term buy especially after this correction
Opinions on SMH? I'm 60% VTI and 40% SMH, have another 20-30% of my account in new cash ready to invest, should I got VXUS or SMH? I'm 36 and have steady income and no debt. My thoughts are I can risk SMH for 2 to 3 years and then roll over to VXUS at a random point in the future.
My SMH 230p's agree with you... 
lol “considering” quitting? SMH
You do realize why netflix dropped despite good earnings right? Lmfao. SMH.
https://preview.redd.it/i8j0p0bcavvc1.jpeg?width=1119&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1fa0d12ee7054cbfe6269f421bd55db5dced1ea I have returned to bless your trades this week by addressing a few concerns: First off, the defense bill passing on a Saturday is also because major defense contractors hammered it into Johnson’s head to think of what legacy he is leaving. With $DFEN, you can play all defense earnings. This is similar to my play with $SMH from $197 for last NVDA earnings. This is probably the safest trade this week. Play defense directly if you want for $RTX or $LMT but I like to be insular from earnings call risks. $META calls are a meta play on TikTok ban news. It’s a direct competitor to Instagram Reels. $TSLA puts because reality has caught up to Tesla’s P/E ratio and horrendous CEO. /r/cybersucks for more info by me. That’s the extent of my knowledge for the week.
I’m excited to see more red and buying opportunities. I’m not retiring for another 25 years, going to load up on VTI, SMH.
Still got half my SMH puts......I think #🤔
Well, I basically played earnings- $WM into $HOOD into $AVAV and also played $NVDA earnings through $SMH
This is true. And to be clear, I've put my entire 401k into a mix of S&P 500 and international. I max it out every year. But in my IRA and brokerage, I do include QQQ and SMH to overweight myself in some sectors that I think will continue to outperform going forward.
5 years was an example. Let's look at 10 years: VOOV: 105% VTI: 154% S&P 500: 181% QQQ: 374% SMH: 806% Yes, holding these is aggressive and I would only do it with a long term horizon. But anyone who was only invested in S&P 500 for the past 10 years has underperformed significantly. I would never recommend individual stocks, but holding some position in these growth ETFs has been very lucrative long-term.
If you're investing and not gambling, you should only be looking at the long term performance. If we consider the past 5 years, here are the percent gains: VTI: 63.31% S&P 500: 68.96% QQQ: 117.49% SMH: 244.00% I know that the S&P 500 performs better during bear markets. But if you're holding long term, then "bear" and "bull" markets don't matter. Personally, I like to have a mix of some of these safer and "riskier" ETFs.
I ended up staying with SMH instead....
SMH puts up +246%! Still not selling them! 
Sold half my SMH puts. Nice hit!
I contribute $500 monthly. I’ve been saving some extra cash on the side that I finally put into use. Dumped around $1k today into QQQ, SMH and some other individual stocks that have been beaten up.
They stated in the article that they changed the way they “adjust” the numbers right at the time things started to look like they were getting better. It’s the same as when they say inflation appears to be going down now that we stopped looking at energy, food and housing costs. SMH. Election year means nothing you hear or read is true.
SMH he should’ve gotten vaxxed
Weekly gain 40 bucks. Coulda been much more. SMH
Damn. Those SMH puts I bought yesterday are killing it. Thanks Josh Brown!
Bought SMH puts yesterday so I hope not
All great, essential companies. Cant go wrong with any of them. My personal favorite is AMAT. They make the machines that make semiconductors, which the demand for is only growing. They are also not segmented to just one type of chip. They make the equipment needed for both low end chips and high end chips. Contrast this to ASML which has a monopoly on making the piece of equipment needed only in very advanced chips. Additionally AMAT has rewarded their investors in both price appreciation and dividend income, which they have committed to growing their dividend 20%/year for the next for years as of 2023. SMH is probably your safest route to avoid having all your eggs in one basket and being upset if the stock you picked slightly underperforms the others. Lets be honest, stock picking is very emotional with a lot of hindsight biases
SMH puts up 180% and I'm diamond handing it! 
One of the fastest 10% declines for the semi sector (SMH) in recent history
