>Semiconductors are replaceable commodities that have to compete on razor thin margins.
>The real winners are Azure, AWS, and GCP
This is cope.
*ahem* Hello frens. SOXL is the answer. Face it. Semiconductors are crack in all but name. The desire for newer, faster, more is insatiable. Computers, GPUs, self-driving electric cars, AI enhanced smartphones, medical devices, microcontrollers, networking gear, machine learning, surveillance, infrastructure, military, the list goes on. No matter how many cores, how fast or efficient, demand requires bigger, faster, cheaper, better. The clamor for fresh silicon gives nary shit for national identity, creed, hue, gender or other vain conceit. The multitude speaks in singular. The plea: semiconductor.
SOXL couples a single ETF entry point with the the best companies the space has to offer then pushes the already stellar returns to the limit with 3x leverage. With SOXL your economic interests are aligned with hardware powerhouses TSM, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Intel, Dutch based ASML, Broadcom, AMD, Micron, Texas Instruments, Applied Materials, et al. Real tech companies with innovative products people want, not """tech""" """companies""" pushing shitty ads. And like all leveraged ETFs, SOXL is rebalanced daily, accelerating gains in an upmarket while mitigating margin risks in a down.
In the last 7 years, SOXL has exploded over 100x (not even counting dividends!) yet still we are early. Semiconductor growth will proceed exponentially until every viable space is saturated with it. This is a fait accompli; the sheer number of interested parties and compelling outcomes make it so. The injection of increasingly compact and efficient sensors, microcontrollers, information processing, storage, and machine learning into everywhere and everything will be this era's seminal revolution, a revolution with SOXL holders planted firmly at the receiving end.
Waiting for the "pullback" is a failure mode. Now. Buy it now.

It's admittedly a bit discretionary but based on what I'm seeing, when SOXX goes above the 200 sma it goes above it more than QQQ does and when it goes below, it goes further below it than QQQ does. They both trade very similarly just SOXX swings up and down a bit more. More than anything else I see that trades similar to the overall market indexes like SPY which is kinda what I'm going for. Since it swings down so far, I can make a judgement call and try to get SOXL on a mean reversion trade in addition to everything else I'm doing. I look at the chart and see that about every 2 years when SOXX is under the 200 sma, SOXL will drop more than 50% below the 200 sma and revert every time right after that point. It's like clock work. TQQQ and QQQ and quite as cut and dry, e.g., TQQQ usually doesn't hit the 50% mark. I basically trend trade SOXL based off SOXX and the 200 sma but when the opportunity presents itself I'm ready to go in on a big mean reversion off a good bottom and SOXL hitting that 50% low is so obvious it just jumps off the chart at me. And, again, I'm bullish on semis so there's that.

>Okay, despite faggot naysayers such as >>20755054 you've convinced me but can I do better than just going in and praying? Can I get out before another March?
Here's an example with everybody's favorite leveraged Nasdaq ETF. A bet for leveraged ETFs like TQQQ is a bet against volatility since these instruments do best in a low volatility environment. Incidentally low volatility usually means rising prices and increasingly high volatility usually means a crash like in March. A good way to visualize it is with a 200 day moving average. If the price is above the average, volatility is typically low and the environment is good for leverage. Below that average is bad and leverage works against you. The upshot is this: put a 200 day moving average on the underlying chart, in the TQQQ case that's QQQ, when QQQ is above the average, go all in on the leveraged TQQQ as that's when you'll get the best results. When unleveraged QQQ is below the 200 day moving average sell your TQQQ until you're back above the line. Maybe give yourself a percent or two of breathing room so you don't get chopped up.
To wit, if you look at the QQQ chart now with the 200 daily average overlayed, you'll see on March 11th we went under the average. The TQQQ price on that day was $63 and on April 7th we went back above QQQ's 200 daily average at which time TQQQ was $53. Had you sold then bought on those dates you would have missed the worst of the bottom and gained 16% to boot. But look at the QQQ chart and notice the price was $200 on both of those dates. So why was it better to sell and buy on the TQQQ chart and why did it gain 16% versus being flat on QQQ? Because volatility was increasing, working against TQQQ when you sold but decreasing, working for TQQQ when you bought. If you don't know when to get out of leveraged ETFs cuz you're banking and don't want to waste gains, but you also don't wanna lose big on a crash, this is as good a strategy as I've seen that requires no discretionary trading.

SOXL has totally saved me from the March crash.

SOXL chads when are we buying more? Thinking we're going all the way down into the 80's this time around.

90% cancer, 10% Insider Trading

I absolutely refuse to believe anybody here was seriously long-term bearish throughout this dip. It was obvious from the start based President Trump would step up to the plate and crush the commie virus like a, um, bug. I utterly refuse to believe anybody with an IQ above 80 did not see the utter certainty of this recovery. Any actual unironic Bobos right now need to stop trading and all in QQQ then just throw a little in each pay check until retirement. IF YOU ARE BEARISH YOU ARE NOT CUT OUT FOR TRADING

Stop waiting for more "pullback". The crash was a gift and fretting over the exact bottom is meaningless. Deliberation is over; waiting is a failure mode. Now. Buy it now.

>Why haven't you purchased it, anon?
Our work is tireless but we'll make every last anon on this board rich and it'll all be worth it. Even now the dip is still in, if anybody hasn't got in yet do it now. If you're too poor for even a single share get a vertical call spread on an SOXX leap and work up until you can afford one. Don't delay

>TECL has outperformed SOXL by 20% in the past month. I am thinking of liquidating my SOXL holdings and adding to my TECL (which outperformed SOXL by 40% for the past 12 months too). I thought the phase one deal might lead to big gains, but the instability with China has really fucked with it instead.
Yeah, TECL has done well lately but keep in mind the coronavirus has hit semiconductor companies particularly hard since they have to manufacture and ship physical products most of which come from China. TECL is loaded with both hardware and software companies so it's naturally going to outperform SOXL in the current environment. That said, SOXL has historically outperformed TECL, and for reasons I've outlined in the pasta I wrote, I believe this will continue to be the case. Think of it like this, SOXL is depressed at the moment but that will not remain the case. When this nCoV thing blows over we will explode back to our rightful place on the top of the tech ETF pantheon. The price is low. That's when you buy. Selling now and buying TECL would be precisely the opposite

Babbys first strategy for newfrens. Start with a firm belief that in the long term the market will go up and in the medium/short term there will be tradeable volatility. Then look at what tickers are the least likely to ever go to zero which leaves the indexes like SPY, QQQ, etc. Then, realizing the indexes move too slowly, look at leveraged ETFs with indexes as the underlying so SPXL, TQQQ, etc. Upon realizing the dangers of margin consider that leveraged ETFs are daily rebalanced and the market has circuit breakers that make is unlikely in the very extreme a leveraged index (INDEX) fund will drop enough to liquidate in a single day. It's essentially never gonna happen (remember leveraged index fund not commodity of volatility). Then look at the leveraged index and sector based ETFs and see which ones have the most plausible narrative for going up highest in the shortest amount of time. This leaves the tech ETFs like TQQQ, TECL, and SOXL. Of these SOXL is the top dog so that's where your money goes. First always keep enough SOXL in your account to beat the S&P 500 index soundly even when it's going parabolic, this means always maintaining at least 1/5 of the account invested (that 1/5 is leveraged remember and 1/5 of SOXL is roughly equivalent to 5/5 of SPY). With the remaining 4/5, strive to destroy the S&P through trading the volatility around you core position with a mean reversion strat (you can do this I believe in you).
Worst case scenario you maintain pace with the S&P which isn't too shabby. If you're good and I think you are or I wouldn't waste my time then you beat both the S&P and SOXL and that is a 1st class ticket to Making It(TM)

SOXL. Face it. Semiconductors are crack in all but name. The desire for newer, faster, more is insatiable. Computers, GPUs, self-driving electric cars, AI enhanced smartphones, medical devices, microcontrollers, networkinging gear, machine learning, surveillance, infrastructure, deadly war machines, the list is endless. No matter how many cores, or how fast and efficient, demand requires bigger, faster, cheaper, and better. The clamor for fresh silicon gives nary shit for national identity, creed, hue, gender, asshole virginity or any vain conceit; the multitude speaks in singular. The plea: semiconductor.
Which gift delights the most? Fresh plaid socks or the new drop semiconducters blinken the lights.
Get on the receiving end right now with SOXL. This 3x leveraged ETF couples a single entry point with diversified high return semiconductor exposure then juices the already stellar profits further via 3 times leverage and daily rebalancing to boot. SOXL aligns your economic interests with those of powerhouses like Nvidia, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, Micron, Texas Instruments, Applied Materials, et al. Refreshingly juxtaposed against the overloaded phrase "tech company", these are the ones who reach into the body tech and directly beat the heart of a real tech revolution. The tech revolution is the hardware.
The last 7 years, SOXL has appreciated 42x. Those fortunes already made but indulge a projection here. Advances in silicon and primitive machine intelligence wrought therein seemingly inch forward in measured steps yet closer inspection resolves the crude linear progression into precise exponential. Exponential curves have a knee and when the knee in the growth of the semiconductor space is reached, 42x returns will seem laughably quaint with orders of magnitude more are still to come.
Stop waiting for the "pullback". Where we're going, fretting over a few dollars is meaningless. The deliberation is over; waiting is a failure mode. Now. Buy it now.
