NASDAQ:SOXX
A broad-based play. A lot of individual names go down 10-15% when they miss on earnings. This ETF gives you diverse exposure to the names you'd want to own, but wrapped up in a nice little package. Buy and hold for the next year, see where we are after that.
His thesis is that growth is going to outperform.
The Canadian equivalent is CHPS.
Seeing strong outperformance due to chips and AI. Bellwether is NVDA, followed by AMD, MU and (to a lesser extent) INTC. Just getting started on the AI movement. Chips will continue to be a major part of that. Great long-term investment for diverse exposure; could buy today and still make money.
But for a short-term trade, be cautious on entry point, as many of the names have run up. Always have to be cautious when buying something that's moved significantly to the upside already.
Both have had very good runs. He'd take a third off the table. If it goes up, you still have two thirds. If it goes down, pat yourself on the back for being so smart. Then you can figure out if the trend is there to go lower. For both he'd trim a bit, and either way you'll feel good about yourself. :)
Remember that some of the semis are very cyclical. Right now, there's an oversupply on the memory side, which you can see with the likes of ASML. And you can see this ETF rolling over. He stays away from ETFs because they're a mixed bag. The place you want to be in semis is in AI chips -- like NVDA, and AVGO (nipping at NVDA's heels).
