I just closed most of my $SOXL (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF) position with around +20% profit after one trading day 📈 This was a tactical trade, not a long-term position. ✅ What I did • Bought after the roughly 30% dip on Friday • Used around 2% of my portfolio • Took profit after the quick rebound 💡 Why I like keeping some cash aside Extreme selloffs can create attractive short-term opportunities. Not every dip should be bought, but when the setup looks strong, having cash available can be useful. ⚖️ Why position size matters 2% may sound small, but a few successful tactical trades per year can still help lift overall returns. Betting too much is dangerous, because rebounds are never guaranteed. 🚀 Why I kept a smaller part There may still be some upside if the potential SpaceX IPO boosts risk-on sentiment and semiconductor-related trades. ⚠️ The key risk Daily leveraged ETFs like $SOXL can work well after extreme dips or strong rally setups, but volatility can hurt them over time. So I don’t want to hold too long. Balanced approach: take profits, reduce risk, keep some upside. $QQQ (Invesco QQQ) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc) $SMH (VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF) $MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) $AVGO (Broadcom Inc) $XLK (State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF) $SPY (State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF) $TQQQ (ProShares UltraPro QQQ) $SOXX (iShares Semiconductor ETF ) $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR) $NSDQ100 $INTC (Intel) $MRVL (Marvell Technology Group Ltd) $ASML (ASML Holding NV) $BTC PS I like how @PeerInvests handles the current volatility if you check the trading history.
