@Jo Tan:$DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$Waiting for Tues to be here is a bitter sweet feeling, not know if DBS will rise, riding off the back of Fri's rally of the S&P. With the increase in interest rates in Jun and Jul, I'm not sure why this is not reflected in the prices.1. Perhaps majority feel that it is still a long way off and money can be better spent.2. Or investors feel that the interest rates will not allow the bank to profit more than how the economy will have a negative effect.I can only remind myself not to invest today but for the future and I believe that me holding on to the stock will pay off in Jul-Aug.

On the surface, APE may look like a way to sell more shares without diluting the original AMC equity, but there is a catch. </p><p>APE shares have full voting rights and can become convertible to AMC common stock if shareholders approve. With the number of APE shares rising quickly, the dilutive chickens could eventually come home to roost. </p><h2>AMC is cheap for a reason </h2><p>While AMC&#39;s low stock price might catch the attention of bargain-hungry investors, it pays to look before you leap. Even if the company&#39;s operational challenges are eventually resolved, management&#39;s questionable decision-making and relentless equity dilution are major red flags for long-term investors.

In fact, Tesla provided its annual production and delivery estimates stating that it wasn&#39;t counting on Giga Berlin or Giga Texas to make a monumental impact since Giga Shanghai and Tesla&#39;s Fremont factory are cranking out EVs at an increasing speed.</p><p>Nonetheless, Tesla already hit the milestone of 1,000 Model Y crossovers produced per week in Berlin by June 2022. The same goal was achieved at Giga Texas much more recently. At any rate, new reports are suggesting that Tesla is hoping to produce 2,000 Model Y per week in the near future. As we previously reported, the goal is for the Tesla factory in Germany to reach a run rate of 3,000 EVs per week by this October 2022.</p><p>Keep in mind that Tesla&#39;s CEO Elon Musk has been raving about the Model Y since he first unveiled it. Musk has gone so far as to say that it will eventually be the best-selling vehicle across the globe, and it&#39;s already making notable strides.</p><p>With two factories making Model Y crossovers in the US for the local market, as well as a factory in China producing the electric crossover for local and global consumption, Tesla is already proving that it can begin to chip away at the high demand by reducing Model Y delivery times. Now, focusing on the European market seems paramount.</p><p>The new 2,000-Model-Y-per-week goal was reported by Teslarati based on details from the German publication TeslaMag.de. The article cites reports suggesting that Tesla aims to achieve the goal sometime in September 2022.</p><p>If the EV maker can pull it off, it will have doubled its production capacity in just a few months.

In fact, Tesla provided its annual production and delivery estimates stating that it wasn't counting on Giga Berlin or Giga Texas to make a monumental impact since Giga Shanghai and Tesla's Fremont factory are cranking out EVs at an increasing speed.Nonetheless, Tesla already hit the milestone of 1,000 Model Y crossovers produced per week in Berlin by June 2022. The same goal was achieved at Giga Texas much more recently. At any rate, new reports are suggesting that Tesla is hoping to produce 2,000 Model Y per week in the near future. As we previously reported, the goal is for the Tesla factory in Germany to reach a run rate of 3,000 EVs per week by this October 2022.Keep in mind that Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has been raving about the Model Y since he first unveiled it. Musk has gone so far as to say that it will eventually be the best-selling vehicle across the globe, and it's already making notable strides.With two factories making Model Y crossovers in the US for the local market, as well as a factory in China producing the electric crossover for local and global consumption, Tesla is already proving that it can begin to chip away at the high demand by reducing Model Y delivery times. Now, focusing on the European market seems paramount.The new 2,000-Model-Y-per-week goal was reported by Teslarati based on details from the German publication TeslaMag.de. The article cites reports suggesting that Tesla aims to achieve the goal sometime in September 2022.If the EV maker can pull it off, it will have doubled its production capacity in just a few months. Adding another 1,000 EVs produced per week in another month or so doesn't seem impossible, but we'll have to wait and see how the ramp-up to 2,000 progresses before we speculate about when Tesla might actually hit 3,000.It's important to note that even though Tesla just recently opened Giga Berlin, it has already carried out some upgrades to speed up production. The same has been true of Giga Shanghai and Giga Texas.Tesla continues to prove that it can increase its production speed at factories across the globe and that the upgrades are actually making a notable impact. This helps to make it more clear that those same strategies and upgrades may have a similar impact at each of Tesla's factories.Looking further out, Tesla executive Drew Baglino noted during the company's Q2 2022 earning conference call that Giga Berlin could reach a run rate of as many as 5,000 Model Y SUVs per week by the end of 2022.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":779,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9905298435,"gmtCreate":1659888317329,"gmtModify":1703767376389,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"😀","listText":"😀","text":"😀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9905298435","repostId":"1193631683","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1193631683","pubTimestamp":1659844890,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1193631683?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-08-07 12:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"SOXX Vs.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) has historically been traded at a premium relative to the overall market. For example, back in March 2022, SOXX was trading at a P/E of about 31.5x and SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) at about 26.5x according to Yahoo Finance data. However, recent corrections have brought SOXX P/E to the current level of 15.45x, about a 17% discount from the S&amp;P 500’s 18.4x.</p><p>And you will see next that the discount from the NASDAQ 100 index, represented by the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), is even larger. To wit, SOXX suffered a total loss of 18.6% YTD and QQQ about 22% as you can see from the following chart. Combined with earnings changes, the valuation of SOXX now stands at 15.45x and QQQ at 22.01x, a discount of almost 30%.</p><p>Besides the valuation compression, the volatility has also become much quieter recently, adding another reason for considering a heavier bet on the tech sector. As you can see from the second chart below, the volatility index has subdued substantially YTD, decreasing from the 30+ level routinely seen at the earlier part of the year to the current level of 22.4x. To provide broader context, a volatility of 30 is at the top 93% percentile of historical volatility. While 22 is at about 71% percentile. The major reason for the quieter volatility is Fed’s recent rate movements and comments, which are consistent with market expectations and also provide clarity for the near term. And as detailed in our earlier article, when volatility is high, it’s a good idea to hunker down and vice versa.</p><p>Against this backdrop, we will look at the pros and cons of SOXX and QQQ more closely next.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f72c63da0a7d8eedbc184b0660f4407\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b248f56895c6032b2da0df332ea2136\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Yahoo Finance</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: basic information</b></p><p>QQQ needs little introduction. It is one of the most popular funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. However, as aforementioned, many investors are unaware that QQQ is not a pure-tech play because the NASDAQ 100 index tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. I will table this for now and come back to this point later.</p><p>SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play completely concentrated in the semiconductor sector. As detailed in the fund description:</p><blockquote>The iShares Semiconductor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the semiconductor sector. It provides exposure to U.S. companies that design, manufacture, and distribute semiconductors and targeted access to domestic semiconductor stocks. It is used to express a sector view.</blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e966fca4e88cd458f9c755dfd52b8913\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"408\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: ETF.com</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: Past performance and risks</b></p><p>Both the SOXX and QQQ funds have delivered handsome returns in the past as you can see from the chart below. SOXX has delivered an annual return of 10.12% since its inception in 2022, and QQQ has delivered a slightly higher CAGR of 11.5%. Both outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by a good margin of about 2% to 3%.</p><p>When compounded over the past decade, such an alpha has accumulated into a sizable difference in total return. With dividends reinvested, SOXX has delivered a total return of 720% and QQQ more than 930%, far higher than the S&amp;P 500’s 525%.</p><p>Although the downside is their price volatilities. We’ve already seen a glimpse of their price volatility in the short term in the previous section already in the past year. As you can see in the long term, both SOXX and QQQ have suffered much larger volatility than the S&amp;P 500 too. And SOXX in particular has suffered by far the largest volatility. In terms of standard deviation, it&#39;s 27% is almost double that of the SP 500 (14%) and has also been higher than QQQ by about a whole 8%. In terms of worst-year performance, SOXX suffered a 51% loss (which will take more than a 100% rally to breakeven), which was 10% more than QQQ and 14% more than SP 500. And finally, in terms of maximum drawdown, SOXX’s 62% maximum drawdown (which takes a 163% rally to break even) is truly nerve-wracking. In contrast, both QQQ and SP 500 were in the 50% range.</p><p>And next, we will see that the root cause of the volatilities is in their fundamental indexing methods.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3142137b9f8dc11b7c904ca806134bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Portfolio Visualizer</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: More concentrated bet on Tech</b></p><p>As aforementioned, QQQ tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. As you can see from the chart below, information technology represents 49.8% of QQQ’s total assets, followed by communication services at 17.7%, and consumer discretionary at 14.9%. Admittedly, some of the companies in communication services and consumer discretionary are also tech companies. Nonetheless, information technology only represents a minor majority of the farm. Note that QQQ also holds a good portion of consumer staples, healthcare, industrials, and utilities.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3925a655d51f43f4e802067912a50996\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SOXX and QQ fund fact sheets</p><p>SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play. The fund is completely invested in the tech sector, especially the semiconductor sector. As you can see, it invests more than 79.1% of its total assets in semiconductor stocks and more than 20.6% in semiconductor equipment. Furthermore, its holdings are also more concentrated. SOXX holds a total of 32 stocks and QQQ about 100.</p><p>You can also see the concentration and composition more vividly by looking at their top ten holdings. One of their top 10 holdings overlaps: Nvidia (NVDA). But NVDA represents an 8.3% allocation in SOXX, in contrast to only 3.28% in QQQ. Also note that QQQ’s top holdings include stables like Costco (COST) and PepsiCo (PEP), while all SOXX holdings are semiconductor stocks.</p><p>To me, this is key for SOXX’s long-term performance. It places concentrated bet one of the most innovative sectors: information technologies. For this reason and the current valuation, I see favorable odds for SOXX to keep outperforming S&amp;P 500 in the long term. I also see good odds for it to outperform QQQ too, as to be detailed next.</p><p>But again, before we turn the page, investors need to be aware of the volatility risks and to pick the right fund for their timeframe and risk tolerance.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3996f0a253361b226144eebb3f7ed5d8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"503\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: ETF.com</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: valuation comparison</b></p><p>As aforementioned, SOXX has historically been traded at a premium relative to both S&amp;P 500 and QQQ because of its growth potential. However, recent price corrections have brought its valuation to a discount. SOXX’s current P/E of 15.45x is ~17% discounted from the S&amp;P 500. And as the next table shows, the discount from QQQ is even larger.</p><p>The price-to-earnings ratio of SOXX is 15.4x only, below QQQ’s 22.0x by about a whopping 30%. Other metrics paint the same picture. The price-to-cash flow ratio of SOXX is 19.5x, below QQQ’s 22.8x by about 15%. And price-to-book value ratio of SOXX is 7.13x, below QQQ’s 8.93x by about 20%, despite SOXX’s higher ROE of 46% vs 40% of QQQ. Finally, do not be alarmed by SOXX’s higher price-to-sales ratio. Its price-to-sales ratio of 6.23x is higher than QQQ by about 35%, but its net margin is higher by 90%.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5b2dc581df59faffb1ea586d8ea07356\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"157\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Author</p><p><b>Final thoughts and risks</b></p><p>There are good reasons to start considering the tech sector now. QQQ has never been a bad choice with its low fee, broad market representation, and excellent liquidity. However, more aggressive investors with a long timeframe might want to consider SOXX also given the valuation correction and the quieter volatility ahead. SOXX has historically enjoyed a valuation premium over the overall market. But its current is ~17% discounted from the S&amp;P 500 and about 30% from the QQQ.</p><p>Finally, risks. If you recall from an earlier chart, SOXX charges an expense ratio of 0.4%, and QQQ charges a lower expense ratio of 0.2% only. The extra fee will always create a drag on SOXX (0.2% per year). Also note that SOXX also has a much higher turnover ratio than QQQ (32% vs 8.9%), which might have tax implications for some accounts.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e1e89f6bda5e5bfc9689db56ec0569a2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"194\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>SOXX Vs.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) has historically been traded at a premium relative to the overall market. For example, back in March 2022, SOXX was trading at a P/E of about 31.5x and SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) at about 26.5x according to Yahoo Finance data. However, recent corrections have brought SOXX P/E to the current level of 15.45x, about a 17% discount from the S&P 500’s 18.4x.And you will see next that the discount from the NASDAQ 100 index, represented by the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), is even larger. To wit, SOXX suffered a total loss of 18.6% YTD and QQQ about 22% as you can see from the following chart. Combined with earnings changes, the valuation of SOXX now stands at 15.45x and QQQ at 22.01x, a discount of almost 30%.Besides the valuation compression, the volatility has also become much quieter recently, adding another reason for considering a heavier bet on the tech sector. As you can see from the second chart below, the volatility index has subdued substantially YTD, decreasing from the 30+ level routinely seen at the earlier part of the year to the current level of 22.4x. To provide broader context, a volatility of 30 is at the top 93% percentile of historical volatility. While 22 is at about 71% percentile. The major reason for the quieter volatility is Fed’s recent rate movements and comments, which are consistent with market expectations and also provide clarity for the near term. And as detailed in our earlier article, when volatility is high, it’s a good idea to hunker down and vice versa.Against this backdrop, we will look at the pros and cons of SOXX and QQQ more closely next.Seeking AlphaYahoo FinanceSOXX vs QQQ: basic informationQQQ needs little introduction. It is one of the most popular funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. However, as aforementioned, many investors are unaware that QQQ is not a pure-tech play because the NASDAQ 100 index tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. I will table this for now and come back to this point later.SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play completely concentrated in the semiconductor sector. As detailed in the fund description:The iShares Semiconductor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the semiconductor sector. It provides exposure to U.S. companies that design, manufacture, and distribute semiconductors and targeted access to domestic semiconductor stocks. It is used to express a sector view.Source: ETF.comSOXX vs QQQ: Past performance and risksBoth the SOXX and QQQ funds have delivered handsome returns in the past as you can see from the chart below. SOXX has delivered an annual return of 10.12% since its inception in 2022, and QQQ has delivered a slightly higher CAGR of 11.5%. Both outperformed the S&P 500 by a good margin of about 2% to 3%.When compounded over the past decade, such an alpha has accumulated into a sizable difference in total return. With dividends reinvested, SOXX has delivered a total return of 720% and QQQ more than 930%, far higher than the S&P 500’s 525%.Although the downside is their price volatilities. We’ve already seen a glimpse of their price volatility in the short term in the previous section already in the past year. As you can see in the long term, both SOXX and QQQ have suffered much larger volatility than the S&P 500 too. And SOXX in particular has suffered by far the largest volatility. In terms of standard deviation, it's 27% is almost double that of the SP 500 (14%) and has also been higher than QQQ by about a whole 8%. In terms of worst-year performance, SOXX suffered a 51% loss (which will take more than a 100% rally to breakeven), which was 10% more than QQQ and 14% more than SP 500. And finally, in terms of maximum drawdown, SOXX’s 62% maximum drawdown (which takes a 163% rally to break even) is truly nerve-wracking. In contrast, both QQQ and SP 500 were in the 50% range.And next, we will see that the root cause of the volatilities is in their fundamental indexing methods.Portfolio VisualizerSOXX vs QQQ: More concentrated bet on TechAs aforementioned, QQQ tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. As you can see from the chart below, information technology represents 49.8% of QQQ’s total assets, followed by communication services at 17.7%, and consumer discretionary at 14.9%. Admittedly, some of the companies in communication services and consumer discretionary are also tech companies. Nonetheless, information technology only represents a minor majority of the farm. Note that QQQ also holds a good portion of consumer staples, healthcare, industrials, and utilities.SOXX and QQ fund fact sheetsSOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play. The fund is completely invested in the tech sector, especially the semiconductor sector. As you can see, it invests more than 79.1% of its total assets in semiconductor stocks and more than 20.6% in semiconductor equipment. Furthermore, its holdings are also more concentrated. SOXX holds a total of 32 stocks and QQQ about 100.You can also see the concentration and composition more vividly by looking at their top ten holdings. One of their top 10 holdings overlaps: Nvidia (NVDA). But NVDA represents an 8.3% allocation in SOXX, in contrast to only 3.28% in QQQ. Also note that QQQ’s top holdings include stables like Costco (COST) and PepsiCo (PEP), while all SOXX holdings are semiconductor stocks.To me, this is key for SOXX’s long-term performance. It places concentrated bet one of the most innovative sectors: information technologies. For this reason and the current valuation, I see favorable odds for SOXX to keep outperforming S&P 500 in the long term. I also see good odds for it to outperform QQQ too, as to be detailed next.But again, before we turn the page, investors need to be aware of the volatility risks and to pick the right fund for their timeframe and risk tolerance.Source: ETF.comSOXX vs QQQ: valuation comparisonAs aforementioned, SOXX has historically been traded at a premium relative to both S&P 500 and QQQ because of its growth potential. However, recent price corrections have brought its valuation to a discount. SOXX’s current P/E of 15.45x is ~17% discounted from the S&P 500. And as the next table shows, the discount from QQQ is even larger.The price-to-earnings ratio of SOXX is 15.4x only, below QQQ’s 22.0x by about a whopping 30%. Other metrics paint the same picture. The price-to-cash flow ratio of SOXX is 19.5x, below QQQ’s 22.8x by about 15%. And price-to-book value ratio of SOXX is 7.13x, below QQQ’s 8.93x by about 20%, despite SOXX’s higher ROE of 46% vs 40% of QQQ. Finally, do not be alarmed by SOXX’s higher price-to-sales ratio. Its price-to-sales ratio of 6.23x is higher than QQQ by about 35%, but its net margin is higher by 90%.AuthorFinal thoughts and risksThere are good reasons to start considering the tech sector now. QQQ has never been a bad choice with its low fee, broad market representation, and excellent liquidity. However, more aggressive investors with a long timeframe might want to consider SOXX also given the valuation correction and the quieter volatility ahead. SOXX has historically enjoyed a valuation premium over the overall market. But its current is ~17% discounted from the S&P 500 and about 30% from the QQQ.Finally, risks. If you recall from an earlier chart, SOXX charges an expense ratio of 0.4%, and QQQ charges a lower expense ratio of 0.2% only. The extra fee will always create a drag on SOXX (0.2% per year). Also note that SOXX also has a much higher turnover ratio than QQQ (32% vs 8.9%), which might have tax implications for some accounts.Seeking Alpha","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":395,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9043083785,"gmtCreate":1655856403247,"gmtModify":1676535717934,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏼","listText":"👍🏼","text":"👍🏼","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043083785","repostId":"1156996750","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":814,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4113904591642392","authorId":"4113904591642392","name":"LMSunshine","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0ad636f2490d8428fcee9da6d669e46c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4113904591642392","authorIdStr":"4113904591642392"},"content":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓","text":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓","html":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9057619367,"gmtCreate":1655510600759,"gmtModify":1676535652561,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"✨✨✨","listText":"✨✨✨","text":"✨✨✨","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9057619367","repostId":"9022524674","repostType":1,"repost":{"id":9022524674,"gmtCreate":1653552819200,"gmtModify":1676535303082,"author":{"id":"3527667667103859","authorId":"3527667667103859","name":"TigerEvents","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c266ef25181ace18bec1262357bbe1a8","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3527667667103859","authorIdStr":"3527667667103859"},"themes":[],"title":"Time Travel with Tiger, Join the Memorabilia Adventure Now!!!","htmlText":"\n \n \n  Happy Birthday to TIGER!!!

CrowdStrike Holdings\n\nEarnings Date: Tuesday, Aug. 31\nEPS Growth Estimate: +166.6% Y-o-Y\nRevenue Growth Estimate: +62.4% Y-o-Y\nYear-To-Date Performance: +9.9%\nMarket Cap: $52.5 Billion\n\nCrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.—which has beaten Wall Street’s sales estimates in every quarter since going public in June 2019—is scheduled to report its latest financial results after the U.S. market closes on Tuesday, Aug. 31.\nConsensus expectations call for the cloud-based cybersecurity specialist, whose technology is used to detect and prevent security breaches, to post earnings per share (EPS) of $0.08 for the second quarter, improving roughly 167% from EPS of $0.03 in the year-ago period.\nMeanwhile, revenue is forecast to jump around 62% year-over-year to an all-time high of $323.3 million, reflecting the ongoing surge in demand for its Falcon cybersecurity platform.\nBeyond the top-and-bottom line numbers, investors will keep an eye on growth in CrowdStrike’s total subscription customers. The endpoint security leader—which counts nearly half of the Fortune 100 companies as clients—said it had a total of 11,420 customers as of the end of its last quarter, up 82% year-over-year.\nMarket players will also pay close attention to the cyber company’s outlook for the rest of the year as it looks to be one of the main beneficiaries of the ongoing increase in cybersecurity spending amid the rampant surge in cyberattacks.\nCRWD Daily Stock Chart\nShares of the Sunnyvale, California-based company, which soared 324% in 2020 thanks to a growing wave of enterprise cybersecurity spending during the COVID pandemic, have seen their ascent slow this year, climbing just 9.9% in 2021.\nCRWD stock ended Tuesday’s session at $232.64, earning the company a valuation of $52.5 billion. At current levels, shares remain about 14.5% below their all-time high of $272.63 reached on July 23.\n2. Okta\n\nEarnings Date: Wednesday, Sept. 1\nEPS Growth Estimate: -600% Y-o-Y\nRevenue Growth Estimate: +48% Y-o-Y\nYear-To-Date Performance: -9.3%\nMarket Cap: $35.3 Billion\n\nOkta Inc., which beat expectations for earnings and revenue for its last quarter in late May, but provided weak guidance and announced the departure of its chief financial officer, is slated to next report financial results after the closing bell on Wednesday, Sept. 1.\nConsensus calls for a loss per share of $0.35 for the second quarter, compared to earnings of $0.07 per share in the year-ago period, due mostly to the impact of its recent $6.5 billion acquisition of Auth0, which provides an identity management platform for application builders.\nRevenue is forecast to jump 48% year-over-year to an all-time high of $296.7 million, thanks to strong demand from large enterprises for its cloud-based identity and access management software.\nAs such, investors will focus on Okta’s subscription software revenue, which grew 38% in the last quarter to $240 million, amid the shift to remote work during the ongoing health crisis.\nIn addition to EPS and revenue, market participants will scrutinize the company’s update regarding its outlook for the months ahead. The identity-and-access management specialist projected a loss in a range of $1.13 to $1.16 per share for fiscal 2022 in the last quarter. It forecast full-year revenue of $1.22 billion at its midpoint of guidance, representing growth of 46% year-over-year.\nOKTA Daily Chart\nOKTA stock closed at $230.56 last night, roughly 22% below its record peak of $294.00 touched in mid-February. At current levels, the San Francisco, California-based cybersecurity company has a market cap of $35.3 billion.\nAfter seeing its stock surge 120% in 2020 thanks to robust demand for its cybersecurity platform, Okta shares are down nearly 9% year-to-date as investor sentiment cooled on high-growth tech shares which rallied throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.\n3. DocuSign\n\nEarnings Date: Thursday, Sept. 2\nEPS Growth Estimate: +135.3% Y-o-Y\nRevenue Growth Estimate: +42.8% Y-o-Y\nYear-To-Date Performance: +28.5%\nMarket Cap: $55.6 Billion\n\nDocusign—which shattered profit and sales records in the last quarter because of soaring demand for its e-signature platform—is projected to report financial results for its fiscal second quarter on Thursday, Sept. 2 after the close.\nConsensus estimates call for the software-as-a-service company to post earnings per share of $0.40, improving 135% from EPS of $0.17 in the year-ago period.\nRevenue is expected to jump about 43% year-over-year to a record $488.7 million, thanks to strong demand for its Agreement Cloud e-signature platform amid the shift to remote work.\nIn addition to the top- and bottom-line numbers, market players will also focus on DocuSign’s update regarding its enterprise customer additions to see if it can maintain its torrid pace of growth. The company announced in its Q1 earnings report that clients with annual contract values of greater than $300,000 grew roughly 30% from the year-ago period to 673.\nInvestors will also concentrate on comments from DocuSign’s management regarding the outlook for the current quarter and beyond, as the existing operating environment has created a perfect backdrop for the e-signature giant to thrive.\nDOCU Daily Chart\nDOCU stock, which reached a record high of $314.49 on Aug. 10, ended at $285.58 yesterday, earning the San Francisco, California-based tech company a valuation of $55.6 billion.\nDocuSign shares have been a big winner amid the pandemic, rising 200% in 2020, as the shift to the work-from-home environment led to more companies signing contracts electronically over the internet. Year-to-date, DOCU has gained another 28.5%, easily outperforming the broader market.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":483,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831944352,"gmtCreate":1629283558976,"gmtModify":1676529990470,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831944352","repostId":"1139536363","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":329,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831944065,"gmtCreate":1629283539057,"gmtModify":1676529990468,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831944065","repostId":"1139536363","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":300,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9043083785,"gmtCreate":1655856403247,"gmtModify":1676535717934,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍🏼","listText":"👍🏼","text":"👍🏼","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9043083785","repostId":"1156996750","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156996750","pubTimestamp":1655853437,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156996750?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-22 07:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Bank of America Says It’s Time to Buy Palantir (PLTR) Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156996750","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Palantir(NYSE:PLTR) is rising after Bank of America initiated coverage of the data analytics company","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li><b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) is rising after Bank of America initiated coverage of the data analytics company with a &#34;buy&#34; recommendation.</li><li>PLTR stock has fallen more than 50% year-to-date to trade near $8.80 per share.</li><li>The Denver, Colorado-based company has struggled to meet Wall Street expectations for its earnings.</li></ul><p>Shares of <b>Palantir</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PLTR</u></b>) are up 4% today after <b>Bank of America</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BAC</u></b>) upgraded PLTR stock to a“buy” recommendation.</p><p>Bank of America said the Denver, Colorado-based data analytics company should benefit from growing demand for artificial intelligence platforms.

At the start of May, PLTR stock fell 21% in a single trading session after the company delivered a weaker-than-expected revenue outlook and missed analyst forecasts for its first-quarter financial results. Palantir reported earnings per share (EPS) of 2 cents versus an expected 4 cents, according to Refinitiv data.Palantir’s Q1 revenue came in at $446 million versus the $443 million that was expected on the Street. Worse, the company forecast $470 million of revenue for the second quarter, which is below analyst expectations of $483.7 million.Other Analyst Ratings of PLTR StockBank of America isn’t the only firm to update its rating on PLTR stock recently. Other ratings on the company’s shares include the following:Morgan Stanley(NYSE:MS) has an “equal weight” rating and a $16 price target on Palantir stock, implying 81% upside from current levels.Piper Sandler(NYSE:PIPR) holds an “overweight” rating on PLTR stock and also has a $16 price target on the shares.Monness Crespi & Hardtrecentlyinitiated coverage of Palantirwith a “buy” rating and a $20 price target, which would be 126% higher than where the stock currently trades.The median price target on PLTR stock is currently $11 per share, which implies 24% growth over the next 12 months. The stock currently has six “hold” ratings, four “buy” ratings and three “sell” ratings.While Palantir might have a bright future, its stock is held back by the fact the company continues to miss Wall Street expectations for its earnings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":814,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4113904591642392","authorId":"4113904591642392","name":"LMSunshine","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0ad636f2490d8428fcee9da6d669e46c","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4113904591642392","authorIdStr":"4113904591642392"},"content":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓","text":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓","html":"Thanks for leaving a comment in my post, appreciate it loads 🤗 Check out other posts on my homepage & please help to like, many thanks 🤓"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9005247110,"gmtCreate":1642328075314,"gmtModify":1676533701583,"author":{"id":"4092383030555360","authorId":"4092383030555360","name":"AppleLove","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a1d579bae2e97f3041bcb6b3d18d9d81","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4092383030555360","authorIdStr":"4092383030555360"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","listText":"[Happy]&nbsp;","text":"[Happy]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005247110","repostId":"2203201745","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2203201745","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1642201908,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2203201745?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-15 07:11","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Dow Closes Lower after Disappointing Bank Results","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2203201745","media":"Reuters","summary":"The Dow closed lower with a big drag from financial stocks as investors were disappointed by fourth quarter results from big U.S. banks, which cast a shadow over the earnings season kick-off.The Nasda","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The Dow closed lower with a big drag from financial stocks as investors were disappointed by fourth quarter results from big U.S. banks, which cast a shadow over the earnings season kick-off.</p><p>The Nasdaq and the S&amp;P regained lost ground in afternoon trading to close higher.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) has historically been traded at a premium relative to the overall market. For example, back in March 2022, SOXX was trading at a P/E of about 31.5x and SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) at about 26.5x according to Yahoo Finance data. However, recent corrections have brought SOXX P/E to the current level of 15.45x, about a 17% discount from the S&amp;P 500’s 18.4x.</p><p>And you will see next that the discount from the NASDAQ 100 index, represented by the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), is even larger. To wit, SOXX suffered a total loss of 18.6% YTD and QQQ about 22% as you can see from the following chart. Combined with earnings changes, the valuation of SOXX now stands at 15.45x and QQQ at 22.01x, a discount of almost 30%.</p><p>Besides the valuation compression, the volatility has also become much quieter recently, adding another reason for considering a heavier bet on the tech sector. As you can see from the second chart below, the volatility index has subdued substantially YTD, decreasing from the 30+ level routinely seen at the earlier part of the year to the current level of 22.4x. To provide broader context, a volatility of 30 is at the top 93% percentile of historical volatility. While 22 is at about 71% percentile. The major reason for the quieter volatility is Fed’s recent rate movements and comments, which are consistent with market expectations and also provide clarity for the near term. And as detailed in our earlier article, when volatility is high, it’s a good idea to hunker down and vice versa.</p><p>Against this backdrop, we will look at the pros and cons of SOXX and QQQ more closely next.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f72c63da0a7d8eedbc184b0660f4407\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"403\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Seeking Alpha</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4b248f56895c6032b2da0df332ea2136\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"284\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Yahoo Finance</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: basic information</b></p><p>QQQ needs little introduction. It is one of the most popular funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. However, as aforementioned, many investors are unaware that QQQ is not a pure-tech play because the NASDAQ 100 index tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. I will table this for now and come back to this point later.</p><p>SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play completely concentrated in the semiconductor sector. As detailed in the fund description:</p><blockquote>The iShares Semiconductor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the semiconductor sector. It provides exposure to U.S. companies that design, manufacture, and distribute semiconductors and targeted access to domestic semiconductor stocks. It is used to express a sector view.</blockquote><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e966fca4e88cd458f9c755dfd52b8913\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"408\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Source: ETF.com</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: Past performance and risks</b></p><p>Both the SOXX and QQQ funds have delivered handsome returns in the past as you can see from the chart below. SOXX has delivered an annual return of 10.12% since its inception in 2022, and QQQ has delivered a slightly higher CAGR of 11.5%. Both outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by a good margin of about 2% to 3%.</p><p>When compounded over the past decade, such an alpha has accumulated into a sizable difference in total return. With dividends reinvested, SOXX has delivered a total return of 720% and QQQ more than 930%, far higher than the S&amp;P 500’s 525%.</p><p>Although the downside is their price volatilities. We’ve already seen a glimpse of their price volatility in the short term in the previous section already in the past year. As you can see in the long term, both SOXX and QQQ have suffered much larger volatility than the S&amp;P 500 too. And SOXX in particular has suffered by far the largest volatility. In terms of standard deviation, it&#39;s 27% is almost double that of the SP 500 (14%) and has also been higher than QQQ by about a whole 8%. In terms of worst-year performance, SOXX suffered a 51% loss (which will take more than a 100% rally to breakeven), which was 10% more than QQQ and 14% more than SP 500. And finally, in terms of maximum drawdown, SOXX’s 62% maximum drawdown (which takes a 163% rally to break even) is truly nerve-wracking. In contrast, both QQQ and SP 500 were in the 50% range.</p><p>And next, we will see that the root cause of the volatilities is in their fundamental indexing methods.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e3142137b9f8dc11b7c904ca806134bb\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"413\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>Portfolio Visualizer</p><p><b>SOXX vs QQQ: More concentrated bet on Tech</b></p><p>As aforementioned, QQQ tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. As you can see from the chart below, information technology represents 49.8% of QQQ’s total assets, followed by communication services at 17.7%, and consumer discretionary at 14.9%. Admittedly, some of the companies in communication services and consumer discretionary are also tech companies. Nonetheless, information technology only represents a minor majority of the farm. Note that QQQ also holds a good portion of consumer staples, healthcare, industrials, and utilities.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3925a655d51f43f4e802067912a50996\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"409\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/></p><p>SOXX and QQ fund fact sheets</p><p>SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play. The fund is completely invested in the tech sector, especially the semiconductor sector. As you can see, it invests more than 79.1% of its total assets in semiconductor stocks and more than 20.6% in semiconductor equipment. Furthermore, its holdings are also more concentrated. SOXX holds a total of 32 stocks and QQQ about 100.</p><p>You can also see the concentration and composition more vividly by looking at their top ten holdings. One of their top 10 holdings overlaps: Nvidia (NVDA). But NVDA represents an 8.3% allocation in SOXX, in contrast to only 3.28% in QQQ. Also note that QQQ’s top holdings include stables like Costco (COST) and PepsiCo (PEP), while all SOXX holdings are semiconductor stocks.</p><p>To me, this is key for SOXX’s long-term performance.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) has historically been traded at a premium relative to the overall market. For example, back in March 2022, SOXX was trading at a P/E of about 31.5x and SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF (SPY) at about 26.5x according to Yahoo Finance data. However, recent corrections have brought SOXX P/E to the current level of 15.45x, about a 17% discount from the S&P 500’s 18.4x.And you will see next that the discount from the NASDAQ 100 index, represented by the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), is even larger. To wit, SOXX suffered a total loss of 18.6% YTD and QQQ about 22% as you can see from the following chart. Combined with earnings changes, the valuation of SOXX now stands at 15.45x and QQQ at 22.01x, a discount of almost 30%.Besides the valuation compression, the volatility has also become much quieter recently, adding another reason for considering a heavier bet on the tech sector. As you can see from the second chart below, the volatility index has subdued substantially YTD, decreasing from the 30+ level routinely seen at the earlier part of the year to the current level of 22.4x. To provide broader context, a volatility of 30 is at the top 93% percentile of historical volatility. While 22 is at about 71% percentile. The major reason for the quieter volatility is Fed’s recent rate movements and comments, which are consistent with market expectations and also provide clarity for the near term. And as detailed in our earlier article, when volatility is high, it’s a good idea to hunker down and vice versa.Against this backdrop, we will look at the pros and cons of SOXX and QQQ more closely next.Seeking AlphaYahoo FinanceSOXX vs QQQ: basic informationQQQ needs little introduction. It is one of the most popular funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index. However, as aforementioned, many investors are unaware that QQQ is not a pure-tech play because the NASDAQ 100 index tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. I will table this for now and come back to this point later.SOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play completely concentrated in the semiconductor sector. As detailed in the fund description:The iShares Semiconductor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the semiconductor sector. It provides exposure to U.S. companies that design, manufacture, and distribute semiconductors and targeted access to domestic semiconductor stocks. It is used to express a sector view.Source: ETF.comSOXX vs QQQ: Past performance and risksBoth the SOXX and QQQ funds have delivered handsome returns in the past as you can see from the chart below. SOXX has delivered an annual return of 10.12% since its inception in 2022, and QQQ has delivered a slightly higher CAGR of 11.5%. Both outperformed the S&P 500 by a good margin of about 2% to 3%.When compounded over the past decade, such an alpha has accumulated into a sizable difference in total return. With dividends reinvested, SOXX has delivered a total return of 720% and QQQ more than 930%, far higher than the S&P 500’s 525%.Although the downside is their price volatilities. We’ve already seen a glimpse of their price volatility in the short term in the previous section already in the past year. As you can see in the long term, both SOXX and QQQ have suffered much larger volatility than the S&P 500 too. And SOXX in particular has suffered by far the largest volatility. In terms of standard deviation, it's 27% is almost double that of the SP 500 (14%) and has also been higher than QQQ by about a whole 8%. In terms of worst-year performance, SOXX suffered a 51% loss (which will take more than a 100% rally to breakeven), which was 10% more than QQQ and 14% more than SP 500. And finally, in terms of maximum drawdown, SOXX’s 62% maximum drawdown (which takes a 163% rally to break even) is truly nerve-wracking. In contrast, both QQQ and SP 500 were in the 50% range.And next, we will see that the root cause of the volatilities is in their fundamental indexing methods.Portfolio VisualizerSOXX vs QQQ: More concentrated bet on TechAs aforementioned, QQQ tracks the largest NON-FINANCIAL companies listed on the Nasdaq and many of these companies are not tech companies. As you can see from the chart below, information technology represents 49.8% of QQQ’s total assets, followed by communication services at 17.7%, and consumer discretionary at 14.9%. Admittedly, some of the companies in communication services and consumer discretionary are also tech companies. Nonetheless, information technology only represents a minor majority of the farm. Note that QQQ also holds a good portion of consumer staples, healthcare, industrials, and utilities.SOXX and QQ fund fact sheetsSOXX, in contrast, is a pure tech play. The fund is completely invested in the tech sector, especially the semiconductor sector. As you can see, it invests more than 79.1% of its total assets in semiconductor stocks and more than 20.6% in semiconductor equipment. Furthermore, its holdings are also more concentrated. SOXX holds a total of 32 stocks and QQQ about 100.You can also see the concentration and composition more vividly by looking at their top ten holdings. One of their top 10 holdings overlaps: Nvidia (NVDA). But NVDA represents an 8.3% allocation in SOXX, in contrast to only 3.28% in QQQ. Also note that QQQ’s top holdings include stables like Costco (COST) and PepsiCo (PEP), while all SOXX holdings are semiconductor stocks.To me, this is key for SOXX’s long-term performance. It places concentrated bet one of the most innovative sectors: information technologies. For this reason and the current valuation, I see favorable odds for SOXX to keep outperforming S&P 500 in the long term. I also see good odds for it to outperform QQQ too, as to be detailed next.But again, before we turn the page, investors need to be aware of the volatility risks and to pick the right fund for their timeframe and risk tolerance.Source: ETF.comSOXX vs QQQ: valuation comparisonAs aforementioned, SOXX has historically been traded at a premium relative to both S&P 500 and QQQ because of its growth potential.
