I continue to dollar-cost average into SOXL because it aligns with how I view the long-term trajectory of the semiconductor industry. Chips are no longer just a cyclical tech component—they sit at the core of AI, data centers, cloud computing, autonomous driving, and edge computing. While the semiconductor sector is volatile by nature, the structural demand behind it keeps expanding. By DCA-ing, I'm not trying to time short-term cycles; I'm positioning myself for multi-year growth driven by real technological adoption.

At the same time, SOXL's leverage is exactly why discipline matters. A 3x leveraged ETF magnifies both upside and drawdowns, which makes lump-sum timing extremely unforgiving. DCA helps smooth entry points across different market regimes—fear, consolidation, and momentum phases—reducing the psychological pressure of "getting the timing right." Instead of reacting emotionally to sharp pullbacks, I treat volatility as part of the process and use it to build exposure systematically.

Another reason I stick with DCA on SOXL is that semiconductors tend to lead market recoveries. Historically, when risk appetite returns, capital often flows first into high-beta, growth-sensitive areas. By maintaining a steady position through DCA, I avoid the risk of being under-invested when the trend turns. I'm less concerned with short-term noise and more focused on being present for the bigger moves that matter.

Ultimately, my approach to SOXL reflects a broader investment philosophy: consistency over prediction. I accept that drawdowns are inevitable, especially with leverage, but I also believe that sustained innovation and capital investment in semiconductors will continue. DCA allows me to stay committed to that thesis, manage risk over time, and participate in long-term upside without letting short-term volatility dictate my decisions.

As a retail investor, I focus mainly on the US and Singapore markets, combining a mix of technical trading and long-term investing strategies. I enjoy analyzing charts, spotting patterns, and making calculated moves based on both market sentiment and fundamentals. While I'm not a professional, I treat my portfolio seriously and continue to learn and grow with each trade.
