I continue to accumulate SOXL using a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach because it aligns with how I view long-term semiconductor growth rather than short-term price movements. SOXL is inherently volatile due to its leveraged structure, and trying to time perfect entry points is, in my experience, more luck than skill. By spreading my entries over time, I stay invested in the structural upside of the semiconductor cycle without letting short-term noise dictate my decisions.

Another key reason is my conviction in the long-term demand drivers behind semiconductors. AI, data centers, high-performance computing, and advanced manufacturing are not temporary trends—they are becoming core infrastructure for the global economy. While individual companies may rotate in and out of favor, the sector as a whole continues to compound in importance. SOXL allows me to express that conviction in a high-beta way, and DCA helps smooth the inevitable drawdowns along the journey.

Risk management is also central to why I pair SOXL with DCA rather than lump-sum buying. I am fully aware that leverage amplifies both gains and losses, especially during market corrections. DCA forces discipline: I add exposure gradually, avoid emotional overreactions during sharp sell-offs, and reduce the risk of committing too much capital at an unfavorable point in the cycle. This approach keeps my position sizing intentional rather than impulsive.

Ultimately, DCA into SOXL fits my mindset as an investor who prioritizes process over prediction. I am not betting on a straight-line rally or short-term momentum; I am steadily building exposure to a sector I believe will outperform over time, while respecting volatility as the cost of higher potential returns. As long as the long-term semiconductor thesis remains intact, I am comfortable continuing to accumulate patiently and consistently.

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.
