I continue to build my SOXL position through a DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) approach because it keeps my decision-making disciplined in an otherwise emotional market. Semiconductor stocks are notoriously volatile, and trying to time perfect entries often leads to hesitation or regret. By investing at regular intervals, I remove short-term noise from the equation and allow time—rather than prediction—to work in my favor.
Another key reason is my long-term conviction in the semiconductor cycle itself. AI, cloud computing, autonomous systems, and data-center expansion are not short-lived trends; they are structural drivers that will likely play out over many years. While SOXL amplifies both upside and downside, DCA helps smooth the impact of drawdowns and lets me gradually accumulate exposure during periods of weakness instead of being forced into all-or-nothing decisions.
Volatility, which scares many investors away from leveraged ETFs, is precisely why DCA makes sense here. Sharp pullbacks feel uncomfortable, but they also reset risk-reward and create opportunities to lower my average cost. Rather than reacting emotionally to headlines or daily price swings, I treat volatility as part of the process—something to manage with position sizing and time, not something to fear.
Ultimately, this approach fits my broader investment mindset: patient, systematic, and forward-looking. I'm not chasing short-term hype, nor am I betting everything on a single entry point. By consistently DCA-ing into SOXL, I align my strategy with both my conviction in the sector and my respect for risk, allowing compounding and market cycles to do the heavy lifting over time.
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. If you're also navigating the markets and enjoy discussing stocks, options, or market trends, feel free to follow me. Let's learn and grow together as a community.
