To The Moon

The recent pullback in semiconductor stocks hasn't changed my long-term conviction—in fact, it's given me another opportunity to continue dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into SOXL. While leveraged ETFs are naturally more volatile, I believe the long-term AI infrastructure cycle is still in its early stages. Temporary concerns over AI spending, valuation resets, or profit-taking don't change the structural demand for GPUs, HBM memory, networking, power management, and advanced chip manufacturing. As long as the long-term trend remains intact, I'm comfortable using market weakness to gradually build my position.

One of the biggest reasons I'm staying committed is that AI demand is becoming much broader than just one company. Hyperscalers continue investing aggressively in AI data centers, sovereign AI projects are expanding globally, and enterprise AI adoption is accelerating. Every major AI model ultimately relies on semiconductor innovation, benefiting companies across the chip ecosystem. SOXL gives me diversified exposure to this entire theme instead of relying on a single stock, allowing me to participate in the industry's long-term growth.

Another reason I continue to DCA is that market pullbacks are often driven more by sentiment than by changes in business fundamentals. We've seen investors rotate between software, cloud, infrastructure, and semiconductors many times before. These rotations can create attractive entry points for long-term investors who are willing to look beyond short-term volatility. Rather than trying to perfectly time the bottom, I prefer adding gradually because nobody consistently predicts where the exact turning point will be.

Of course, I fully understand that SOXL is a 3x leveraged ETF and isn't suitable for everyone. It requires disciplined position sizing, patience, and a strong conviction in the underlying semiconductor cycle. My strategy isn't about chasing quick gains but about accumulating during periods of fear while keeping risk under control. If the AI investment cycle continues over the coming years as I expect, today's volatility may eventually look like another opportunity that rewarded patient investors.

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.
