$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ SOXS is one of those leveraged ETFs that tends to work against people who hold it too long. The structure itself is built to decay over time, with daily resets and negative roll yield eating away at value. The reverse splits aren't random, they are a direct result of how these funds are designed. The green moves are usually temporary. These products bleed value over time, which makes put options an interesting way to play their structural weaknesses rather than trying to time the bounces perfectly. A lot of retail traders get drawn into these setups and end up stuck on the wrong side when the floor drops out.

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ STO 1 Nov 6 120p @ 4.30. That's a much higher strike than I would normally go with, but I have a large position in SOXL, so I can take the risk. Either way, I come out ahead.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ I'm considering going all-in on calls. It just hit me that Trump and Jensen will never let this collapse, so it should be guaranteed, and it's not like previous years when AI was still mostly in development.
NQHigh oil prices and a rising 10Y yield haven't stopped Nasdaq futures from making a new all-time high. But under the surface, it's mostly the heavily weighted large caps driving the index to record levels, while plenty of rate-sensitive names are still struggling. So during a high-rate period like this, it makes sense to stick with top large-cap growth tech names that carry little debt and hold a lot of cash. Once inflation and rates start to fade, that's when beaten-down high-growth rate-sensitive stocks could get more interesting. $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $ProShares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ)$ $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$
