The semiconductor sector has become one of my highest-conviction long-term themes, driven by structural demand that shows no signs of slowing. From AI data centers to edge computing, automotive chips, robotics, and cloud infrastructure, semiconductors sit at the center of every major technological breakthrough of this decade. As companies accelerate capital expenditure on high-performance chips and governments worldwide expand subsidies for strategic manufacturing, the sector continues to demonstrate both resilience and explosive growth potential.
One of the main reasons I'm bullish is the unstoppable momentum behind artificial intelligence. Training and inference workloads are multiplying, pushing hyperscalers to invest heavily in GPUs, custom accelerators, and advanced memory. This demand is not cyclical—it is architectural. Whether it's LLMs, autonomous vehicles, or AI-powered consumer devices, every innovation increases semiconductor intensity. Even during macro uncertainty, chip revenue tied to AI has remained robust, reinforcing my view that this theme has deep multi-year runway.
Another growth engine is the widening adoption of semiconductor content across traditional industries. Automobiles now require more chips than ever, from sensors to power management to compute units. Industrial automation and robotics are also gaining momentum, driving orders for analog, embedded, and microcontroller chips. These long-cycle sectors provide diversification beyond the high-performance computing boom, creating a broader foundation for the industry to outgrow global GDP for years to come.
Given this strong outlook, I've chosen to express my long-term conviction through a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy in SOXL. As a 3× leveraged ETF tracking the semiconductor index, SOXL amplifies both upside potential and volatility. Instead of timing the market—which is especially difficult during sector rotations—I consistently accumulate small positions over time. This helps smooth out price swings, reduce emotional decision-making, and build exposure during both rallies and corrections.
My overall plan is simple: maintain steady DCA contributions, increase buying during meaningful pullbacks, and hold for the multi-year AI-driven growth cycle I expect ahead. SOXL is not a short-term trading vehicle for me but a strategic way to compound returns from one of the most powerful sectors of the modern economy. As long as demand for computing power keeps rising, my conviction in semiconductors—and my commitment to the DCA strategy—remains firmly intact.
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.
