To The Moon

I continue to DCA into SOXL during this round of massive pullback because the long-term semiconductor story has not changed. Semiconductors remain the foundation of every major technological trend — from AI and data centers to autonomous vehicles and advanced connectivity — and temporary volatility does not alter their structural importance. When a sector with strong fundamentals undergoes a sharp correction, it creates an opportunity rather than a reason to retreat.

Pullbacks in this industry are not only normal but almost expected. Semiconductors move in cycles, and periods of inventory correction, macro fear, or sentiment-driven selloffs happen regularly. SOXL, being a 3x leveraged ETF, exaggerates these moves, which can look frightening in the short term. However, the same leverage that magnifies the drop also magnifies the eventual recovery, and historically, deep semiconductor downturns have been followed by powerful rebounds.

DCA keeps my emotions out of the process during these volatile moments. Instead of trying to guess the bottom — something even professional investors rarely get right — I simply invest a fixed amount regularly. When prices fall, I accumulate more shares; when prices rise, I accumulate fewer. This discipline allows me to steadily build my position regardless of market noise, avoiding the emotional trap of buying high and panicking low.

Leveraged ETFs like SOXL experience volatility decay, but DCA turns that volatility into an advantage. By buying through the drawdown, I significantly increase the number of shares I hold at lower prices, positioning myself for the eventual upswing. In a sharp recovery phase, these accumulated low-cost shares can drive outsized gains compared to waiting on the sidelines.

Ultimately, I continue DCA-ing because I have a clear plan, a strong conviction in the semiconductor cycle, and an understanding of SOXL's nature. The pullback doesn't invalidate my strategy — it strengthens it. Every downturn improves my long-term risk–reward profile and brings me closer to benefiting from the next wave of semiconductor growth.

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.
