Semiconductors: Now this is as silly as it gets

Howdy Friend,

 

There's something absurd going on in semiconductors...and no, it's not really the price, even though they've gone up a bunch:

It's not even about the premium of SMH hitting a 2.5-year high, which isn't really that big of a deal:
It's not about the Josh 100 Semiconductor strategy that's up 159% YTD, although that's some serious icing on the cake.

 

I'm NOT even talking about all the ding dongs that keep shorting the stocks with the highest Relative Strength and then claim the markets are "rigged" when they get their heads handed to 'em (although that's pretty dumb).

 

No, I'm talking talking about something silly that came up in my research...I'm talking about GraniteShares single stock leveraged ETFs. I can't figure out why they exist!

 

For example, you can use them to trade stocks like NVDA, AAPL, COIN, and BABA with a bit of leverage. Why not just trade SOXL/SOXS 3x leveraged ETFs? That way you can trade the whole sector with a smaller amount of money. Maybe I'm wrong because there's an inverse NVDA ETF (NVDS) ran by AXS that trades millions of shares per day. 

 

If I end up starting a hedge fund, I'll trade anything as long as 1) It's liquid 2) there's enough data 3) it's predictable using machine learning. Several members ended up starting their own "Personal Hedge Fund" this year. Danny Bell was up a cool 18.15% last month. Here's his brokerage statement:

Peter S. was up 14.22%.

I'll have to ask them if they were in semiconductors while all the "valuation" guys were shorting NVDA and getting crushed.
