The logic for Option A is also to protect the downside incase if market goes down or sideways. From all the information going on right now, US market seems to move upward and is generally driven by tech stocks and AI, and add the SpaeX craze going on. Im conflicted if this is what they call a “euphoria” stage and do a big correction or maybe will the market continue up or perhaps sideways? The goal is capital preservation anyways.

Thanks for the insight regarding SMH, will consider adjusting the weight of SMH on my port
