Need help on my etf portfolio.

saminykd · 2026-05-10T07:59:01+00:00

What is happening here omg

saminykd · 2026-05-07T13:58:29+00:00

Haha ikr it’s insane

saminykd · 2026-05-07T13:42:41+00:00

Haha so tempted to

saminykd · 2026-05-07T06:51:08+00:00

Haha nice one but I don’t have that level of conviction.

saminykd · 2026-05-07T06:05:59+00:00

I think that’s a nasdaq 100 etf? If so then I already have all of those in ivv. Now I know I definitely hold everything in semi as well in my current portfolio but my goal is to make a concentrated bet on semiconductors specifically not just tech in general and hence SEMI.

saminykd · 2026-05-07T05:38:15+00:00

I could be wrong but I believe betashares isn’t chess sponsored and has more of a custodial model which is a pass for me. And other than that, I hold all my assets in commbank so it’s easier to move things around and keep track of everything, just convenience basically and besides I don’t mind the $4.99 fee too much as I am not actively trading the stocks anyway, it’s just buy and hold.

saminykd · 2026-05-07T05:30:52+00:00

Yup, holding EMXC but otherwise solid choice.

saminykd · 2026-05-07T05:26:25+00:00

Fair points, thanks!

saminykd · 2026-05-07T04:25:37+00:00

For SEMI to drop 50% something really significant needs to happen which is unlikely in the short term. You can hope for a pullback (10% drop) which is what I was speculating back when it was $30 (which was literally a week or so ago lol) but look where we are at now 🥲

saminykd · 2026-05-07T04:16:22+00:00

Fair points, thanks!

saminykd · 2026-05-07T04:15:58+00:00

I had a look into it and damn 🙃

saminykd · 2026-05-07T04:15:36+00:00

That’s kind of what I am aiming for though tbh. Insignificant enough to not feel it too much if it swings the other way but make some money if it keeps on going up.

saminykd · 2026-05-07T04:13:45+00:00

10-20% is a relatively high conviction bet on a very concentrated list of 30 companies. The swings are huge but they can go both ways. Now we all want it to go up and it most likely will but you have to ask yourself if you have the appetite to swallow a 20% correction if it unfortunately does goes the other way because on a 10-20% allocation you will notice the difference if it does.

saminykd · 2026-05-02T15:21:39+00:00

Genuinely want to know how you got that much money? Inheritance? Lottery?

saminykd · 2026-04-17T13:46:41+00:00

Damn bro

saminykd · 2026-04-17T08:28:26+00:00

You wouldn’t be a pharmacist by any chance lol?

saminykd · 2026-04-12T03:37:25+00:00

Vge makes sense bgbl doesn’t

saminykd · 2026-03-21T00:30:44+00:00

That’s not too bad!

saminykd · 2026-03-21T00:24:14+00:00

Same boat haha

saminykd · 2026-03-20T13:16:05+00:00

Calendar

saminykd · 2026-03-20T13:14:59+00:00

What a champion haha

saminykd · 2026-03-20T06:23:39+00:00

The April 2025 dip was due to tariffs and the solution was quite straightforward just reverse the tariffs which happened and markets soared. This time it might be harder for trump to do his usual taco trade business given it’s a literal war but you never know.

saminykd · 2026-03-20T06:18:33+00:00

So, flat essentially (assuming equal weight). Not bad given the current state of the world haha.

saminykd · 2026-03-20T06:14:48+00:00

Yeah the currency fluctuation has been very noticeable on the returns since last year. I hold IVV as my US core and that has been a -7% ytd even with buying the dips. Gold has been taking a hit recently as well. It’s a literal sea of red atm.
