$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ 117.11Up 1.43, or 1.3%, and really moving now. It covered almost the entire day session range from the 112.25 low, then rallied $5 through VWAP to the top of the range. I wish I had bought more on the VWAP break. I keep getting fooled by how slow it trades during the day, and I wasn't expecting this kind of move, but it's nice to see. Trimming some here and holding some in case it wants to push toward 120 tonight.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ A lot of self-proclaimed experts keep telling people to sell semis. I have been around this market longer than at least 80 percent of them. Bubbles can run much longer and much further than most expect. I think new highs are coming by December-March. There will probably be at least one more big volatility pullback along the way, but this is not over yet.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ 116.91SKHY up 5.76, or 5.2%, and it is running hard into the close again, which is dragging the other memory chip names higher with it. DRAM and related 2X ETFs are moving up faster than SOXL. That was the best overnight play, but I am not a fan of the memory chip stocks themselves, and I would rather just use them to trade SOXL. SKHY has added $9 during the overnight session to $159.78, and it looks like it has its own short squeeze going. It initially dropped on news that it could not reach a wage deal with workers, but that turned out to be a bear trap, because it has been rallying hard since then. The overnight session has been much better than the day session for chips.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ Any chance this hits $127-128 Monday? I have a ton of $125 strike calls expiring 8/26 that are in negative. It has tested the $117 support three times already. I was hoping for a slight push Monday morning since it always seems to crash after the open. Any positive thoughts? I know it is a risky bet and it was dumb, but I am already in it so please don't tell me the obvious. If you could guide on a strategy to get out of it, that is what I want to hear.
