Part I: Retire Earlier I am sure we all have heard this a million times... $SOXL isn't a long-term investment, it's a short-term trading tool. Blah, blah, blah... ➡️ Daily Resets & Volatility Decay: Because leverage resets daily, returns are path-dependent. In choppy markets, volatility decay continually erodes your principal, even if semiconductors ultimately rebound. ➡️ Compounded Risk: You’re taking on 3x amplified losses in an already volatile, cyclical sector, while paying a hefty 0.95% expense ratio plus hidden leverage and derivative costs. ➡️ Brutal Drawdowns: Deep losses require exponentially larger gains just to get back to even. ➡️ Bottom line: $SOXL is built for nimble, actively managed tactical trades, not passive holding. But what if you threw caution to the wind, you DCA'd $100/week into $SOXL from inception date (Mar 11, 2010 to October 23, 2026) instead of $SOXX? Part II. I will post the result in a day or two. #SOXL #SOXX #RetireEarlier
