Regarding investing in U.S. stock index ETFs, many people say investing or dollar-cost averaging into SPY, but that's a thing of the past, better to go with Q. Since I started investing in U.S. stocks, I almost never trade SPY, this year I removed SPY from my watchlist, and went ALL IN on AI. Why bother with SPY?
The overall U.S. market index SPY is not as good as the technology index Q.
The tech growth index Q is not as good as the semiconductor index SMH.
The semiconductor index SMH with a large holding of NVDA is not as good as the semiconductor index SOXX with a large holding of MU.
Originally, the trading volume of SMH has always far exceeded that of SOXX, but recently, the trading volume has increased by several hundred million.
