$VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH.US) -1.9%

I think everyone is really waiting for a Semis to Software rotation, but I’m not sure we easily get one…

Do I think software is cheap? Yes. The software names like $Palantir Tech(PLTR.US) $AppLovin(APP.US) $Datadog(DDOG.US) also proved great earnings.

Are the semiconductor names overextended? I mean, look at the charts. However, their earnings have also been INCREDIBLE.

It doesn’t feel YET like the market can have $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH.US) and $iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF(IGV.US) rally together, I think the only reason $iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF(IGV.US) is up is because $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH.US) is down.

But if they were to rally together…it would probably be net new capital coming into the broader market vs people selling their semis to buy software or selling software to buy semis.

Just one day, likely need much more data to see if a rotation is happening…

Are you buying software over semis here? Rotating? Adding on dips?
