description: "$Direxion Semicon Bull 3X(SOXL.US) It's been over a year, and I've truly come to understand the principle that the US stock market is always strong—look but don't short! I did the math just now: last year at the same time, I was long 15,000 shares of SOXL with a cost of around $11. I missed a chance to make millions in a year and got hit hard. I can only say it's fate! Before April 1st this year, I still had 1,500 shares of SOXL with a cost of $44. I averaged down all the way from $63 by day trading, and when it fell to $39, I thought it was the bottom. I ended up selling at $55 and even went short twice at $67 and $78, only to get liquidated at $90 and $110. Last night, I made a painful decision to close all my positions. Honestly, I wasn't panicked at all holding SOXL in March. I even made a special trip to Mount Putuo during Qingming Festival to pray and encouraged each other with friends to hold SOXL and not move. She sold at $45, and I even laughed at her. Who would have thought! I can only say losing this money isn't unjust—it might have helped me avoid a major disaster!"

- **新用户哈 · 2026-04-24T13:57:38.000Z**: Got 62 and still holding it now
- **科 · 2026-04-24T09:52:09.000Z**: If it falls this round, go all in long and hold for the long term.
- **科 · 2026-04-24T09:51:27.000Z**: I still think I shouldn't short in the future. Actually, going long and holding for the long term basically makes a lot of money.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T09:57:38.000Z): Firstly, it's unlikely to drop significantly; secondly, high leverage will be shaken out after a few fluctuations; finally, it depends on the proportion of your position.
- **科 · 2026-04-24T09:46:09.000Z**: My short position on TQQQ also lost money. I only had a small position in this one. For US stocks, you can only be bearish, not short. Previously, my A-share Nasdaq ETF broke even. When the US-Iran ceasefire caused a big surge and I broke even, I thought it was going to correct, so I sold everything
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T09:52:06.000Z): Very few people can actually hold onto such a short-term surge, or their positions won't be large, but those with a short-selling mindset will get slaughtered.
  - **科** (2026-04-24T09:57:53.000Z): It's just that the short position is too low, so even if the direction is right, you can't make much money. But when you lose money, it's really intense.
- **放过我吧再也不空啦 · 2026-04-24T08:44:29.000Z**: Are you still in a floating profit? That's amazing.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T08:47:41.000Z): Overall, there was a significant loss, but SOXL ended up being profitable in the end. It's precisely because of this that it became so stubborn, refusing to exit all along.
- **Jerome_V · 2026-04-24T08:17:34.000Z**: I'm still holding on, currently with an unrealized loss of 2.5k…
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T08:28:59.000Z): I've been cut in half twice already, can't hold on anymore, can only leave for now.
- **咕噜咕噜- · 2026-04-24T07:40:16.000Z**: I bought 1000 shares at $10 last April, sold them at $28, couldn't hold on any longer. Later, I recklessly touched Novo Nordisk and UnitedHealth Group, and lost it all back. I've been wanting to buy back SOXL, but there's just no chance.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T07:45:34.000Z): It's really hard to grasp; the US stock market has been manipulated into a meme stock.
- **陈微微 · 2026-04-24T07:16:30.000Z**: US stocks are indeed strong.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T08:29:10.000Z): It's so scary that it feels ridiculous now.
  - **陈微微** (2026-04-24T08:30:58.000Z): This round is really outrageous, I'm still holding my short position and haven't exited yet.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T08:36:42.000Z): Be more cautious, I can't understand it at all, and I don't dare to choose a direction anymore.
- **淡定淡定 · 2026-04-24T07:01:21.000Z · 👍 1**: I bought it at 57, held it for a while, it was volatile, I couldn't hold on and sold it. As soon as I sold, it doubled. Sigh.
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T07:20:45.000Z): It's normal to not be able to hold on, after all, I'm not that familiar with this stock. I made $30k from day trading before opening a short position, and I still didn't hold on. Then opening a short 
  - **淡定淡定** (2026-04-24T08:02:53.000Z): Just like playing with me
  - **Millionaire W** (2026-04-24T08:28:27.000Z): Look at me haha
