This video breaks down the honest scorecard across all three: SMH for maximum AI mega-cap concentration with TSMC and ASML included, SOXQ for the most cost-efficient buy-and-hold semiconductor exposure, and the one reason SOXX still wins for options sellers β€” tighter bid-ask spreads on a more established options market. All three fell 44 to 45% in 2022, so the sector thesis is compelling and the volatility is documented and not negotiable.
