ETFs Experience a Slump while Bargain Hunting Strategies Emerge

The KODEX US Retail Investor ETF has recently plummeted, causing concern among investors. This ETF heavily allocates its assets to major tech stocks such as Tesla and Nvidia and is composed of the top 25 U.S. stocks, making it susceptible to volatile market conditions. The recent price drop is attributed largely to the underperformance of tech stocks, and the strategy of 'buying at the peak before the crash' has faced criticism.
Conversely, some high-return investors are concentrating on bargain buying strategies focused on U.S. big tech and semiconductor-related stocks. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL) and ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) are notably popular among these investors, as they see current tariffs concerns and ensuing tech stock slumps as buying opportunities. Meanwhile, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) is being sold off, as falling interest rates due to policy uncertainty provide opportunities for profit realization, resulting in it being at the top of the sell list.
