2025 Investment Trends That Could Continue in 2026
Next, we got to talk about some important trends that were started in 2025 that could spill over into 2026. Do you have any favorite ETF investment trends or themes or specific industry sectors?
Ron, the semiconductor sector had a strong 2025, and memory chips in particular, like SanDisk and Micron, were phenomenal. Micron (MU) delivered far more than expected. The unlevered Micron (MU) gained 240%, and the two times version (Muyu) was up almost 600%. And while profit taking and corrections will occur eventually, we do believe the strong momentum in Micron will continue.
That said, be extremely careful with individual stocks and especially with leverage. Leveraged single stock ETFs can surprise investors. And for the full year 2025, the two times levered ETFs for Nvidia didn't come anywhere close to two times the unlevered stock return.
What about Soxel? I know that's one that you've tracked and talked about many times in the past. What do you see for Soxel? Well, Soxel had a good year last year, although it also did not give you the full multiple investors might have expected because of all the turbulence in the first half. We are bullish on semiconductors. Our exposure currently is mainly through Micron and a very little bit in Nvidia, but mostly Micron.
