In reply to johnv. To short the semis you can either short one of the ETFs (SOXX, SMH or XSD) or any of the individual stocks or buy (go long) one of the short ETFs such as SSG or SOXS. If you are not familiar with shorting stocks, I would highly suggest reading up on it via a web search. Most brokers also have educational article on shorting stocks.

In reply to snp. Unfortunately, not in an IRA or other non-margin account.

In reply to johnv. SSG is a 2x short semi ETF that you can use if you don't want so much leverage. There might be a 1x inverse/short ETF as well although I don't know of one offhand.
