"So 2025, those top picks actually underperformed all three ETFs. First year that our top picks actually did that. And not a surprise, because I think we said. A year ago, this year was going to be harder than the first two years of the bull market. So we're not surprised it underperformed the index. We still beat the NASDAQ with those picks. But just to reiterate, the reason why we left them unchanged for 2024 was that we were trying to preach consistency."

The speaker reviews the 2025 performance of their semiconductor picks, noting that for the first time the portfolio underperformed compared to major semiconductor ETFs. They attribute the weaker performance to a tougher market environment relative to the earlier bullish years, while emphasizing a strategy of consistency by not changing their established picks despite the underperformance.
