The S&P 500 is 2.0% below its June 2 all-time high. It has been hovering around 7,500 since May 14. Beneath that calm, momentum stocks have been hard hit. The semiconductor index (SOXX) is down 20.3% from its June 22 peak. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM), which started trading on April 2 around $28 and soared 208% to $80.7 on June 22, is down 35% since then.
