Will VT tank severly when correction on semiconductors comes?

Hi. I'm not saying we have a bubble, this post is just about the volatility of VT vs the entire market which is now heavily driven by semiconductors sector.

So slow incline, but shall the equally slow decline be expected or will it tank as much as these sector ETFs when investors take money from the entire stock market? Trying to understand the significance of diversification here. submitted by /u/Unarmore
