TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

Right off the bat, you have heavy exposure to Big Tech. So, while you think you are diversified, you really aren’t diversified at all.
I think you have a pretty solid portfolio but you definitely have some blind spots. Most notably you are missing two of the biggest future bottleneck industries, which are Photonics and Power/Energy Generation.
If I were you, I would sell Amazon and Meta. No need for these stocks and I think both are incredibly overrated.
Instead, if I were you, I would buy GEV- GE Vernova and LITE- Lumentum Holdings. This significantly improves your portfolio construction and brings you into new sectors while at the same time gives you a real chance to achieve better returns than if you were to keep AMZN and META.
Now, your portfolio would consist of:
- NBIS- Neocloud
- MU- Memory
- VRT- Liquid Cooling (future bottleneck)
- GOOGL- One of the absolute best companies in the entire world. Many different revenue streams.
- AVGO- Custom ASICs and Future CPO Giant
- RKLB- Space Economy. Potentially Massive TAM.
- TSM- Foundry and AI Monopoly Giant (Maybe sell this one too)
New Additions:
- GEV- Power/Energy Generation consisting of both Natural Gas and Nuclear plus Electrification.
- LITE- The King Of Photonics. In its Infancy. Just made the S&P 500 in late March and the NASDAQ 100 last week or the week before.
Other Potential Additions To Consider:
- BE- Bloom Energy= Provides off the grid energy for AI Data Centers.
- CAT or FIX- Caterpillar or Comfort Systems USA= These are still AI Infrastructure Plays not ones that are non Technology stocks. You need some of that in your portfolio.
One personal preference is I too would swap TSM for DRAM- Roundhill Memory ETF to gain access to more of the Memory Trade plus the Data Storage names as well.
For the most part, your thinking is in the right place but there are some minor tweaks that you can do that I believe would take your current portfolio, which I would give you a solid “B” or an 84 out of a 100 and I think if you ditched AMZN and META for GEV and LITE, I would then give you an “A-“ grade or an 91/92 out of a 100.
I actually wrote all this out too and these thoughts are of my thoughts and ideas and I personally own many of these stocks including NBIS, VRTV, RKLB, GEV, LITE, DRAM, and BE. I have previously own GOOGL, AVGO, MU, CAT, and FIX until about two weeks when I consolidated my portfolio into the stocks I stated that I own in the sentence prior.
Best of luck OP!

Would appreciate any advice to refine this portfolio. TY! :)

If it dips more I buy more. I entered at $20, didn't trim any at $130, and bought more on Friday at $107. If it dips more I buy more. And wait till at least $150-200+
Intc sells more CPUs than AMD but it's market cap is less than AMD. intc need to be $150 to catch AMD market cap.
But intc has fabs - cutting edge fabs. Apple is the 1st external client. Huge and picky client. Other clients will jump in in 2-4 months.
Even if intc fabs get just 25% of TSM volume/ business (very conservative) then intc market cap will add 25% of TSM 1.9T market cap, which is 0.5T which is another $100/ share.
So AMD + 25% of TSM = $150+$100= $250 - that is very conservative estimate in today's price. AMD and TSM market caps are gonna grow too...

MSFT is a fun one right now, got big investors dumping it, and Ackman buying it. Time will tell what happens but I think it’s silly betting against Microsoft.
Sony had a solid report and TSM partnership announcement. I bought Sony, I think it has more upside.

Never can go wrong with TSM. Fair value x3.

TSM another great choice. The mother of all advanced chips.

Tepper’s moves always interest me. Aggressively boosting concentration in TSM and MU has my attention 👀

Hey everyone,
I’ve been building a high-conviction portfolio focused heavily on the physical and computing layers of AI infrastructure. I’m strictly long-term and don't care about short-term volatility, but I’d love to get some brutal feedback on my allocations.
Here is my current breakdown:
• **Nebius Group (NBIS):** Bought at **$83.46** (currently $219.94). Holding about **99 shares**. Up **+164.53%**.
• **Micron Technology (MU):** Bought at **$267.70** (currently $724.38). Holding **14.6 shares**. Up **+169.76%**.
• **Vertiv Holdings (VRT):** Bought at **€90.17** (currently €319.15). Holding **20 shares**. Up **+253.94%**.
• **Alphabet (GOOGL):** Bought at **$172.23** (currently $396.74). Holding **15.5 shares**. Up **+119.94%**.
• **Broadcom (AVGO):** Bought at **$217.18** (currently $425.65). Holding **12.9 shares**. Up **+89.12%**.
• **Rocket Lab (RKLB):** Bought at **$47.48** (currently $124.74). Holding **43 shares**. Up **+161.22%**.
• **TSMC (TSM):** Bought at **$165.69** (currently $404.50). Holding **10.3 ADRs**. Up **+141.31%**.
• **Amazon (AMZN):** Bought at **$198.53** (currently $264.20). Holding **15.5 shares**. Up **+25.34%**.
• **Meta Platforms (META):** Bought at **$562.99** (currently $614.46). Holding **6 shares**. Up **+5.05%**.
Am I dangerously over-concentrated in one sector, or is this specific infrastructure play the smartest way to exploit the secular AI trend? Let me know your thoughts or where you think I’m blind. Roast my portfolio. Anyone have tips on more stocks to follow i’d also like to hear it!

Here are results from the third week in May of running low delta Short Put Verticals aka Bull Put Credit Spreads!
I closed 42 Trades on 29 tickers for a loss of **-($ 950).**
I had a huge loss on one SPV that I had opened, and nursing, since back in February.
The SPV was on META and when it ITM when market turned down in March, instead I closing and taking the loss , I f'd around with rolling the spread and ended up going out to 5/16/2026.
The long put had grown to $ 6847 in cost.
The loss is not as bad as it looks on paper as treated the long call like a LEAP and sold multiple short calls against it bringing the actual loss on the original spread to a loss of -($2207).
THe lesson that I "***re-learned***" is ***"Stop rolling losing spreads"***.
Here are the highlights of the week:
* **2 losing trade this week out of the 42 for a win rate of 95%**
* **Top profit Ticker - FIX at $ 1,120 and RKLB at $ 715**
* **Top loss Ticker - META at - ($ 6,801)**
* **Average loss per trade - ($23)**
* **Average time held for closed trades - 7 days (META SPV was held for 49 days)**
I have been day trading these spreads closing at 20% profit due to the market instability hence the lower average per spread for this week.
 Here are my rules for trading credit spreads:
* **All SVP's will be opened 35 to 49 DTE**
* **Short put strike chosen at .20 delta or lower (I have been choosing 13/6 deltas for new verticals).**
* **Long put chosen to achieve a net delta of .07**
* ***All the following criteria must be met prior to opening trade***
* **Analysis of spreads Max Profit must show 80% or more probability for Maximum Profit**
* **Analysis of spread's Break Even must show 80%or more probability for Any Profit**
* **Analysis of Max Loss must show 10% or less Probability for Maximum Loss**
* **ROI for premium collected (premium divided by collateral required for spread) must be 10% or more**
My overall portfolio is up **$11,612** (on the books) for the month however I do take distributions on this account (IRA) on Fridays when the balance if above **$ 300,000**.
For the month of May I have taken cash distributions of **$13,500** bringing my actual profit total to **$ 24,012.**
YTD I show a profit of **$ 41,555.14** however I have withdrawn **$29,769** for an actual profit on the year of **$ 71, 374**.

First thing I’d focus on is the bench. Unlike investing, the first 100k (g) in the gym is the easiest.
Portfolio-wise I’d probably take some balanced risk and ride the AI buildout. Think where all the capex goes. No matter whose chip wins, TSM wins. Then I’d look at Memory and photonics too. Some names have run hard, so I’d wait for pullbacks or find ones that haven’t rerated too much yet.

Nah, my kids funds is in about 10 stocks. NVDA, TSM, META, MSFT, GOOGL, RKLB, AMZN, AND+AVGO in place of BRK.(since LIberation weekend), QBTS and RGTI since they were under a buck a share, OKLO, UUUU, FCEL and LIDR. Probably sell AMD, AVGO and add to AMZN, TSM, MSFT.
March 30th I took out leaps on NVDA(163) for 205 by March 30 2027
Same Day, MSFT at 353, 202 contracts on MSFT 500 by March 30, 2027.
200 and 202 contracts. Sold MSFT once it hit about 430 and came back to 425 and NVDA when it crossed 220.
The market has been waay too hot to keep their money in index funds.

Aggressive and tech-heavy ill tell you that. MSFT and TSM are the only relatively stable long-term anchors. The rest are high-volatility bets that will move mostly on sentiments. I’d just make sure your core positions stay the majority. You could check this out on tools out there like tryLattice incase you're unsure or need another insight.

Yesterday I bought AUR, DVLT, IREN, IONQ, MSFT, NBIS, TSM

Think of it this way. Warren Buffett and William danoff pick stocks for their funds and manage to just edge out the total market on average in the long run. And these are the top dedicated professionals in the world at picking stocks. In my years of picking stocks and investing I’ve been up I’ve been down. But to the question, am I that far ahead of where I’d be if I just bought the total market and chilled? Some people answer hell yes. Many many many more answer hell no. It is a full time job worrying about when to trim one sector etf and buy another. Or managing stop losses and tax gains constantly. If I buy a stock in a company it’s because I believe in the company. I want Google to succeed. I want TSM to succeed. I want AMD to succeed. They are “good” imo. Leadership. Values. And balance sheets. I want to own a part of those companies regardless where their price is at. Otherwise I invest in the total market. S and p or nasdaq or the such. That’s how I sleep at night.

I killed it. Sold when TSM gapped down to $393. 😎😁Thanks ! Long PLTR CALLS now

I 100% believe Xi will make his move before Trump leaves office. PLUS, he just warned Trump not to get involved in their little tea party this week. And wha better time while boatloads of armed forces are bogged down indefinitely in Iraq?
I’m thinking of selling my TSM, been in since 2020. What defense stocks do you like?

No, Trumpo WON’T step in; either way TSM stock price will crater. I’m incredibly nervous and thinking of selling mine. Hate to but…

50% of the S&P relies on TSM in that case

I think they were internally forced to sell TSM due to not wanting to be part of political issues. Berkshire is such a huge name in the financial world and I don't think Buffett before he retired wanted to be part of political corruption shenanigans from Trump. US China relationship is iffy and the last thing Buffett wants is to have Americans hate him for supporting "Chyna" (or whatever Taiwan US China relationship is).
