TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

Mag 7 and friends. All your stock picks (except V and TSM) are already in QQQ.
If you want to stock pick, buy only those where you're fairly confident will outperform ETFs (within your desired time horizon)

SpaceX is a success story because it is a global leader in an impossibly difficult sector. Valuation seems questionable, but i havent really run through the numbers myself. I do not think the TTM will not be useful for it.
You are hand waving away the bleeding edge research if you are talking about The cat paper to now. That it needed that truck load of money is proof that capitalist markets do push innovation. Because google and nvda had been quietly setting the ground work for ai for almost a decade and eating that cost.
As far as Intel, at least they got equity for the bail out is the only good thing to say. Going forward that is better than the free money of the past. TSM was literally stood up by the Taiwanese government so it was never exactly an even playing field. Intel has been poorly managed for years though.
No one is forced to buy spacex. But I would own spacex before mstr which has been in the nasdaq since 2024.
I think people are confused these days about what the market is. It is just a financial vehicle. In fact, companies who forget that and actually try and raise through the public are often punished severely. The real capital markets are venture funding. That is where the value is discovered. But you do see it in public markets on occasion. Palantir and nvda both had their true value discovery in the public markets.

No. I sell covered calls. If China invades TSM stock would likely (short term) plummet. So the covered calls I sold with high strike prices would go to $1 and I’d be pretty much guaranteed profit. While watching my holdings plummet.

I would think the immediate reaction would be a serious drop in its share price. China control would automatically make things risky for TSM in the short term, that’s really my only fear with that stock but honestly it would probably be a good buying opportunity

Bought Micron in November (and s few other like Dell, Nokia, Lumentum, Amd, Amat, Lcrx) last year but sold all in January 😅 being confident something will rise is one thing but seeing it go like 3 or 4x is another. I d say TSM is a safe bet, probably not gonna moonshot but some upside from increased capacity announcements + price increases imo and realization that Intel s plan is just so far in the future. Then hyperscaler for long term given the valuations. The boom in semiconductor was a bit of a once in a lifetime opportunity imo (strong consensus, structural support from capex readability) difficult to replicate from there.

Splitting it into compute/memory/foundry/equipment is the right way to think about it - these don't all move together and the timing on each is completely different.
One thing worth looking at alongside individual names is SMH, the semiconductor ETF - it holds NVDA, ASML, TSM, MU and the rest in one package. $1.8B flowed into it just last week, which suggests institutional interest hasn't dried up despite the run.

Technically SMH is sitting around $611 with the sector already up about 68% this year.....whether that means expectations are fully baked in or there's still room is something everyone has to work out for themselves 😄
Just observations, not financial advice\*

More MU under 1k, AVGO, TSM would be my top 3

Nice buy! TSM is a great core own and especially at that price! I wonder though if the market is pricing memory as a commodity why not semis and the semi foundry. As is usual the future is probably betweeen the bull and bear cases.

next Thursday my port has the opportunity to go up or down 5% thanks to TSM and NFLX but I care more about MSFT and NVO in about 3 wks those two are so undervalued and earnings are highly anticipated.

Not likely, but never know. When we suddenly had the chip surplus, due to Covid and post covid, I bought a good number of shares of TSM for $75/share.

These companies feature overwhelming analyst support, with heavy clusters of "Strong Buy" and "Buy" ratings due to powerful core market tailwinds.
* AA, TSM, NFLX, ELV, UAL

Exactly this! I’ve been selling 2 weeklies on TSM (strike anywhere from $470-500), unlike ASTS, TSM usually doesn’t pump like 10-20% in a week and worst case I can afford a roll. With my ASTS (own 300 shares) I haven’t sold calls at all, too volatile.

Thank you for showing TSM some love. Never see it mentioned but it’s arguably critical infrastructure for basically the world atp.

Hey everyone, below is a list of my current dividend stocks in an individual brokerage account (ignore the spacex, thats just for shits and giggles).
The numbers next to the tickers are the quantities I currently hold.
I'm not particularly married to any one of these, and I already have strong mutual funds in my other Roth accounts. Looking for advice to grow this into a dividend snowball machine as years go by. Any tips? Open to anything! Age: 30

TSM gotta start strong with amazing monthly revenue report on Monday

Also have MU, SMCI, TSM, and NVDA. We use Gemini in DoW and not sure how Tesla will turn out with their focus on Optimus robot, but they will have to do something with their automotive division as Chinese EV manufacturers are eating their margins.

You pay a premium for ADR's. Look at TSM.
