TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

I had started small and had a plan to ramp up my holdings monthly. Except TSM, nothing in my portfolio sticks anymore as far as I am concerned. SPCX too is closr to listing day price!
I am not able to decide whether AMZN, MSFT, GOOG are now ripe to pick up for DCA or should i wait

TSM makes Micron’s memory. They can only work so fast. Microns valuation is built on a giant backlog, similar to Nvidia, but if Taiwan can’t make it, Micron can’t sell it. TSM is the real bottleneck to everything.
Micron probably runs into the issue Boeing has. Boeing could sell a trillion dollars in planes, but you have to make the planes… making the planes is hard, time consuming, capital consuming. Hurts the business.

The only that matters is guidance. On the call, the only thing that matters is how well they can keep up with demand. Backlog doesn’t mean shit if TSM can’t make it fast enough!

I also went all US. had vxus for a while and it sucked, still betting on USA for the rest of my investing career minus a few things like TSM

Yeah. STM is a good company. I loaded up on that and TSM. Both companies that will do way better on actual numbers than that fantasy crap at spacex. Not to say what he has done isn't impressive, it's just not worth remotely what the current valuation is

Depends which, MU is cyclical, NVIDIA, TSM not cyclical anymore

Still holding semis: Nvidia, TSM, AVGO which have been my big winners gains between 190%-270%
GLP-1s: Averaged down on my novo nordisk to $51 a share with plans for more as it stays under $50, good news is my Eli Lilly had offset those losses with those holdings up about 50%
Ended up not buying Ferrovial but did buy Solstice Advanced Materials (SOLS) which is up about 84%, by selling my Indian banks for a slight gain, which turned out to be a portfolio saving move since they have tanked really bad since.
My Hermes position is down, but I keep averaging into it.
Overall my portfolio YTD is up 13.9% so pretty happy, I continue to buy these companies throughout the year.

Cool, what drives it rn, biggest companies trying to get to AGI, right? Leading is NVDA with 5t evaluation? Google NVDA partners, buyers, suppliers and you'll get a list with MU, AMD, TSM AMSL etc etc on it. Simple. Then research each, learn to read books and earnings, choose few most promising names (if you can not the ones already 1000% up yoy) place small asymmetric bets,
Also think what made you consider MU? Could it possibly be fomo? Or you have faith they'll keep growth rate next few y?

Asset light is the old model imo, these companies are doing massive capex spending to grow their physical supply chains because of Covid, Suez, Hormuz, tariffs, etc.
MU, INTC, Samsung, Hynix, TSM, ASML, etc. are manufacturers, it's the opposite of asset light.

Micron has tripled since last ER. This whisper number is what? How would it even be possible for them to sell enough memory to meet this expected number? TSM isn’t working any harder than they were 3 months ago. And prices haven’t moved THAT drastically…

foundry trade working out really well TSM TSEM INTC 🤔

Even if they hit their fab targets by 2030, there’s very little return left, they don’t even have the capacity even if you assume Demand is infinite. I see very little political risk with TSM, invading taiwan is a fools task.

I’ve been building and actively managing a concentrated portfolio focused on semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and large cap tech.
Current positioning is split between long equity exposure and a few long dated call structures.
Core holdings include names like MU, TSM, INTC, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG and LRCX, with additional exposure through options in SNDK, CRDO and LRCX.
The portfolio is not fully directional. Some positions are performing strongly, especially semiconductor exposure, while large cap tech has been more mixed and is currently acting as a drag on overall performance.
Options positions are primarily long dated calls with 2026 expirations, which I treat more as convex exposure rather than short term trades. I am aware of the risk profile here and position sizing is intentional rather than accidental overexposure.
A few notes on current structure:
Semiconductor exposure has been the main driver of gains, particularly MU and TSM.
Large cap tech exposure is more balanced and includes both winners and laggards, which is intentional as part of a broader hedge against single factor momentum risk.
I maintain conviction in AI infrastructure demand continuing to support semis, but I am also aware that valuation compression in mega caps can quickly offset gains if sentiment shifts.
This is not a short term trading portfolio. Time horizon is multi month to multi year depending on position.
Curious how others are currently balancing semis vs large cap tech exposure in this environment.

I sold all my TSM and switched to SNDK at 1580. It's been going up, but I'm a bit scared due to volatility

Hey man first thing I'd highly highly recommend is to sell SpaceX. I'm sure you bought it off all the hype but trust me just sell it now, friends and I bought at 150 and immediately sold once it hit the 200s mark.
Now im not going to which stock/s to invest in instead because the smartest play would be to invest in ETFs like VOO or QQQ (down the line it would be better to use IBKR and choose CSPX/VWRA instead). But if you do want more risk and potential upside via stocks, I personally chose MU, NBIS, NOK, TSM, SNDK, and of course NVDA. Keep in mind too that the money I've invested is money I wouldnt mind losing, make sure you have emergency funds on standby first.
Best tutorials are all scattered on Reddit, and youtube; just go down the rabbit hole. I started by first knowing what NOT to do, and thats definitely Options and using leverage; go on r/wallstreetbets and watch the many compilations on youtube of people making and losing fortunes. At your age, just get into an ETF and chill, or risk and dream bigger with stock picking.
I've only been into this for 1 month, but the biggest hurdle really is starting and planning your path. Don't get stuck on things, and avoid analysis paralysis. Good luck!

Typically each week sell a 14DTE MU a 7-14DTE of one of the following, picked mostly on vibes. AMD, DELL, MCHP, TSM, RKLB, AAPL, NVDA, PL, SMH, INTC, SNDK. Probably something I’m missing, but mostly semiconductor, memory, or space. Looking for something below the past week or twos low and .15-.25 delta.

Definitely not true. Depending on how you calculate it, sales for amount of compute for memory and logic from 2022-2026 have been growing at a 25-30% cagr. That's some napkin math, so could be off by a decent amount, but it's definitely way up. Way more memory has been sold, and TSM's wafer output has stayed relatively flat, but way more compute density per chip.
TSM and ASML haven't been gouging on price at all actually. For a given node, I believe TSM has said they have only been raising prices to keep up with inflation. They do charge more each time a more advanced node comes out though.
ASML could charge double and people would still pay it.

All AI spending scam backfire many. $MSFT $META $AMZN $GOOG and OpenAI & Anthropic spending, that’s why all need to pump semi last 4 years, $TSM $NVDA and now $MU $DRAM and few
See how much OpenAI, Anthropic burning cash
2025 burning: 44 Billion
2026 burning: 41 Billions
At 39 Trillion debt, how long big billions burning cash hold, even AI use is fun, without any profitability.

I bought SNDK, the WDC, then MU and finally TSM. I also have a biotech stock but the wild child is definitely SNDK and WDC with MU coming on strong and TSM being the level headed one. So far so good at 257% YTD.
