TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

I have Intel at $25 because I also own Apple, AMD, and TSMC. If TSM blows up, all three go down but Intel goes to the moon. (Theoretically)

In all seriousness, if you don’t like where things are headed you can place your bet on whether China Taiwan takes Taiwan. That happens and NVDA and TSM crash 40-50%. I think it’s possible later this year so I’d be looking to get in puts if NVDA rallies over $200. Good luck

You can buy international ETFs for diversification but I buy individual stocks like TSM, RACE, NOV, etc.

Dude stock price doesn’t matter ? Lol nvda is $180 does that mean every semi above that is more expensive ? No because ASML and TSM is cheaper 😝

This is the comparison. Its top 10 holdings are 99% identical except for TSM was included in all country. It is hot stock breaking trading price ath. The same management fee. SPDR is a good etf company. I invest SPYL(SP500) myself.

In my retirement funds I hold a good amount in major index funds. In my non-retirement I do not invest into forms of s&p500/nasdaq. These are great if you don’t pay attention.
I diversify by investing in the following:
- Different countries major index funds (Japan, China, Germany, EU etc)
- Sectors of AI: Semi conductors, chips, electricity
- ETFs that are interested of the US gov-> defense, large budget coming. Rare earths like REMX, Production of GDP including pharma like PPH
- Lastly I have a smaller section of individual personnel bets that I research heavily including biotech, goog, uber etc etc. some individual bets are based on analysts targets I’d like to be further exposed to I.e NVDA, ASML, TSM.
This isn’t investing advice by any means, I read a lot and have the means to listen to market news from various outlets while I work from home. The bottom line is, if you pay attention you can easily beat the S&P 500 with moderate risk. Just don’t get caught with your pants down over exposed to AI

Any point adding AVGO? Already have small amounts in NVDA, AMD, SMH, TSM & a S&P 500 ETF in my country.

We all know the bull run of the last year or so has been on the back of AI hype and the infrastructure around it. We also know that a couple bad earnings calls from a couple major players could cause a nasty price correction.
Is there anything you’re doing to hedge against the AI expectation risk specifically aside from general market hedging and diversification?
MU and TSM have ballooned their percentage of my portfolio with the recent growth and while I believe demand should continue for the next 6-12 months, I am concerned about tail risk and I don’t think diversifying to a market index would bring much relief in that event

VXUS is international stocks including TSM ASML.
Take a look at.
International markets out performed the US by 5% last year. I believe they will continue performing excellently.

Even the best European companies are completely dependent on America. Those indices would sell off if there was any major US sell off. Biggest holdings in VXUS are 1) TSM and 2) ASML. What do you think happens to these if the big American economic collapse happens?

But the advantage of SMH compared to QQQ are international companies like TSM

TSM

The orders are all locked in through 2026 and into 2027. Not sure if you took a listen to TSM, ASML, Nvidia, Micron earning calls lately but ...it's not speculation.
