TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

I think they want to buy (checks notes). Nvidia. Google. Sandisk. uh... TSM. They THOUGHT about buying GME but then they decided that it would prob be a better idea to buy stocks that go up.

First off, great job investing so early! You’re ahead of the curve
I’d recommend putting most of your money in an ETF like VOO, which consists of the top 500 public companies. It’s safe and good returns.
SCHD isn’t a bad ETF by any means, but it’s better to focus on investing in companies you believe will have long term growth rather than relying on dividends.
For individual stocks, BRK.B, BN, MKL AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, and TSM are all good to invest it.
If you plan on investing $1k a month, a Roth IRA does have a limit of $7.5k contributions per year. Would suggest opening a brokerage account with that firm to invest your remaining $4.5k!

What about ASML? Maybe overvalued? Would TSM at their current price point be a good investment long term?

Thanks i appreciate that, i still have no confidence in what im doing, but ive just been listening and following KOLs i trust. ive put in another 1.5K usd and added in NBIS, TSM, and… RKLB and SPCX… not proud of this at all but decided to go with my friends that have way more experience than me. Only bought 2 shares of SPCX though, and a fraction of RKLB.
Confidence remains in APPL NVDA SNDK and VOO, added TSM to this list too. NBIS another Fomo pick and its been good so far. Honestly, im just surprised with how much fun ive been having, and learning more about how important it is to stay in the market rather than timing it makes me feel more excited.

All roads lead to TSM.

I’m assuming this is a good faith question even though it’s probably not.
1. SpaceX has deployed roughly 50% of the satellites the entire human race has ever deployed, combined, and that’s still trending number is increasing rapidly.
2. SpaceX reduced the cost of deployment per kg from $20k to less than $2k, and that’s still trending downward
3. SpaceXs reusable rockets are the first in the world and proved out the entire industry is viable. This is valuable for SpaceX obviously, but it makes the entire space market real and actually monetizable.
4. AI - new and grok is weak, but it’s going to be impossible for new AI companies to exist soon, and SpaceX’s data centers are a bet on them bridging the gap to becoming a contender over the years.
5. Chips/Semiconductors - if SpaceX can actually enter the semiconductor manufacturing race successfully through terrafab, and compete even remotely near the TSM levels, the entire planets economy and political climate will change. Taiwan is so important precisely due to this, and the reason GPUs are so expensive now is partially due to this bottleneck. It sounds like an insane idea they might beat TSM, but with the gigafactories Tesla has already produced, it’s a real possibility.

Executive Summary
Yes — but I’d tighten the output into a research screen, not a fake “committee.” Based on the current backdrop, I’d overweight quality compounders with positive revisions and avoid “consensus buys” that only work if multiples keep expanding. FactSet shows S&P 500 forward P/E at 21.1x, above both 5- and 10-year averages, while earnings revisions are unusually positive.
Top 20 Institutional-Quality Screen

1 MSFT Microsoft Software/Cloud Fair AI/cloud compounder, high ROIC, strong balance sheet
2 GOOGL Alphabet Digital Ads/AI Fair Search + YouTube + AI optionality

Microsoft screens exceptionally well: StockAnalysis lists 23.25x trailing P/E, 21.11x forward P/E, 15.98x EV/EBITDA, 39.77x P/FCF, and 27.24% ROIC. Alphabet has strong ROIC at 28.34%, but its current valuation is less obviously cheap after a major 52-week run. Meta is still attractive on analyst consensus, with Google Finance showing 32 Buy, 6 Hold, 0 Sell among recent ratings. Broadcom is high quality but no longer cheap, with StockAnalysis showing 64x trailing P/E, 24.5x forward P/E, and 44.7x EV/EBITDA.

Bottom Line
The best version of this strategy is not “buy what Wall Street likes most.”
It is:
> Buy companies where elite consensus, earnings revisions, moat strength, cash-flow quality, and valuation all line up.
My highest-conviction 10 from this screen: MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN, AVGO, V, ASML, TSM, AMAT, HON.

Just bail on SPCX and buy TSM

Buy TSM

> Why do you think Nvidia is just sitting with backlogs instead of investing in ASML to install with TSM to crank out GPUs?
Brother, I literally just explained this to you.

$75B or $750B. It doesn't matter. There isn't enough supply of EUV components to build the machines. No amount of money can make this stuff just appear.
Why do you think no one is investing in ASML? Why do you think Nvidia is just sitting with backlogs instead of investing in ASML to install with TSM to crank out GPUs? NVDA has 100s of billions of net income and practically no capex. It is 100% supply constrained with a $1T backlog. Do you really think Nvidia would rather invest in crap like Coreweave than a key bottleneck in their profit center?
The reality is that SpaceX has nothing that does anything that would help ASML expand any faster than ASML already can expand. Hell, the US considers these things matters of national security and won't even let other countries import the machines, yet it isn't investing in them and it can little print money to invest, just like it did with Intel etc.

Buy TSM

It’s gone from $2000 to $4000 so double
In the same timeframe I invested in MU which is up 7x, RDDT which tripled, AMD which tripled, SOFI which is more than double, TSM more than double
So how tf is gold any good?
Every other thing I invested in went up more
“Early retirement” my butt

just ride the wave 🌊until there is no more wave. No need to dive too deep unless you are long. Which should only be AMD, AMAT, TSM don’t care less about the others.
