TSM Reddit Mentions | ChartExchange

sure i agree you don't have his schedule, but it's still a valid question, what is enough analysis? The ways in which people do analysis is often different.
I didn't need to look at the entire portfolio, by looking at the largest positions and their cost basis it's easy to see that he out performed the market. The smaller and less familiar stocks are just extra, they could be bad investments, it doesn't matter.
> I would love to hear why you think someone who got in to NVIDIA at $14.60 is holding at $201 through pure skill
Well, it is skill, why did they buy then, why buy so much, why hold so long? These are all indicators of skill and good choices, even if their reasoning behind the choice doesn't seem solid to you or me.
> I'd love to hear why you think someone that good needs to ask Reddit for advice
there's a world of information and stuff each of us doesn't know. There's a ton of financial instruments I have no understanding of. There are many industry threats people aren't aware of. There are loads of tax details that most investors aren't aware of.
> If he's experienced, then either he somehow predicted 14X, in which case he doesn't need to rebalance, he needs to stay the course or even add to position. Or he did not predict 14X, in which case he should have rebalanced like a year ago.
Stock analysts change their predictions all the time. Back when it was $15 nobody was thinking it was going to go to 14x, a lot has gone on in the mean time. Many of the best purchases aren't done based on financial details but on recognizing a products quality, or a businesses strengths. Him not having a prediction of 14x definitely does not mean he should have re-balanced a year ago. And to be clear rebalancing such a potentially large position into say VOO inside a year could be more expensive than holding a portion of it for 1 or more years even if the price was guaranteed not to increase, due to the tax implications.
> Particularly if he as much time for this as you think rather than as little as I think.
I don't think he needs a lot of time, I have 40 stocks right now, I've been trading for over a decade and have always beater every US index and I don't spend that much time doing it.
> This is both a strawman and just mathematically wrong
No it's not, and I'm willing to prove it.
Let's pretend, give me an example of any portfolio and I'll provide an economic situation where it can lose value.
To be clear i do think diversification is good, and he should do more of it, which he was already aware of; but moving to VOO or QQQ is a lot less diversified than many people think and would have been far less profitable if he had done that a year ago. I really don't get why you're insisting on historically bad financial decisions as being a good choice.
> You really do sound like someone who is similarly exposed
And you sound like someone who didn't earn as much as OP and is justifying your own bad financial decisions by playing them off as being safer. My portfolio has many stocks, more than OPs, and I won't try to pretend all my picks are good, but I'm also very diversified, using other types of financial instruments and foreign investments; actually I'm not even in tech very much (the only big tech investments I have right now are TSM and AMZN both at about 10%).
