TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

I made $60k this year, then lost $35k of it in the last two weeks trading AMD, Soxx, NVDA, DRAM and TSM. You are correct, every move was the wrong move. Every time I sold the stock would skyrocket, every time I held I woke up the next day to losing $10k while I slept.
With that I have learned I have no clue what I am doing. No clue how someone loses money the last two weeks. Held NVDA at $220, sold at $200, then everything went south. I finish my 5 month tenure in the market up 14 percent, back to work.

My port is geared towards generalized tech innovation, advancement, and buildout, specifically for data centers and semi supply chain at the moment. My biggest direct robotics exposure is through AMZN, TER, SYM, and APH. Another good picks and shovels plays to consider is TXN.

Thank you TSM, you beautiful money printer.

Alright that’s it, I’m moving to buying and holding. I’ve watched AMD, MU, NVDA, RKLB, ASTS, TSM all pump for 4 years and only managed to lose money on options. Feeling like an absolute idiot right now looking at some of these prices

Ngl one China’ blockade on Taiwan will crumble the US stock market. Intel is not even ready to take all that capacity. TSM? They only get to build their latest node in their motherland. Blame Taiwan.
Yes Intel is incredibly important.

not saying you should do what ever you want.
but geopolitics effect stocks, and a 30% reduction in helium supply, where TSM got 70% from hormuz, to produce teh AMD and Nvidia chips, it undoubtly wil have an effect when the bottleneck shows.
>Stock valuations are a function of their earnings.
they indeed are, which is ofc why INTEL is trading at close to 600B, while expected to earn 5B, så a forward P/e far above 100.

It’s not hence why it’s not in my memory/storage pie in ISA and it’s instead on my invest account along with TSM since both companies are unavailable on ISA yet available on invest. However i have to pay capital gains tax after 3000£ gains but it is what it js

I’m not gonna sell fund. I’m going to switch to investing into a semiconductor etf that holds some of nividias main competitor. I don’t like that it was even an option for these guys to sell amd given the story and where things are at. Every other basket semi fund knew about Intel also. And Marvell. Far as I can tell the only thing that makes this fund special now, is it opts out of TSM and AMD. That’s new. And I find it shocking. I don’t need fidelity mutual funds to try and do something different. I just need them to be the fidelity mutual funds version of smh.

The dominos will start falling if China claims TSM.

30% SMH
20% DRAM
50% VGT
Joking.. I like your total world index spread. It's very heavy in exUSA with VXUS. Most of international is being dragged upward by a handful of international tech stocks like TSM, ASML, Samsung, and SK Hynix.
I think QQQM or SPMO would be a better fit than SCHG. SCHG carries health care and financials that really have not been performing well and especially financials won't be doing well with inflation and spending fears.
Overlap is fine so long as it is an intentional tilt. Basically all of SCHG is contained in VTI. That's alright.
If you invest consistently, you will be fine. It's just not an aggressive portfolio but a fairly broad one with a tilt toward US Large caps with SCHG.

I had been holding AMD, NVDA, AVGO, MU, LRCX, KLAC, TSM, ASML, INTC, and AMAT for a while - sold AMD, MU, LRCX, and INTC today.

there might be real earnings, but the valuations is still insane.
most AI stocks is up 100%+ since march 30.
intel has a Forward p/e above 100, they only expect to make 10B by 2028, and i traded at 550B, AMD is traded at 136 (not accounting for the 15% increase, because of a 5% beat).
both AMD and Nvidia chips are made by TSM, which source 70% of their helium for the hormuz strait, i wonder what wil happen to that production, when helium supply is becoming a issue on the market.

AI is trading like there is no war, while the rest of the market actually trades like there is a war, when reality comes back to the AI market it is gonna be a shit show.

So WTF do you buy at open at these levels? Nvidia, META, microsoft or what?! TSM does looks kind of fairly valued too.

Just diversify guys. Buys Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Mu, Sndk, EWY, Seagate, TSM and wait. In that way will be easy ride a long term investment. All that companies will increase their value in the nexts years.

TSM or Apple.
TSMC rules the world. If they go down, the world economy will completely collapse. US will do anything to defend their semi’s and Taiwan.
Apple Silicon is monstrous. Companies who can design their own silicon and streamline efficiency and keep things in-house will do well, from a semiconductor standpoint. Also, they wouldn’t transition CEO’s unless it was from a position of strength.
Apple and TSM need each other.
Other stuff here is less reliable for 5+ years out. RAM is always cyclical. They are also vulnerable to software efficiency gains such as TurboQuant. For a year ish is probably okay though, unless the oil crisis collapses everything again.
But the markets =\= reality

> TSM being down as well also indicates that the market is completely irrational
Presumably connected to Intel rising 12% (not that it makes it more rational lol)

Groq, Samsung, TSM, INTC, NVDA, AAPL, GOOGL, QCOM and AMD

It remains true that you should be really scared you don’t own enough AMD, NVDA, MU, ASML, & TSM.

Was there news on TSM?

Nvidia like the only red ai stock today? Ok TSM also, haha
