TSM 22.96 / cash 15.01 / QQQM 12.67 / KO 12.08  / NVDA 9.25  / LLY 9.22/ SMH 8.31 / VOO 5.85 / MSFT  4.65 I know my port is all over the place,  I'm thinking about selling SMH, MSFT and share it between the other. Is there anything I should keep or sells?

I rotated from my risky semi position TSM into blue chip NVDA last week

Yes I added some Friday. GOOGL TSM, SMH, VGT..long term I think the strong will get stronger. And in time of uncertainly I’d buy mega caps. But I also have many mid size AI names that is down. It’s ok, will see what happens in 2-6 months. I’m retired but no worries

DELL, MU, SKHY, TSM, AMD, SNDK .... the only one still red is NVDA.

Will this impact other AI stock prices like TSM and ASML?

TSM denies dram production. I duno who is paying the information to write these negative news

Only IBM. Safest bet IMO. From their Anderon chip factory that I expect to be the TSM of quantum chips to their longevity and the fact that they have more quantum computers than the rest of the companies combined, I think their head start, deep pockets, and customer ecosystem gives them the best bet to corner the market on this tech.

I found this EUV fund to be quite interesting. Mostly because of the high concentration in TSM, which I've always been hesitant to buy. It seems like a good play for 10+ years based on the current holdings and the overall trend of tech.

I understand that But why would TSM try to enter the DRAM production if it’s destined to be a falling knife ? I can agree that 700b of cash has no multiple. But the company is worth 800b today so it doesn’t need a multiple

Uh TSM?

Don't jinx my TSM position.

There is at least one exception: TSM.

NVDA's moat is CUDA. AI was developed on CUDA platform for the past decade. If you don't use NVDA GPU, you don't get to use CUDA. CUDA is 2 decades old, has continually been enhanced, and is entrenched into many engineering and scientific applications. It isn't going away any time soon. MU SKHY and Samsung's moat is fab. That's really it. There have been rumors circulating that TSM is considering getting into the memory fab business. That would mean any chip design company, such as an NVDA, could design their own proprietary memory chips and have TSM produce them. Of course this cannot happen overnight. One of these moats is much wider and deeper than the other. That is why you see such a discrepency on NVDA versus memory chip valuation multiples. Just imagine if a day comes where TSM puts out a press release indicating they are entering the market. A pile of $700b in net profit just becomes worth $700b, there is no multiple assigned to it. You get the multiple when your expected net income trends to $200b, to $275b to $375b... etc.

NVDA is a bargain if you are a long term investor. So is TSM, and so is MU. No one knows short term moves for sure. My 2 cents.

I bought VOO, QQQ, BE, NVDA, TSM, SOXX and DRAM at the close Thursday and bought more VOO Friday.

TSM, WULF. Not really value investing per se I know.

Go take a look at the balance sheets for NVDA, MU, and TSM.

Perhaps you shouldn't put your entire livelihood into a single stock? AMAT, LRCX, TSM, NVDA, AVGO, CRDO, AAOI, MU, WDC, SIMO, VRT, CRWV, APLD, CORZ, AMKR- are all one stock "semiconductors inc" You tax the *exact same supply line* 14 times at different points in time. You don't diversify tour cash stream- they rise on the exact same event the exact same amount, just taking turns in taking the money And when the demand drop, they are not waiting for their turn to drop. They all drop together - because its the same cash stream that was just eroded. Their correlation downward=1 And the rest- google, amazon, sony. Thlse are the **consumers**. They are the ones who give the cash flow to "Semiconductors inc." to fund the supply line. Its their capex they spend from your money you catch back. And guess what happens when they enter a drawdown and cut capex spending? "semiconductors inc" immediately drop with them Your entire portfolio is only 3 stocks- 95% "semiconductors inc and hyperscalers", and 5% caterpillar and take two. All three heavily cyclical, consumer demand-sensitive, volatile and tend to enter long stretches of trough when the market saturated When you buy a falling knife as you "buy the dip", there's zero cushions. You are committing your entire net worth on that single knife. And if this is institutional rerating, you are looking at months if not years of compounding erased as the "semiconductor inc" stocks establish a lower bottom- and semis can enter prolonged troughs of zero demand, ask anyone who bought intel in 1996 Your neoclouds will be bankrupted if they can't find a usage or absorbed into bigger infrastructure once money rotate out. And everything else would easily drop 60-70% and stay down for years once semiconductor burn rate reach equilibrium with their production. There is very little secular compounding and long term wealth being built here. So yes when the market enter drawdown period like last week, you will be massively down

This is WSB!!! I am saying this as a loser that buys boring tickers like VFIAX, ADBE, GOOG, MELI, TSM, DLO, QCOM We are not shaming them, smart investors are shameful!!! I am shameful.

GLW & TSM.

I'm in the same boat, except I am not trying to beat the averages. I own quite a few individual stocks but I also own SPY, QQQ, VEA, VTWO and things like QYLD for income. The stocks I own include CAT, NVDA, SPG, AAPL and others with huge embedded gains. I sold some CAT earlier this year and will pay for it in April. I don't know any way around this except to use offsetting losses and simply pay the taxes from the gains. I thought about selling covered calls to help offset the gains but that would just kick me up into a higher tax bracket. One thing I would disagree about is beating the indexes. To manage risk you have to diversify even if just through ETFs. According to my calculations, which includes dividends, (total return) I have underperformed the market most years but not by much and my account value does not fluctuate as much. (except for Thursday) I think diversifying between sectors and foreign markets is more important than beating the averages. But it does depend on your age. I'm 73, but if you are in your 40s or 50s you may not be as worried about those fluctuations. One other thing. SPY and QQQ (VOO) are all heavily weighted by the large cap stocks like AMZN, NVDA, TSM, MSFT and the like. So goes those stocks so goes your account value. That is why I am invested in foreign markets and small and mid cap stocks.
