Really no TSM owe would that just be like government bonds?

LOL... you're genuinely too stupid to even see the hypocrisy in your own post, aren't you?
"You keep citing the History of NVDA."
Also you;
"I mean, just look at the last 6 months of NVDA!"
And yeah, I'm not assuming anything. You're broke, you're bitter, amd your pathetic. Nobody else is going to spend time posting on a b9ard for a stock they're not in.
I think TSLA is... a moronic stock at this point. Guess how many times I've posted over there?
And you keep rambling about the other semis knowing full well I'm in TSM, AMD and AVGO.
Sit down! You're tired and predictable stoopid at this point.

Attention to detail is key...re-read my post, I never said Nvidia is not a good investment. Quite the contrary. If you read carefully I said they'll have a good business and be around for a while. If you actually read and spend the time to comprehend what someone writes instead of glancing at it and reacting emotionally you'll become a much better investor.
I'll try to simplify it for you. The post 1) offers an explanation of why alternate silicon is winning billions of dollars of business away from Nvidia, which ***never*** happened 18 months ago, because 2) CUDA is no longer a moat (because of Altman's open source work on backend LLMs) resulting in 3) whether it's NVDA or G or AMD or AMZN (who have all taken billions of dollars of Nvidia recently - see the headlines I posted) the demand for silicon is still there, so the common denominator to invest in is fabs and companies like AVGO and MU.
I've posted this starting at the beginning of this year and every time folks like you foam at the mouth because you can't handle any criticism of NVDA. Go ahead and chart TSM and INTC for the last 4 months compared to NVDA - that's where most of my NVDA investment pivoted to. I posted this to spur a conversation about explaining the unbelievably stagnant NVDA stock performance and the fact the moat is eroding, but you and everyone else somehow take it personally and get your panties in a twist. You, nor anyone else accepted the challenge of explaining the biggest negative stock correlation in the history of the stock market.
Personally I could care less if anyone listens...for those that did - and I have folks from the 2 NVDA forums reach out to me often - they made out even better for considering what I said. For those that didn't I could care less - I don't have a horse in their race. I just find it fascinating that in all the R forums I attend this one has an abundance of people that don't really understand the technologies, don't care about facts and data and can't have a constructive discussion but rather get offended if you don't suggest NVDA will be $300 tomorrow like Jensen is their BF or something.
Cheers!

It’s a long side bet. I’ll add to it primarily through SOXX. AMD earned a rare spot at my table next to Google and TSM by making Wal street look foolish last couple days. 👍

Lots of fabs being built across the world for this very purpose. Both Intel and TSM are building out fabs

Please go back up TSM

The general consensus is that a total exUSA market like in VXUS will still likely underperform the S&P500 long term which is why a 60-100% investment in the USA is commonly recommended. Anywhere around 0-40% VXUS is a reasonable balance with a higher international portion allows you to hedge more of your bet on the US and ideally reduce volatility in your portfolio.
You're basically taking a concentration of 500 stocks in VOO and dramatically increasing its diversity with 8,800 more stocks by adding VXUS and this broadly reduces the volatility and potential gains of the portfolio long term. In basic math, it's much less likely 8,800 broadly selected companies around the world outperform a concentration of 500 of the best companies.
Key thing to keep in mind is that technology is the main driver behind VXUS recent gains. TSM, Samsung, ASML, SKHynix and similar international tech giants are the main engine. By buying VOO you are gaining access to their parallels in the USA like NVDA, AMD, Intel, MU, AVGO, etc. So if there is ever a semiconductor crisis, everyone goes down together. Cool thing about being diversified around 8,800 stocks is that they can better spread the loss than 500 stocks and hypothetically while VXUS might grow less than VOO long term, it will also possibly not crash as much as VOO.
Everything is dependent on your risk tolerance. I highly recommend if you have the time to read into the holdings of VOO and VXUS. If you're feeling conservative, VTI can be a great substitute for VOO to increase diversity and reduce volatility and potential gains. If you're feeling ambitious because of your young age, adding a little QQQM or SMH can be a great way to capture some of the ongoing tech wave.

TSM

Yes, they have an extremely high moat, hence their high PEG ratio, people are willing to pay extra for that safety.
My post isn't "everyone panic ASML is going bankrupt" it's: "will these headwinds cause ASML to underperform other high quality semi stocks like TSM, SK Hynix, etc.".

Check since 2012 their revenue and especially growth:
[https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSM/taiwan-semiconductor-manufacturing/revenue](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSM/taiwan-semiconductor-manufacturing/revenue)
So it's cyclical, for sure. Now if you convinced that till the end of time TSMC or even the next 10-20 years will never see a revenue drop, it's a belief you can have.
Thing is demand will not grow for ever at the same rate and production capacity will catch up and the premium for the scarity will disappear eventually.

3.4% of mine is in AMD. It's up 284%. Wish I would have leaned in harder, but was not willing to go on tilt on a single stock. Also put some in ARM not long after though and it's now 4.2% of the port and up 132%. Also added a small position in TSMC ($TSM) which is just .88% of port and up 141%. Have continued to also slow build a position in SOXX ETF and it's 4.37 of port and up 142%. My thesis at the time (over about 10 months) was that the semiconductor stocks were likely poised for huge upside moves, but that there was too much risk in picking just one, mainly due to all the wackiness of the US trade policy, geopolitical stuff and potential the administration might start picking their own winners and losers... which they did to an extent with Intel (the one I chose not to invest in, and it too had explosive gains), but the rest did just fine in my book. haha. There still appears to be a very strong runway for revenue growth for them through 2028 or so.

TSM!!!!!

This is why I hate when people use the blanket term "AI stocks" when referring to NVDA, TSM, AVGO....

Listen, clown. Some percentage of your portfolio should be buying OTM calls and rolling them up higher regularly, all the way thru 2027. Like- allocate 25% of your portfolio to this strategy, the rest inelastic goods like $weat, copper, uranium, BTC, hedge with deep OTM puts on NVDA/TSM (5%) to counter supply chain/war risk in sk hynix/Taiwan/China/Malaysia

Solid start naman, especially for someone aiming long-term. Heavy ka sa tech/AI-semi exposure with names tied to NVDA, TSM, and Nasdaq ETFs, so aligned ka sa current growth narrative. My only concern is medyo concentrated ka sa same sector. Kapag nag-cool off tech or AI hype, sabay-sabay din possible tama niyan. Good thing meron kang S&P 500 ETF for some balance, pero personally I’d slowly increase broad ETFs over time para less dependent sa iisang narrative.

If I were you I'd full port google they are about to surpass nvda as most valuable company and they can mesh their chips far better for ai use but this is my holdings it may look pretty spread out as well, but that's because im working with 9x the capital

I agree. We need to tread this one carefully - OP seems to be heavily exposed to ai. Pero if Micron and TSM naman sila, regardless of the cost of ai, tataas din talaga demand nila eh?

Thanks to GOOG, AMD, NBIS, HOOD, TSM, RDDT, FTAI, MU, CNC, UBER, and more. Sold some of the option gains and converted to stocks.
Currently, hedging with longer duration covered calls given that the market is on euphoria atm. Expecting a pull down sometime, but holding the positions strong 💪

Investing in tech suppliers is the smart play here (e.g., MU, SNDK, TSM, NVDA) because no matter how the AI wars shake out, they’re still going to spend a lot of money on hardware to get there.

I'm shorting semis out of spite, because some regards here convinced me out of going full chub on TSM when it was trading in the 50-60s a couple years ago. Something about China. Still bitter about it.
