TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd.
stock NYSE ADR

You're missing a key bull thesis for Intel. They aren't nearly as good as TSM, but they don't have to be, TSM is completely sold out of high performance chips. Apple struck up a new partnership with Intel for this exact reason. I wouldn't invest in Intel because there are better companies, but I wouldn't bet on the stock price immediately plummeting.
Also, take this with a grain of salt, but what I'm reading from industry experts is there's going to be a shift toward more CPU spending going forward which directly benefits Intel.

30 years old, 500 to 1k$ a month, long term hold
Currently in VOO, QQQ, Nvidia, TSM, Gold and Tesla. Adding AMD soon because I think the market is still sleeping on them in the AI space.
Building this for myself and eventually teaching my kid when she turns 13. Want her to start her own holdings early so she has what I never had growing up.
Is my current portfolio missing anything obvious or am I on the right track?

Oh man... this is nice.
NVDA gave me the freedom to.... well, take chances. I'd been looking for an entry point on AMD for a while and nearly got in at 145 in...early '24 maybe? But waited for Trump to... be Trump and I got in around 80 for 5,000 shares(and AVGO).
LOL...I have NVDA mods yelling at me when the dick measuring contest was going on over there(to be fair, there's a weird "rivalry" between share holders of each).
In fact, I get called an "NVDA bear" because I said I thought AMD could 3-5X by 2030 while NVDA MIGHT 2X(this was a few months ago). Well, we're 20 dollars away from a 4X and now I'm thinking... another 3X is still coming! 1.5T market cap by 2030?
Still not selling a share of NVDA, AVGO, TSM, AMD and adding to MSFT right now. Also holding on META, GOOGL.

I’m a shorter term but and hold guy I’m anti trading but that’s just my risk tolerance. I had a lot of TSM, PLTR, NVIDA, and CRWD very very early on let’s just say those all made a lot more money then I ever could imagine. I sold all and repositioned into financial staples and big healthcare. I just wish when someone tweets shares don’t drop 10% lol which is why I repositioned into what I did I feel as if a depression is going to happen, but I’ve been saying that for 2 years so maybe I’ll be right after saying it for 10 more.

Because I originally said SK Hynix in the post you replied to and it's relevant to Soxx. Huge demand for SK is bullish for Soxx.
Yes, TSM released earnings showing margins, revenue, and profits were up and accelerating and issued new guidance. That all happened since the war. They also just announced an upcoming improvement to packaging which is necessary for improvement to performance.
I didn't just spout PE ratios. You said their price was pure speculation not based on fundamentals so in order to refute that, I obviously have to mention the price relative to its fundamentals...You clearly lost on that argument so now you're shifting your argument to China invading Taiwan.

Based on what? Cap ex is going up, that's the only serious historical signal of a top that I'm seeing.
Mythos is showing what AI can do, go check the benchmarks and now we have the CTO of Mozilla confirming it found something like 225 vulneabilities, and it finding even one would have been a "red alert". There's no strong evidence that hyperscalers are cutting back, TSM said they are sold out of 3nm chips until 2028 and 2nm until 2029.

I'm looking to build a stable , high growth portfolio. But not looking to diversify too much. These are mostly at good prices and trends.
What do you think, what would you add or remove, if any?
| # | Ticker | Name | Role | Target |
|---|--------|------|------|--------|
| 1 | NVDA | Nvidia | AI Growth #1 | 14% |
| 2 | ASML | ASML | AI Growth #2 | 13% |
| 3 | MSFT | Microsoft | Cloud / AI | 12% |
| 4 | BRK.B | Berkshire B | Macro Anchor | 12% |
| 5 | GOOGL | Alphabet | AI + Ads | 11% |
| 6 | AMZN | Amazon | AWS + AI | 10% |
| 7 | AVGO | Broadcom | AI Silicon | 8% |
| 8 | TSM | Taiwan Semi | AI Fab | 8% |
| 9 | ABBV | AbbVie | Healthcare | 7% |
| 10 | RTX | RTX Corp | Defence | 5-8% |

SK Hynix isn't a component in SOXX. Why bring them up other as macro to memory which driven by AI demand that might later shrivel up and future earnings now negative to past because of falling prices.
Did TSM do something different today then before the war?
What I asked.
Yes, this is FOMO considering SOXX went from $325 to $430 in this world.
Quoting forward PE without grasping what supports that PE and fact China has been showing greater aggression since we invaded Venezuela and now attacked Iran. TSM is highly compromised due to location and fact our tariffs and to some extent the conflicts with Venezuela and Iran affect China. Argument being made the attacks directed are hurting China.
There's more to investing and evaluating stocks then spouting PE ratios.

They have had fundamentals change, especially for TSM. You also assume they were priced correctly before the war, TSM is also flat since late Feb.
There are also a lot of positive signals. Mozilla CTO announcing today that Mythos finding 277 vulnerabilities in Firefox is showcasing the use cases of AI which will translate into continued demand for semis.

I have the same setup but also have URA & TSM as 5% , definitely look into URA at the least !

lol that ASML -5% when TSM said their shit expensive

If Iran really wanted to hurt us they’d hit the TSM factory. Our economy would crumble over night

Micron, TSM, SK Hynix , Google, and others aren't priced as if AI is going to the moon. TSM has been trading at just over the forward PE of the S&P for much of this year and MU/SK well below it.
Also, those two statements can coexist. The economy can worsen but hyperscalers continue to spend huge totals on data centers. I don't think Google /Msft etc is counting on data centers turning super high margin profit in the next two years.

I think ASML, TSM, IBM all beating and raising guidance, then dropping, is not a good sign for this earnings season

Bruh TSM 3dtes were printing all day

VM – odds of TSM reaching 400 by April 30?

Was thinking about TSLA, TSM and SOXX

If TSM were located in the US or even Europe it would have a massive premium

TSM says ASML's new toys is too expensive and it dump -4% lol

TSM strong like bull!
