stock NYSE ADR

BABA, TSM, PDD, JD, TCEHY

Robinhood account: $10,513.59, up $118.54 (up 1.14%) on Friday.
Whole book including the crypto and Kalshi sleeves: $10,986.20, up $102.77 (up 0.94%).
AI Picks & Shovels, $1,082.96, up $32.29 (up 3.07%), best day in the book. It did its reweight at the open: trimmed AMD, DELL, MRVL and Micron, added to ANET, NVDA, SMCI and TSM. It added more SMCI at $43.23. It first bought SMCI on day 1 at $39.18, so that position is up about 10% since the start of the series.
First of the Month, $1,019.55, up $21.61 (up 2.17%). It sits in the S&P 500 all month and only switches into a 3x leveraged S&P fund across the turn of the month. It's held the 3x fund since the close on Sept 24, and a green start to October is exactly what that window is for.
FAANG+ Momentum, $2,519.12, up $21.71 (up 0.87%). Daily rerank sold AMZN and GOOGL and bought AAPL, META and NVDA.
Business As Usual, $2,573.58, up $15.86 (up 0.62%). Plain SPY day, no leverage.
The honest part:
High Profile Congress sold FSLR at $173.80. In the week 1 recap I pointed out it bought FSLR back at $187.91 on a new disclosure. That rebuy lost 7.5%. It also bought IBP and WPM. It was still up $3.56 on the day.
FDA Inspector, $495.90, down $7.18 (down 1.43%), the worst dollar day. No trades, just its pharma holdings having a bad Friday.
NFL Fantasy Agent went 0 for 2 on Thursday Night Football again, my player Denzel Boston touchdown at 22 cents and 6+ catches at 10 cents. It's down to $5.96 from $19 on day 1. This one is clearly a lottery ticket and I sized it like one.
WSB Consensus sold AVGO and Micron right before the close and bought WHK, because that's what the sub was talking about. It's a $9 position for exactly that reason.

I bought MU at 924, it rose to 1100 and is now around 1060. NVDA for 215, hit its all time high of 237,  ASML for 1450, now 1650, TSM for 422, now 473. 

How much experience do you have with trading? Do you have the time to do day trading? What’s your time horizon? What’s your risk tolerance?
For your stock picks, seems that you are just going for the momentum. You can’t extrapolate from 3 days with 3 stocks.
I’m a fundamental investor. From my perspective, AMD/AVGO/TSM are high in terms of valuation. Not to say they aren’t good companies or won’t go up, just to say it’s already past the best time buying them. NVDA is better in terms of valuation, though it’s also inching towards all time high. I do have positions in them, but I bought way back, and I’d wait for better prices to add more.

TSM and NVDA is a great portfolio combo

Some people are scared of the AI bubble, but it's still growing and is probably a good investment if you've got some risk appetite. Some of the bigger names involved are NVDA, GOOGL, MSFT, META, MU, TSM, ASML. Try to pick up some shares during a dip, like the next time there's an AI panic in the news and then sit on it for a while

As the other comment mentioned you can lose more than you gained in premium. Especially with advanced options setups.
I stick to covered calls on blue chips (TSM/GOOGL/MSFT). So I personally consider those "paper losses" because I was going to hold the stock anyways, If the price drops i still cushioned my PNL, kept my stocks and can sell another call until/into recovery.

TSM is an extraordinary company. However, I have avoided it because of geopolitical risk.

I'm 36, and I earn about $100,000 annually. I'm the primary source of income for my family of 4 (Wife and 2 kids who are 5 and 6). I intend to stay at my job until I retire, and my job provides a substantial pension. We're getting by, but not amazingly. We live in a HCOL city, so $100k doesn't go as far here as it would somewhere else. Also my job is location dependent, so moving isn't an option.
As stated in the title, I recently inherited $350,000. It's a decent amount of money, but it's not like I can quit my job and live off it. I'd like to invest it in such a way that it grows quickly for a while. Once it reaches a more significant amount, I would diversify further. Here are the companies I'm most interested in investing in. (\\\*)Companies are the ones I'm least interested in investing in, (\\\^)Companies are the ones I'm most interested in investing in, and I'm equally interested in the rest of the companies.
\\\*AAPL - Apple
\\\^AMD - Advanced Micro Devices
\\\*AMZN - Amazon
ASML - ASML Holding N.V.
\\\^AVGO - Broadcom
DELL - Dell Technologies
\\\*GOOGL - Alphabet
INTC - Intel
\\\*MSFT - Microsoft
MU - Micron Technology
\\\^NVDA - NVIDIA
SNDK - Sandisk
\\\^STX - Seagate
\\\^TSM - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
WWDC - Western Digital
The companies I'm most interested in are (In descending order) NVIDIA, AMD, TSM, Broadcom, and Seagate. Three days ago I started paper trading on my top 3 stocks with $350k on Webull, and I'm already up $9,500. I know stocks can be volatile and they go up and down. But this seems like a no-brainer to me. Am I missing something?

I like IXN over VGT. World Tech, TSM, ASML, & SKHY are included.

lotto $470C on TSM for $4.45

TSM 500 next week

TSM has been a monster today. I was hoping for a pullback so I could close CCS, but looks like I am taking max loss.

last earnings season the whole world was waiting for TSM and ASML to charge the next AI bull run. They reported great numbers and they just tanked after and nothing happened. What's gonna happen in a week or two when they report this time?

TSM about to breakout.

What was your job and living expenses that allowed you to save ~50k+ a year since 2012?
That financial situation far more integral than the VOO lmao. Imagine throwing all that into AMD, MU, TSM, etc instead for example. VOO isn't the magic sauce here, even if it's a great ETF.

I have a 5% position in EUV. Yesterday was a big indicator of what I want to see. ASML and TSM barely moved, but the whole bucket raged.

Whole economy in recession with inflation already below 1.5%.
All sectors excluding AI-ponzi vibe.
Only index high by AI-Ponzi vibe & dc-vibe with daily media appearances & media invite AI analysts & sing 1000 times AI,AI
$NVDA $MU $MSFT $META $GOOG $TSM $QQQ
Too Big to Fail

50/50 - but 10yr treasuries instead of shorter & S&P. Sell those treasuries when rates drop and turn around and buy $O, $VST, & $TSM
