> First, and most importantly, the geopolitical risk from China is overweighted, and currently suppresses TSM’s valuation in a meaningful way. Whether or not we agree on this point, why should the markets ever change their mind? Especially with China developing a stronger and stronger military every year? TSMC isn't a value trap, but the dynamic you opened with is exactly what makes a value trap. Added value that you can see and the rest of the world doesn't. What's set to trigger their epiphany?

Mentions:#TSM

TSM is a great business. I own it. That said, it’s always traded a discount to its fair value due to the geopolitical risk. It’s a great investment but don’t expand the multiple to re-rate anytime soon. The China threat won’t go away and while it’s low likelihood they invade in the next decade, it’s not zero.

Mentions:#TSM

This is a really great point. I looked into this further too. When China conducted its largest military exercises around Taiwan in decades following the Pelosi visit in 2022 with live fire drills encircling the island, TSM fell approximately 3% and recovered. The market has already stress-tested this risk and answered it.

Mentions:#TSM

china dont care. that risk will always be there (i hold TSM)

Mentions:#TSM

Space is a genuine emerging demand driver for advanced chips, but it's not yet a significant TSMC revenue line in the way AI is. Space industry's move toward commercial scale (Starlink, Amazon Kuiper, the EU's Iris 2) represents an entirely new category of chip demand that didn't exist meaningfully five years ago. As those constellations scale and require more sophisticated onboard compute, they'll eventually need leading-edge nodes, which is TSM's category. Space X has spoken about making a fab plant in Austin, TX, but I find it unlikely they'll have much success ramping it up to speed in time (such was the case with Intel). This represents a possible tailwind near the 3-5 year point of my thesis.

Mentions:#TSM

I agree with your premise, but with their expansion and building of fabrication plants in the US, TSM is diversifying that risk away.   It’s only a matter of time before the China risk becomes irrelevant.  The longer China waits to invade (if they do at all), the less likely the company will be tremendously impacted.  So trim to take profits sure, that’s absolutely necessary, but I’m glad you’re continuing to hold some.  

Mentions:#TSM

Same bro. Sold SPCE for a loss 2 weeks ago and spent over an hour studying RCAT at the same time and pussied out of buying any so I could put my money into AVGO and TSM instead

MU and AMD are fine for at least 18-36 months. SNDK needs a 10:1 split to lure in more retail investors who balk at $1700. TSM? TSM is ***\_THEE\_*** global benchmark but their chart is goofy. It looks like a bunny jumping up a hill which will lure you in to wanting to time it, but just buy whenever you are ready.

I think NVDA might announce a CPU for PC next week, or a some kind of device with ARM processor. Long NVDA, ARM, TSM, DRAM and short AMD, could be the way to play it 🤔. INTC and QCOM would be losers too, but those stocks are too hyped and they could also announce new products, so dangerous to short. [https://x.com/nvidia/status/2060390710797328574](https://x.com/nvidia/status/2060390710797328574)

Where did you get the info that TSM didn't attract enough retail investments? Like you are saying that a vast majority of it it's just institutional? I would be curious to see how much vs other stocks that went up recently.

Mentions:#TSM

TSM is a very efficient and well run company. Intel is also a very good company. As for stocks, TSM has never been off its all time high for 20 straight years.

Mentions:#TSM

Haha, I just bought TSM and had the exact same thoughts as you. However, I did like 5% instead of 30%

Mentions:#TSM

interesting narrative and I was looking at TSM for same reasons. I have two issues with moving 30% in this company. **-** Samsung just signed a $16.5B foundry deal with Tesla (2025–2033) for its AI6 chips. That's the only credible near-term threat to the moat narrative and it goes unaddressed. It doesn't break your thesis, but that makes me nervous. **-** Also I dont think retail is missing on this trade, TSM is already up \~107% over 12 months. I think the retail wave has largely arrived. Is this a trade for you or long term position ?

Mentions:#TSM

I have family in Taiwan and the ETFs for the local companies that supply TSM have grown even faster than TSM itself. It is like buying a leveraged TSM but without increasing any risk. It is the easiest money there is to make, but there is no way to buy these if you are not Taiwanese. The entire Taiwanese economy is being lifted by TSM. The GDP of Taiwan grew by almost 9% last year, which is insane for a developed country.

Mentions:#TSM

Moore's Law has effectively plateaued but this actually strengthens the TSM thesis. As shrinking transistors becomes physically harder, the value shifts from printing smaller chips to packaging, interconnects, and advanced integration. TSM owns this space too. Their advanced packaging revenue is growing faster than their core foundry business. The complexity of modern chip design now requires capabilities that only TSM has at scale. Not just the fab, but the entire ecosystem around it. The plateau expands TSM's relevance. The path to better performance still runs directly through TSM, just in three dimensions instead of two.

Mentions:#MSFT#ARM#TSM

Fair point. It should get better once pension funds, etfs, are able to buy more easily. 168 ETFs currently hold TSM, so institutional access via the ADR route is already substantial. Every major semiconductor ETF, emerging markets ETF, and most broad technology ETFs hold TSM already. In addition, the Taiwan-listed shares trade at a \~19x 2026 forward PE versus \~22x for the ADR, suggesting the underlying fundamentals are even more attractive than the NYSE price implies.

Mentions:#TSM

Not good for USA economic security to have most manafacturing done there. TSM won’t bring latest nodes to states. That’s why we have Intel manufacturing chips. AMD is the Taiwan shield company. And have nowhere anywhere near the CPU market share that INTC has in data centers and pc’s. 70%-30%. Don’t see the fanboy hype. And don’t tell me their chips are better than Intel now because that’s false. Too much risk with AMD for a long Sanctions or tariffs geopolitics

This is not priced in. BTDR is developing AI chips. They have created world class silicion chips for mining crypto and recently for mining alt coins which uses heavy memory intensive algorithms, very similar to AI chips. So how do I know for sure? They have posted job hirings for AI chip software, which is the last layer on the AI chips. So they are far into development and already have a relationship with TSM and tons of experience in chip production. Dont get me started on how under valued their energy infrastructure is. They are also almost finished with their data center in Tydal , Norway. It will be the largest datacenter in Europe. They are in advance negotiations with a Tennant. JP Morgan is helping with the deal.

Right now I’m still adding to AI infrastructure and semis. My biggest convictions are NVDA, TSM, AVGO and the SMH ETF. The thesis is pretty simple: regardless of which AI applications ultimately win, the chips, networking and data center infrastructure are getting paid first. I’m also watching robotics names. If AI actually delivers on productivity gains, I think automation ends up being one of the biggest second-order winners over the next decade. One thing I’ve found useful lately is comparing different investment theses before buying. I actually use an app called Cats of Wall Street (https://catsofws.com/) where different AI “cats” pitch stocks from different perspectives. Sounds completely ridiculous at first, but it’s surprisingly useful for stress-testing ideas and finding tickers I might have missed before doing my own DD. My focus is definitely growth over dividends right now. I think AI infrastructure, semis and automation still have more runway than most people expect.

I did a deep dive on this with Gemini. Take this with a grain of salt, but what Gemini is telling me is that the most commonly used model models, google Gemini and anthropic Claude (which is running on AWS) are using their own training and influenced chips (ASIC) This takes market share away from Nvidia training and inference chips. On the training side, the newest generation ASICs are being cooled using D2C and the same cooling mechanism is also gaining ground on the inference side. So assuming the future is D2C cooled ASIC, the play is to buy AVGO, MRVL, FLEX, VRT, TSM. On the buyer side, GOOG, AMZN and META. Note that NVDA is still in the game but I do have a feeling that they are going to be a victim of the ASIC trend.

I find Meta to be so interesting. I listen to a ton of podcasts on investing. Pretty much what I do all day while working out. It is the one company I see so much different than the podcasters. I am nowhere near as bullish on Meta as Google or Amazon or TSM or Nvidia, and several others. Heck I like MSFT a lot better than Meta. It piques my curiosity that I see it so much different than others.

This is probably the most insane this market has ever been. I don‘t even know where to look anymore: TSM rallies +5% randomly pre market, MU goes up hundreds of percent, Snow pumps over 30% after hours, meta does almost 4% randomly, apple, amazon, google all time highs……

Here''s what I will do - wait for fund manager's to trim those positions to raise cash (i.e. NVIDIA drops 10% or so) and then go in get the stock at a discount. Nvidia executes buybacks, EPS goes up, and anthropic and X are now even better funded to buy more NVIDIA (and other AI hardware, maybe TSM is a play too, and Cerebras).

Mentions:#TSM

> You can have a long, grinding decade of subpar returns vs peers while the rest of the semi stack compounds faster Sure, though I'd classify that as "opportunity cost" rather than "risk". Risk is measured vs a baseline, and the standard baseline is the risk-free rate, not the competition in one of the highest volatility sectors on the market. As for INTC vs TSMC, TSMC has its own complications, there's always the whole Chinese aggression angle. And the two companies aren't exactly equivalent. One's a pure fab shop and the other's a chip designer. To me it's actually ARM that is the more "existential" danger compared to Intel, because both AMD and Intel will be trading blows as long as x86 is the way things go. And Intel's diversifying into GPUs with Arc and that gives them a plan B in future if x86 does bite the bullet. TSM, on the other hand, as long as they're a cutting edge fab there will be customers. But they don't have chip designs of their own, they're purely a fab. It's the same thing - if they fall behind on fab tech, they will be able to continue making lower tiers of cheaper stuff for quite a while. The thing with tech is that over a 10 year span any leader can become a lagger and vice versa. Remember AMD Bulldozer? Back in 2015 not a lot of people were predicting AMD to smoke Intel going forward. It could easily reverse in one architectural upgrade or startup purchase.

TSMC's moat is worth understanding at a deeper level before comparing it to other picks. It's not just node leadership — it's CoWoS advanced packaging. Virtually every major AI accelerator (Nvidia Blackwell, AMD Instinct, Google TPUs) has to route through TSMC's packaging capacity, not just their fabs. That's a separate bottleneck from chip manufacturing and it's one competitors can't replicate quickly. That structural lock-in is what makes TSM a different category of bet than a typical foundry play.

The Iran war has been irrelevant for 2 months, nothing is going to change that now with or without a deal. Things to keep an eye on: Jensen and Lisa are in Taipei for Computex and to pay their respects to TSM June 2-5. FOMC June 16-17 (PCE Thursday May 28).

TSM is the only and most obvious answer.

Completely different companies. Intel is a chip maker thats getting their foundry business up and running to compete with TSM. dell assembles and sells racks at very very low margins. Both good companies but intc is the better play by far

Past performance bias is real, but TSM's execution and moat still justify holding. Just don't anchor on 2017 prices.

TSM and AVGO feel like the easiest cases to hold long term to me because they’re already deeply tied into the actual AI infrastructure stack, not just the narrative around it. They’re not cheap anymore either, but at least there’s a real business underneath the hype. PLTR is the one I go back and forth on. Great positioning, sticky customers, tons of momentum, but the valuation assumes they execute almost perfectly for years. Could still work, just feels less forgiving at these levels. QBTS and IONQ are basically venture bets in public markets. Nothing wrong with taking a small position if you believe in quantum long term, but I’d personally size them like lottery tickets, not core holdings. The tech is interesting, but commercial timelines still feel super uncertain to me. I think the next Nvidia framing is what gets people into trouble honestly. Nvidia had insane timing plus near monopoly-level positioning. That combination is rare.

TSM and AVGO are the two best choices. Everything else I will drop.

You should retitle this to: “What stocks are you buying when WW3 starts?” Because if China invades Taiwan, WW3 has a 150% chance of starting. A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would affect the whole world and every single major market. Every stock except recession-defense stocks would be down. An invasion of Taiwan is a black swan event, not something that will only affect TSM and semiconductors stocks. It will have giant implications on every part of life.

"TSM and AVGO feel way more like actual businesses" FEEL LIKE ACTUAL BUISNESSES??? they are the best of the best - you should maybe spend your time at a casino in Vegas

None of quantum computing companies is profitable. I wouldn’t call them scams but they aren’t far from it. PLTR, AVGO, and TSM are absolutely solid companies making insane profits; however, they are all priced sky high at the moment. They are worth watching until the next panic but I personally wouldn’t buy them right now - of course, I own all three.

Just hold for longer, set a trailing stop, maybe 20%, if you’re worried about losing money. Or sell 1/2 at ATH and keep the rest. I’ve successfully used this strategy with some big wins (MSFT since 98, AAPL since 2012, NVDA since 2020, currently holding AVGO AMD TSM MRVL GOOG - all with trailing stops that haven’t triggered, still riding them on the way up). Also I bought META when PE was low, around 200 a share, these aren’t dogshit stocks if you hold for longer and have conviction. Tha said, 90% of my money is VT and chill, 10% play money is for fun.

bro solid list you got here. a mix of "build the pickaxe" plays and pure speculation. here is my honest breakdown after tracking these. Quantum (IONQ & QBTS) — watchlist only for now. I know the growth numbers look insane like IONQ grew revenue 755% to $65M but they are still burning $330M a year. QBTS has weak sales too only $2.9M. The whole sector lives on government grants right now like the $2B quantum fund but these companies will be burning cash for years. Too risky to bet big on. Keep them on a watchlist. Palantir (PLTR) — solid but expensive. The business is growing fast 71% guidance for 2026 and earnings keep beating estimates. But the price is just too high. It trades at a P/E near 150 while NVDA trades at 41 despite similar growth rates. People call it the next Nvidia but the valuation leaves almost no room for error. A pullback would hurt. Broadcom (AVGO) — the real AI winner. This is the pick for me. AI revenue is exploding up 106% to $8.4B in Q1 alone with next quarter projected at $10.7B. Total revenue forecast at $22B for Q2 thats 47% annual growth. Citi called it the top semi pick for 2026 with a $500 target. Strong profitable business not just hype. TSMC (TSM) — the foundation of AI. TSMC builds everything for Nvidia Broadcom AMD. AI demand is "extremely robust". Shares are up 33% YTD. The only risk is margin pressure from overseas fab expansion and Taiwan geopolitics. A solid long term hold but maybe not the fastest grower. The Next Nvidia? Broadcom is the best positioned. It supplies all the hyperscalers unlike Nvidia which is more concentrated. Palantir valuation makes it hard to see Nvidia-like returns from here. I do my research with Runable just pulling financials and tracking analyst targets for all my picks. My take: Buy Broadcom. Hold TSMC. Watchlist Palantir. Skip quantum for now till they prove they can make money not just burn it.

Think the biggest issue is that fabrication for the CPUs takes from fabrication of GPUs. In the end it all comes down to TSM.

This sounds nice in theory, but people chase "next Nvidia" way harder than they ask "how much hype is already priced in?" Not gonna lie, I'd personally put QBTS and IonQ in watchlist territory for now. TSM and AVGO feel way more like actual businesses, while quantum still feels early enough that you're kinda betting on a future story more than fundamentals.

Pick a philosophy and stick to it. For years. Mine is sell shovels in a gold rush. I don’t try to find the gold. I find the companies that sell the equipment. Unfortunately, my hedge to my shovel blew up and I’m way over ledgered on Nvidia and AMD. I made a play on TSM two years ago and that is doing well too. I literally didn’t look at my stock account since before the war with Iran. Recently looked at it and was half part WTF and happy.

I remember when Buffett sold TSM when it was like $80 a share.

3 companies going public for same reason and only 1 will top Anthropic.  Everyone w any common sense will hold their investment dollars - which means capex for AMD, NVDA, MU, CRWV, SNDK all unstable - winners GOOG, AMZN - TSM needs to move to US asap any investment now (AMD) huge risk - China appears empowered (record leaders visiting in few months) 

if true, wouldn't TSM be dropping like a rock from insiders who know to sell? I'm a newbie so I really don't know

LLY bull here - Retatrutide is going to un-fuck america's fat gaping obese ass. You know how some people say "theyll never cure cancer because there is too much money in treating it"? Obesity as at that crossroad now, with retatrutide's pending approval. I believe obesity will basically be a thing of the past, atleast in 1st world countries, in the next 7 to 10 years... Some highlights from the clinical trials... 28% bodyweight loss after 68 weeks. Reversing fatty liver and a litany of metabolic dysfunctions associated with it. Insulin resistance dissapearing. Curing knee osteoathritis. Increasing cartilege thickness by an avg of 17%. The glucagon receptor is the next frontier you are looking for if you want to invest in glp-1's, it has been overlooked and misunderstood by the scientific community for the last 80 years since its discovery. I am long LLY until reta gets approved (it will). I am even contemplating injecting it into myself, to lose weight and help heal a life ruining herniated disc spinal injury i sustained 45 days ago. I have two 24mg vials, the 27 guage insulin syringes, the bacteriostatic water all ready to go. Just hoping my back gets to a point where I can lift weights again before moving forward, so I can avoid any muscle wasting. Have spend inordinate amounts of time researching it, the negative side effects/risks are the same, if not less prevalent, than all the other glp1's currently on the market. Also, LLY is positioned to be a major trailblazer in the realm of drug discovery via machine learning & AI. They happened to become wall street's golden boy, and got a huge flood of capital right around the same time where the players with the most capital win. Say what you will about AI, if there is one space this technology revolutionizes, its pharmaceuticals. The story of how Eli Lilly discovered vancomycin in the 50s, one of the most powerful antiobiotics ever manufactured, is a great example of WHY AI will transform the space. Buncha dudes in a lab testing 5000 cultures of bacteria from dirt samples around the world, against 50,000 strains of bacteria, one by one, until a particular sample of dirt from a rainforest in borneo happened to contain the special sauce. LLY may not be the one to make the next discovery, i am not typically a bio-pharma investor, but I believe they will likely be the financial engine behind the next discover indirectly. They are the genius bio pharma investors so I just use them and only them to get exposure to the space while the rest of my port is in TSM, SATS, and MSTR 🤪

I bought TSM at the beginning of April and no lie it has gone up every. single. day. since
