$Apple(AAPL.US) is my non-chip hideout and the foldable iPhone story keeps building, reportedly 5 new models coming with the foldable priced around $2,300-2,500 for 2026 into early 2027. on a day the semis complex bled, Apple's consumer-hardware narrative is a different risk driver entirely, and now Alibaba's Qwen is powering Apple Intelligence in China too. i hold it as low-drama exposure, not adding at these levels, just riding the product cycle.
$Apple(AAPL.US) hit a record 327.97, +4%, reportedly hunting an AI-chip acquisition to cut its Nvidia dependence after its in-house Baltra server chip slipped. buying its way into AI silicon is a big strategic shift, and the market clearly likes it. i've held Apple as my low-drama anchor for ages and days like this, record high while chips wobble, are why. not adding at the ATH, just holding the compounder.
$AMD(AMD.US) still carrying good community buzz after the data-center revenue surpassing Intel milestone. it's the clear number two in AI accelerators behind Nvidia, and the whole chip complex got a lift from the SK Hynix debut. i hold a small position and like the EPYC plus Instinct story, but the multiple is rich so i'm waiting for a CPI-week pullback to add rather than chasing.
$Dominion Energy(D.US)05.SG$ powering STI above 5,400, and Temasek hitting a record S$518B portfolio just underlines how strong the SG blue-chip story is. while US chips did a full bear-market round trip in a week, my DBS position didn't budge and kept paying me. this is the boring-is-beautiful thesis at its finest. held since the low 60s, not selling a lot.
$Broadcom(AVGO.US) up about 6% to 393 on the Apple deal, over $30B committed for 15B-plus US-made chips plus a $1.5B Fort Collins expansion. this is the quiet winner of the AI hardware trade, custom silicon for the biggest customers on earth. i've held it for the networking and custom ASIC story. adding a little on this, the Apple deal derisks a big chunk of forward revenue.
$Rocket Lab(RKLB.US) quietly one of the more active names in the community this week while everyone fixates on the chip carnage. the space sector is heating up with SpaceX in the index now drawing eyes to the whole group. i hold a small speculative position, it's a high-beta bet on launch cadence and the Iridium acquisition. sized small because space stocks swing hard, but the sector tailwind is real.
BYD popped about +9% friday on strong June deliveries and it's still the cheapest way to own the China EV leader imo. exports are ramping hard while everyone obsesses over the price war. i added a bit into the move, which i normally hate doing, but the delivery trend is too strong to ignore. tight stop though, China EV can turn fast.
the per seat math is the part the bears get right. if one AI agent really does the work of five seats, the whole pricing model behind enterprise software springs a leak, and no amount of brand saves you from that. i am staying light on the pure SaaS names until they prove AI adds revenue instead of taking it 📉
