$Roundhill Memory ETF(DRAM.US)

I recently bought DRAM shares for direct exposure to memory chips, which are key to AI development, instead of only relying on broad semiconductor funds.

The position is sized within my usual portfolio range and is intended for long-term holding. I only review it during regular portfolio check-ins and don’t trade based on short-term moves.

I'm just sharing my personal experience, not financial advice.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)

I still think AI demand keeps growing from data centers to training and inference. The cycle is still strong. NVIDIA is right at the center of it, and I honestly respect how Jensen Huang sees it as a full shift in computing, not just a hype cycle.

What I find impressive is the execution. Jensen focuses on building full-stack infrastructure, not just selling chips, and that makes the long-term story feel very solid.

For me, this is all part of the process, not a turning point.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

TSM pulled back after hitting 410, down about 1.36% today, but the uptrend is still intact.

This looks more like a pause than weakness. TSM is still core to the AI supply chain, from advanced chips to data centers. Its moat remains extremely strong.

I’m not focused on short term moves. If the fundamentals stay solid, dips are just noise. I’m staying long and holding through volatility.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Pro Ultr GLD(UGL.US)

Gold prices moved this week and UGL followed the daily swings. I have been holding my position without adding more, even when it pulled back from recent highs, as my current average cost is relatively high.

The position size remains unchanged and within my usual range. I continue to watch the daily movements while sticking to my existing plan.

This is just my personal sharing and experience, not financial advice.

$Robinhood(HOOD.US)

HOOD’s user growth is still going up and that is the main reason the thesis still holds.

For monetization I care more about whether trading revenue and interest income are actually growing with usage rather than just account numbers or headlines.

[Week 2 – My Portfolio Health Check: Earnings Season in Progress]

1. Core & Structure:

FIX remains my largest holding at over 55% weight. It reported strong Q1 results with big revenue growth, doubled EPS, and a record backlog. I still keep it as the core due to its stable business and ongoing data center demand. The rest is spread across tech, semiconductors and fintech, but concentration has increased.

2. Performance & Earnings:

This week’s performance was mainly driven by AI names. WDC led with strong gains on data center storage demand. CIEN and TSM also rose nicely on AI networking and foundry strength. CW edged up, while HOOD lagged and UGL fell with gold price volatility. NVDA is flat but remains a key watch.

3. Positioning & Risk:

Concentration has gone higher due to the core and strong performers. I know the risk but am not planning changes now. I will continue monitoring fundamentals and backlog trends. UGL provides a small hedge and HOOD adds fintech exposure.

Overall, Earnings Season has just started and we are seeing clear winners and laggards. Next I will watch CW earnings and AI infrastructure reactions. I plan to keep doing weekly reviews and stay disciplined.

#My Portfolio Health Check

$Western Digital(WDC.US)

Today the stock jumped over 5% after strong earnings beat with revenue up 45%.

I continue to hold my shares through the usual volatility.

In the long run the cheap high density storage moat for AI data lakes looks solid.

This is just my personal sharing and experience, not financial advice.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Ciena(CIEN.US)

I stay in CIEN as long as it holds above the rising 20, 50, and 200 EMAs. The alignment of these moving averages keeps the trend intact.

The 20 EMA is my first line of support, with the 50 EMA as the key level I watch on pullbacks. I’ll add into strength fading toward those areas as long as the structure stays healthy.

If price breaks below the 50 EMA, that’s when I start to rethink the position.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Curtiss Wright(CW.US)

I hold CW because it sits at the base of AI deployment. AI does not stop at software. It moves into engineering and physical systems, and Cw has been there for years. Its moat comes from experience, certifications, and long term relationships that are hard to replicate.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Western Digital(WDC.US)

WDC is down to 390.99 and right on long term ascending support.

Seen this kind of move a few times over the past months. Usually just shakes out weaker hands.

Intraday breakdown signals do not mean much to me in this context.

Key for me is whether it actually closes below on the daily.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

Seeing my TSM position sitting on a 41.42% gain is just the natural reward for extreme patience.

​The stock is hovering near 404 today as it digests the massive run from my original entry point.

​I know the smart money is busy shaking out the weak hands who blindly chased the recent highs.

​My plan is to just hold the line until the underlying trend actually shatters.

​This is just my personal sharing and experience, not financial advice.

[Week 1 – My Portfolio Health Check: How My Portfolio Is Positioned]

1. Core & Structure:

Comfort Systems USA is my main position and has grown into a large weight. I’m comfortable holding it as a core given its relatively stable and predictable business.

The rest of the portfolio is spread across tech, cyclicals and some defensive exposure, mainly to avoid relying on a single driver.

2. Performance & Earnings:

Returns are currently driven by a few stronger positions, while others are lagging, which I see as part of the structure.

I’m also watching NVIDIA’s earnings. Expectations are already high, so the reaction likely matters more than the numbers.

3. Positioning:

The portfolio is clearly a bit concentrated at this point, mainly due to the core position growing over time.

I’m aware of it, but not looking to make any quick changes. As long as the underlying business holds up, I’m comfortable letting it run and seeing how things play out.

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

I looked at the Q1 earnings released on April 16. With profits up 58%, it feels like a lot of the market’s concerns have been cleared up.

The capex target is still around the $56B ceiling, which tells me demand for AI infrastructure is still very strong and probably far from peaking.

For me, this stock is basically the core holding in my portfolio, because almost every major chip designer eventually relies on its manufacturing.

This is just my personal experience and perspective, not financial advice.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Pro Ultr GLD(UGL.US)

Gold has been consolidating after the recent push higher, and the structure still looks constructive.

UGL remains positioned within this broader macro trend, supported by ongoing structural demand for gold.

This is just my personal sharing and experience, not financial advice.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)

NVDA’s current pre-market dip comes after several days of gains and reflects a rise in overall risk aversion. This is not about AI demand weakening, but a short-term repricing of high-growth stocks.

I still see NVDA as a long-term compounding asset. The key is whether AI-driven demand for compute continues to expand across industries. As long as that trend holds, short-term noise doesn’t change the thesis.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Western Digital(WDC.US)

WDC provides the storage that AI runs on, like the basic supply for all data. That kind of position is very hard for others to replace.

I don’t need to guess which AI company will win. I would rather own the foundation that all of them depend on. Good investing is not about constant action, it is about having the patience to let a solid idea work over time.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

​I am watching TSM closely as it surges back to the $370.50 level.

​The chart just executed a flawless mechanical bounce right off its key moving averages.

I am simply holding my ground and letting the momentum challenge the previous highs.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

I am holding TSM exposure, with the market now clearly focused on upcoming earnings and forward guidance around AI demand.

At current levels, a lot of the AI optimism is already priced in. In the short term, if guidance does not get meaningfully upgraded, volatility is likely to increase.

I am not reacting to short term noise or headline swings. The key variable is still the strength of AI demand and how management frames the outlook.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Curtiss Wright(CW.US)

I got into CW mainly as a sector rotation play. I wasn’t too interested in chasing tech at the time, so I started looking at defense names showing relative strength.

CW stood out with solid earnings, a strong backlog, and consistent contract wins.

It felt like a good way to get exposure to the defense cycle without taking on the extra risk that comes with smaller names.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Robinhood(HOOD.US)

I’ve been holding HOOD for a while now, and honestly my thinking around it has shifted a few times as price action and sentiment changed. At first I was just following momentum, but lately I’ve been trying to understand how tied it is to trading volume cycles and overall market mood.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

TSMC Q1 revenue grew ~35% YoY, confirming strong AI demand. Advanced nodes and CoWoS are fully loaded, supply still lags, especially 3nm and advanced packaging. AI demand already visible into 2026+.

What stands out to me is that the real moat in AI is advanced manufacturing capacity, and TSMC is the only one operating at this scale today.

NVIDIA drives demand through chip design, while TSMC is the bottleneck that turns that demand into real compute. This structure is unlikely to change in the near term.

I see TSMC as the foundation of the AI supply chain. It is not a trade for me but a structural position. As long as AI keeps growing, it captures upstream value.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Direxion Semicon Bull 3X(SOXL.US)

Today, SOXL showed high volatility while maintaining strong momentum in the semiconductor sector.

It continues to track the strength of leaders like NVIDIA and TSMC, with amplified moves due to its 3x leverage, making it more suited for short term trading.

@Bridge Buzz SG

$Microsectors Gold Miners 3x Leveraged ETN(GDXU.US)

Gold miners seem to be picking up steam again today. GDXU is trading around 249.68 and the chart shows a pretty decent recovery from those April lows.

Personally I think the support at 200 is holding up well enough for a short term trade. Just going to watch the price action for now and see if the volume stays high.

#NewDiscussionZones

$Proshares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF(SQQQ.US)

I’ve been reviewing the technical data for SQQQ, and the RSI is currently sitting in oversold territory below the 30 level.

At the same time, the MACD histogram is showing a decline in bearish momentum. From my perspective, this could open the door for a short term bounce in price.

That said, I’m staying cautious. The broader trend of the Nasdaq index remains very strong, which makes me careful about taking any aggressive positions in an inverse ETF like this.

# NewDiscussion Zones

$Arm(ARM.US)

I have been watching Arm Holdings plc and the chart looks like it is stabilizing after some choppy moves. Price has been moving in a range around 140 to 150, and I feel like buyers are slowly stepping in. If it holds this area, there could be a mild push higher, but volume is not strong so I would not expect a big breakout yet.

On the fundamental side, I still like the long term story with its strong position in mobile chips and growing AI demand. The business model brings steady revenue, which I think is a plus. That said, valuation feels a bit high to me, so I prefer to wait for dips instead of chasing.
