$Broadcom(AVGO.US)Broadcom continues to attract attention in October as demand for AI infrastructure remains strong. One major development is its agreement to support Anthropic with up to $42 billion in financing for AI computing infrastructure, strengthening Broadcom’s position in the rapidly growing custom-chip and AI infrastructure market.
Broadcom is also being closely watched ahead of TSMC’s October 15 results, which could provide further clues about AI chip demand and the semiconductor supply chain.
Overall, Broadcom’s AI business remains an important growth story, while investors continue to watch valuation, customer concentration and broader semiconductor-market conditions.

Synopsys thinks it's hard for AI to displace its moat in foundry sign-off. This is an area strongly protected by EDA incumbents Synopsys and Cadence. Startups couldn't break this foundry interface moat.

GOOD MORNING.
Bond Yields are down. Oil hit a 2-week low. Nvidia is at an all time high. The S&P just passed an time high in the pre-markets after adding $500B of marketcap yesterday and now being worth over $70T of marketcap in total.
This is all happening in the midst of some of the worst breadth underneath the index with most sectors like financials and consumer discretionary not really participating. Even many semiconductor names, like the memory stocks, are not fully participating or back to their ATHs.
Tech is the story, particularly large cap tech like $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) $Meta Platforms(META.US) $Alphabet(GOOGL.US) $SpaceX(SPCX.US) $AMD(AMD.US) $Broadcom(AVGO.US) $Microsoft(MSFT.US), and we are seeing those names bring the index to record highs.
If we are seeing these levels on the index with Oil still up massively on the year and Yields still at the highest in 3 years, the question becomes if the market has this wrong and this is a bull trap or if the market is front-running the inevitable decline in yields and oil, which would also imply the chances for a Fed hike will come down substantially.
If it is the latter, things can get really, really fun.

Context: Elon Musk confirmed discussions with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. over possible cooperation on the Terafab chip project. Musk said the talks remain preliminary, leaving the final structure of any partnership unsettled. The discussions follow reports that TSMC is considering ways to participate in Terafab, a planned semiconductor manufacturing initiative tied to Musk's companies. Terafab is intended to provide custom chips for Tesla, SpaceX and xAI as their demand for computing capacity expands. TSMC could potentially operate a Texas factory or provide manufacturing technology while Musk's companies retain a controlling stake.
My Trade: One of my favourite stocks to DCA and just hold as TSMC continues to dominate and expand its partnerships with numerous top companies.
Takeaway: Perhaps one of the regrets is not getting in earlier for TSMC. I was too focused on finding valued stocks at fair prices, and hence saw a few opportunities to enter slip by. I learnt that not all good investments have to be bought at fair prices; learning to read the overall trend line and giving yourself a buffer indicator can allow you to grab hold of opportunities better. @Captain's Treasure

SpaceX & xAI : 10GW–20GW AI Data Center Buildout, Terafab & Supply Chain Strategy
> 10GW compute target (with a 20GW long-term goal) up from ~1.3GW current capacity.
> 60% internal (xAI, SpaceX, Tesla) and 40% external (Anthropic, Google) for the initial 10GW.
> Plans include terrestrial sites, a late 2027 Star Mine space data center, and a 2028 lunar deployment.
> Terafab launching to make proprietary ASICs solely for internal use to dodge geopolitical risks.
> Memphis/South Haven sites mix 3.6–4GW grid, 4GW gas turbines, 2GW Tesla solar, and 2GW Megapack backup.
> Facing tight supply constraints on PCBs, optical modules, transformers, and cooling hardware.

Certain tickers are indeed suitable for Covered Call strategies, which can enhance the performance of your stock holdings. To evaluate the long-term benefits of Covered Calls, we have expanded our backtesting to include more tickers and plotted their cumulative returns and annualized Sharpe ratios in the chart below.
Each ticker has its own unique symbol on the chart. Solid symbols represent a strategy of holding the underlying stock while continuously selling covered calls, whereas hollow symbols represent a simple buy-and-hold strategy.
Holding Period: Oct 2022 – Oct 2026 (4 years total)
Out-of-the-Money (OTM) Strike: 9% premium
DTE = 2 weeks (strictly Friday expirations)
Backtesting over the four-year period reveals that most solid symbols cluster in the bottom-left quadrant, indicating lower Sharpe ratios and lower cumulative returns.
Ideally, we would want to identify a strategy that shifts the solid symbols toward the top-right corner, representing both high Sharpe ratios and high returns.
In fact, three tickers proved highly suitable for Covered Calls over the past four years:
- **TSMC ($Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US))**: Executing Covered Calls yielded higher cumulative returns and a significantly improved Sharpe ratio.
- **Apple ($Apple(AAPL.US))**: While Covered Calls did not generate higher cumulative returns than holding the stock alone, they did improve the Sharpe ratio.
- **Amazon ($Amazon(AMZN.US))**: Covered Calls slightly boosted the Sharpe ratio.
- **Meta ($Meta Platforms(META.US))**: Cumulative returns decreased, but the Sharpe ratio increased.
Out of the 12 tickers analyzed, data from the past four years highlights three specific stocks that benefit from Covered Call strategies. This approach requires no technical analysis or subjective judgment; it is a mechanical execution of selling two-week-to-expiration covered calls every other week. Simply following this routine can enhance the Sharpe ratio for select individual stocks.
Therefore, based on statistical data, it is inaccurate to claim that Covered Calls are entirely ineffective. However, the actual impact varies significantly depending on the individual stock.

1️⃣ After my last July added purchase, the stock advanced as AI infrastructure spending remained strong and demand for leading edge chips stayed resilient. This reinforced confidence in TSMC’s technology leadership and earning outlook.
2️⃣ However, I decided to sell at the below price during last two sessions to lock in gains after a slow rally, while reassessing valuation, macro risks and whether market expectations had become too optimistic.
3️⃣ Looking into next quarter, the outlook remains positive, supported by AI related demand and advanced node adoption. However investors may become more sensitive to valuation, customer spending trends, and any signs of slowing semis demand after the recent surge.$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)

$Direxion Semicon Bull 3X(SOXL.US)
Context:
Today is a good example of why I hold SOXL differently from my individual semiconductor stocks.
Semiconductors are bouncing again after Micron’s strong results and continued AI memory demand. SOXL is up around 4%, with NVDA and MU higher while AVGO is down. Treasury yields are also still adding pressure in the background.
So this isn’t simply “chips are going up again.” There are still a lot of moving pieces.
My Trade:
I’m holding SOXL because I still have conviction in the broader semiconductor cycle, especially as AI continues to drive demand across compute, memory and infrastructure.
But I treat it very differently from NVDA or TSM. SOXL gives me 3x daily exposure, so being right long term isn’t enough. Timing, volatility and position size matter much more.
A strong green day is nice, but I don’t want it to make me forget what I’m actually holding.
Takeaway:
SOXL has taught me that conviction and leverage are two separate decisions.
I can stay bullish on semiconductors without getting more aggressive every time the sector rallies.
The harder question isn’t whether I believe in AI or semiconductors long term. It’s how much leverage I’m comfortable carrying while that story plays out.
