$Seagate Tech(STX.US)
Post 5 Ep.26
A few days ago, I was trying to decide what to buy for the great market sale. The only companies that impressed me were SKHY, Sandisk and Seagate. I decided on Sandisk, Seagate and the tech indexes of SMH and SOXX.

I was looking at the various companies that reported earnings this week and was very impressed with two in particular. STX and Sandisk. Bought both as well as SMH and SOXX for the more diversified tech basket.
Luckily SOXX, being a semi counter that moves along with the earnings, qualifies as an earning counter for this week’s episode.

What a sale the market is offering at the moment. There are so many good counters on sale! Cannot make up my mind so decided to buy SMH since it contains so many good tech counters including almost all the earning counters of this week’s episode.

The market looks bearish but IMO is offering the discount of the year before it rallies into the year-end. NFA but looks like a good place to look for bargains!

I was looking at the earning counters for this episode and feel like Seagate has the most upside potential. And I am happy that I decided to initiate a position yesterday on market open discount.
Now as market looks to pull back, I am thinking of adding more.

The Feds stayed put which was pretty much expected and the market remained steady. If the market remains strong and dips get bought, we might see a nice rally into the year end.

Seagate has been on my radar for a while. Decided to wait for its earnings results before initiating a position.
Was happy to see the market giving a discount post-earnings!

More earnings to come this week as well as the pivotal Fed meeting. Tech looks to be mounting a comeback but it looks like capital is rotating back from financials.

Looks like big tech earnings and the Fed meeting will influence what the market does this week. Tech is very much oversold with fundamentals still pretty strong.

$Broadcom(AVGO.US)
Post 5 Ep.25
Context: Broadcom has been active in Singapore’s new advanced semiconductor substrate facility. While investors often focus on custom AI accelerators and networking chips, producing these increasingly sophisticated devices requires specialised packaging materials. Broadcom is taking steps to address that bottleneck directly.
My trade: This adds an interesting dimension to my Broadcom thesis. Through its partnership with TOPPAN, the company is strengthening access to the advanced substrates required for its next-generation AI and networking products. For me, this is about more than expanding capacity. It is about reducing supply-chain vulnerabilities that could otherwise limit growth, even when customer demand remains exceptionally strong.
Takeaway: Having the best chip design means little if you cannot manufacture enough of it. In an increasingly capacity-constrained AI industry, securing the ability to deliver may become just as important as securing the customer orders themselves. Sometimes competitive advantage is built long before the finished product reaches the market.

$AMD(AMD.US)
Post 4 Ep.25
Context: AMD recently introduced Helion, its new infrastructure blueprint designed specifically for agentic AI. While much of the AI investment narrative has focused on GPU performance, autonomous AI agents introduce another challenge. They don’t just generate answers. They execute tasks, retrieve information, coordinate workflows and interact with applications — activities that also demand substantial CPU resources.
My trade: This adds an interesting dimension to my AMD thesis. With Helion supporting configurations of up to 32,768 EPYC CPU cores per rack, AMD is positioning itself to benefit from both sides of the AI equation: GPUs for model inference and CPUs for agent execution. The architecture is still at an early stage, but I see the potential for AMD to capture more value as AI evolves beyond chatbots into autonomous systems.
Takeaway: The next phase of AI may not simply be about generating intelligence faster. It could be about putting that intelligence to work efficiently. If GPUs are the brains powering AI, CPUs may increasingly become the machinery that turns those thoughts into actions. And that’s a potentially powerful opportunity for AMD.

I believe the market pullback is healthy especially in tech. Much needed if we want the bull market to continue which has been pretty resilient considering all the headlines and narratives.
