Fantastic

NVDA only down about 1% while the rest of the chip space got wrecked. relative strength on an ugly day, the leader holds up better as usual

This is the biggest AI week of the year. NVDA reports, Google I/O drops Gemini 3 plus AI glasses, AMD Dev Day talks MI400 software. My bet: NVDA beats but guidance soft enough to cause a 3% pullback, then ramps back. Bottom line, hold the core, trim 10% into the print, buy back the dip

AVGO beats tonight and guides higher. Custom silicon from Alphabet, Meta, ByteDance is compounding. The networking + AI ASIC story just got validated by MRVL today. AVGO is next. Call it 📸

Apple's "major AI advances" at WWDC is catch-up mode. On-device AI could drive upgrade cycle

AVGO still getting attention after that 35B AI financing platform. the picks-and-shovels guy became the bank 🏦

Global chip export controls are a double-edged sword: protects US AI leadership but accelerates China's domestic semiconductor push

$BitMine Immersion Tech(BMNR.US)  has been the subject of much discussion lately due to its ever-growing ETH holdings, which many see as an indicator of the crypto cycle. However, the problem is that this type of "balance sheet buying" strategy can lead to a deeper price pullback than ETH itself if market risk appetite declines.....

held through the run up so im holding through this. optical interconnect is a multi year story, one red day does not end it. not adding yet though

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) TSMC's record first-quarter profit — net income up 58% year-over-year — arrives at a moment when policymakers and economists are actively debating whether AI-driven capital expenditure can sustain broader growth if consumer demand softens under tariff pressure. The results suggest the two cycles may be more decoupled than assumed. Hyperscaler infrastructure spending appears largely insulated from trade policy uncertainty in the near term, though TSMC's updated capex guidance ($52–56B for the year) and any commentary on Arizona fab timelines will be closely read by those tracking how U.S.-China tech decoupling reshapes global semiconductor investment flows.

Western Digital Bucked the Chip Selloff. That Is Worth a Look.

Not touching it pre-earnings, too binary, rather react after

S&P 500 closed at an all-time high last session. 8 of 11 sectors finished in the red. That's not a typo. The index hit ATH while the majority of its components declined. Maximum concentration in a handful of AI mega-cap names is what produced this outcome. When breadth diverges this sharply from the index level, I watch two things immediately: VIX (the volatility index) term structure and SKEW. If short-dated VIX stays suppressed while SKEW rises, it tells you the options market is hedging against a sharp move that the index price isn't reflecting yet. That's a setup where a single leadership rotation triggers an outsized drawdown, not a gradual drift. This doesn't mean the rally is over. Narrow markets can stay narrow for longer than bears expect, especially when the leadership names keep producing earnings that justify the concentration. But entering new long positions when 8 of 11 sectors are already declining at an index ATH is a different risk posture than entering when breadth is broad. Size accordingly.

TipRanks shows $SPDR Gold Shares.US   investor sentiment "Very Positive". 3.3% more holders last 30 days, 0.9% last week. Under 35 crowd up 0.3%, over 55 up 5.5%. Old money still loves gold. Stock at $481.28, 174B AUM. 👴

$Alibaba.US The stock just keeps bouncing up and down a couple of bucks all day—at this point, all this back-and-forth has left me with nothing but frustration. I don't even trust what I see on the screen anymore.
