Replying to @JohnTinsmanAOT
Other is primarily Kioxia, FX also worth excluding in my opinion. Kept tax rate around 24%
Busy week so wasn’t very activate. I liked Meta’s results but the reaction was understandable given the future dilution signal. $GOOG has basically been dead since they diluted.

Not a pretty week for me. I spent some time reflecting and I still wonder what the true lessons and takeaways are. Had I owned pretty much any other semi stocks, I would have fared a lot better. I understand that I have chosen to long companies that are cyclical, but I still struggle to understand why the money printers that are trading at 2027 book value are getting beaten to death. If the large AI risks truly play out, it totally makes sense for my stocks to fall to book value. I can't speak on the high flyers, but how does it make any sense for them to holding up better?
I posted a little bit about my thoughts this week, with the Livermore story on breaking oats to cover his corn but I want to expand a bit. Korea is a thin market that is dominated by Samsung and Hynix. Micron trades over 5x the dollar volume of Samsung and Hynix. Nvidia, Broadcom, SanDisk, AMD, Intel, all trade well more dollar volume than Samsung/Hynix. Even neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius trade at over half of the dollar volume despite being a tiny fraction of the market cap.
So, if you are trying to bring AI stocks down, is the most logical method not to try to nuke Korea and have that sentiment ripple over to American AI stocks? The obvious risk is getting caught offside but with KOSPI futures, EWY, Samsung GDR, Hynix GDR and ADR, SK Square, SK Inc, it seems relatively easy to put this trade on and then find an exit route/hedge.
Anyway, always willing to learn so if someone has thoughts or opinions I'd be glad to heard them.

Thank you all for the support, the likes, the shares, and ideas.🤝
Samsung is expected to post a ~$79B operating profit tonight, the largest of any company in history. Yes that’s right, even more than $NVDA made last quarter.
But expectations are sky-high and the strong won is a major headwind. The market is not looking for a record, it's looking for a surprise. Will it be enough?
