Weak demand in the semiconductor sector:

In the long term, these two are top stocks and shares for the ages. At some point, I would also like to have $8035 in my portfolio.

•

@Shiya I have to stop myself from buying immediately 😂 I'll wait and see what the US stock market says today and the price tomorrow.

•

Smudo@Smudeo

@Shiya The ATH 240 is now available cheaply anyway

•

@PikaPika0105 Do you actually have a cash reserve? I know you barely have a nest egg, but would you put money aside for an unexpected crash? The Fear and Greed Index will soon be at Extreme Greed. I have cash, and need to stop myself from investing it too. 😂

••

@Smudeo Yes, but at the moment I prefer to invest in riskier stocks that can generate higher returns. If I had a larger portfolio, I would hold $8035 as a defensive stock.

••

@Shiya I don't have a money bin now, but I always have the opportunity to organize one. If I find something exciting, I always have something not so exciting that can be liquidated. Or I simply redirect the monthly income. So I think you can be flexible, even without, let's say, a direct cash reserve.

••

@PikaPika0105 My cash reserve is called $RKLB 🤣 But I won't be selling any more shares now.
I could currently keep 5% of my assets aside as a cash reserve. But I will never be able to resist not buying exciting shares. 😅

•

@Shiya have bought more lol

••

@PikaPika0105 what did you buy?
Today -7% simply at $RKLB

••

@Shiya I bought Tokyo Electron after the -18 in two days and some ASML at 600. Yes, RKLB is really difficult today.....

@PikaPika0105 Then my sale was worth it after all. 🤣 I now have plenty of cash on the side. I would even be happy about a crash now.

••

I don't think it makes much difference in the long term whether I take Tokyo Electron or ASML into my portfolio.
Because there is hardly any technical difference between the two performances.
I also wrote a post about this once

••

@Tenbagger2024 simply both. A little more diversification. They control the high-end sector and are indirectly dependent on each other. Tokyo Electron is even cheaper and also pays more dividends for those who are interested.

••

@PikaPika0105
You can also take both into the depot. But you will find that both run pretty much in parallel.
I also have both in my portfolio

•

@Tenbagger2024 if both run well in parallel, I am satisfied

•

Think $AIXA should rise again as a plant manufacturer.

••

@Tenbagger2024 What makes them special? So where are they leaders? Tokyo Electron and ASML are characterized by their dominance and strong moat in their core technologies.

••

@PikaPika0105
I once published an interesting post about Aixtron

••

@Tenbagger2024 Yes, I remember that was interesting. However, I think that different markets are being addressed here. At ASML and TEL it's more the chips in the cutting edge area with <5nm. At Aixtron, it's about the larger, more mature power and automotive chips, which are of course also important.

Venos@Venos

Now; halted by the exchange says Trade Republic….😬

••

@Venos This usually happens in Tokyo when stocks are dropping a lot or too fast.

Memo0606@Memo0606

oh my goodness it's a good thing I didn't buy... now it's getting more attractive ? 🙄

••

@Memo0606 down again nicely today, P/E ratio should be 15 or so. Interesting in the long term.

•

Memo0606@Memo0606

@PikaPika0105 the question why did it go down sick? shitty results and outlook lowered
that scares me
why are you looking positive znd you think it can go down even further

••

@Memo0606
It was clear that Tokyo would also go down after ASML.
Actually, we should have gone short

•

@Memo0606 The main reason was weak demand from China and weak demand for old, mature chips. This did not come as a complete surprise after ASML. In the long term, however, EVERYTHING speaks in favor of Tokyo Electron. They continue to expand their market position in the high-end segment. The semiconductor market is also growing structurally, albeit cyclically, with a number of trends (AI, data centers, electrification, automation.....) that continue to fuel growth. The reaction was ridiculously strong and completely short-term. It could of course go further down for now, but success is inevitable.

Memo0606@Memo0606

@PikaPika0105 the question is when to make the first purchase
