You Only Need These 6 Semiconductor Stocks
Video Overview & Insights
Semiconductor stocks have outperformed the market by a wide margin in recent years, and many believe this outperformance can continue as AI demand shows no sign of slowing down. Semiconductor companies are a great pick-and-shovel play on the growth of AI, accelerated computing, robotics, autonomy, clean energy, cybersecurity, and more. And if you want to invest in all these great themes with only six stocks, look no further. This video will break down the key leaders in the semiconductor industry: NVIDIA $NVDA in GPUs, Taiwan Semiconductor $TSM for fabrication, $ASML for lithography, SK Hynix for high-bandwidth memory, $ARM for IP, and Broadcom $AVGO for networking switches.

CHAPTERS:
Broadcom, marvel, and micron are great as well. I own them, Nvidia, TSM, AMD, and a few others, as well as Cameco (a rare earth materials company (mainly Uranium), Uber, Google Class A, and a few others. It's set it and forget it. Just dump 20 or 30 bucks into a couple each week, and after a year goes by you'll be amazed. There are some others, dont feel like listing them all, but people mentioned them (i.e. SanDisk, etc)
00:00 Intro
00:34 Why invest in semiconductors?
Muchas gracias por sus videos; se aprende mucho. Un saludo desde Uruguay !!
02:38 How to invest in chip stocks responsibly
03:31 What about a semiconductor ETF?
SMH ETF is all you need!
06:25 A better option with no fees
07:57 Picking six leading chip stocks
MU?
08:48 Two honorable mentions
09:44 Creating our own ETF... kind of
this aged pretty well dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10:18 Looking at correlation and valuation
11:10 How much weight for each stock?
All great companies but the video (and myself) missed a changing narrative - the rise of CPUs, photonics - in the AI industry, and some of the bigger holdings in SMH, like AMD, QCOM, INTC, MRVL have run a lot in the last two months. That of course is a small time period, and it would be interesting to compare growth of SMH vs your synthetic ETF over various time frames
12:38 Conclusion
ABOUT US:
I am doing well with AMD and ARM. I do not feel a need to be totally optimized for growth or to cover all aspects. Participation in various progressive industries and staying diversified are key drivers for me. Among tech stocks, I prefer processor-related businesses versus memory-related.

What do you think of Amundi Semiconductor ETF, they have a holdings cap of 35% instead of 10% that VanEck uses?

MU !!!!!!! look at this 600% curve !!
More User Perspectives
Thanks for replying. But given where the world is heading. Personally do u think the demand for semiconductors boom? Also since building nuclear power plants is going to take decades do u think nuclear etfs like nlr are worth buying. Interested in your personal opinion
@360-jatin6Is it too late to invest into SMH etf? As it seems to be at an all time high. What would u do? Wait for the value to crash or invest at current market price?
@360-jatin6Thank you for your video on Canadian oil stocks. Big blessing!
@nonyabusiness1126I missed sandisk, but my MU position doubled
@DrewcardelloI am hesitant to take a position on Chips companies because when big companies like Google, Amazon and Alibaba are making their own chips, it seems like the market will be saturated
@sheanathan3566Very informative and useful ‘roll your own’ presentation.
Thank you
How can one buy sk hynix?
@SCMU7496Do you like ALAB?
@jekatskin3860Very informative, awesome content, helped to refine my own similar thesis, thank you!
@mistral1618Is it a stretch to fit Corning (GLW) here? While they don't necessarily fall into the semiconductor category, they dominate the fiber optics but with only 10.4% market share. They do dominate the specialized glass industry capturing 72% market share with customers like ASML and Apple.
@Sol_De_RaisHow does one readily invest in SK Hynix in the US without being riddled with fees?
@bottinglukeI love your videos- super educational with experience. Im and newbie and have a 5 year time horizon to make some dough...im putting everything in the home made etf
@stevenorthenscold6313Can you make a video on other ai companies that have a moat and monopoly ? It would be so useful to guide my portfolio
@iknowineedausernameinteresting ideas!
i'm also bullish on the semis thesis for the next years! (quantum computing would be the single semis killer, from what i've undertand from Gemini - but i think they'd still need the power of semis, even if not so expensive);
i'd add to those 6 some of the following duopolies: SNPS/CDNS, LRCX/AMAT, ADI/TXN + MU + QCOM (maybe)
@Nanalyze and your guys' extra efforts at incorporating high iq humor is great and needed, and is noticed, as per consistent comments, and is appreciated.
And it's a show of iq and skill to successfully use humor in 'drier' topics like this, and it's rarely even achieved (and hence, so much appreciated).
Thank you Mr P. and team.
Already had major semiconductor stocks in upro, just don’t have ARM, AMSL, tsmc, Tokyo electron, Samsung and SK Hynix. I Probably need VT for get these.
@spongebobubuHow about the transformer bottleneck? Recent growth of RTN, GEV, 6501.T and ENR .DE seem to be datacenter related.
@wasp586love the videos and the background locations. do you slow travel by staying in airbnb's in mountain towns? one day i would like to try that
@Walker-u9nSNDK in NAND market???
@jamesfann4297ASML going to go on sale. The Dutch will be forced to pay capital gains on unrealized gains in 2028 - they going to unload to realize the gains
@WinnieWallytLRCX (maybe short of 70% market share rule) and KLAC which is near 70% (50-60) in several critical path areas: process control, wafer inspection and metrology.
@PuertoRicanSpaceMilkHaving to pay a 0.35% etf fee because my tax sheltered account wont let me hold TSMC. First world problems
@Jimlong-x3oSMH is at a record high 48 P/E at this moment. Clearly, the money is fleeing IT software companies into hardware but how long does this continue? Do you believe we are near a sell off or does this go potentially for another couple years? SMH is holding up because many of their positions are in hardware, but even you said there tends to be big swings in the hardware sector.
@istt7114Soxq is my semiconductor play. Closer to the SOXX balanced view, letting winners win, but not excessively to market cap like SMH, but with a bit more concentration. And a lowe ER! You rock, Joe!
@lukesemail6980@Nanalyze after we subscribe, how do we then get the "looks and intelligence upgrades", in order to become a "smartest and best-looking customer"? ;-)
thank you for your guys' service and work.
The high flying US stocks could easily go down together. About a month ago I bought sk hynix on Korea exchange. So far, so good. It's a better deal than micron, and I think dollar will continue decline, helping foreign stocks.
@thekingofallblogsSomething important to keep in mind with Synopsys is that market share is much higher in reality. The EDA space where they operate is made up of dozens of product categories, but within those, dominance is much, much higher.
SNPS/CDNS are also the only companies not (very) exposed to a possible down-cycle, as they depend on semicon R&D instead of datacenter capex.
SNPS is my largest position, to be clear, so I might not be unbiased there :)
@Nanalyze thank you for your high iq and high quality website and videos.
stay safe in your travel adventures.
I like that you try and respond to every comment whether positive or negative in a civil manner. 🫡
@ZagidiYou put out excellent content.
@istt7114What about Apld?
@01Adana-c1tJoe it would be really interesting to see a video some day on the general argument for dividend investing as a strategy. Of course you've spoken at length on the various aspects of your quantigence strategy, but I see that as a nice implementation of how to do dividend investing, not why one can expect to outperform by doing so. I'm sure you're aware of the various anti-dividend arguments ("dividends drop the price", "it's not free money", The Irrelevance of Dividends, tax inefficiency, etc.). From a price perspective those arguments seem to be largely true, but that doesn't account for other things such as the effects of dividend screening on volatility, geo/sector diversification, and/or tilt towards value factors.
You're definitely one of the most level headed dividend gonks I've seen, so I'd imagine you have interesting things to say about it. A detailed look at the why of it would probably end being a pretty popular video.
If I were going to make a basket of tech stocks. I'd go with:
ASML. - 9%
BROADCOM. - 9%
AMD (OR TSC). - 9%
MU. - 9%
NVIDIA. -9&
MICROSOFT. - 10%
META. - 10%
GOOGLE. - 10&
LAM RESEARCH. - 5%
VERTIV (OR SK HYNIX). - 5%
TERADYNE. - 5%
SAMSUNG. - 5%
SANDISK. - 5%
Thanks Joe!!
@schuberthunt2Just need NVDA, ASML and TSMC. Unfortunately I bought too little. DCA doesn’t quite work with everything.
@TheBoobanArista networks
@iknowineedausernameSNDK, MU, STX, WDC, KXIAY, all storage & Memory stocks !!!
TSM, NVDA, chips
