BelleWeather : AI stocks are in a pullback now. This presents a buying opportunity for several tickers for longterm holds. Of particular interest to me are $台积电 (TSM.US)$  and $英伟达 (NVDA.US)$   I think both are solid choices for a buy and hold base. It’s interesting to me that the drop is happening now. It’s certainly due to the factors discussed. But also, the semiconductor industry has traditionally been cyclical, and this is the time that supply gluts cause pullback. This has been averted because of AI, but the weakness in the other areas is, in fact, apparent now. AI isn’t going away, though. The longterm acceleration of the sector makes these prices attractive now.
I like trading options. I’m currently focusing on buying and writing contracts for the week of May 31, after Nvidia reports. I expect their ER to be positive, and that calls on Nvidia itself and SPY will be lucrative. So I am looking at SPY, and using short term contracts, both puts and calls.This is of course a gamble, and I could easily be incorrect, so strict capital allocation and risk management are key. I also am buying contracts for the fall, up until the election and LEAPS beyond that. SPY trends up in the longterm. And the market doesn’t like uncertainty, so I hope to profit from increased volatility leading up to the election.

mr_cashcow : Well the market is fearful because of the situation with Iran & Isreal so I guess a good place would be Gold related etfs or Oil related stocks
