Summary

In this insightful Market Mondays clip, hosts Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal break down their latest moves and strategies with AI chip stocks, focusing especially on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC or TSM).


Rashad kicks things off by recapping a bold call made when TSM stock pulled back—highlighting the real-time decisions that set successful traders apart. Troy shares his long-standing affinity for TSM, which dates back years, and details his own strategic options stack, entering new positions as the stock fluctuates.


What makes TSM so vital in the current tech landscape? Troy unpacks how TSMC sits at the center of the global AI ecosystem, manufacturing chips for industry leaders like Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom. With TSMC’s key earnings event and the steady increase in quarterly performance, the hosts discuss both the short-term trading opportunities and the long-term investment potential.


But it’s not just about the numbers. The conversation turns to the bigger picture: TSMC's critical role in the supply chain, the geopolitical pressures influencing its business, and the fast-tracking of new American plants in Arizona. Troy muses about how TSMC’s global presence and U.S. expansion ensure supply chain security—a lesson learned after the disruptions of 2020. They also touch on governmental moves pushing leading chipmakers like TSMC and Micron to manufacture on American soil, securing both economic and national security interests.


The clip offers an exclusive glimpse into the duo’s investment process, showing how understanding both company fundamentals and macro trends is crucial when trading volatile AI chip stocks.
