Despite the positive outlook, some experts express concerns over the current valuation, suggesting that it may be somewhat overextended, especially given the geopolitical risks associated with its operations in Taiwan.

BUY
A terrific company that knows what it's doing and the stock is cheap. His only concern is the Chinese government which could overtake Taiwan.

Price has come down a lot this year. You're not making as bold a bet on whose technology is better, so it's the safer bet.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 20/21, Down 27%) Still massive trends in the business. Best tech and best innovation, but geopolitical risk too high so he exited. Other opportunities in the space without that overhang. You'll do fine if you have patience and a long horizon. Valuation at 10-year low.

BUY
Emerged a leading semi-conductor business in the world. Supplies companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon. Recent stock selloff creating good opportunity for investors. Believes technology business will be strong in the long term. Good time to buy for investors. Political risk (China) worth accepting.
PAST TOP PICK

TOP PICK
The demand for chips should continue growing well since there are many uses including automobiles, cloud computing, EV's, internet of things, AI, etc. It has proprietary knowledge in the design of 3 to 5 manometer semiconductor chips. Has a sustainable ROE of 22%. Buy 12, Hold 2, Sell 0 (Analysts’ price target is $126.73)

Geopolitical risk not worth investment in company. Has sold shares. Finding value in other companies in the sector.
PARTIAL SELL
Semis are a cyclical business, so share prices swing a lot. TSM is seeing softness in smartphones and PC's post-pandemic. There's been a semi shortage the past year, but eventually demand will be met. TSM has strength in other segments, but the global economy remains uncertain and can weaken. Semis are not long-term holds. You can play the cycle. Can't predict what TSM will do over the next 6 months. Take your losses and invest in tech that has smoother growth.
BUY
Top investing idea. Patricia: Core holding of hers. Moving from outsourcing to design. EVs are a strong area. Only ones that produce the nanometer chips. Long-term compounder. Efficient business model.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 28/21, Down 25%) They are the biggest manufacturer of semis in a time of a major semi shortage. TSM is the cutting edge. Their new foundry in the US will open in 2024, so he expects a 20% bump in revenues and serious earnings growth for the next several years. Now, is a phenomenal time to enter this. TSM is a core holding for him. They benefit from increasing use of semis in autos
PARTIAL SELL
Sell? TSM is a leader at at time of chip shortages. She doesn't invest in semis, because it's very cyclical. Now is a pullback in technology, so the path forward is upward. You can take profits. Maybe buy a large tech stock that is less cyclical during the current tech weakness.
BUY
Given the Ukraine war and Russia-China's relationship He owns this for the long term. TSM is the leader in the semiconductor foundry side, which do the manufacturing of the chips. Hard for other companies to break in. He doesn't expect China to invade Taiwan. $151 is his price target. This has potential over 3-5 years.
