Market makers seem to be using-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Market makers seem to be using the uncertainty around the FOMC rate decision and war news to shake out weak hands, liquidating both longs and shorts. They have quarterly targets to meet, so the window for this kind of manipulation is limited. The best approach is probably just to ignore it and not play their game. If they overdo it, they would end up wrecking the whole market and putting their own jobs at risk.

Avoiding leverage and margin makes it pretty hard for them to cause any real damage.

As a long-term investor, my plan is to just DCA the dips and hold.

On the stocks I'm watching:

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ could easily be a trillion-dollar company by year end.

$Intel(INTC)$ seems like something Trump will keep talking up, so I don't see it backing down, and it could become the next heart of AI.

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ is already the heart of AI and should keep climbing.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is still the big boss in AI.

$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ I've been more interested in lately after upgrading all my SATA drives to SSDs. The load times are great, and no more noise issues.
