$ARM Holdings Ltd(ARM)$ ARM should do the best this earnings. People are still unaware of how good and solid ARM's business model is and how their margins are so high. They literally sit there and collect money as other chip companies utilise their chip design to build their own products. Its a cutthroat industry and if you arent innovating and coming out with new products every year then expect to lose market share. ARM just needs to ensure their customers are happy and collect the royalty fees!

Semiconductor Soiree: A Rollercoaster Ride with Upside Potential

In the theatrics of the stock market, AMD recently took centre stage with an after-hours dip that left investors checking their heart rates. Is this the opening scene of a tragedy, or just a plot twist in the semiconductor saga? Fear not, fellow investors — we're here to decode the drama and find the silver lining in the silicon cloud. AMD's Dip: A Tumble, Not a Titanic Sink So, AMD ($Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$) stumbled a bit in the first-quarter guidance dance. But let's not forget, even superheroes have their kryptonite. Macro headwinds, like the wind messing up Superman's hair, played a part. PC demand doing the cha-cha and supply chain constraints tap dancing didn't help either. But hold your horses!

My Watchlist [46]: INTC (dtd 2/2/24)

Hi everyone! Here’s my long-awaited post on one of the eminent semiconductor companies: Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) Here’s a quick look at the daily chart. Note that the stock was trading in a rising wedge pattern (appearing to be bearish), but ultimately broke out of it, and has backtested the breakout at least once. I believe this is the second time we are backtesting the breakout. I note significant volume on the weekly candle on the first backtest, and potentially similar volume on this potential second backtest. What could possibly affect the weekly closing candle would be the news yesterday that INTC delayed its $20bn Ohio project from 2025 to late-2026. This caused a sell-off after hours yesterday. However, my expectation is that the weakness will be bought up over the session. The daily c
