Big, Big, Big Tech Story Today? ASML And TSM -- Part Two -- June 5, 2024

This will be a follow-up to an earlier post: https://themilliondollarway.blogspot.com/2024/06/big-big-big-tech-story-today-asml-and.html

Maybe I will go back and add a "Part One" to the subject heading of that blog, and call this "Part Two." 

After a most remarkable day, I was doing a lot of surfing to try to explain (to myself) what happened today with regard to the market. I spent a lot of time reading comments to the articles. I was negatively surprised by the number of folks (some/many/most) who seemed not to understand anything about "chips." That's why I posted so much about "chips."  It made all the difference in the world for me.

I was most amazed by those who said that the "run-up" by Nvidia "made no sense since chips were simply a commodity that China would someday exploit."

Wow.

Chips are not a commodity. Period. Dot. I've discussed it at length elsewhere.

So, I was thinking about that.

And then this popped up in my twitter feed (this is the Dutch ASML chipmaking machine):

Writing that Nvidia chips are commodities, is like saying the space rockets like the one launched today built by SpaceX and Boeing are commodities.

But back to that ASML chip making machine -- weighs as much as two Airbus airplanes:

Cramer

I was listening to Cramer tonight. He talked about Nvidia. He says he was alerted to this company by another investor more than a decade ago. 

Look at this:


Someday it will be interesting to read Huang Jensen's biography during this period.
