Bottom Fishing of Global Giant Stocks with Black Swans

Posted on March 24, 2026 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Over the past 1 year with various unexpected actions by US President Trump, global stock markets become more volatile, shaky after achieving new historical high. Each of such event may become a potential black swan, eg. Iran oil crisis, global tariff crisis, US-China trade war, control of the Fed, drastic change in interest rate vs inflation, etc.

“Crisis is an Opportunity” has been a golden rule by Warren Buffett to Buy Low Sell High in stock market. It seems easy but to practice it successfully, requiring full integration with own unique personality, especially on risk tolerance level.

There are generally 3 levels of stock market crisis, ranging from minor bear (<20% correction, suitable for short-term traders, eg. global tariff crisis in Apr 2025), normal bear (20-50% correction for mid-term investors, eg. COVID crisis 2020) and major bear (>50% market meltdown, ideal for long term investors, eg. dotcom bubble in 2000 and subprime crisis in 2008).

A smart investor / trader would carefully select the right scale of stock crisis to Buy Low Sell High within timeframe of confidence. For traders, to minimize the risk of buy low get lower beyond own limit, trend-following strategy may be integrated for entry/exit with position sizing. For investors, even with contrarian strategy to buy low during bearish market, a diversified portfolio of over 10 dividend giant stocks could help during the winter time.

It is timely now to review own stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of majority. Take advantage of the next potential black swan to Buy Low Sell High with crisis investing strategies.

Stock Strategies to Ride Global Bull Markets with AI Wave and Interest Rate Cut

Posted on October 29, 2025 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

With Trump back in the White House, global markets have entered a new era of optimism and opportunity. His administration, backed by strong control of the Senate, Congress, and support from the Fed, is expected to roll out a series of pro-business reforms, including corporate tax cuts and deregulation. These measures, along with efforts to ease geopolitical tensions in regions like the Middle East and Eastern Europe, are fueling confidence and driving capital flows back into equities.

In recent months, the US market has climbed to new highs, led by strong earnings and AI-related growth. Singapore’s STI has hit record levels above 4,400, driven by robust performance from major banks and a recovering REIT sector. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and China, having rebounded from low optimism levels previously highlighted by Dr Tee, continue to show strong recovery potential.

At the same time, the Fed’s ongoing rate cuts are injecting fresh liquidity into the system. With investors rotating out of deposits and into global markets, 2026 could mark the start of a powerful new bull cycle. But as optimism builds, a wise investor knows that markets move in cycles: the key is to buy low when others hesitate and sell high before the crowd.

In fact, both traders and investor are easier to make profits during bullish stock markets, riding the trends (eg. greed for AI wave, interest rate cut, settlement of global tariff, etc). Trend-following growth investing and momentum trading leverage on greeds to Buy High (or near fair price) Sell Higher. However, when bubbles are too big at very high Optimism level (eg. dotcom bubble in 2000, potential AI bubble currently), it may burst eventually. At the same time, due to market inefficiency and sector rotation, there are opportunities currently to Buy Low for strong fundamental stocks (eg. Singapore REITs suffering high interest rates in the past, start to recover strongly). Key of success is to take the right action on time with a strategy which one could manage with own personality.

Now is the time to review your stock portfolio and make informed decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of the majority. Ride the next global stock rally with Trump’s policies and the Fed’s rate cuts, supported by a strengthening global economy with rising AI wave.

Stock Crisis and Opportunity with Global Tariff War (US vs China)

Posted on April 11, 2025 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

With recent Global Tariff Crisis, global investors so far have digested the worst case scenario of no trade between US and China (main target for Trump) with global stocks falling by about average of 20-25% (still less than 30% correction during 2020 COVID crisis and 2022 US tech stock crisis). At the same time, even US bond market which traditionally is the safe haven, becomes unstable with massive sell, Trump is under pressure to pause the tariff (except for China with 145% tariff) by 90 days to cool down the investment markets (stocks, bonds, forex, property), motivating global stock markets to recover strongly.

However, duration of uncertainty in global tariff (may affect global economy negatively) would determine the degree of stock crisis, from mid term bear (down >20-30%) to long term bear (down >50% for global financial crisis) to the worst bear (down >80%, eg. 1929 Great Depression, 1989 Japan lost 3 decades, 2000 dotcom bubble). It is not wrong to be long term or lifetime investors with condition one is prepared mentally (aligned with own personality) for different degrees of bear while holding a portfolio >10-20 giant stocks (ideally generating steady dividend with yield better than bank >2.5% yearly).

2 main potential opportunities for global stock markets with global tariff crisis are:
1) Short Term / Mid Term Cyclic trading of US stocks (Buy Low Sell High)
Trump starts Ver 2.0 of political mind games, starting with global tariffs. Global investors dislike uncertainties, both Fed and Trump + global leaders would need to strike a balance of power to support economic growth. Negative impact on higher US inflation (due to higher tariff) will be clearer over the next few months, if US economy is weaker at the same time, the Fed may be in dilemma to adjust, especially if it may become stagflation (stagnant economy + high inflation).

S&P 500 has been falling down from high Optimism >75%, a critical signal for both traders and even investors. There is no need to catch the falling knife of bearish stock prices but smart investors would know the re-entry point to leverage on the stock crisis for discounted share price.

Investors may apply trend-following trading, focusing on giant US stocks with reversal of recent corrections while monitoring the economic signals.

2) Mid Term / Long Term Cyclic investing of Asian stocks (Buy Low Sell High)
Hong Kong & China have been recovering gradually after massive China stimulus package but economic growth needs more effort and time, stock markets falling together with global stocks. China/Hong Kong may have sovereign funds to support stock index (eg. A50 and HSI). HSI Index is corrected back to low Optimism <25%, average down strategy may be considered for contrarian. China SSEC is mild bearish but could be speculative due to possible political intervention (China may need to plan for more QE to resist 145% tariff of US).

Not all the countries or stocks are affected in negative way by high US tariff. China and many countries (who are more dependent on US) may need to find new markets to partially replace US, therefore need to sell at reduced rates (this would trigger price war, good for consumers but bad for business).

Singapore becomes bearish (STI near 3500 points, dropping 15% from peak of 4000 points, worrying 3 major banks would have lower interest income due to interest rate cut). Malaysia Bursa is also bearish (KLCI is shaky, just above 1400 points support, affected by outflow of foreign funds).

Investors may consider cyclic investing strategy, monitoring undervalue asian giant stocks with steady dividends as defenders, converting stock crisis into a rare opportunity with Buy Low Sell High.

It is timely now to review own stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of majority. Ride the next global stock rally after global tariff crisis.

Global Stock Market Rally with US President Trump and Interest Rate Cut

Posted on November 8, 2024 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Trump is back as new US president with the strongest political power (support of Senate + Congress + Fed), therefore able to enforce economic policies such as low tax rate (pro-business) and potentially end regional wars (Russia/Ukraine, Middle East) which are the sources of high inflation rates.

Global investors dislike uncertainties, therefore a clear win by Trump has helped US stock market achieved new high again. Even Singapore STI has reached last 17 years high (>3700 points) with strong performance of 3 major banks. Meanwhile, the Fed continues to cut interest rates (another 0.25% lower in Nov 2024) to stimulate the economy, money may flow from US to global markets for higher return.

At the same time, there is mixed impact on Asia stock markets, especially there is potential higher level of US-China trade war, therefore careful selection of stocks and sectors are critical. China recently has announced massive economic stimulus plans, the scale could be even higher to cope with emerging political economic crisis.

In Year 2025, global stock markets (US, Asia, Europe) may experience new waves of bullish run, especially with various new pro-business regulations by Trump and lower interest rates by the Fed. However, when global stock market reaches a high optimism level, a potential black swan may not be far away. Therefore, a smart investor (eg. Warren Buffett) would Sell High gradually, before Buy Low again during the next global financial crisis.

It is timely now to review own stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of majority. Ride the next global stock rally with Trump and US interest rate cut, supported by strong global economy.

Next Global Stock Market Rally with US Interest Rate Cut (一波三折)

Posted on September 19, 2024 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Are you excited by recent 0.5% interest cut by US Fed which may be a hidden market stimulation? US stocks (especially Dow Jones and S&P500) are near historical high, even Singapore STI is at last 6 years high >3600 points (having potential to break 2007 historical high if >3900 points, especially with stronger growth and recovery of STI which many are dividend stocks, not limited to SG REITs).

Current global stock markets are the most confusing to both long term investors and short term traders because past few decades of investment market relationship (eg. stocks vs bonds) are very different from past few years of market condition since 2020 pandemic.

A key difference is we have experienced hyper-inflation (9+%) which only happened 50 years ago in 1970s and 1980s. Over the past few decades, usually US interest rate is adjusted higher during bullish economy and stock market, cut to stimulate economy during recession. However, current market condition is closer to 1980s with hyper-inflation, US interest rate is adjusted higher to tame the hyper-inflation over 10+%. With lower inflation, then US interest rate is cut, indirectly stimulate US and global stock markets to higher level, with condition that there is no recession (eg. negative GDP growth rate).

There are 3 key supporting signals for US and global stock markets to continue the bull run (一波三折):
1) US inflation starts to fall from the peak of 9+%
2) Golden Cross for US inflation falls just below interest rate of 5+%
3) US interest rate starts to cut from the peak of 5+%

Key signals #1 and #2 (see image above) were highlighted by Dr Tee in earlier posts over the past 2 years, global stock markets, especially US stocks have shown significant appreciation since then. For readers who missed the boats, it is never too late as Key signal #3 just comes, the Fed has just start to cut interest rate by 0.5% from the peak of 5.5% in Sep 2024. In fact, early investors may follow Signal #2.5, meaning taking action >6 months ago, anticipating US will cut interest rate, especially after Signal #2 with strong confirmation of consistently lower inflation below the interest rate peak of 5+%.

A strong condition for Signal #3 is that US economy should experience soft landing, instead of hard landing as the past few decades, else interest rate cut may become a risky signal to save falling economy. Despite weaker US job market, historically it is still considered above average (below 5% unemployment rate) while inflation currently is at average (2.5%) of past few decades, there is no need to achieve ultimate goal of 2% as inflation would fluctuate (eg. between 1+% to 3+%) in a normal market.

Sectors which may benefit from US interest rate cut with growing economy (recovering stronger after soft landing) are across the board, eg. REITs, property stocks and dividend stocks (lower borrowing cost, implying more dividends expected with higher profits), technology stocks (lower borrowing cost for business expansion), industrial and most stocks (stronger business with more spending by consumers with bullish economy). Banks could have mixed effect, depending on natural of segment business, eg. interest income may fall due to lower NIM (Net Interest Margin) with lower interest rate, but volume of interest income may increase with more loans due to stronger economy, together with increasing non-interest income.

Therefore, key is to monitor the economic cycle and also stock market Optimism level (Be Greedy when others are Fearful; Be Fearful when others are Greedy). One day, a black swan may come, it is never too late to exit then or much earlier when global stock market is at high Optimism with shaky economy. It is timely now to review own stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of majority. Ride the next global stock rally with US interest rate cut, supported by strong global economy.

It is timely now to review own global stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting), leveraging on market greed and fear.

Bottom Fishing of Hong Kong and China Stock Markets (否极泰来)

Posted on May 20, 2024 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Over the past few years, both Hong Kong and China stock markets have been bearish, under low Optimism level, many giant stocks (property, technology and nearly all sectors) are heavily discounted with over 50-70% price corrections.

However, it is not easy to “Buy Low” as the stock may get lower, an investor may end up selling lower with loss. Even Charlie Munger (business partner of Warren Buffett), has been trying to buy low several times for Alibaba when share prices falling down from $200+ to below $100, ending up stop loss when it exceeds risk tolerance level.

The key is timing of entry for low optimism giant stocks, including Hong Kong Hang Seng Index (HSI ETF) and China Shanghai Index (A50 ETF), aligning to own unique personality. Contrarian investing (buying during bearish trend) requires careful selection of stocks (eg. defensive dividend stocks), strong mind control and money management (eg. averaging down with position sizing and diversification over a portfolio of 10-20 giant stocks).

Trend-following investing could be more suitable for retail investors, aiming for giant stocks with prices far below value (need to compute fair price), then waiting patiently for reversal signals from bear to bull again. Both Hong Kong and China have created double bottom pattern opportunities, first recovery was late 2022 when zero COVID policy has ended but then corrected again with economy slowdown to another low (eg. 15000 points for Hong Kong HSI), second recovery only happens recently after economic stimulus plans (eg. loosening of property market, lower mortgage rate, etc). HSI recovers again from 15000 points valley to above 17000 short term resistance (late Apr 2024), currently near to 20000 points.

For investors who miss the Hong Kong HSI 30% rally from 15000 to nearly 20000 points, may feel “missing the boat”, thinking it is too “high” now to buy. In fact, this is the mentality of “penny wise but pound foolish”, i.e. only considering the near term (tree) but missing the mid to long term (forest). Even for a short term trader, it is fine to Buy intermediate “High” Sell Higher following trend, while the “High” for a trader is actually still “Low” (despite not the lowest) for longer term investor. These perception differences are personality dependent, alignment of strategy with unique personality (eg. short / mid / long terms, cyclic / growth / dividend, contrarian / follow-trend, etc) is key for success in stock trading or investing.

Current global stock markets provide special advantages to both short term traders (eg. bullish US market with new historical high for S&P500 and Dow Jones to Buy High Sell Higher with Momentum Trading, aiming for US interest rate cut in year 2024) and long term investors (eg. bearish or lagging Asian market (Hong Kong / China / Singapore / Malaysia) to Buy Low Sell High with Cyclic Investing, supported by recent economic stimulus plans in China.

Hidden Stock Opportunities in New Year of Dragon 2024 for Both Short Term Traders and Long Term Investors (卧虎藏龙)

Posted on February 1, 2024 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

As highlighted over 1 year ago, US inflation falling from the peak below the interest rate (5+%) was a golden cross for US stock market. Indeed, US stocks become very bullish, S&P500 achieving new high >5000 points recently, ideal for short term traders. At the same time, due to economy slowdown, both China and Hong Kong stock markets are in crisis, providing a rare opportunity for long term investors.

In the New Year of Dragon 2024, US inflation continues to decline (currently around 3+%) while market expecting the Fed would start to cut interest rates. Lower interest rate with strong economy would help to push up the bullish US stock market further as funds may move from bank deposits to stock market for quicker return. However, US stock market is more suitable for short term trading to Buy High Sell Higher (momentum trading / swing trading) until it reaches high Optimism level with a black swan one day. Technology giant stocks (not limited to AI) may gain more momentum with lower borrowing cost, aiming for Ver 2.0 technology bubble (Ver 1.0 was Year 2000 dotcom bubble). Bubble is friend for traders with condition that one has to know when to exit, not to hold as a long term investor when market may crash one day with >50% potential drawdown.

Usually global stock markets are aligned at country level to go up and down together, eg Japan, India, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc, are following US to higher Optimism level. However, due to political economy difference in each country, Asian stock market performs relatively weaker, especially for China and Hong Kong, suffering economy slowdown with weak investment markets (stock, bond, property, etc). This creates a golden opportunity for long term investor to Buy Low Sell High with condition that the stock portfolio is diversified over 10-20 giant stocks with strong businesses to survive and recover from stock crisis. Even for China / Hong Kong stocks at very attractive prices, entry requires consideration of 3 unique C.E.T. personalities:

1) C = Contrarian Investors (allows buying low with bearish prices),
2) E = Early Investors (entering with potential light at the end of tunnel, eg. market awaits massive stimulus plan from China),
3) T = Trend Investors (wait for stronger confirmation for bear transits into early bull).

At the same time, other stock exchanges (eg. Singapore and Malaysia, etc) are at moderate Optimism levels, stagnant with mixed performance. Careful selection of giant stocks would be a better choice than investing indices / ETF.

So, your stock performance in New Year 2024 may be like a “Dragon” or “Snake”, depending on your choice (eg. US stocks for short term trading, Asian stocks for long term investing) with alignment to your unique personality (short term, mid term, long term) and style of investing (growth, cyclic, dividend, undervalue, momentum, swing, etc).

It is timely now to review own stock portfolio, making decisions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting) ahead of majority.

Trading Strategies for 4 Stages of Technology Stock Bubbles (趁势追击)

Posted on August 16, 2023 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Many investors and traders like US technology stocks which could move up and down like a roller coaster with high potential gains in a shorter time. Similar to driving a car, despite there are many potential risks, a trained driver or stock trader could adopt best practices with experience for a smooth ride.

In general, there are 4 stages of technology stocks bubbles (see image above):
Stage 1
The first peak when technology stocks achieve high Ein55 Optimism > 75%, eg. during Year 2000 dotcom bubble and Year 2021 COVID online bubble.

Technology sector may not go through the entire 4 stages of bubbles. For example, for Year 2000 dotcom bubble, stock market crashed after Stage 1. For Stage 1, similar to surfing with a strong wave, trend-following position trading strategy with S.E.T. (Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) plan is key, buying with uptrend (eg. higher low higher high, breaking above critical resistance), sell / short selling with downtrend (eg. lower high lower low, breaking below critical support).

Stage 2
If it is a correction (eg. high inflation and interest rate hike in Year 2022), technology stocks would start to recover, eg Year 2023 has been recovering well with AI as the main driver.

Stage 2 has weaker trend than Stage 1, focusing more on recovery wave, usually stock prices need to break above certain patterns (eg. resistance of a double bottom neckline, etc) to sustain its recovery. Short term to mid term cyclic trading may be considered. If Stage 2 could not exceed the last high of Stage 1, then it may form a risky pattern (eg. Head & Shoulders, etc), therefore it is safer to trader than to invest in technology stocks with higher optimism level.

Stage 3
It is possible (although seldom) for technology stocks to achieve another new high than the peak of Stage 1 bubble. If inflation could fall down consistently below 3% while global economy is intact, US technology stocks may continue to recover. However, it may take time, especially No 2 economy, China is getting weaker, would affect global / US economy indirectly. Inflation may be stagnant around 3% +/- 1% for mid term until an economic crisis, only then it may fall down further.

Strategy for Stage 3 is focusing on shorter term trading with positioning sizing, leveraging on market momentum to trade uptrend.

Stage 4
This is the ultimate bubble (may or may not come), much higher peak than Stage 1 with high Ein55 Optimism >75%, mainly driven by stock market greed. The strategy is similar to Stage 1 but closer monitoring (daily) is required.

Besides uptrend trading, an experienced trader may also consider to short sell the market when it is falling down below critical support from high optimism level, potentially gaining from the crash of stock market which may be induced by the next black swan.

===================================

Technology giant stocks are mostly major component stocks of indices, therefore the movement of NASDAQ index (mostly technology stocks, popular ETF is QQQ, 3X of Nasdaq) is also aligned with S&P500 index (500 largest US stocks, popular ETF is SPY). When market is bearish, there are also inverse ETFs for traders who don’t know how to short sell but more suitable for shorter term trading.

In additional to indices, a trader may also consider technology giant stocks, eg. leader (world largest company) is Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), already passing Stages 1 & 2, approaching Stage 3 (but fail to create new resistance above $200).

The current bull run for technology stocks is still intact. However, during each correction, a trader may need to exit first, reenter when trend is reversed to uptrend or when a new high is created.

At the same time, for longer term investors who have invested in technology giant stocks or indices (eg. S&P500 or Nasdaq), may also consider to switch to short term investing (choosing stocks like an investor, buy/sell like a trader) during uncertain high optimism level, no need to take any major risk against potential black swans (eg. China economy slowdown, escalation of Russian-Ukraine war, etc) which stock market may fall more than 50% when the bubble is burst.

In summary, a smart investor or trader would leverage on technology stock bubbles (Stages 1-4) but adjusting the strategy accordingly (eg. shorter term trading with higher optimism level). Stock bubble could be the best friend for trader (trend-following trading with greed) and investor (crisis investing after the market crash with fear).

===================================

There are over 2000 giant stocks in the world based on Dr Tee criteria, choice of 10 Dream Team giant stocks have to align with one’s unique personality, eg. for shorter term trading (eg. momentum or swing trading) or longer term investing (cyclic investing, undervalue investing or growth investing). Readers should not just “copy and paste” any stock (What to Buy, When to Buy/Sell) as successful action taking requires deeper consideration (LOFTP strategies – Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal Analysis) which you could learn further from Dr Tee Free 4-hr Webinar.

8 AI Technology Stocks for Momentum Trading and Growth Investing (以智取胜)

Posted on July 14, 2023 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

After major correction of technology stocks in Year 2022, the technology sector recovers strongly in 2023 with the support of Artificial Intelligence (AI), initiated by popularity of ChatGPT, following by the healthy competitions and future AI plans of many technology giant stocks, pushing up the stock prices of technology stocks and even entire US stock indices (S&P500 and Nasdaq), nearer to the last peak in late 2021.

As mentioned in earlier Dr Tee articles, Golden Cross of inflation (now 3%) below interest rate (now 5%) help to support recovery of technology stocks which are sensitive to interest rate (likely will reach its peak soon). Since stock market is usually 6-12 months ahead of economy and businesses, a smart investor may take calculated risk with early actions (eg. big winner for those who took actions 6 months ago on technology stocks when inflation starts to fall from its peak).

Investing and trading in stocks may also apply AI (eg. following certain rules) but key difference is to personalize the strategies, eg holding for short term (momentum trading), mid term (cyclic trading) or long term (growth investing).

Dr Tee has shortlisted 8 AI stocks with potential for trading and investing, each stock requires unique positioning due to different types of LOFTP (Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal Analysis):

1) Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA)
Nvidia is a bigger winner in AI game as development generative AI requires strong demand of GPU chips, which is dominated by Nvidia. It projects significant increase in near future revenue which supports the share price to break above last high of $335 in Year 2021, exceeding by 50% to $460 so far.

Even before recent AI stock rally, Nvidia already has sustainable strong business fundamental. However, due to stock price is far above fair value with high Ein55 Optimism, it is more suitable for short term momentum trading, following the uptrend prices (eg. entering when breaking a new high, but it is crucial to set stoploss when price trend is reversed more than risk tolerance level).

2) Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)
Microsoft is another direct AI winner because it is major investor for ChatGPT, even incorporating into BING search engine (challenging Google Search) and Windows 11 platform with Microsoft Office products. As a result, Microsoft share price has recovered back to its 2021 peak of $344, may achieve another new historical high if AI momentum continues.

Microsoft is veteran technology giant stock with over 50 years history since 1970s (comparable with Apple), products are diversified beyond traditional PC into cloud and gaming, etc. Strong business fundamental but it has price exceeding fair value with high Ein55 Optimism, more suitable for mid term cyclic investing (Buy Low Sell High) or short term momentum trading (Buy High Sell Higher).

3) Alphabet / Google (Nasdaq: GOOGL/GOOG)
Alphabet has been early AI developer (eg. DeepMind with AlphaGo could win human No 1 Go player in the world) but slow in commercializing the AI products, still focusing more on Google search engine which 85% market share (compared with BING only has 8%) for advertisement revenue (Youtube contributes to about 10% of Alphabet revenue). ChatGPT quick success has helped Google to introduce comparable BARD chat quickly to supplement Google search. It is not too late for BARD to catch up because they have strong foundation in development with wide Google network as potential customers, just need to focus on marketing and commercialization in future, helping to retain or grow the online advertisement revenue.

Relative to other technology / AI giant stocks, Alphabet / Google is relatively slow in stock price recovery (still below its peak of $150 in Year 2021), current price of $124 is near to its fair value, therefore still possible to be considered for long term investor for growth investing (Buy fair price and Hold). At the same time, Alphabet / Google may also be suitable for mid term cyclic investing (Buy Low Sell High) or short term momentum trading (Buy High Sell Higher). It is a rare giant stock which may be considered for both long term investors and short/mid term traders. However, since few technology giant stocks could last for decades, it is crucial to monitor its technology advantages over competitors (eg. ChatGPT vs BARD, Google vs BING, etc) for long term investors.

4) Meta / Facebook (Nasdaq: META)
Meta share price was seriously corrected in Year 2022 from about $380 to $90, partly due to venture into unprofitable Metaverse and headwind of technology sector then. Meta is early winner for technology stock recovery in 2023 (another is Netflix), growing with very strong momentum (comparable with Nvidia and Microsoft performances), current price of $313 is still below its 2021 peak of $380.

Even without AI (new plan) or Metaverse (old plan), advertisement revenue for existing Facebook and Instagram could already support and grow the business. The new Threads app is a strong challenger to Twitter, could be future revenue generator, making its social media network even wider (a strong economic moat). Meta share price is still below its fair value of about $360, may be considered for long term growth investor and also short term momentum trader.

5) Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN)
Amazon share price was halved in Year 2022 from about $187 to $85, partly due to high growth during pandemic is not sustainable during post pandemic, business also becomes cyclic, affecting share price stability. Amazon has cloud businesses, AI concept has helped to recover its share prices together with other technology giant stocks, current price of $134 is still below its 2021 peak of $187.

Amazon is a trillion-dollar market cap giant stock (after Apple and Microsoft, ahead of Google and Nvidia), business becomes more sustainable as pre-pandemic. Current share is still below fair value of about $200, therefore may be considered for long term growth investing, mid term cyclic trading or even short term momentum trading.

6) AMD (Nasdaq: AMD)
AMD share price dropped to 1/3 from about $155 to $55 in Year 2022 technology sector crisis, partly due to high growth of chips demand during pandemic is not sustainable during post pandemic, business even suffered losses in the last quarter. Over the last few decades of competition, AMD is stronger and larger than Intel, supporting AMD share price growing by 80 times over the past 10 years. Despite AMD AI chip is still behind leader Nvidia, its latest chips are widely used by cloud platforms (eg. Amazon). AMD price has recovered strongly, current price of $115 is still below its 2021 peak of $155.

AMD is a young technology giant stock which would benefit from future AI sector expansion. Current share is still below fair value of about $200, therefore may be considered for long term growth investing, mid term cyclic trading or even short term momentum trading.

7) TSMC (NYSE: TSM / Taiwan TPE: 2330)
TSMC share price was corrected by more than half from about $140 to $63 in Year 2022 technology sector crisis, partly due to high growth of chips demand during pandemic is not sustainable during post pandemic, but business remains profitable with more sustainable growth rate. TSMC is the world leader for high end chip manufacturing (eg. 3nm), far ahead of competitors Samsung and Intel. With help of Warren Buffett (despite he sold it eventually due to worry of geo-political crisis) and technology sector rally, TSMC price has recovered strongly, current price of $105 is still below its 2022 peak of $140.

Semiconductor sector is cyclic in nature, similar for TSMC share price, more suitable to Buy Low Sell High for cyclic investor. Current share price is higher than fair price of about $80, therefore more suitable for mid term cyclic investing (not long term due to higher Ein55 Optimism) or even short term trading (since momentum is relatively weaker, may consider to Buy Low Sell High with short term swing trading).

8) ASML (Nasdaq: ASML)
Semiconductor sector is very specialized and inter-dependent, eg. design by Nvidia, manufacturing by TSMC but leading equipment supplier is ASML, etc. ASML business and even share price performances are comparable to TSMC since both are closely related.

ASML share price was corrected by more than half from about $868 to $379 in Year 2022 technology sector crisis, partly due to high growth of chips demand during pandemic is not sustainable during post pandemic, but business remains profitable with more sustainable growth rate. ASML is the world leader for high end chip equipment (eg. lithography for 3nm), far ahead of other competitors. US/China trade war may affect its future business expansion in China due to new export ban for high tech semiconductor equipment. Together with technology sector rally, ASML price has doubled from valley, current price of $750 is getting nearer to its 2022 peak of $868.

Semiconductor sector is cyclic in nature, similar for ASML share price, more suitable to Buy Low Sell High for cyclic investor. Current share price is higher than fair price of about $470, therefore more suitable for mid term cyclic investing (not long term due to higher Ein55 Optimism) or even short term trading (since momentum is relatively weaker, may consider to Buy Low Sell High with short term swing trading).
