re: MSFT, AMZN, GOOG

I asked Grok what it it had to invest $100k in the stocks on the chart on page 2.

For a $100,000 balanced portfolio using only stocks from your table, I’d spread it across 6-7 names. This gives decent diversification within the semiconductor/AI/tech sector while balancing:
• Growth (high EPS CAGR, strong trends)
• Value (lower PEG, reasonable P/E)
• Stability (bigger, more established companies less likely to swing wildly)
• Different roles in the chip ecosystem (designers, makers, equipment, memory, etc.)
All-in on one sector is still risky — semis are tied to AI, data centers, and economic cycles — but this mix reduces betting on just one winner. Here’s a simple, balanced split (roughly equal weights, adjustable for rounding):
Recommended Allocation (~$100k total)
• Nvidia (NVDA): ~$15,000 (15%) — AI leader
• Broadcom (AVGO): ~$15,000 (15%) — Networking & custom AI chips
• Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM): ~$15,000 (15%) — The foundry everyone uses
• Micron (MU): ~$15,000 (15%) — Memory chips for AI
• AMD: ~$12,000 (12%) — GPU/CPU competitor
• ASML or Lam Research (LRCX): ~$12,000 (12%) — Chip-making equipment
• Applied Materials (AMAT) or Qualcomm (QCOM): ~$16,000 (16%) — More equipment + mobile/diversification
Total: 100%. You could buy in one go or dollar-cost average (buy a bit each month) to reduce timing risk.
Why this mix? (High-school explanation)
Think of the chip world like building a smartphone or AI supercomputer:
• Nvidia & Broadcom: The star players right now. They make the powerful “brains” and connections for AI. Strong growth in your table (65% and 68% CAGR), low PEGs (0.32x and 0.35x) — good growth for the price. tickeron.com
• TSM: The factory that actually builds the chips for Nvidia, Apple, AMD, etc. More stable “picks and shovels” play with solid 36% growth and cheap valuation (23x P/E, 0.64x PEG). Less hype, more backbone. youtube.com
• Micron: Memory (RAM) specialist. AI needs tons of it. Super cheap on the table (10x P/E, 0.24x PEG) and analysts have been raising forecasts massively (+500%). Recent market strength backs this up. nerdwallet.com
• AMD: The challenger to Nvidia. High growth (77%) at a decent PEG. Adds competition exposure.
• ASML / Lam / Applied Materials: These make the machines/tools to manufacture advanced chips. More “steady” industrial plays with positive trends and lower crazy valuations than pure designers. They benefit whenever anyone builds more chips. wtop.com
This avoids super-speculative ones like Astera Labs, AAOI, Lumentum, or Sandisk (huge % swings possible) and sky-high PEGs like Arm or Intel.
Simple Rules for Balance
• Not all eggs in one basket: Mix of leaders + enablers.
• Growth + Value: Low PEG overall (many under 1x = growth cheaper than it looks).
• Risk management: Bigger companies (Nvidia, TSM, Broadcom) for stability; smaller allocations if you want more defense.
• Why not others? Oracle/Qualcomm/HPE are slower growth. High-PEG ones (Arm, Cadence) assume perfect execution.

Damn Billy, it sounds like you’ll be able to retire in a few years.

Im up 150% on Amazon.

So, Im pretty stoked. I dont check every day. Im just a leave and forget type of guy. Now I do get burned on stocks.

But Im happy with Jeff. Hope it continues to grow.
