Hi there. BIL ETF is recommended for short-term USD parking. As for how to scalp for more returns, I detailed the strategy in the previous posts.

In the future, I won't be sharing any more strategies... You guys just want to free-ride everything... 

Now I know why top quant hedge funds jealously guard their "strategies"... I am gonna guard mine as well... proprietary secrets not to be revealed...

FuRao Arbitrage No. 3 mainly uses a strategy that exploits differences in implied volatility among options with different strike prices or expiration dates. Power Asset uses machine learning models to adjust its entry and exit points, according to PaiPaiWang.

The fund fell in each of the past four weeks, with combined losses of more than 16%, according to performance data seen by Bloomberg News. During the period, the CSI 300 Index jumped as much as 33% before retreating by up to 11% from the Oct. 8 peak.

These rumors are false. Samsung does not have a competitive 3nm/2nm process nor does it have the proper ecosystem. Intel 18A has a much better chance for the NOT TSMC business than Samsung. That is what I am hearing inside the ecosystem.

Samsung Foundry has burned many bridges with the leading edge customers which includes Qualcomm and Nvidia. Now that they are flying first class with TSMC I do not see them going back to Samsung. A good example is AMD. AMD used GlobalFoundries 14nm which was sourced from Samsung and from what I understand Samsung handled overflow business for AMD. Yet AMD has not engaged with Samsung since moving to TSMC in 2018. It really is all about trust to deliver the wafer on time and at respectable yields. Both of which Samsung has failed at with 5/4nm, and 3/2nm. I also know that the relationship between GF and Samsung for the 14nm process was not shall we say smooth which negatively affected AMD.

As it stands today I know of ZERO customers outside of Korea using Samsung 3/2nm. If I am wrong let me know because I do keep track of design starts. Keeping track of 3nm design starts turned out to be pretty easy since they were all at TSMC.

Now it seems Samsung lost to Intel also...

The Taiwan giant TSMC is reportedly considering raising prices for its in-demand 3nm and CoWoS processes in an attempt to cope with the gigantic demand.

TSMC Plans To Implement 3nm & CoWoS Price Increase Given The Tremendous Demand From The AI Markets

In the modern-day AI markets, TSMC is playing a pivotal role when it comes to providing the essentials in the realm of semiconductors, and the company's cutting-edge nodes are in significant demand from the markets. Companies like NVIDIA and AMD have their mainstream AI solutions utilizing TSMC's 3nm process, along with its CoWoS derivatives, so for the Taiwan giant, keeping up with the demand has been quite tricky, which is why a report from Ctee has disclosed that TSMC plans to bump up pricing of 3nm and CoWoS, citing that this move will maintain supply chain balance.

The report says that TSMC plans to implement the price hike in 2025 and has already received approval from NVIDIA, so ultimately, the price change will affect the whole supply chain. It is said that TSMC 3nm pricing is expected to receive a bump of up to 5%, while CoWoS packaging could rise by 10% to 20%, depending upon how the Taiwan giant expands production capacity for its advanced packaging processes.

TSMC has a strong future moving ahead, given that not only has the company "monopolized" the semiconductor markets, but with gigantic demand from the AI segment, TSMC has its production lines booked in the next year as well. The supply chain bottleneck is forcing the company to upscale existing facilities, so a price bump makes sense here.

Morgan Stanley says that TSMC's gross margins are expected to soar moving into 2025, ultimately translating into solid earnings for the company. In a recent coverage, we reported on how TSMC's 3nm and 5nm nodes are responsible for more than 52% of the company's revenue in Q3 2024, which shows the significance of these processes for the Taiwan giant. Apart from this, it is said that TSMC's next-gen 2nm will be much more disruptive in terms of market demand, so the future of TSMC and the semiconductor markets is indeed bright.

When the thrill of buying something expensive is fundamental to the pitch to customers, the price itself becomes part of the product.
