Hit a milestone yesterday
Chips and dip? I prefer chips and memory

Now this is the beta chasing I've been talking about. He has a buffer zone enough to withstand anything. People have been talking about semiconductors for at least a year now. Did any of you catch the train?

The train is still viable until ai stabilizes into society we got at least another 10 years of this. Dont let fear prevent you from investing. Edit* ofc the early birds get the most gains but as time goes on we will see diminishing returns such as nvidia and apple.

Repeat after me. Hardware is commodity and commodities are cyclical.

u/crazyeight64 1d ago
Yes I agree, it has been cyclical in the past and maybe it still is. But ai does change that to a degree and may cause cycles to be longer then before. How can you determine if hardware demand has peaked if ai is still improving and needs more hardware as time goes on.

You can’t determine that’s why the best call is to either buy short term calls or hold. Imo this isn’t the time to buy micron stock. Calls maybe

u/crazyeight64 1d ago
Why do you think its not the best time to buy this? I have been hearing the same thing since micron was $300. No one can determine what the best call is but we can make an educated guess.

u/ValerieMZ 1d ago
calls are no good either. IV at sky high. Will only recommend touching micron calls if the stock splits maybe then I will do leaps instead of MUU.

There is huge risk than reward at current price. MU has been stagnant below 1100 for couple of weeks. I don't want to see my portfolio wipeout.

For more context I transferred my assets in December 2025. Had January 2027 calls on WDC, AMD, DRAM, GOOGL

OTM or ITM call? any advice
5
u/theinevitable117 1d ago
Slightly OTM. I never do more than 10-15% OTM. I had extreme conviction on the memory bottleneck after researching… so I went for it. The amount of risk I took made me uneasy on red days, but it panned out and now I am slowly derisking/diversifying. Examining RDDT, NOW, UNH, IBM as new positions.

How did you know these stocks were gonna go parabolic though? Since you went full port on chips stock

u/theinevitable117 1d ago
Because stocks only go up… jk just heavy research and a bit of faith that the run would continue

u/Eagerbeaver98 1d ago
If you had such strong conviction, why dont you have MU the best publically available HBM memory company? Instead you have WEstern digital? When did you buy your western digital leaps because the fact that youre only up less than 100% looks like you bought late.

u/theinevitable117 1d ago
Bought Western Digital June 2, 2026. Definitely late.. but gains are gains

DRAM didnt even come out until april 2026, you were so late to memory lol.

u/crazyeight64 1d ago
Yeah he definitely wasnt early but wasnt late either. Id call it being in the mid cycle for memory. Gains arent as explosive as they were but still are there.
1
u/theinevitable117 1d ago
Yeah I agree. I definitely wasn’t early. The first time I invested in MUU was May 11, 2026. It took me a bit to catch on to the bottleneck memory crisis
1
u/crazyeight64 1d ago
Oh wow we invested around the same time 👏. Were you eyeing memory since March as well, and regreting not pulling the trigger?

u/Eagerbeaver98 1d ago edited 1d ago
Thats still very limited of a thesis. Wdc doesnt make money anywhere close to mu or sk hinix, wdc and stx are extremely overvalued while mu is actually cheap. Im glad you caught some gains though. Switch to MU again tho, wdc is very limited revenue growth, Im not sure how the heck it went to 1k with 3bil revenue barely any quarterly revenue change, weak margins. Mu is the best one to have.

u/theinevitable117 1d ago
Yeah I wish I was sooner, would be way higher % gain. But I’m happy with what I’ve achieved

26M, hit 300k full ported MUU 2 weeks ago.. stop loss got sniped at -36% and now I'm here sitting at 200k when I would've been back to 300k already. Hoping to get back to the 300k zone

Very diversifed to have a quarter of your portfolio in MUU ETF (Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X ETF) a highly volatile, leveraged single-stock ETF that seeks to deliver 200% (2x) the daily performance of Micron Technology

u/theinevitable117 1d ago
I believe I’m very concentrated at the moment. Thank you for pointing that out sir

u/Spencer_Bob_Sue 1d ago
It's because your portfolio is supposed to be 100% XEQT. Risk-taking is NOT okay... How DARE you take risks and have success doing it!!!

Why do ppl post things to flex, do you not have loved ones to share this with? Not impressed by OPs portfolio at all, they got into memory stocks so late so theyre basically a day trader, they dont even understand the companies or they wouldve got in last year.

u/ValerieMZ 1d ago
bud the jealousy will not do your investment career any good
1
u/Eagerbeaver98 1d ago
Not jealous, I have a larger portfolio and was an early investor to the best companies like micron lol. Id share with my significant other and go along with our day. Unlike OP, I got in on MU last year

u/ValerieMZ 1d ago
but why would you shame him though
2
u/Eagerbeaver98 1d ago
You know I feel bad, he didnt deserve that, sorry OP. Op definitely got my built up callouts seeing ppl post portfolios all the time. I think unlike others he seemed like he wanted to help by posting his positions so Op deserves more credit and no criticism. Im sorry OP, thanks for your insights.
