Given the market’s continued sell-off today, I am recommending we roll our protective puts on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). This time, we will be rolling out one week as well as to lower strike prices. This allows us to keep our hedges in place another week while taking some profits…
Stocks are moving higher today following a sharp pullback last week that continued on Monday and Tuesday. With a Federal Reserve announcement scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Eastern, I think it’s wise to hedge our leveraged recovery positions in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) by purchasing puts. Note that these are purely…
The market sell-off this week and over the past month has been particularly unkind to the semiconductor sector. Fears of still-hot inflation and further aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have hit stocks like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) hard. As you know, I am bullish on the chip sector…
The short legs of our Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) LEAP call recovery positions expired worthless last week.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) has run up this week and the defensive puts we purchased are on track to expire worthless. We will simply watch them do so. I am also recommending we roll the short leg of the LEAP call spread out two weeks and to a higher strike price to capture more potential…
I am recommending we roll the short legs of our Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) recovery positions out to generate more income. I then want to use that cash to help purchase protective puts to hedge against a potential sell-off following today’s Federal Reserve announcement. Since Advanced Micro Devices is scheduled…
It’s time to initiate a LEAP call recovery tactic for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). I covered this strategy in a recent coaching session. It involves using the capital after being called out of our shares — $7,500 per 100 shares for both AMD and TSM — to purchase long-dated call…
As I stated in the previous alert, we are going to allow our shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) to be called away at the $75 strike price.
