Happy Halloween folks ๐ŸŽƒ Pretty big week, Iโ€™m satisfied with foundry progress for Samsung, market not happy to wait 3 months for shareholder returns but Iโ€™m ok with it. Great Hynix earnings, commentary and shareholder return signal. Quite bad guidance from Kioxia, they blamed quite a few things but Iโ€™d imagine the real reason is bending the knee to $AAPL. $GOOG and $AMZN earnings seemed quite positive for AI capex beneficiaries. $TOYO had an overhang removed, still a major one left for December.

$TOYO U.S. customs and border protection released their shipment after thorough review of their supply chain. The major circumventing accusation still remains an overhang but it seems like they make have a favorable outcome.

$TOYO looks asymmetric. High level thoughts: ๐ŸŸข Trades at < tangible book value and LSD P/E. ๐ŸŸข Potential government credit upside (management and third party representation believes they are eligible). ๐Ÿ”ด Potential circumventing in primary Ethopia facility but US operations ramping offsets the economic risk. The company looks pretty nasty, but largely seems priced in. I imagine this trade is a โ€œheads I win big, tails I lose nothingโ€ situation.

Close that gap baby
Samsung: The company is aware of the marketโ€™s interest in the price gap between its common and preferred shares. When conducting share buybacks and cancellations, it plans to actively review and adjust the proportion of preferred shares repurchased, taking market conditions into account.

Had the wonderful opportunity to work with P on a memory article. Unique piece on the big three in memory and the alternative ways to play them: preferred shares, parents, holdcos. A free article and right before earnings. The trade does not bet on cycle duration. Nothing is risk free, but this is as close as it gets. Link in replies. $MU $DRAM $EWY $SKHY

Not a pretty week for me. I spent some time reflecting and I still wonder what the true lessons and takeaways are. Had I owned pretty much any other semi stocks, I would have fared a lot better. I understand that I have chosen to long companies that are cyclical, but I still struggle to understand why the money printers that are trading at 2027 book value are getting beaten to death. If the large AI risks truly play out, it totally makes sense for my stocks to fall to book value. I can't speak on the high flyers, but how does it make any sense for them to holding up better? I posted a little bit about my thoughts this week, with the Livermore story on breaking oats to cover his corn but I want to expand a bit. Korea is a thin market that is dominated by Samsung and Hynix. Micron trades over 5x the dollar volume of Samsung and Hynix. Nvidia, Broadcom, SanDisk, AMD, Intel, all trade well more dollar volume than Samsung/Hynix. Even neoclouds like CoreWeave and Nebius trade at over half of the dollar volume despite being a tiny fraction of the market cap. So, if you are trying to bring AI stocks down, is the most logical method not to try to nuke Korea and have that sentiment ripple over to American AI stocks? The obvious risk is getting caught offside but with KOSPI futures, EWY, Samsung GDR, Hynix GDR and ADR, SK Square, SK Inc, it seems relatively easy to put this trade on and then find an exit route/hedge. Anyway, always willing to learn so if someone has thoughts or opinions I'd be glad to heard them.

Samsung EV below Micronโ€™s. Hynix trading possibility at next year book value, actively returning capital. Low bars to step over.

Maybe applicable to todayโ€™s market: Livermore was short corn, but a powerful trader had cornered the corn market, making it difficult to cover his short without driving prices higher. Livermoreโ€™s solution was to short oats to trigger selling pressure, hoping traders would then anticipate weakness in corn and sell it too. This helped him exit his corn position. Perhaps if someone wanted to trigger selling among AI infrastructure, the easier move would be to break the Korean market and have that spillover to the American market.
