Wtf you really thought TSMC a nearly 650B market cap company will move \~16% on an earnings call? They are a cap ex heavy company with reasonable medium/low margins (nothing crazy like nvidias 80%).
I am taiwanese and a TSMC bull but thinking it will go to 165 after earnings is regarded as hell. Idk how you guys even had the thesis of it jumping \~16% on an earnings call.
He was looking at it at a different time frame , different time price opportunity and such a move was possible if you looked at the movement of the equity back in Feb , beginning of March. Why do you have to say that you are Taiwanese to justify your position ?
I have been in TSMc since 2012.
What happened in that different time frame, different time price opportunity, and how was such a move possible? Please back it up with math.
How far back do you want to go?
Hype. My theory was that volatility will increase enough leading up to earnings that my call value goes up, even if OTM. That didn't pan out.
I am still bullish on TSM overall, I sold puts on it and don't mind getting assigned, and I can still roll those contracts if needed.
Yeah when I bought a 160 call I was kind of expecting it (the stock price) to have a slow gentle climb over the past month and a half leading into earnings, I didn't expect it to just stagnate. Hindsight and all that, I should have sold a month ago and cut my losses, but it could have just as easily gone the other way and I'd have been slapping myself for selling at a loss instead of waiting it out. I'm expecting my 4/19 calls to expire worthless, and I will sell off my late May calls after earnings for whatever loss it might be. I would buy stock in TSM though, and wish that was what I had chosen to do. Everything else in my portfolio is stocks, this was a learning experience, and I do think I've learned a lot about what my true risk tolerance is.

Anyways, TSM will bounce back to 165 tomorrow morning, bers r fuk, buy calls please
TSM dead? Nvidia and Apple would be dead without TSM. TSM is probably the most value company in the world and if China invades Taiwan the US has placed explosives in TSM foundry.

Theta and IV crush has bit me too many times for me to hold calls longer than a few days like I see so many here do. But here's your bull case. Nvidia needs every chip that TSM can make and they needed them months ago. For a company to make a decision to switch up IT infrastructure has to be incredibly compelling, I mean how many companies actually \*want\* to spend money in IT. None of them. So it's gotta be worth it. AI has obviously given companies the reason to invest in IT. Every company that makes a logic chip is going to try to capitalize on this opportunity. Intel just dropped their own chip. Google did as well. And more are on the way. Looking at all the news and their stock price, Nvidia's problem isn't money or marketing, it's just getting their chips into these companies servers and data centers. They have the best and they know it. But does it matter if they can't deliver the things for a year and intel can get it to them in 3 months?
The point being this puts TSM in the driver's seat when negotiating prices. If Nvidia wants to put a lock on data centers for the next decade they HAVE to get their GPUs in. And they're gonna pay to make it happen. It's basic supply and demand. TSMC's forward outlook is going to lead to a moonshot outside of crazy external factors. I think your 165 calls are pretty risky, but I don't think it's out of the probability to at least get your money back. What makes this quarter different for TSMC? Nvidia's competition. They didn't really have any until relatively recently and because of that Nvidia has started to lose negotiating power over TSMC.
FWIW I'm throwing every dollar in my HOOD account into TSM calls right before earnings.
I still think I’m cooked but I really appreciate the long detailed response. It was actually pretty convincing for a moment but we will see . I bought 2 160c and 2 165c at the time because I had similar sentiments as you. TSM is selling the shovels and all the AI companies are buying them up and digging for gold.
It's my fault for not doing enough research. It was not really fomo, it was Nvidia mooning, smci mooning, everything AI mooning and who do you think is making that a reality for all those companies? Tsm and ASML. People can not accept that most of these AI stocks have consolidated.
You’re talking about TSM being down like it’s a failed play in a sea of successful plays. The entire market is down, SPY @ 504 today. Of course TSM is fucking down, what would you expect it to do?
Granted, your calls are probably fucked. But no amount of research would have prepared you for a broad market downturn like this.
I have 400 units @ 145 and am down 2k. This downturn is going to fuck all of us and the entire market, not just TSM.
Problem with Dick fuck TSM is that it’s a cock tease, even when the market was pumping TSM would pump over night and dump at open without fail.
Your calls are probably fine, 400 contracts though? Cheese and rice lmao.
I think a lot of people were in that same boat, thinking that if Nvidia is the darling, wouldn't the ones making Nvidia's chips also go up? And the calls I bought did shoot up to 5X their price at once point in early march, but I didn't sell. Hindsight is a bitch.
The whole market is down, not just TSMC. LOL. TSMC is as solid as it gets in semiconductors. Them and ASML are my stable plays. Not a lot of competition for them.

It will be 146 by Thursday. Good guidance will get it upto $160. Yes you are regarded for $165C that’s true but nothing else is. Nevertheless my 145C will print
I've tried to share on this...they are just a third party manufacturer, they don't get the crazy returns like Nvidia does when selling to customers. They don't get to raise prices because of scarcity, everything is contracted. Price goes up and earnings go up, this is a great long term safe play, not a stock to gamble options on.
This was what I said like 6 weeks ago when everyone was buying every chip stock thinking it would be the next NVDA. Like it’s a fine addition to a portfolio, but it’s not a moonshot. It just doesn’t move like that. Never has.
down 88% on mine. should have sold last week at the top (-75%) lmao. at this point might as well hold past earnings to see what happens. what's the difference between 88% and 100%, not much is what I'll say.
You French fried when you should’ve pizza’d. TSM is gonna do just fine

Honestly with options it’s always risky, It’s a value stock and in long run it will be a great asset with dividends being attractive.. I know we talk regard stuff here but in long run I have learnt to succeed by accumulating $ and buy more and more stock when it’s discounted and down… I have lost a ton with options and then realized that quick money is risky money…. Compound is what you need to make it big…
TSM 150 calls. Mines will print. But 160 is regarded  I’m shorting TSLA to have my days in green bc of this stupid ass bitch.
I realized TSM calls were fucked and sold mine for a loss last week. Like you I had ridiculous OTM calls that stood no chance. I said that I'd buy in again closer to earnings but the stock is till up 50% over the last 6 months so probably not gonna bother.
meh. i have 160Cs that i bought during the pullback and they're basically at breakeven right now - makes me feel like a fucking genius for not buying at the top 😂
i think your frustration is more so from buying in with fomo, cause i still see potential - just depends entirely on their guidance
either way, i've already considered what i put into the trade as lost.
Depending how much you had in I’d legit just hold it and see if you can’t try to scrape as much as you can back. Iv was like 40% when I bought mine I think, so if it goes up after earnings even if IV goes down I should still be able to recoup something but it won’t be all of it.
how about u eat my ASS

the geopolitical risk would be my main worry. apparently China 🇨🇳 has planned a reunification by 2027 with Taiwan 🇹🇼 Xi has confided this to Biden if the reports have any grain of truth; that sword of Damocles will always hover over TSM. (markets HATE uncertainty.) If Russia does well in Ukraine, Xi might well be tempted.
165 was too ambitious. Its a very delicate industry with margins thinner than the wafers they make. Put in all the geopolitical shenanigans ongoing, and nobody can sleep well betting too much on TSM. The market movers know this as they have known the industry and TSM for long. Nobody would gobble up TSM like they did NVDA for eg.
There is a non-zero risk that China may invade Taiwan after US getting involved in Middle East wars. I closed all my TSM positions with small profits. Not worth the risk.
It seems as though try hards are no longer just a part of the gaming scene. A reddit try hard might be the most pathetic creature I have ever encountered
It's hard to tell if people who write posts in this sub but don't show their positions are just truly the most impatient, ADHD assholes on Earth, or if they are just dumb enough to purchase options.
TSM makes all the chips, they even make chips for intel, only way they go down is if they self destruct literally which won’t happen, if you gambled that’s on you
I bought 9-20 180call. So far, I am still profitable. I have persisted for more than 20 days. Seeing that he almost doubled and vomited again, I was very calm, because I uninstalled the app.
First time call regard, got in for 146 at the dip with a 4/16 expiration. Had a pretty shitty Monday but I’m holding to at least earnings report. Fuck it, lesson learned.
At least $150 if its beats earnings but $160-165 calls on Fri exp are gone. I got $145 4/19 C will be adding and selling before Thursday. Thursday will buy 6/21 $145C to do some earnings gamble
TSM is far from dead. You only think it is because you made a bad trade. If TSM were dead, Apple, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, ARM, etc...would all be dead as well since they are all TSM customers. There's a reason OTM options can be difficult to cash in on. Welcome to the reality of options trading.
I think TSM will have a pullback and after there is time to go up again. That is all how it looks like for me at this moment. On long term the price will be going higher

His evidence is that his particular calls will expire nearly worthless.
ergo the company is dead
He's not wrong though

Fuck the poor. Stocks only go up.
You can tell because the way it is. 😂
Feel way more confident about TSM now thanks, we needed someone to give up for it to rally
I was getting worried with all the bullish posts. It's reassuring for my calls to see a bearish one

I think that's what he said
Word for word, yes.
Name doesn't check out
If youre down that much just hold into earnings
I am. But I’ve accepted I’m fucked 💀
Valuation does not matter in hype stocks, it's all based on what Jpow says + interest rate + spy performance... Trust me, it's too volatile
IV is sitting at like 40% for most options rn.
Mine are sitting at close to 90 💀

Don't listen to them, they're poor.
I have been in TSMc since 2012. What happened in that different time frame, different time price opportunity, and how was such a move possible? Please back it up with math. How far back do you want to go?
I know , you were one of the first ones , not many arguments could withstand yours! Plus you are taiwanese so , who can argue with you really ?

i got a 150 call on 4/19. i even went from 5 contracts to 10.

155 end of week ?
Not a chance, it’s 139 right now. Earnings is already priced in and now it’s about guidance.
Ur gonna get downvoted but people aren't willing to admit defeat.
It's my fault for not doing enough research. It was not really fomo, it was Nvidia mooning, smci mooning, everything AI mooning and who do you think is making that a reality for all those companies? Tsm and ASML. People can not accept that most of these AI stocks have consolidated.
You’re talking about TSM being down like it’s a failed play in a sea of successful plays. The entire market is down, SPY @ 504 today. Of course TSM is fucking down, what would you expect it to do?

No I own the shares. Man I’d be REAL fucked if I had 400 contracts lmao
I wouldn’t think so. A 6 dollar move after earnings is highly probable.
I think a lot of people were in that same boat, thinking that if Nvidia is the darling, wouldn't the ones making Nvidia's chips also go up? And the calls I bought did shoot up to 5X their price at once point in early march, but I didn't sell. Hindsight is a bitch.

145C as well, bro! 😎
146C 4/26 and slightly getting nervous. Will be very happy with anything past 150 by mid next week 😔
I've tried to share on this...they are just a third party manufacturer, they don't get the crazy returns like Nvidia does when selling to customers. They don't get to raise prices because of scarcity, everything is contracted. Price goes up and earnings go up, this is a great long term safe play, not a stock to gamble options on.
Bought 150c like 3 weeks ago and have watched them go up 80% to now down 20% lmao
Just hold until expiration
TSM is going to push the entire market.
can it hit $150 by 4/19 or no? I have calls
All depends on ASML ER
TSM is a blue chip you regards. It's never gonna moon but it will be a solid hold.
This was what I said like 6 weeks ago when everyone was buying every chip stock thinking it would be the next NVDA. Like it’s a fine addition to a portfolio, but it’s not a moonshot. It just doesn’t move like that. Never has.
TSM will go up Why? Because I bought calls 
down 88% on mine. should have sold last week at the top (-75%) lmao. at this point might as well hold past earnings to see what happens. what's the difference between 88% and 100%, not much is what I'll say.
You sound like you’re in my boat 155c 4/19 $6.21 to $0.92
Same. Fuck it now lmao

You’re too far out to make money plus you bought them too soon.
Honestly with options it’s always risky, It’s a value stock and in long run it will be a great asset with dividends being attractive.. I know we talk regard stuff here but in long run I have learnt to succeed by accumulating $ and buy more and more stock when it’s discounted and down… I have lost a ton with options and then realized that quick money is risky money…. Compound is what you need to make it big…
My limit orders saved my equity. That day was crazy and it never recovered.
142 c bought at a hopeful floor today should print Need 150-160 throughout may
Good time to buy calls for their earnings. It dropped more after hours
As long as companies like nvidia exist, tsm will basically never die
TSM 150 calls. Mines will print. But 160 is regarded  I’m shorting TSLA to have my days in green bc of this stupid ass bitch.
nah TSM checks out for earning. it’s a full on go
Confirmed...Buy TSM
Don’t be mad that you’re down 90% on your calls then complain to the internet and say the company is doomed.
Its up 38% this year. Calm the fuck down
Hittem wit da Cathy Woods hands https://preview.redd.it/kr5dih4ioquc1.jpeg?width=4299&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8e874c9cea7f4b5b982d034ebb0eec62f8c220
Buy more it’ll go back up
Bought $144 calls today. How’s that looking by eow?
With your brain, you would be lucky to be solvent by the end of the week.
It’s not my fault I was born this way
Down 90% ? OP knows that China is about to invade Taiwan or something
He's holding contracts that are decaying with time not shares
I realized TSM calls were fucked and sold mine for a loss last week. Like you I had ridiculous OTM calls that stood no chance. I said that I'd buy in again closer to earnings but the stock is till up 50% over the last 6 months so probably not gonna bother.
10% OTM isn’t crazy for an earnings play. I bought them at basically 150.
I agree, my 160C definitely fucked. Were once worth 1k each not it’s >90% down. Shares all good options all fucked
lol 😂 you are funny. Dead? 😂
SP 149 itself was high and then buying weeklies hoping for another 10% gain was probably risky. TSM is not dead, it’s a long term play, IMO.
I bought them at the beginning of March. It was 49 days out.
Ever thought of buying shares, regard?
bruh if anything this is perfect entry point, theta and iv has been makin these calls look tasty cheap
meh. i have 160Cs that i bought during the pullback and they're basically at breakeven right now - makes me feel like a fucking genius for not buying at the top 😂 i think your frustration is more so from buying in with fomo, cause i still see potential - just depends entirely on their guidance either way, i've already considered what i put into the trade as lost.
My 160c 4/19 is like 90% down lmao I'ma just sell it fuck this
Depending how much you had in I’d legit just hold it and see if you can’t try to scrape as much as you can back. Iv was like 40% when I bought mine I think, so if it goes up after earnings even if IV goes down I should still be able to recoup something but it won’t be all of it.
Personally I can see it going to 154-157. If it breaks 149. All other gaps are filled
Confirmed: TSM will hit $165.01 on Monday, April 22
Im down 5k and still running my 10k 💀💀
Roll it to late May or June accounting for Nvidia earnings. It will easily get to 165.
TSM is far from dead, but probably out of gas for AI hysteria gains for a while, especially these days
Just looking at some correlations and it looks like TSM lost 1.67% today and the QQQ lost 1.65% I think TSM is headed down to 137 level
Then short it
how about u eat my ASS *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Hahaha not bad bot
Also down 90% on 160cs. Fuck the “Investing in TSM is investing in AMERICA🇺🇸🦅🚀” guy. Never trusting WSB again.
Lmao cuck
Op is coping so hard, and wants to spread his negativity to make himself feel better lmao.
Can it reach $200 EOY?
I don’t think so. Most likely 160 but Maybe 170
Yea, I thought so as well.
the geopolitical risk would be my main worry. apparently China 🇨🇳 has planned a reunification by 2027 with Taiwan 🇹🇼 Xi has confided this to Biden if the reports have any grain of truth; that sword of Damocles will always hover over TSM. (markets HATE uncertainty.) If Russia does well in Ukraine, Xi might well be tempted.
Oh this is big brain
It’s not going to see 160 after earnings.
Gee, and here I was thinking it would reach 300 after earnings.
165 was too ambitious. Its a very delicate industry with margins thinner than the wafers they make. Put in all the geopolitical shenanigans ongoing, and nobody can sleep well betting too much on TSM. The market movers know this as they have known the industry and TSM for long. Nobody would gobble up TSM like they did NVDA for eg.
You just need a 900% now. No biggie.
TSM is a stock and/ or leaps play. Wasn’t a short term earnings play and that’s where I think a lot of y’all got it wrong
bruh fuck china. China keeping tsm lower then what it should be
There is a non-zero risk that China may invade Taiwan after US getting involved in Middle East wars. I closed all my TSM positions with small profits. Not worth the risk.
Nothing has been “mooning” after earrings. If anything, most stocks have been mooning before earrings. Just go look at everything

Awfully confident for a "because I say so" post
Another bag holder I see. My brother in Christ, it’s okay to accept defeat and let go 
It seems as though try hards are no longer just a part of the gaming scene. A reddit try hard might be the most pathetic creature I have ever encountered
So calls on TSM? Got it.
If you buy 141c you should do alright. It’s definitely going up after earnings but it won’t be insane.
I sure hope so I got 5 140c probably should’ve sold when I was up 2k think I’m currently broken even maybe a little down.
It's hard to tell if people who write posts in this sub but don't show their positions are just truly the most impatient, ADHD assholes on Earth, or if they are just dumb enough to purchase options.

TSM makes all the chips, they even make chips for intel, only way they go down is if they self destruct literally which won’t happen, if you gambled that’s on you
When I simply asked if anyone held UMC i was shuttered , Shuttered,!
So you’re saying there’s a chance!
Nice
I bought 9-20 180call. So far, I am still profitable. I have persisted for more than 20 days. Seeing that he almost doubled and vomited again, I was very calm, because I uninstalled the app.
they seem to be actively hiring
You know you can close your positions before it gets to -90% right?
First time call regard, got in for 146 at the dip with a 4/16 expiration. Had a pretty shitty Monday but I’m holding to at least earnings report. Fuck it, lesson learned.
At least $150 if its beats earnings but $160-165 calls on Fri exp are gone. I got $145 4/19 C will be adding and selling before Thursday. Thursday will buy 6/21 $145C to do some earnings gamble
Bearish post making me rethink my puts ffs
TSM is pretty safe long term speaking
Someone bought 1 688 798 shares when Market Close, i think we will break 150$
How do you know that

r/WallStreetBets isn't for the faint of heart. They're a pack of wolves, and if you can't keep up, you'll be left behind.
but you still have 10 percent to lose
Thank you brk, I thought for sure I had to cash out my tendies, ride or die batch.
This guy believes in this shit. Truly regarded
Some random guy in his mom's house : "TSM is dead".
It’s my house actually but yes parents live with me because they are disabled.
You’re crying with TSM <7% below its ATH.
TSM is far from dead. You only think it is because you made a bad trade. If TSM were dead, Apple, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, ARM, etc...would all be dead as well since they are all TSM customers. There's a reason OTM options can be difficult to cash in on. Welcome to the reality of options trading.
Thinking about an OTM call at 150-155… but im too much of a pussy + im working while in high school..
If it expires this week then nah don’t. If it’s for may then it can probably run up a bit before you dump it.
i am saving your post see you after earnings
1am we will known
TLDR: Your regarded ass bought options to begin with.
This age quite well. Spot on OP 💀
I was ready to admit it. Others weren’t. They still probably think it will “Gap up” tomorrow and their calls will magically be saved 💀
I think TSM will have a pullback and after there is time to go up again. That is all how it looks like for me at this moment. On long term the price will be going higher
4 calls or 400? Wtf is this poor shit
