I have been a pretty wild week in the markets honestly. The S&P 500 dipped 0.52% and the Nasdaq is down 0.32%.
What's really crazy is the US 30-year bond yield hitting 5.31%—we haven't seen levels like this since 2008! On top of that, the geopolitical stuff is keeping the VIX elevated around 15.18.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Anthropic just posted Q2 profits that are 13x higher year-over-year, which absolutely sent memory chip stocks flying.
If you're building a 50-year retirement portfolio, the semiconductor sector is still a beast.
I've been looking at the AIS ETF recently because it holds about 8% SK Hynix and 8% Micron, making it a great complement to SMH which is super heavy on Nvidia but lacks memory exposure. Just keep stacking and investing for the long haul.
