ASX
Investor update: a public portfolio post lists 24 stocks (no options), with 78% U.S. exposure and 22% international. The poster says they have exited Korea and Japan and retain one Taiwan name — $ASX — as the only remaining exposure to that region. The approach reflects a desire to reduce exposure to crowded optics/memory themes in Korea/Japan/Taiwan while keeping the highest-conviction residual holding.
Recent proof-backed thesis calls
One public portfolio post summarized: 24 stocks, 0 options, 78% U.S. / 22% international. The author reports being fully out of Korea and Japan and maintaining a single Taiwan holding ($ASX).
SK hynix signed an MOU with TSMC to co-develop HBM4 (targeted for mass production in 2026) and next-generation packaging to improve logic+HBM integration, focusing first on improving the HBM base die (logic die) performance using TSMC’s leading foundry process. This supports a longer-term thesis of tighter co-optimization between AI accelerators, advanced packaging, and HBM supply chains.
AGC announced participation in SEMICON SEA 2026 (May 5–7, 2026; Kuala Lumpur) where it will showcase semiconductor materials/components including glass substrates for advanced packaging, glass carriers, films, resin products, synthetic fused silica glass (AQ series), refrigerant gas (AMOLEA™ 1224 YD), and fluorochemical recycling initiatives focused on energy/emissions efficiency and circularity.
Speaker posts a portfolio update: 24 stocks, no options, 78% USA / 22% international. They state they are completely out of Korea/Japan and only have one Taiwan name left ($ASX). Rationale: the area (Korea/Japan/Taiwan themes like optics, memory, etc.) has heavy attention/crowding; they are taking a contrarian approach (“when the market zigs, I zag”).
Current stance
Current recommendation: Hold. No new buy or sell signal is provided — the public post implies a selective reduction in regional exposure while retaining the highest-conviction Taiwan position.

Active and historical ticker theses
Active play noted: a portfolio update explicitly names $ASX as the only remaining Taiwan holding after exiting Korea and Japan, signaling relative preference versus other regional names but without a stated fundamental catalyst.
