2026-05-29 93 +2

TSM thesis is near top of watchlist as the indispensable foundry for NVDA/AMD/AAPL. Held at +5.9%, near 52w highs, reasonable 34x PE for the growth. Catalyst is indirect today but supportive. Hold with high conviction - no breakdown signal.

2026-05-28 91 -4

TSM ranks #2 on thesis in the batch and is the picks-and-shovels play for the entire AI chip cycle. Held winner at +8%, momentum 88, near 52wk high. Catalysts are indirect but the structural demand story is intact. Geopolitical risk is the permanent discount but doesn't change the hold case. Maintain position.

2026-05-27 95 -1

TSM ranks near the top on thesis (97) with strong momentum and is the indispensable foundry for the entire AI silicon stack. Win-Prob 65 reflects proximity to 52w high and geopolitical risk. Held position up modestly — maintain. Catalyst quiet today is a minor demerit vs MRVL/NVDA but doesn't change the structural call.

2026-05-26 96 +2

Second-highest thesis in batch (97), near 52w high, foundry monopoly on leading-edge AI silicon. Win-prob 65 reflects geopolitical discount, not execution doubt. Held +4.2% with momentum and catalyst supportive. Risk_quality low is intrinsic geopolitical, well understood. Hold the winner.

2026-05-25 94 +1

TSM has the second-highest thesis percentile in the batch and is the pure-play beneficiary of both GPU and ASIC catalyst threads. Held position barely positive so not in protect-winner mode, but conviction signals are strong. Hold core position; geopolitical overhang prevents elevation to top tier.

2026-05-24 93 -1

TSM thesis at 97th percentile, win_prob 63, catalyst 70 with two direct articles today on AMD partnership and 2nm Venice ramp. Held position barely positive (+2.4%) but thesis is dominant — TSM is the foundry for the entire AI chip cycle. Hold at strong conviction. Geopolitical risk caps it from going higher.

2026-05-23 94 -1

TSM has top-tier thesis (97), constructive catalyst flow tied to Blackwell ramp, and is held in modest gain. Win-probability 63 is capped by geopolitical discount but the foundry monopoly on AI silicon is structurally sound. Hold.

2026-05-22 95 -1

TSM has near-top thesis (97), strong catalyst flow-through from NVDA's record print, momentum 74, and is held with modest positive PnL. Win-probability capped at 63 by geopolitical discount which is structural, not new. Strong hold — second-best name in batch after NVDA.

2026-05-21 96 +3

TSM is the picks-and-shovels play on the NVDA print. Thesis 97, catalyst 90, near 52wk high. Win-prob capped at 63 by geopolitical discount but that's structural, not deteriorating. Held name, thesis confirming — protect it.

2026-05-20 93 -1

TSM thesis at 97th percentile, win-prob 63, held +1.2%. Dominant foundry with AI capex tailwind. Geopolitical overhang caps win-prob but thesis is essentially uncontested. Hold the position; do not add given sizer-level sector concentration.

2026-05-19 94 -1

Near-top thesis ranking with reasonable 34x PE for the foundry monopoly riding AI capex. Win-probability 63 capped by geopolitical overhang which is structural not deteriorating. Flat P&L since entry but specialists constructive. Hold core position.

2026-05-18 95 +4

TSM scores near-top on thesis as the indispensable AI foundry, with reasonable PE 34x and win_probability capped only by Taiwan geopolitics. Held position essentially flat from entry — protect it. Strong hold.

2026-05-17 91 -3

TSM thesis is near top of batch (97) and momentum strong at 81. Held position consolidating near 52wk high. Win_prob 65 reasonable. Geopolitical risk is persistent but already discounted. Hold the winner — no breakdown signals from specialists.

2026-05-16 94 -2

TSM is #2 thesis rank with reasonable PE 35x for dominant AI foundry position. Near breakout, positive sector catalysts (server shipments, AppMat margins), held +2.3%. Win-prob 65 modest but thesis dominance and breakout proximity justify high conviction. Hold core position.

2026-05-15 96 +5

TSM is the foundry monopoly underpinning the entire AI buildout — thesis 97 reflects that. Near breakout at $411 vs $420 high, constructive catalysts (Cerebras IPO validating demand). Win-prob moderate but the structural position justifies high conviction. Hold the core.

2026-05-14 91 0

Held with strong thesis ranking and intact AI capex cycle. Slight 5d weakness and no catalyst news today, but fundamentals and structural position remain dominant. Hold the winner; not adding given concentration and geopolitical overhang.

2026-05-13 91 -1

TSM has elite thesis ranking (97) and reasonable win-prob (65) as the indispensable AI foundry. Held with modest +1.3% PnL, consolidating near highs. No specific catalyst today and slight 5d weakness, but structural position in AI capex cycle intact. Hold core position; don't add given sector concentration.

2026-05-12 92 -3

TSM has top-tier thesis percentile as the dominant AI foundry with CoWoS demand robust. Slight consolidation near highs (-0.6% 5d) but breakout setup intact. Slightly underwater (-1.65%) but fundamental story strongest in batch after NVDA. Hold the position; concentration prevents adds but no reason to trim a quality core AI infrastructure holding.

2026-05-11 95 0

TSM thesis percentile 97 — the foundational AI chip play with reasonable PE 35x. Held at 7%, consolidating just below $420 breakout. Win-prob 65 solid, broad agentic AI demand confirmation supports continued capex flow-through. Slight 5d weakness is healthy consolidation. Strong hold; would add if concentration permitted.

2026-05-10 95 0

TSM has near-best thesis percentile (97) in batch, reasonable PE 34, and is the most critical node in NVDA's AI supply chain — directly confirmatory news today. Held winner with positive PnL near 52w high. Hold at current weight; sector concentration prevents adding.

2026-05-09 95 0

Top-percentile thesis, foundry monopoly on advanced AI nodes, held at +4.2% near highs. Catalyst is indirect but structural. Win-prob 62 reflects Taiwan tail risk and price already extended. Protect held winner; do not add given sector concentration.

2026-05-08 95 0

Held winner with top-tier thesis percentile and clean technical setup near 52wk highs. PE 34 is reasonable for the growth profile. Geopolitical risk is structural not acute. No specialist breakdown — protect the position, hold at current weight, no add given concentration.

2026-05-07 95 0

TSM is highest-thesis foundry play, held and performing, with structural agentic AI compute tailwinds. Geopolitical risk caps upside but doesn't break thesis. Protect winner at current weight.

2026-05-06 95 -1

TSM held essentially flat (-0.2%) with second-highest thesis in batch. Trading near 52w highs with reasonable PE=34. Catalyst only indirect this cycle and Taiwan risk caps upside, but core foundry exposure to AI capex remains the structural play. Hold; concentration prevents adding.

2026-05-05 96 +5

Second-highest thesis in batch with strong momentum and modestly positive PnL. AI capex cycle intact and Alibaba/datacenter catalysts directly supportive. Win-prob only 62 reflects already-priced-in dynamic and Taiwan risk. Hold at meaningful size — concentration prevents adds, but no reason to trim a working position.

2026-05-04 91 -5

TSM is the second-highest thesis name in batch and a held winner near 52wk highs with reasonable valuation given growth. Catalyst is neutral today (no direct news), and risk_quality=25 reflects geopolitical overhang. Held at 7% — protect the position but do not add. Strong hold but ranks below AVGO/NVDA/MRVL on the catalyst+momentum combo.

2026-05-03 96 0

TSM is the second-highest thesis name in the batch with solid Win-Probability and strong momentum. Already a top-3 holding so cannot add given sector concentration, but the foundry monopoly thesis + AI capex cycle remains intact. Hold at strong conviction.

2026-05-02 96 0

TSM is the #2 thesis name with strong Win-Probability (72), reasonable PE 34 vs growth, and solid momentum near ATH. Held winner with positive PnL. Concentration prevents adding but specialists are aligned constructive. Hold core position.

2026-05-01 96 0

TSM is a held winner up 24% with the second-highest thesis rank in the batch and solid Win-Probability. Three of four specialists constructive. Sector concentration prevents adding, but core principle #1 says protect winners — hold with high conviction. Foundry leverage to $700B AI capex remains intact.

2026-04-30 96 +1

TSM has the highest thesis percentile in the batch (99) and is working with +16% since entry, strong 5d momentum, and breakout setup near 52wk high. Win-prob 72 with reasonable PE of 34. Held position performing well — protect winner. Cannot add due to sector concentration constraint, but no reason to reduce. Hold.

2026-04-29 95 -2

Highest thesis ranking in the batch with supportive Win-Prob and a profitable held position near 52wk highs. The risk agent's concerns are about sizing up, not the thesis. Hold at current weight — strong conviction but concentration prevents adding.

2026-04-28 97 +1

TSM has the top thesis percentile in the batch with strong win-probability and +19% PnL near breakout. The picks-and-shovels play on the entire AI capex cycle. Concentration prevents adding but conviction stays high. Hold core position.

2026-04-27 96 +2

Highest thesis rank in batch with strong Win-Prob and 18.7% gain since entry. Foundry monopoly on leading-edge AI chips remains intact. Concentration prevents adding but this is a high-conviction hold. Protect the winner.

2026-04-26 94 -4

TSM has the strongest thesis-plus-win-prob combination in the batch (99/72) and is a +18.7% winner. Concentration prevents adding, but this is a core hold. Foundry monopoly thesis remains intact and reinforced by today's specialized-silicon news.

2026-04-25 98 +3

Best convergence in the batch: highest thesis percentile, win_prob above 70, +18.7% since entry, momentum near peak. The foundry monopoly thesis is intact and catalyst supportive. Concentration prevents adding but this is a top-conviction hold.

2026-04-24 95 -2

Highest thesis percentile in the entire watchlist combined with the strongest win probability in this batch — a true convergence signal. Up 12.9% since entry as a top-3 holding. Concentration prevents adding, but conviction remains high. The foundational foundry play for the entire AI compute thesis.

2026-04-24 97 +13

Best thesis+win-prob convergence in the batch: thesis=99, win_prob=72 — meets the 'great company, great price' bar. Held winner up 12.9% with strong momentum. Principle 4 weights win-probability heavily and TSM has the only genuinely constructive win-prob read among held names. Core hold; no adds given sector concentration cap.

2026-04-22 84

Highest thesis rank on the sheet paired with 72 win-prob — the convergence we want. Held at 7% with +12.7% gain. Would normally add on this profile, but risk agent hard-flags sector concentration reaching 41% if we size up. Hold at current weight; do not violate risk constraint.
