M&A and spinoffs get more common every year. Chances of a full career for a single company seem remote. That's not just tech though. And I have great confidence chips will do fine long-term, no clue about a year from now. The stocks anyway.

I'll reach 25 years at my tech company this coming July. I did have an 11 month stint at Raytheon and I think I never put that thread up about my horror stories, my bad.

Yeah, at the first sign of the chip shortage easing, they surged. I expect chip stocks to stay in favor into, well, as far as I can see with my crystal ball. From a pure growth perspective, NVDA is the champion, but from a DGI perspective, AVGO remains the king.
Amusing story. One of my best friends got a job at Analog Devices here in the Boston area after college. He worked there for about 10 years, had enough, quit, and moved around to the various chip companies here. Recently, the company he was working for was bought out by Analog, so he's back to where he started.
they've been doing well recently--i own--AVGO/QCOM/MRVL/CSCO/AMAT/LRCX/MU/NVDA/TSM
NVDA is one of my larger positions and i was buying mu/amat/lrcx for a bit not that long ago
the only one i'm not too keen on is csco but i hold it anyways
RE: What are your winners & losers today? - rayray - 11-20-2021
i'm also bullish on anything futuristic/ai/machine learning/metaverse etc etc
been accumulating RBLX/ATVI/FB/GOOGL/AMZN/MTTR/
and some others
but rblx is one of my favs--i really like the future of this company
oh how can i forget about msft, another large position
RE: What are your winners & losers today? - ken-do-nim - 11-20-2021
Thanks for the tips Ray! I had never heard of RBLX before. They've nearly doubled in the past couple of weeks!
I have another friend who works at QualComm. Lots of tech companies in the Boston area.

48, but I'm still 40-something!

You're at the age where I stopped caring hold old I was. It's rare to do a full career at one company now.
RE: What are your winners & losers today? - poneyboy - 11-22-2021
Bought TDOC and some MA
TDOC hasn't been at these levels since 3/2020

Port down just a little over 1% for the week so I survived. I tried jumping out the basement window a couple times but it didn't work.
Half my losses are in my Russell 2000 index fund. I'll stay the course. It's a core holding. It's about the only index truly undervalued now but it could go lower of course. Very tempted to average in just a little more.
