But, I digress. A certain company, often overlooked yet with a certain… heft, stands poised on the brink of joining this exalted club. That company is none other than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC for short, with a market cap currently at a respectable $1 trillion. Why, one might ask, is this unsung hero of the chipmaking world poised for such a meteoric rise? Well, brace yourselves, for this story is one of slow yet steady dominion in the semiconductor world, like a gentleman entering a room and quietly taking his rightful seat.

Yet, the S&P 500 rarely graces us with its average 10% return in a single year.

Warren Buffett may be the most famous name in the asset management game, but he’s hardly the only one with a knack for finding gold in the stock market’s rocky terrain. David Tepper, the billionaire helmsman of Appaloosa Management, is a master of the craft, and his latest moves are as revealing as they are instructive. Like a seasoned sailor navigating uncharted waters, Tepper has charted a course through the AI-driven storm, buying up three of the most hyped trillion-dollar stocks while unloading three others.

Despite being one of the nation’s largest landlords, Mid-America often dances in the shadow of its more glamorous peers on the glittering coast. But lo and behold, dear investor, it finds itself standing at the precipice of opportunity-its very own dramatic twist lies in wait. For though its share price has fallen nearly 10% this year, there is much more to this tale than a mere decline. The stage is set for a return, as growth looms just beyond the horizon, hand in hand with a dividend yielding a humble 4.3%. A combination so tantalizing, so ripe for the taking, that one might call it a veritable “screaming buy.”
