fantastic video Everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realised early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.
My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

When I came to the U.S. back in the early 80's the phrase 'made in Taiwan' was used as a joke to describe cheap and poorly made goods. I never thought the day would come that Taiwan would be relied upon by the rest of the world for critical supply chain components. GO TAIWAN!!!!
Same with Japan. After WWII into the 1960s anything made in Japan was a joke. Then they changed and changed what they were manufacturing and in the 1980s they were referred with words such as quality and high-tech. Korea, same after the Korean war. Then in the 80s and 90s they started manufacturing cars and other electronics and manufacturing all types of goods. Today, Korea is looked upon a again, quality and high-tech.

It's not emphasised enough that TSMC's success is also built on trust. They have a super strict code of never competing with their customers, which is why no matter how successful they get, the likes of Apple or AMD never feel threatened. They had ample opportunity over the past two decades to branch out, but always left other's cake for other's to eat. Very unlike Samsung.

There has been a sudden increase in Chip demand over the last few years. Just the pandemic alone, lead to millions of people needing home PCs, we cams etc. to be able to work from home. And cars have gotten more advanced, requiring many small computers per cars.
Let me get this straight... The U.S. military's most advanced jet fighter depends on a chip made by TSMC in Taiwan and China is threatening to invade Taiwan?
its not what it seems. TSMC manufacturers the chips but they aren't the suppliers. Lockheed has a stockpile of all microchips used in their military aircraft and there are only 1000 F35s in service thats a small single shipment of chips.
Fascinating...imagine 3Nm fabrication! Even more fascinating is that the former chairman of Intel, Andy Grove, wrote the book ("Only the Paranoid survive" ) on business competitiveness, on never being complacent, never letting your guard down...and yet it could be argued, this is exactly what happened at Intel.....Talk about irony of ironies..
@Brian Browne: That is why Intel turns to US gov't for help. . . thievery! The US gov't will grab TSMC and Samsung for Intel via makeup charges. Then, the company would be forced to sell. Ah, here comes Intel who happens to be in the market for chip making business. US gov't did the same thing to Toshiba, Alstom , Tik Tok and Huawei. Huawei could barely hang on because China stood up to America's thievery. Recently, America just arrested the CFO of Nordstrom. Nordstrom does no business in USA. I can guarantee you that America will make up charges of fraud, etc. Recently, Katherine Tai requested Samsung and TSMC to submit their books for review, otherwise America will exercise other "options". Here comes the same old trick. What a shameful country.
What happened to Intel showcases the biggest weakness of capitalism. Intel's monopoly (before Ryzen) made it slow down innovation in order to maximize shareholder profits, all while AMD took advantage of Intel's incremental upgrades to bring cutting-edge CPUs at affordable prices and gain back market share. Intel is a greedy company.

Don't ignore the fact that the auto industry put themselves into this situation...when sales dropped, the penny pinchers cancelled orders for chips...because they don't think they should store inventory, that they should only have on hand the parts they need to build the cars they are currently building...and cancelling orders helped make the quarterly earnings not take as big a dip. The problem is, car sales picked up much faster than they predicted and the lead times on chips are long. So, the bean counters caused a year's worth of reduced production and thus income, to save money over a quarter or two.
It's called Just In Time (JIT) manufacturing for a reason, the cost savings of not having to build, maintain and pay for warehousing more than justifies their decision.
@@sythex92 until there is a supply chain break. Even the founders of JIT (Toyota) realized this major flaw to the philosophy when the Fukushima disaster resulted in supply shortages. They made changes to the manufacturing philosophy which is why they held out way longer than the others. American companies didn't actually adapt the 'weighting' of supply chains like Toyota more than likely because their primary focus is to look good to investors and the more capitol you have on financial reports, the more people will invest, which results in a higher market cap, and that's all the executive board cares about because of their stake.
Westen way very diferent from the real Chinese philosophy of making business. Now we're starting to realize that. The sacrifices Chinese businesses have to endure in order to make "real profit" from their work. Don't belittle the old 5000 years of civilization. When asked about the success of Westen industrial revolution and democracy, the late Chinese PM Chou En Lai said "it's still too early to say". We have still many things to learn and one best way is to learn from the past. We are so fortunate that they are so wise and compassionate enough to leave them to us. But are we wise enough to use them correctly? Constructively? It is said that the "fabric of the universe is compassion" follow that and everything will turn out well for mankind otherwise we will be forever in conflict. The intention and root of our actions should always be guided by compassion otherwise all is lost. Remember mankind is one whole family. A harmonious family of mankind comes from a harmonious family of societies which come from harmonious individual families which in turn come from individuals of good moral character.

3nm doesn't mean what you think it means. It's not actually 3nm. The "nanometer" word is merely a buzzword-metric reference at this point.

Technology moves fast.
@@bloodaid nope. Thats only true for Intel. Intel makes 10nm transistors now but its performance is equivalent to tsmc 7nm so they renamed it to 7nm. Intel plans to make true 7nm in near future but renamed it to 5nm cuz its performance is equivalent to tsmc 5nm
Actually, TSMC did an investigation into why their clients are touting chip shortages when TSMC is at full 100% chip capacity. Their conclusion was that some of their client's are intentionally hoarding chips to artificially keep prices high. Follow the $$
You realize that "100% chip capacity" means they can't produce chips any faster right? The suspicious thing would be if they were at 50% capacity and companies were claiming shortage. The fact of the matter is, in the past 10 and especially 5 years, there has been a drastic increase in the amount of products that have chips in them. And on top of that the economies of most developing countries has finally reached a point where many of the citizens can actually get phones and other devices now, the available market has absolutely exploded in the last decade while new FAB production didn't keep up. It kind of blind-sided the industry. Throw a global lockdown on top of that where hundreds of millions of people start buying electronics because they're spending more time at home or need a better PC to do work from home, and it made the problem even worse. (and nevermind the rise of EVs which require more complicated chips than a traditional gas vehicle, and vehicles in general starting to put what are essentially PCs in the center console.)
Does not make sense. If they are hoarding chips, are they not shooting themselves in the foot because the scarcity of chips caused by hoarding forced them to cut production and in the process put their companies in financial jeopardy.

In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and N. Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or N. Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know.

Less good news for Taiwan perhaps more good news for China, with TSMC moving its fab facilities outside of the country it is more vulnerable to attack now, and these countries hosting its fabs can now have ever so slightly less incentives to defend it now that they have secured its fabs, and expertise along with it. Many countries are reluctant to go to war with China, especially if they don't have to - insuring they have fab facilities now lowers their incentives to go to war with China in defense of Taiwan. China is happy to see TSMC export its fabs because it means other countries will be less willing to interfere.

@@johnj8639 Taiwan is definitely worth defending. There is a reason TSMC is successful in Taiwan. Taiwan has created the business friendly environment that is possible for TSMC and other innovative companies to succeed. Mainland China does not have have the environment for companies like TSMC to thrive because the nature of the Chinese Communist Party hinders the Mainland Chinese people from creating such an environment.
@@johnj8639 You didn’t explicitly say that Taiwan is not worth defending. What you don’t seem to notice are the other incentives the US and other Western countries have in helping the Taiwanese people avoid the fate on Hong Kong and remain the free people they are.
Imagine being in your prime, working for one of the most cutting edge companies in the world, designing and building devices that will be used by most of humanity in the modern world.
Some of the companies mentioned, Broadcom, Qualcomm, nVIDIA, never had fabs. And Apple too! They came into prominence because of the TSMC foundry model. The fabless design and foundry eco-system is what allowed innovation to flourish, and create the diversity of smart electronics and software pervasive in all aspects of our lives today. If it had been kept as the vertical Intel model, we would have been stuck with a slow-moving monopoly like the old telcos. There would be no internet, smartphones, FB, Google, Netflix, and the YT video which I'm responding to on my e-pad!
BS! It was done to reduce costs and raise stock price by greedy Republican Co. decision makers who had huge stock incentives as part of their compensation. FACT!!
Great video! It's fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes workings of the chip-making industry and the challenges they face. TSMC's $100 billion plan is a bold move that highlights the importance of addressing the chip shortage. I appreciate the detailed explanation of the plan and the potential impact it could have on the industry.
“The key to trading success is emotional discipline. If intelligence were the key, there would be a lot more people making money trading… I know this will sound like a cliche, but the single most important reason that people lose money in the financial markets is that they don’t cut their losses short.”
As much as manufacturing the chips here would be beneficial for cost and leveling the playing field we have to consider our trade partners like Taiwan and the constant threats they are facing from China. As they continue to bully less wealthy nations like Taiwan and Australia we cant simply reduce our reliance on these nations for natural resources and technology by making the stuff at home. We have to stand together and help them fight. Just my two cents but I do not want to see Taiwan fall to the CCP as we all know it will. 台灣加油啦
@Parkmo: You don't know what you are talking about. Taiwan is part of China. UN and USA do not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation. Despite all the noise coming from the White House, America does not recognize Taiwan as a nation. Jimmy Carter signed an agreement recognizing one China policy. Now, they want to walk back. America will sell out Taiwan at the end. America does not care about Taiwan. America is known to screw friends, allies and foes. As Henry Kissinger said. "to be an enemy of America is dangerous, but to be a friend of America is fatal." How you like them apple? BTW, why America let Hawaii independent? The native has been fighting for independence. While at it, return California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas to Mexico.
I used to work in AMD with different jobs but I worked the longest as Electronic Technician. AMD is a very good employer who gave us working students priority and freedom to chose our shifts to fit-in so that we can complete our University education. The wafers arrived in production plant and left as finished products, fully tested then shift back to US.
The economic principle of absolute advantage is very messy; as it negates diversification. In today's sociopolitical climate, it's unwise for these large companies to put their eggs in one basket. Kudos to TSMC for reducing your risk to production.
America should’ve done this A LONG EFFING TIME AGO!!!! Self-reliance does not limit globalization. Only question now? Is Intel working hard and focused enough to make this industry interesting?
Small minded thinking... Reflect on "Who is your global market" that you need to attract to grow.? If you take an isolationist approach to trade, you destroy your ability to grow... Shortsighted selfish attitudes lead to decline... Promotion of "win win" cooperative global trade leads to growth and innovation, shared exchange of skills based development...that is why China's BRI agreements are forging growth among so many nations in the world.... The only significant factor today we see from US geopolitics is illegal wars, regime change and sanctions with loss of reputation... Lack of credibilty and trust in US foreign policy... The "we LIE, we CHEAT, we STEAL" image.
@@andrethorpe6183 china’s bri policy is pure predation. The US held the « win win » discourse for years as well for years but are as predatory as China. There is no win win when dealing with the US, never have never will.
US had their own fabs before they disappeared because of *cost* . If things go the way they *should* and we would not have global warning and other nasty problems.
We should have, but all of our rich people want to save a buck by outsourcing. Then, there is Intel who wanted to produce for shareholders, so they cut back their R&D effort. Rich get richer and we fall behind.
Nice video very much engaging from the beginning to the END, I don't know who, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability
@Kendrick Scott Beautifully said, I tell my folks these words everyday. It's good to save money but most people don't understand the market moves and tend to be misled in facts like this and always depend on money in the bank. ,,
I understand the fact tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how andthat where to invest in these?
@@caiolettiere773 Hey, this is a computer age. Peeps who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets ,how many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts? I rest my case.
If you think you're too busy to trade or learn how to trade, just know I have some friends who invest in a platform where experts devote their time and help them trade and generate a good ROI
Hey Apple, how about you use your massive resources and position as one of the wealthiest companies on the planet to incentive and help build out the supply chain here in North America? I'll be the first in line to switch from Android and buy a US-made iPhone!
@@kamikazejs950 because the cost would go through the roof. It would become really expensive. You'd be surprised how condensed the supply chain in China is for big electronics manufacturers.
@@Hans-gb4mv fr, Americans want manufacturing back but don’t want to accept low wages, how are you gonna compete in the international market when China can hire 10 people with the salary to hire an American. And still everyday Americans complain about low wage 🤣
@@Hans-gb4mv Yea right I remember when they said phones would cost $1000 if they were built in the USA and look where were at now. Plus that wasnt too long ago.
America won’t get manufacturing back anytime soon. It’s not because America isn’t Capable. It’s because of all the regulations. IE minimum wage, and business regulations That’s makes manufacturing cheaper else where Not only does regulations increase prices, but they send jobs overseas. So you can thank the democrats
TSMC is a manufacturing company, AMD is a designing company. They work in different businesses. If it is worth mentioning, it should be Global Foundries which was the manufacturing department of AMD.
