TSMC just reported INSANE earnings.

Revenue: $46.7B (+41% YoY)
EPS: $4.60 (+69% YoY)
Net profit margin: 51%

Yet the global semiconductor sell-off continues.

If earnings THIS strong can’t lift the market, what will?

Are we about to see a massive reversal, or is there more pain ahead?

People are panicking over a 2% market drop.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has already survived:

• April 2025: -21.2%
• March 2026: -9.7%

And still went on to make new highs.

A 2% dip isn’t a crisis. It’s part of investing.

Zoom out.
