Semiconductor stocks are now up 246% over the last 14 months, surpassing the 234% surge during the peak of the dot-com bubble.

Funny seeing people talk bad about value investing when they are FOMOing these AI and Space stocks at unrealistic valuations. Herd behavior never changes and never will. Its ingrained. Remember if you own these high-flying stocks your exit liquidity for someone that got in early.
I remember buying $MU, $TSEM, $COHR, $PLAB and several other Semi related stocks when they were screening as value stocks. Now valuations are completely disconnected.

Their is a huge bull case for Latin America here:
The region is finally moving past decades of boom bust cycles with fiscal discipline and structural reform.
Countries leading the way:
Argentina (Javier Milei): Driving one of the most ambitious fiscal adjustments in modern history to eliminate deficits and curb inflation.
Brazil: Digital infrastructure leader in the region with the PIX payment rails, and tech hub for investment.
Mexico: Mexico’s unique position as a global manufacturing powerhouse for US is the epicenter of international nearshoring.
El Salvador (Nayib Bukele): Implementing a drastic shift in public security that has fundamentally altered the domestic landscape, creating a new baseline for governance. Opened up tourism market.
I think it’s an investment theme that is widely under discussed.
