Transcripts

play00:02

I know you believe that semiconductor

play00:05

prices are on stocks are up because to

play00:07

you semiconductors means Intel means

play00:10

Micron Technology means uh super micro

play00:14

macro computer but that's only a part of

play00:17

the industry that's the industry that's

play00:20

building out the data centers and that's

play00:23

not where the big element and the big

play00:25

opportunity is no that's the the

play00:28

semiconductor industry I talking about

play00:31

that is down is those people who make

play00:33

the conductors for the electric vehicles

play00:35

for any vehicles for toaster for

play00:38

smartphones for PCs and you're not

play00:41

spending money on that and neither is

play00:43

anybody else because you're spending all

play00:45

your money at the grocery store your

play00:47

rent is going up your interest rates are

play00:50

going up on your credit cards so you're

play00:52

pulling back so the general

play00:54

semiconductor industry is depressed now

play00:57

if you believe that electric vehicles

play01:00

and PCs and and smartphones are going to

play01:03

have to be upgraded because once these

play01:05

data centers are built out and they

play01:08

start delivering artificial intelligence

play01:10

then you're going to have to buy all

play01:12

these new things and that will bring the

play01:16

depressed semiconductor industry back

play01:19

and so if we can identify such as aehr

play01:23

that is down 40% probably down 70% from

play01:27

its high and recognize that they have no

play01:29

debt they're a good strong company they

play01:31

own their space and when that business

play01:33

comes back they're going to explode well

play01:36

I want to show you another one it's

play01:38

called Ultra Clean systems between the

play01:40

two of these you can make probably in

play01:43

2025 from what you can buy them at today

play01:47

you're going to make over 100% let me

play01:50

walk you through it I'm going to first

play01:51

show you my cheat sheet and how I derive

play01:55

what the price is going to be on these

play01:57

stocks in 2025 and where you should buy

play02:00

them now and I'm going to substantiate

play02:03

why those prices of 2025 are correct and

play02:07

then I'm going to take you and I'm going

play02:09

to introduce you so that you know what

play02:11

Ultra Clean does I've already told you

play02:13

what aehr does and this is where you

play02:17

need to be looking and where you can

play02:20

make some money if you put the money in

play02:23

these depressed stocks here is what you

play02:26

need to know this is my cheat sheet I

play02:28

call it a cheat sheet because this is

play02:30

how I try to cheat Wall Street uh I try

play02:32

to figure out where they believe the

play02:35

stock price is going and then where I

play02:38

can buy it to get taken advantage let me

play02:40

give you an example uh I I track uh

play02:43

about 34 stocks and what I'm trying to

play02:46

do is to predict based on W what Wall

play02:49

Street tells me and the information that

play02:52

I can gather what Apple's price is going

play02:54

to be in the future and that's in these

play02:57

green bars here that I do for all the

play02:59

stocks that I track that I track

play03:01

basically I start with uh what's the

play03:04

price based on uh 2024

play03:08

earnings uh that uh that Apple will

play03:11

achieve in the next 24 months again

play03:15

based on uh 2024 earnings and as you can

play03:18

see the earnings in 2023 were

play03:21

$616 and projected in 2024 to be

play03:26

$656 and then

play03:28

$7.15 in uh 2025 so what I do is I take

play03:34

and I I smize that the market believes

play03:37

it's worth uh

play03:38

$170

play03:40

59 based on its earnings of

play03:44

2023 of

play03:46

$616 and a PE ratio of

play03:49

27.7 so what I do then is say Okay based

play03:53

on earnings of 656 and the same PE ratio

play03:58

what price would that give me and that's

play04:01

that 181 then I go to the analyst and

play04:04

and there are 38 analysts who track um

play04:09

uh apple and their average price for

play04:14

2024 12 months from now is

play04:17

$250 the tech price the high that that

play04:22

uh uh Apple has achieved recently is

play04:25

189 and the fair value this is an

play04:28

analysis of their cash flow their free

play04:31

cash flow what is the value of this

play04:33

stock based on the its ability to

play04:36

generate cash and that's

play04:38

$173 54 I take those four numbers I

play04:42

average them and I say okay at current

play04:46

price of $170 159 what would that

play04:51

average price give me uh over the next

play04:54

uh uh 12 months and that's

play04:57

17.6% if I can buy at my Target price of

play05:01

165 Which is

play05:04

$559 less than what it is selling for

play05:06

today I'll get a

play05:08

[Music]

play05:09

2.68% return over the next 12 months

play05:12

that's how this works okay and so you

play05:15

can see I can find some stocks such as a

play05:18

Google if I buy it at my Target price of

play05:22

$130 selling currently at 152 I'll make

play05:26

48% if I buy it at today's price of 52

play05:30

I'll make 26% that's how this works okay

play05:34

so let's just give you some

play05:37

examples uh Nvidia if I buy it at my

play05:41

Target price of

play05:44

$664 I'm going to make

play05:46

121% if I buy it at today's price I'll

play05:49

make 54% but what I have to look at is

play05:53

that number that's the If I multiply its

play05:58

current PE ratio towards its earnings of

play06:02

next year 2024 it's worth

play06:07

$3,681 why is that because its earnings

play06:10

from 2023 are going to increase by 288

play06:15

per is that realistic probably not but

play06:19

for me to make a comparison of all the

play06:22

stocks and then put my own knowledge

play06:25

into it I can come up with if I can buy

play06:27

it at 664 or I'm going to make 120% on

play06:31

it now I don't care whether I buy it or

play06:34

not quite honestly because I don't care

play06:37

what stocks I own what I care about is

play06:40

how much I make what I want to show you

play06:43

is the opportunities of a lifetime

play06:45

that's down here that's what I call my

play06:48

moonshots basically there you have to

play06:51

recognize as I said earlier that the

play06:53

semiconductor business is in a trough

play06:56

it's down why is that because you aren't

play06:59

buying EVS you aren't buying a new phone

play07:02

you aren't buying a new refrigerator why

play07:04

is that because inflation is high

play07:07

because interest rates are high so you

play07:09

have pulled back because you're spending

play07:12

more at the gra grocery more at the gas

play07:14

pump more on your utilities more on your

play07:17

rent so you aren't buying those things

play07:20

that the the mass semiconductor world is

play07:23

making you

play07:25

are you see the semiconductor world as

play07:29

Nvidia

play07:30

and and Micron Technology they are

play07:32

building semiconductors for the data

play07:36

centers that's not where you spend

play07:39

that's not where the majority of the

play07:42

semiconductor business lives it lives in

play07:45

the EVS in the toasters in the

play07:47

refrigerators in the cars and it's

play07:50

currently depressed two of the stocks

play07:52

that I believe are are are just a gift

play07:55

from God are AE HR and

play08:00

um Ultra Clean Holdings unless you

play08:03

follow me you've never heard of them

play08:06

because they right now are depressed I

play08:09

told you that Nvidia has 38 analysts

play08:12

following it and and and studying it and

play08:15

reporting to their superiors about it

play08:18

aehr has won one Wall Street analysts

play08:23

reporting on it they get no publicity

play08:25

they get no headlines they get one

play08:28

analyst you uh Ultra Clean has three I

play08:32

get this from Zach now are there

play08:34

possibly more yes but those who report

play08:37

to Zachs one for AE HR three for

play08:43

uctt so they don't know what I want to

play08:47

do is educate you I've told you about

play08:49

ACR I want to educate you on

play08:54

uctt ultra clean I'm going to show you a

play08:57

video here in a second that will explain

play09:00

entirely what they do and then I want

play09:03

you to go to their earnings report and

play09:05

listen to their CEO and their financial

play09:08

officer and see if you don't believe

play09:10

like I do that I've got an opportunity

play09:13

here that seldom comes down the pike

play09:15

because Wall Street isn't paying

play09:17

attention to it I believe ultra clean uh

play09:21

will give me based on its current price

play09:25

of uh

play09:28

$446 I believe it will give me a

play09:31

52% return if I can buy it for roughly

play09:36

$469 less or $40 I'll make

play09:40

69.9 once this new once this

play09:44

semiconductor business once you buy your

play09:47

new pc you buy your new phone you buy

play09:50

your new car your new toaster and your

play09:52

new refrigerator which will probably

play09:54

happen sometime in 2025 after interest

play09:58

rates come down after inflation slows

play10:00

down these companies will be back on

play10:03

track to what they can Pro they can

play10:05

provide for you so let's let me just

play10:08

take you through Ultra cleans based on

play10:11

their earnings for next year which are

play10:15

going to go from 56 cents this year to

play10:18

aund or to a142 or

play10:21

153% gain based on that at their current

play10:26

PE ratio of

play10:28

79.6 it's going to have a price of

play10:31

$112 based on the three analysts that

play10:35

their average price of $50 and based on

play10:39

their high tech that's the high they had

play10:42

when the EVS were being sold back in

play10:45

2020 and

play10:47

2021 the price is $65 based on Fair

play10:51

Value the their ability to generate free

play10:55

cash flow the price is

play10:58

$43.65

play10:59

actually less than what it is selling

play11:01

for today I take those four prices I

play11:05

average them and based on this price of

play11:08

if I can get it for $40 I'll make

play11:12

69.7% over the next 12 months if I go

play11:16

ahead and buy it at

play11:19

$44.5 I'll make

play11:21

52% the choice is yours so that's how I

play11:25

do this now what I want to do is educate

play11:29

you

play11:29

on Ultra Clean Holdings so you know what

play11:33

they do you know where they fit into

play11:35

this ecosystem and then I'm going to

play11:38

challenge you to and I'll show you where

play11:40

you can get it to go listen to their

play11:43

last quarter's earnings report and you

play11:45

will learn this company is building new

play11:48

facilities condensing their their cost

play11:51

and overhead because they're priming

Savage which is the CFO as you listen to

play17:50

this you're going to hear Jim tell you

play17:54

that the the overall atmosphere of the

play17:57

semiconductor industry is slowing down

play18:00

and they're going through a trough but

play18:02

he's also going to explain to you how

play18:05

they have uh done a lot of work of

play18:08

acquiring another company to give them a

play18:11

larger footprint a larger Tam then he's

play18:14

going to explain to you how they they're

play18:16

consolidating their uh production

play18:19

centers from two or three buildings to

play18:22

one and making themselves more efficient

play18:25

as they move through this period when

play18:28

they're larger customers are working

play18:31

down their inventory because they aren't

play18:34

getting the orders for the toasters for

play18:36

the refrigerators for the EVS you'll

play18:39

also learn that their largest customer

play18:42

is

play18:43

asml the Norwegian company that makes

play18:46

the the the uh companies that do the

play18:49

lithographic printing of the machines

play18:52

that uh make semiconductors their next

play18:55

largest suppliers or largest customers

play18:58

are are the the foundaries and that's

play19:00

going to be the um TW Taiwan

play19:05

semiconductor and Samsung and now as he

play19:09

he he alludes to they are building a

play19:11

relationship through asml delivery of

play19:15

their latest

play19:16

lithography uh uh machines to entail

play19:20

listen to this and come away and see if

play19:23

you don't believe this is an opportunity

play19:26

of a lifetime okay that's how how I

play19:29

invest in stocks I'm not interested in

play19:32

buying the the front runner right now

play19:34

because he doesn't have the potential

play19:37

that these depressed stocks do this is

play19:39

where I'll make my big money will I

play19:41

continue to own and buy at at at any

play19:45

dips in Amazon and Google and apple of

play19:49

course I will because those are the

play19:51

stocks that are going to lead us through

play19:54

this change in our world called

play19:56

generative artificial intelligence

play19:59

if if you watch my yesterday video

play20:01

you're going to learn this is going to

play20:03

change your life but right now the

play20:05

opportunity is in the depressed

play20:08

semiconductor stocks and they're on my

play20:11

cheat sheet and I promise to you I'll

play20:14

find some more so how can you

play20:16

participate that join the tribe go to

play20:20

best of us investors and join our

play20:23

Platinum level right now we have it on

play20:25

sale for 50% off of our monthly fee and

play20:29

you can come along with this ride for

play20:33

how to cheat Wall Street out of their

play20:36

game beat them at their game and we can

play20:39

do that if we can go where they don't go

play20:42

where they don't they they want to talk

play20:44

to you about Nvidia they want to talk to

play20:47

you about super micro they want to talk

play20:49

to you about Micron they don't even know

play20:54

about air systems and Ultra Clean talk

play20:58

to you again

play21:00
