Trade Ideas
Nancy Tengler CEO & CIO, Laffer Tengler Investments 28:13
Buy Nvidia on dips for AI growth
Nancy Tengler added to Nvidia after the DeepSeek selloff, buying at around $108 per share, and continues to add to the name on dips. She believes Nvidia remains a core AI beneficiary with strong long-term demand, and the recent pullback from euphoric levels creates a buying opportunity.

Avoid Intel due to competitive lag
Nancy Tengler has stayed out of Intel, expressing doubt about its ability to catch up in technology and foundry production. She sees no clear catalyst and prefers to avoid the name.
Nancy Tengler CEO & CIO, Laffer Tengler Investments 29:19
Micron benefits from AI memory demand
Nancy Tengler has been adding to Micron Technology over the last couple of months, viewing it as a cyclical semiconductor name that benefits from AI memory demand and trades at a low forward multiple despite strong earnings.
Nancy Tengler CEO & CIO, Laffer Tengler Investments 29:19
Add AMD for AI chip opportunity
Nancy Tengler has been adding to AMD over the last couple of months, seeing it as an AI chip play that has appreciated dramatically. She plans to trim it after further appreciation but currently holds a long position.
Nancy Tengler CEO & CIO, Laffer Tengler Investments 29:36
Trim Broadcom after overweight position
Nancy Tengler trimmed her position in Broadcom because it became grossly overweight in her portfolio after its huge run-up. She advises taking advantage of such run-ups to reduce exposure, implying the stock is not attractive at current levels for new buyers.

SAP is an AI value opportunity
