In this millennium, our reliance on the use of semiconductor for technological  advances is undisputed worldwide.  These semiconductors are utilised  extensively in electronic circuits. Automobiles, smartphones, home appliances and wireless networks depend heavily on the use of semiconductors. This is what "makes the world goes round", and is the "DNA" of technology. SIA (The Semiconductor  Industry Association), has recently announced the sales of semiconductors to grow to $488 billion in 2021, and an additional 8.8% in 2022.
Covid 19 pandemic has invariably escalted their sales too.
In summary, isn't an investment in these stocks a lucrative deal? However, before an investor commits his decision, he has to have a comprehensive study of this investment portfolio. Let's also explore the minus sides of this industry.
The key challenges are:
1) The inability to meet the market's demands. Since 2019, there is an acute shortage of chips' supply globally. These high demands for chips may stretch into 2023.This will incur a 27% loss if there is a 3 months'delay in manufacturing.
2) Hence the cost of manufacturing may not meet planned budget.
After weighing through both the positive and negative aspects of semiconductor investment, I opt to follow my heart and favours the trading of  quality semiconductor shares as a long term investment. It is wise to focus on selective business like Fuji Electronic Global, $Applied Material (AMAT.US)$ and $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM.US). Their shares will certainly surge and "march" zealously into the trading market and emerged as  "victorious bulls".
