BLOX Vs. LFGY: This Crypto Income ETF Is Beating Bitcoin While Others Erode — Positive

BLOX  LFGY   Seeking Alpha — December 26, 2025

While the spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) delivered a negative return of -14.62% over the last 6 months, the BLOX fund provided investors with a +15.51% Total Return. Fundamental analysis reveals that BLOX's success stems from its use of underlying physical assets and put spreads, whereas YieldMax's synthetic strategy for LFGY leads to inevitable capital erosion. My stress test indicates that in the event of a 20% Bitcoin drop, LFGY risks losing up to 45% of its NAV.

TSMC: Why 2026 Will Be Even Bigger — Positive

TSM   Seeking Alpha — December 26, 2025

TSMC's 2025 rally validated my 2024 Buy; I'm extending it into 2026 because AI/HPC demand remains early, supporting sustained TSM earnings momentum and premium valuation multiples. Q3 delivered a major double-beat: revenue +40.8% YoY, EPS beat 11.2%, margins and ROE rose, with HPC now 57% of sales and demand stayed insane. Scale is the moat: $40–42B 2025 capex with a path to ~$50B in 2026/27 should expand advanced-node share further, driving pricing power versus Intel, Samsung.
