mesh cube/iStock via Getty Images As shown in the chart below, Micron ( MU ) has surged by more than 750% over the past year and was trading at around $747 at the time of writing. Data by YCharts For investors considering whether to invest at current levels, it is important to be aware that the compute memory industry is highly cyclical. Also, as seen by some of the volatility engulfing tech despite beating earnings, expectations on guidance (future performance) are now running sky-high. This means that buying a single memory stock after this large rally can expose investors to downside risks if the cycle turns. In this context, given that Micron has been hit by cyclicality in the recent past as detailed below, this thesis aims to show that a different approach makes more sense, one consisting of investing in a memory-focused fund like the Roundhill Memory ETF ( DRAM ), which provides diversification across other big names. Better to Hold DRAM than Micron Based on a Past Memory Cycle This is an actively managed fund that provides targeted exposure to the global semiconductor memory industry and manages about $6.5 billion in assets, and its key holdings are detailed below. www.roundhillinvestments.com The top three, Micron, SK hynix, and Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ), together account for about 69% of the total portfolio. These three are the leaders of the memory industry, notably DRAMs (Dynamic Random Access Memories). More importantly, these three also make highly-profitable HBMs (high-bandwidth memories), which help in the training of language models. Other holdings include Sandisk ( SNDK ), Western Digital ( WDC ), and Seagate Technology ( STX ), which specialize in data storage, which is essential to enabling AI models to ingest and generate huge volumes of information. Now, for those prioritizing risk aversion, this ETF route is particularly important as it allows investors not to rely on a single company’s execution, especially given the need to sustain produc...

The White House is inviting Tesla Inc. ’s Elon Musk , Apple Inc. ’s Tim Cook , Boeing Co. ’s Kelly Ortberg and executives from other large companies to accompany President Donald Trump on his trip to China this week, according to an official. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. ’s David Solomon , Blackstone Inc. ’s Stephen Schwarzman , BlackRock Inc. ’s Larry Fink , Citigroup Inc. ’s Jane Fraser and Meta Platforms Inc. ’s Dina Powell McCormick are also on the list of those expected to join Trump’s delegation for his summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping , a White House official said Monday. Musk’s inclusion is the latest sign the relationship between the US president and world’s richest man has been repaired. Musk oversaw the administration’s effort last year to downsize the federal government, but they had an ugly falling out that culminated in Musk’s departure. The two men have since patched up their differences. The group of more than a dozen top executives is joining Trump for a visit later this week that the US president hopes will unlock a series of business deals and purchase agreements with Beijing. It is comprised mostly of representatives of major financial, technology, aerospace and agricultural firms. US officials have said that Trump wants to finalize the details of a board of trade with China during the trip. Larry Culp of General Electric Co. , Brian Sikes of Cargill Inc. , Sanjay Mehrotra of Micron Technology Inc. and Cristiano Amon of Qualcomm Inc. are also expected to attend, the official said. Rounding out the list is Visa Inc. ’s Ryan McInerney , Mastercard Inc. ’s Michael Miebach , Illumina Inc. ’s Jacob Thaysen and Coherent Corp. ’s Jim Anderson . Chuck Robbins of Cisco Systems Inc. appeared on the White House official’s list but a company spokesperson said later he would be unable to accept the invitation, citing upcoming earnings. Tesla shares jumped as much as 1.3%, reversing losses of about 2.7% earlier in the session, and Coherent stock shar...

Cornerstone Total Return Fund （CRF） 周一宣布，将于5月29日向登记在册的股东派发每股0.1176美元的月度股息，除息日为5月15日。 这是该封闭式基金按月度派息政策进行的常规分配。根据公司此前公布的计划，CRF的月度派息额已从去年第四季度的0.1168美元小幅上调至0.1176美元，并至少在2026年前三个季度维持该水平。 按当前股价计算，CRF的年化股息率约为19.65%。作为封闭式管理投资公司，CRF的投资目标是在追求资本增值的同时兼顾当期收益，其投资组合主要涵盖大、中、小盘股公司的权益证券，包括普通股、优先股及可转换证券等。 值得注意的是，该基金的派息并非完全来自投资收益或已实现资本利得。根据公司的披露信息，在当前经济环境下，2026年的部分月度派息预计将包含“返还本金”的成分。董事会认为，通过稳定且高频率的月度分配，可以为股东提供更好的流动性和投资组合管理灵活性。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065
