Should You Choose '0050' or 'Taiwan Semiconductor'? Netizens Recommend This ETF as the Best Option

As global stock markets continue to fluctuate due to the U.S. tariffs on China, the Taiwan stock exchange has seen a reduction in its decline compared to last week. With a new week approaching, many investors are beginning to reassess their strategies. A user on PTT asked whether they should buy Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050) or Taiwan Semiconductor, sparking a lively discussion.
The original poster expressed a desire to find a good entry point amid the recent market fluctuations but was uncertain whether to invest in 0050, which is intended to diversify risk, or in Taiwan Semiconductor, which may be affected by U.S. interventions. They questioned, "Are both options essentially the same?"
Most users leaned towards choosing Taiwan Semiconductor, and one suggested the creation of an ETF specifically designed to combat tariffs. Some investors argued that holding cash is a safer strategy given the current uncertainties.
When discussing investment strategies, suggestions included that "cash is king" and to wait for the market to stabilize before gradually entering the market. Those who seek high returns are encouraged to buy Taiwan Semiconductor, while those looking for stable gains might consider 0050 or 00919.
