It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Yesterday saw the latest Fed meeting. As expected, the Fed had some nice things to say about how the economy was doing, and why all those rising prices and shrinking portion sizes at the grocery store were temporary. But when it came to, say, pulling back on the billions of dollars per day of bond buying, the central bank once again punted on the issue, saying they were looking into it. This is a replay of its model from the last crisis. Yes, the Fed will eventually scale back its bond buying, possibly even to zero. And it may, some years after that, even raise interest rates again. But if another crisis hits? It's back to the money printing. That's why we'll never go back to the normalcy of the 1990s-era Fed, where interest rates fluctuated over various concerns, and when you could avoid the risk of stocks by parking your cash in a bank account for 4-5 percent returns.

But a little-known trade on Advanced Micro could've paid an extraordinary 7,991% in 6 months. Of course, no one can promise you'll see 7,991% gains… but that's one HUGE example of this intriguing way to play semiconductor stocks. So what is this "better way" to play semiconductor stocks?
