Investing $1k in AMD

about a little over a year ago, the case was the exact opposite, AMD had many consecutive quarters of huge losses and literally only had 6 months of cash left in the bank. now that the chips have hit a brick wall in Ghz speed, both makers are moving towards dual-core which favors intel due to economies of scale

but opteron still has a huge lead on whatever 32/64 hybrid intel comes up with

Hey MAME
Curious if you hit the big 203 yet????

I'm really sorry that your family got burned by the market. You seem to be implying that your broker pulled something shady, if that is so, it might be worthwhile to contact a lawyer. If instead you were burned by Enron et al, the I hope that you can take comfort that those suckers are gonna hang.

Otherwise, I think that your opinions are a little reactionary. The fact that some people manipulate their knowledge of the stock market in order to rip off those that don't have it does not mean that the market itself is bad

If you lend money to a bank, you are paid for that service in the form of interest. In the stock market, you are paid more than just the interest rate because you assume more risk. You are being paid extra for the fact that you may lose. It's like playing the tables at Vegas, but the difference being you have a greater chance to win money than to lose it. Thing is, just like some people can win money at the tables in Vegas, some people lose money on the markets.

Educating yourself is the best way to prevent both losing money and getting ripped off. As in all things in life.

you haen't lost enough to realize its a scam, keep playing the game, one day you be a millionaire, no make that a billionaire. /sarcasm.
If you are not a stock broker, your chance of winning... .0000000000001 percentage.
You're too money crazed, too desperate to make easy buck = lose all in then end. I'm dead serious, very few of them investor manage to make a little profit and think damn this is good! and goes around spamming the board tricking everyone to invest into their scam, so the stock will rise then quickly sell for $$$. What you have is people getting ripped off everyday, if you call this business. I call this stealing from right under our noses and ain't no one gonna can do a damn thing about it unless no one invest in this bs. whatcha call this type of spam? speculation of making 200 percent and up to 1000 percent returns(pure profit LMAO)? these evil brokers will fall to pieces like a ton of brick on itself if no one invest in their crap. so you admit that this is gambling? and is infact illegal but because it's good for business, it's legal?

Losers often make the biggest noise. WAAAAAH WAAAAH......

I think it all boils down to this graph.

When times are good, AMD hits a ceiling at about $16. Yes there are a few spikes above it, but as often is the case you miss the spike when selling. Thus if times are really good, your money will gain (16-12)/12 = 33% minus broker fees. You may net a hundred or two if times are good.

Likewise when times are bad, AMD hovers around $6 (there was even that spike under $4 someone above mentioned but had the time frame way off). Thus if things go bad, you'll lose 50% of your money and broker fees. Thus if you lose, you'll lose big and if you win you'll win small (not a gamble I like to take).

At the moment, I don't see things going much higher for AMD.

Intel feels like a better investment. AMD has great engineering behind them, but their management strikes me as incompetent. There's a reason Intel has its market share, and its products are only a small part of that reason. Intel has been making smart business decisions for years, making Pentium an almost household name and conflating clock speed with performance, and growing consistently. AMD manages to put out great products and then shoot itself in the foot. I think this is why AMD's share price is so volotile.

Then you and your family are retards for not doing your homework and trusting thousands of dollars to someone you dont know. If someone is telling you you are going to get 1000% ROI, run away as fast as you can.

But I guess you already figured that out the hard way already, huh.

As far as AMD goes, its been dropping like a rock since about 2 months ago. I just threw a bit into it, but who knows where itll go.

Right now my biggest stock is nvidia, which absolutely plunged even worse than AMD around the same time. Bought it when it was a week ago 9, its up to about 12 now. Then again, I'm not touching it for years, but its fun to watch.

amd rules!! intel sucks!!!!

Don't hav emoney to burn like you do. who cares how much it drops? I dont invest anything like a moron hoping to hit it big and then brag about it. What really ticks me off is how people like you are are really brokers talking crap to average people who has no clue about this scam going around 24hrs/day, brainwashing them, promising a great return. I work for god, I work for nobody! because no one, no matter how good, how trusting you think they are, just a bunch of scums waiting to trick someone and pull their their hard earned $ right from under their belly. The market must crash, and I'll be the first human ever to pull this stunt! The evil market must be destroyed so that no one has to suffer this loss and commit suicide!

Dayum, what drugs are you on, and where do I get some?

 

[astroview]

At this point Robcur is just being annoying b/c that seems to be his schtick. He can't be serious, it too over the top.

Anyways, 1k in AMD seems a bit risky and not very diversified. Just my 2 cents worth.

 

[TimidOCer]

Any links I can learn investing? I wouldnt mind messing around with penny stock stuff with only about a grand. I can afford to lose it and the potential is there to gain. Robcur it sounds like you have had a few too many hits of something.

 

[NesuD]

Actually the best time to buy was last summer when the stock was down in the 7 dollar range. Thats what i did and when it hit 15 i sold half of it so its all profit for me now.

Sorry to quote myself, but I wanted to point out that times have changed in the last week and a half. With AMD at 10.77 at the moment, it is looking like a much better buy. I'd still wait myself before jumping in, but at 10.77 it is so much better than 12 it was when I last posted.

I've made about 20% on it since then, and I am going to hold it for a while. I like AMD, and I think they have room to grow, and great technology. But PE is 52, so it's already overvalued, IMO. Even if profits grow, they'll only be catching up to valuations. So there is a good upside in earnings, but think it's already priced into the stock. Also, you cannot assume that Intel will just sit on their behind and keep making strategic errors that they've been making last few years. That's just my opinion.

When the stocks drop, I don't start crying, I start buying.

They said it may even drop a bit more by Monday due to Intel's earnings being off. We shall see.

 

[OMG1Penguin]

IXC, EBAY and TXU are all looking good.

IXC is a global energy index.
EBAY is an online auction website (OMGWTFBBQ)
TXU is a texas energy company that is expanding.
ISSC is a manufacturer for displays for the military (mainly navy LCDs)

I own ebay and txu, I have been looking at ixc for about a month. I bought ISSC at $16 and sold at $20 a couple months ago, although it is damn near at $28 now. Looks still very steady.

Don't be a fanboy when it comes to investing.

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Jim Cramer mentioned TXU on his show some time ago. I like the looks of them.
