$45 by EOY. Puts are green. Still holding for more gains. Short intel, it's basically free money. Put premiums are minuscule and we all know where this story ends (at least regarding stock price).

Conversely, AMD hit $17. I would have bet over 9000 internets that would not have happened in 2018.
Im still afraid to buy AMD though. It seems as though when I finally get on something it starts a downtrend, ex: MU @ $61 sold at $49.

Where do you guys see AMD headed? I don't follow the PC market anymore and only bought AMD at $10.18 right before the earnings because you guys were talking about how undervalued it was and all the great products in the pipeline. I sold 50% after earnings after $1 pop to lock in some profits and been riding the remaining 50% up. What's reasonable target to exit? $20? Or are you guys thinking even higher?
Safe and liquid narrows the options quite a bit. Stable value funds, guaranteed investment contracts, money market funds, and certificates of deposits are your better choices (US treasuries could be put in there too). That bond fund that you suggested lost more than 4% in the last year, as bonds are only somewhat stable.I need something where I can place some funds that I won't need for a year but, may be needed on short (30 day) notice anytime after that.
The funds are in AmeriTrade. I would need any returns (i.e. dividends or interest) plus the sale to be equal to (or better) than the fund starting amount.
Sale amount + dividends or interest = starting amount - trade cost.
Not looking to make a lot just need to break even any gains over deposit rate a bonus.
I have been looking at TLT. Would this be a safe choice?
Anybody look at TRXC since I mentioned it? Still holding and it has done just fine so far. Nice little lotto ticket so far.
I did get in the lotto ticket when you first mention it. First stock I own that IR is actively involved in answering questions and educate about their product.
Good luck to us and thank you for the recommendation.
I'm sure glad I have 700 shares with a cost basis of $3.26.NFLX topples $400
Let the drum roll begin. Did FIVR's confident prediction come true? What happens when we "watch an' learn" his techniques?
Actual result 6 months later:
AMD is currently at $11.03 (up 2.0% from ~$10.81 his posting price, but far from his $20 prediction). Even if we give FIVR the maximum closing price in any of those 6 months, it was $13.74.
INTC is currently at $52.67 (up 13.2% from ~$46.54 his posting price, and far from his $30s prediction). Even if we give FIVR the minimum closing price in any of those 6 months, it was $42.50.
I read the story about the Intel CEO talking about the 15-20% server market. That's pretty big. We shall see.I was planning to sell at $10 (I bought almost exactly 2 years ago). Then $12. Then $15. ....I'm waiting for at least $20.
Also, I'm an idiot. Don't listen to me.
but here's the deal: I was expecting them to grab back about 5% of the server/data market, which really would be a huge deal for them. Intel CEO is currently signalling that he's worried about them grabbing 15-20%. That's nuts. It really is. It's probably a late 2019 thing, though, if it can happen.
