AMD stock set to soar after Aug 5?

PROFIT, AMC, just another tv channel and the dying theaters

Or you can invest in tech and ai right now with companies making 15+ billion EACH quarter and rising

That is why sandisk is almost 1K and AMC is less than 2 bucks like a penny stock

the memory cycle has changed if you know anything about computers

memory for servers has a 4-5 year replace regardless, constant reads and writes, it wears down like an old engine

After 5 years or less, faster memory, larger, takes less power..........it's replaced

That why micron for the next 4+ years is in a feeding frenzy

Samsung just posted their earning and they were off the chart
Hynix....off the chart

Nobody can keep up with demand...........period

They don't have the raw materials, workforce or facility to do so right now

You can't just order up high purity silicon like it's a pizza hut pizza, bit more tricky than that
supply and demand

Imagine in this case, your local pizza hut cannot get one ingredient

The chemically processed dough
the tomato favored corn syrup
the 50% real cheese, the rest is oil
the mystery meat toppings

They would shut down until they could

only thing real might be their green pepper's, onions and mushrooms.....maybe

That's what I ate until I moved to NY and had pizza from a neighborhood mom and pop Italian pizzeria. WOWZA

I talked about the stock yesterday as well before the market opened when it was around 249 $ a share I believe.

This is the equity that I believe should be the most successful in my portfolio. Some are saying it could reach as high as $1000-$1500 per share by 2030.

Take note Luckyone

And the year ain’t over yet .

And the year ain’t over yet .

/-----/ Up $40 this am. I had 300 shares and held them for almost a year underwater, sold some covered calls, and when I broke even last week, I sold. I'd be up $12,000 this morning.

AMD now trading around $416 per share. The next Nvidia?

One of the best companies right now,

Charts suggest the probabilities favor a correction starting after the earnings report comes out. Downside objective being the $153 level or perhaps as low as $141.

Almost every single stock that reported better than expected earnings this week (AAPL, AMZN, META and a few others) reported better than expected earnings but sold off immediately after the earnings report came out. META reported "blockbuster" earnings and rallied 13% right after the report but closed on Friday just 1% higher than the previous all-time high daily close made just 4 weeks ago and gave up 6% of the 13% rally that occurred right after the report came out.

The market is overbought and started a correction this week in spite of all the good news that came out. I expect AMD to do the same.

One thing to look at this week after the August 5th earnings report. There is strong "daily close" resistance at 183.93. If the bulls do not break it, the probabilities of a drop down to one of the two levels mentioned above, will likely occur.

One thing that is most important to me is protecting my capital. I do not take risks where I could lose more than I am looking to make. This is the case here with AMD if you buy it at this price this week.

Are you still posting your stock buys?

It might not be too late for you as folks are still saying we are in the early earnings of the AI semiconductor boom

Did you buy AMD last summer when you made this^ post?

History doesn’t show that. Worst year we have had recently was under Joe Biden in 2022 when the S&P 500 lost about 19%.

Yes, 2022 was horrible. Set me back a couple of years.

Well August 5 is a big day for AMD as they release their earning report. Some in the industry are expecting the stock to sore after what will hopefully be a positive Aug 5 report. It’s already up notably in the past few days with regards to anticipation of that report. Folks are saying this could be the next Nvidia.



I’m in on AMD…. I purchased shares for about $104 a share a few months ago and recently got more shares at about $167 A share.

Buy on expectations/rumor.....
Sell on facts

Actually do this before both.

You can ride it up on the expectations....then completely reverse position on facts....shorting it after release

But....
Be careful....insane overproduction of earnings can lead to an increased price....for a few days. So you can end up with a naked short until the price tanks again on less expectations for the next quarter.

No, just the opposite. I shorted AMD on August 13th at 184.42 and covered the short on September 25th at 161.47. I made a 12.5% profit in just 6 weeks.

And what did the cost of the money borrowing cost you?

You can't naked short without paying interest on the borrowed money.

I don't really know what they charge at the brokerage firm. I am a trader and go long and short many times during the year. I don't check on that. I look at my bottom line at the end of the year to see if I have more or less than the previous year. To me, it is all about making more than I lose and that includes whatever interest rates they charge for going short.

/----/ Not knowing all of your costs until the end of the year is a recipe for disaster and irresponsible.

I ended up selling AMD around $495 a share. The best profit I’ve ever had on a stock and I’ve been investing for about three years. Was about a 3x + return. I have always said I am not an expert on stocks. I don’t get into options or puts or shorts. Simply buying and selling.

Back in November my portfolio lost a lot of capital. I have since recovered all of that with the recent AI centered boom after march 30. AMD was a large percentage of my portfolio, and I still believe in the company and in the AI / semiconductor area. I have kept my positions in navatis semiconductor, intel, super micro computer. I also put in a stop by for AMD at $520 just in case it experiences more growth this year.

Experts are saying the stock can get up to $2000 per share. But it might take until 2029 to reach $1000 per share.

AMD was doubted by many but over the past 1 year has been one of the best performing stocks on the market. My idea is that there might be a correction after it achieved the $500 mark. It is in blue sky territory now. So if it dips down to say 450 or less, I could buy back in and retain more shares than I previously had. If not, I will have my stop buy at 520 and it’s all good. I like the company long term

Option trading is helpful for the charts they provide..
(In my experience).
It will tell you more about where a stock is heading short term than anything the rags recommend.

But to actively trade like that....
Too much like work. Lots of reading and looking at associated industries and of course the GDP of various commodity/product nations so you can watch the Forex over how its going to really break down.

Then of course there's the sentiment metrics...

A company can post insane profits and be experiencing explosive growth and yet their stock keeps a P/E ratio of a value stock or worse. Because it's always truly about sentiment moreso than anything else.
Prime example is Budweiser. And their bad marketing choices didn't help sentiment even though they have over 200 different retail brand labels of products in 30+ countries. Budweiser beer is just one label.

Sentiment kept the stock in the dirt just because nobody liked them. The CEO was wholly to blame for signing off on it and lost his job over it all. (Yes, you can lose your job for being an idiot). I don't feel bad for him.....golden parachute and all that.

But....stock never performed even though the company is performing well.

Can’t keep AMD down

I sold at 495 … and I decided to buy it back in to a double leverage AMD fund when it was around $510 per share today. That leverage fund is already up about 5%. This alleviated a lot of stress as my AMD shares represented a large amount of my net worth. So no matter what I’m well ahead on AMD. And I’m still exposed to it through a double leverage ETF fund.

Yep, but I bought 5,000 shares at $1.01 pocket change, and sold it at $1.57, and it kept rising up to $1.87, so it was a much better deal than the AMD during the same time frame for the money.

Even crappy stocks can pay off; look at MARA's volatility over the last 2-3 months. Bought a new lawn mower with part of that crappy stock's gains. When you're paying hundreds for a stock, you're at a bigger risk of losing a lot as well; they tend to tank pretty dramatically over mere rumors.

Since AMD pays no dividends, it's just a lottery ticket nobody but directors who want the votes hold long term, it's purely for gambling purposes, not 'investing'. It would have earn at least $40/ share to justify a $530 price, and it will never get close to that, maybe in the $12-$14 range if it gets extremely lucky. Me personally I don't feel like that sort of crazy risk.

what? AMD 52 week range is 108 to 527, you made 50 cents per share, not 5x and AMD with AI will continue to grow, price target is around 625

 

[EdwinAMartin]

what? AMD 52 week range is 108 to 527, you made 50 cents per share, not 5x and AMD with AI will continue to grow, price target is around 625

So what? I bought it a few weeks ago, not 52 weeks ago, when it was bouncing around between $1.01 and $.99. Mar. 6 AMC was around $1; April 13 it hit $1.97. AMD was selling around $193 Mar. 6, it hit around 238 April 13. Do the math. I made over twice what the AMD would have paid on the same money in AMD stock.

And AMD will fall a lot further faster than AMC, trading hears it's low range. Those stocks are way over-priced, and they will never pay a dividend, so the only point to buying them is to sell to another fool at a higher price. AI is just another sucker bubble, and it's already stalling out. A few more run ups and it's toast by Nov. The Feds will end up bailing most of them out, as always.

AMC has a cable TV show and run movie theaters, right now movies suck, cost too much
it's not a big money maker
AMD is worth 850B and they make 37B a year......

who do you think is worth more now and the future?

entertainment or products everybody wants badly now?
