AMD stock set to soar after Aug 5?

[Chuz Life]

I have always intended to dip my toe into stock trading, but so far I've never done so.

And here soon, I hope to have a patent for a new digital currency, of all things.

As some say, "Go big or go home!"

Right?

 

[EdwinAMartin]

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?

Who cares? It's about making money. I rolled that same money over again since then. I don't buy and hold stocks that pay no dividends and never will. You play 'what if' with grossly over-priced fantasy stock if you want, but I work my money actively. You can snivel about AMC all day, doesn't mean squat when it comes to making money, some days AMC is a better buy than AMD, which is the point. Tech stocks fall as fast as they rise. At $530 a share now it would have to rise to $860 to match AMC going from $1.56 to $1.74 like it did today. I didn't buy, but that is the market today; AMC was a better buy today than AMD again.

It's called ' the big casino' for a reason. I don't know about 'going big', but it's not hard to beat what CDs pay over a year. I never risk more than 5% of my cash at one time, most of the time a lot less. I buy and hold mostly dividend paying stocks; if their price goes up around 2.5 times their quarterly dividend I sell it off and buy it back later when the price goes down, I make a few small bets here and there on stocks with a high volatility while I'm waiting, as I said using a small percentage of of my money. It get boring watching a graph zig zag up and down all day, though, so some days I don't bother, other days I make nothing, and some days I might only make $100. About 2 or 3 sales out of 6 or 7 I guess right, and occasionally even make a nice little score, enough to keep me playing. I've rarely ended the year with less than I started the year with.

I rarely buy at rock bottom and sell at the very top, usually a narrower range. I the might have to wait several days to just to break even., or I might be sitting on stocks that dropped and never go back up, like my 2,000 shares of Playtika, that at one time was paying around 11% a year dividends on my cost basis, but now pays nothing and is selling 43 cents below my cost basis. Counting 4 dividends and three or four flips over the past year, I can come close to breaking even if I sell off about 500 shares after the 15th of next month and count the loss as a long term loss, otherwise I'll get banged as a wash sale and a disallowed loss assuming the price doesn't go up 43 cents when I sell then on those particualr trades.

Like Warren Buffet said about the markets,' if markets were 'rational' I wouldn't be able to make a nickel'. Be prepared to lose as well as gain, no matter what you read here, and you will lose, which is why 'going big' is not a good idea. Remember Buffet made around 20% a year on his bets.


Warren Buffett on “Rational Markets” and Market Behavior
Warren Buffett has long argued that markets are not always rational — a view rooted in the behavioral finance principles he learned from his mentor, Benjamin Graham. He often uses parables, such as the “oil discovered in hell” story, to illustrate how crowd psychology, speculation, and herd behavior can drive prices far from intrinsic value Barchart.com. In this tale, investors abandon a seemingly safe opportunity for a rumor of hidden riches, showing how fear of missing out (FOMO) and the belief that others know more can override sound analysis.

Buffett’s own track record — nearly 20% annualized returns for Berkshire Hathaway over 60 years The Motley Fool — is built on independent thinking, intrinsic value, and patience, not on chasing short-term trends. He has repeatedly advised that true investing is disciplined capital allocation, not gambling, warning that when “the casino has gotten very attractive” — meaning speculative markets — investors should hold cash The Economic Times.

I don't always follow his advice, but I do tend to hold cash waiting for a score to come up. With volatile stocks like MARA that will show a pattern for days, I'm usually in and out with a couple or 3 hours; other as long as a month, others I hold because the dividends or favorable and paid regularly and the price will never get lower than my current cost basis for them. It all depends on your tolerance for risk; mine is fairly low. I'm waiting for ET to get down to around $18 or less and buy back into that. WES is another one I like to trade in; both are higher than I want to pay for them at the moment.

I'm never going to be the next Larry Williams, but I do okay for a little guy. You can make as much or more money in other stocks as you can screwing around with grossly expensive crap buys like AMD or the other 'AI' fad crap.

You might like letting LArry decide for you for a while, just to get your feet wet. His course isn't bad.

no digital currency has a patent.......not bitcon, litecoin, etherium, etc

it's a computer algorithm, not a product that is unique

Good point.

I was speaking very generally.

It is the system that is being patented. Not the currency itself.

how can you patent a system when each has it's own code? that is like having a patent on US currency

patent is for a new physical idea or an improvement on something existing

Uncle has 6 in Aerospace

Again, my patent isn't so much on the currency; once I have the patent awarded, I might get a trademark for that.

My patent (pending) is for the unique system/ structure for how the currency is "minted" and for how it is collateralized.

Patents almost always start with what the inventor presents as "the problem," and then the inventor presents their solution for the problem.

If the solution is unique and meets a bunch of other criteria, and the USPTO agrees, then the patent may be awarded.

best of luck, really, this is serious if you can convince the office you have something unique

I am happy for you, I mean that would be really cool

not to be a downer but just an idea cannot just be patented, you need proof on paper, diagrams, blueprints, etc

My patent attorneys worked with me on all of that before filing. Not cheap.

The person that helped with the diagrams used to work for the USPTO himself. He has also contributed to several patents for IBM.

When he told me it was worth patenting, it encouraged me quite a bit.

If your comparing the market to the casino I’ll ask are you anti capitalist? Most folks who have a retirement fund/401k are invested into index funds like the S&P 500.

Interesting that you are pumping up what for some time been a meme stock in AMC over an established powerhouse like AMD.

wow........what a winner! LOL they LOSE money

So what? Their stock price goes up and down, moron. I buy and sell to make money, not try to impress strangers on the innernetz with buying hyper-inflated meme stocks.

Apparently you've never filled out a tax return, and you think shirt term gains are taxed at 100% or something, another reason I think you don't know anything about markets. You can't do basic math.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

As for Warren buffet he has been on record calling for folks to have 90% of their cash into the S&P 500 index fund. That returns more than 5% a year.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

You are anti capitalist? Most folks who have a retirement fund/401k anre invested into index funds like the S&P 500.

I'm not pumping up anything, dumbass; and like I said, I made twice as much on the AMC as I would have putting the money in AMD over the same time frame, idiot. I realize many of you are retarded and try to make some here believe you're big players n stuff, when clearly you're not.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

moron.

Ah one of those posters. I haven’t seen the poster You are talking with provide any personal attacks.

I’ve seen enough of your posts.

Ah, now go with the strawmen, like a good lil moron. 'An 'established powerhouse' that hasn't paid a dividend since 1995 .... lol, and now we're supposed to believe you've been sitting on AMD since 1980 or something, eh?

It's just one of many things I never took the time to learn about but maybe should have.

It's a lot of guessing and time involved; many days you would make more money working a real job, other days you get the occasional big score, but not often. I'm retired, so I have the time to sit and watch the graphs all day, and make several trades.

You can get a free account at the Schwab brokerage and see for yourself what is going on daily from market open to market close, and that way it would make more sense.
