Should I sell my AMD stocks?

[Kul Tiras]

I'll wait till Computex and see what I can see.

If I bail out I'm going with Activision: Call of Duty WW2 (only AAA WW2 game out since forever), Destiny 2 (first AAA MMO for Scorpio), Blizzard revenues, new WoW expansion...don't see how that can go south by Q4 earnings next year. They already jumped 40-55$ without really launching any game this year aside Hearthstone expansion.

What are you going to target around Blizzcon? Something will probably get announced, but who knows could also be bad news. I think im going to track Activision for funsies.

Blizzcon will be a new WoW expansion announcement, new HS announcement, something Overwatch related though might just be e-sports related and maybe, at best, an unexpected project like a new Diablo RPG or something. Maybe also talks about WC movie sequel. Announcements of skins, real life products and other micro transactions will also be made, seeing as they made tons of money off of this as reported in the last report.

Based on absolutely no fucking evidence other than my prophetical expectations based on their product pipeline, I expect at least 70$/share by Q4 earnings call next year. At best, I'd say it'll jump to 80ish, and jump rapidly after the announcement like Nvidia did this year from 102 to 138 now.

I think Activision-Blizzard is riding the same hype train as AMD/Nvidia were riding a year ago, except unlike AMD and more like Nvidia, they have solid products down the pipeline which everyone expects to sell based on historical figures alone, not just on hype like Ryzen was. Fortunately, Ryzen turned out to be good, but if it didn't, it might have crushed AMD.

All I need from AMD right now is some outrageous "leaked" benchmark showcasing Witcher 3 running at 100 FPS @4k or something, and I'll make back my initial investment and then some.

We should make a stock-discussing forums, I'd like to discuss with other investors here honestly.

i'm sure there are other such forums to discuss this.

AMD was a good pick up before the Zen news and release came about. Zen was big news for them, a high chance at a return to form, which it has worked out for them. But historically AMD isn't the best investment, they ride highs and lows like a roller coaster. With the drop of Zen and their continued success in regaining server and home marketshare, I would expect their stock price to remain or go up slightly.
I wouldn't count on anything GPU related to give them any kind of boost. ATI has never been better than Nvidia, ATI continues to have the same driver issues that have always plagued them, and ATI hasn't added value to AMD CPUs. The only exception is AMDs integrated CPUs, but those are based on crap CPU architecture so they've not been picked up as much as they really deserve. That might change if they push the zen architecture into the same lower tier realm as that the integrated cpus occupy.
But that segment will never push AMD stock prices. Server, business, are the real money makers, enthusiast it what gets those 2 buzzing. Even the announcement that PS4 and XBone running complete AMD hardware hardly moved their stock.

That would be cool. Although, my investment strats are pretty safe and boring. Lol. But I wouldnt mind reading about how others invest.

That's mostly what I am looking for, others investors insights. I recently sold some stocks because I a little concerned of a possible Trump impeachment (it's try not too get too political) so I have some equity to invest, something safe like a mutual fund would be good, but I have had some luck this year investing.

STRP I bought when it was $17/share, and sold it at $32, sadly though, they were sold to ATT and their stock went up above $230/share at one point.

Someone suggested a Megathread, that's a solid idea?

[Roxinius]

why do people come here for stuff like this its like the ones who ask for medical advice or romance advice this is not even close to the place for that

[Amalaric]

I missed the chance of making big cash by buying AMD at 2$ last year before it got to 15$ this year, and ended up buying 20k$ worth at around 14$.

I'm looking at vega and I don't have much hope for it shattering Nvidia or anything, but on the CPU side, Ryzen is kicking ass, their server CPUs are probably gonna kick ass and their APUs will dominate since Intel has no comeback in sight, and there's no one besides Intel who could have one at this point in time.
So I'm pretty sure AMD will make good money from their CPU business, and Vega won't be horrible either for sure, at least it will be competitive from a cost perspective.

But I'm kinda scared AMD will never go above 14-15$ again just because investors don't follow products, only sell figures, and I'll end up selling my stocks with a few thousand dollars loss more than if I dumped it now and just bought a much more secure stock like Activision who owns like 4-5 of the biggest gaming franchises in the industry and which jumped almost 50% from last year. And with Destiny 2, Call of Duty WW2 and Blizzard's revenues, it's bound to only keep rising in 2018.

You goofed when you bought a stock at it's peak.

1. I don't see what's the problem with having a stock trading megathread or sub-forum. Video game players are likely to be some of the most aware technology users, so as far as tech stocks go, a lot of people who are interested in both games and tech stocks will only generate more traffic on this website.
Moreover, there's daily threads here about "trending" news such as kids getting eaten by sea lions, what Trump does and god knows what else, I don't see how stocks discussions are so outrageously improper.

2. AMD is up after hours after going down the entire day, and even more so despite additional rumors that Vega gaming edition may be late even more than expected. So fuck yeah to all of us with stocks up in this bitch. 135$/share two years from now here we come .

took nvda about 5 years to get to that level. Wonder if AMD can do the same.

Blind optimism rant incoming:

-> AMD will dominate the APU sales until Intel or someone can launch a competitor, or unless discrete CPU/GPU variants from Nvidia becomes so power and cost efficient that they represent a serious threat to AMD APUs, or unless AMD APUs suck.

-> Ryzen is selling, Threadripper and Naples/Epyc is gonna sell. Major OEMs are on board with AMD officially now. Asus too, reveal at Computex about gaming grade AMD powered laptop.

-> AMD professional grade GPUs have always been cheaper and more performant even at cheaper prices than Nvidia equivalents, except in some cases. So if priced right, professional grade Vega will sell.

Exceptionally high blind optimism rant sub-section:

-> Hynix will get their shit together and start producing HBM2 on schedule and AMD Vega gaming edition will match or even outperform GF 1080ti for cheaper prices.

Believe with me! Elsewise I will lose hope, start investing in penny stocks and probably end up homeless lol. That 200% performance hope lol. Damn do penny stocks look amazing, buying at 12cents and selling at 50c.

Stock market is so exciting lol, I used to spend half my day doing daily quests across 3 mmos, now I spend half my day reading stock articles and looking up stocks and news related to them. Ahhhm, the promise of the golden goose.

I'm in a few penny stocks.

cytr, in at .40 out at .54.

Only other penny stock i'm in with now is PTN, which honestly seems like such an amazing investment at this time.

I was in at 80 and averaged down to 47 when they went as low as 29. They then over the course of a month shot up 50% however when the earnings report came they have gone down but not into the mid or low 30s it's hovering around low 40s and high 39s. The reason they went down was because the EPS was -4 when analyst expected +10 and realistically if they recorded all revenue it would have been like 28c an amazing beat sending the stock up.

however... palatin chose to record the upfront 60m cash payment for their flagship drug as contract revenue of which they only recorded 10m leading to a loss. I don't know whaty so many people panic sold because of the negative EPS but the way I look at it... they got 60m we all know this, now they're breaking up how it is being recorded allowing them to post a loss and avoid paying some 20m in taxes, if anything that's a great thing for investors at least, but I guess everyone doesn't look at it this way.

The company makes a womens libido drug that can be taken like viagra (only when needed) doesn't interact with alcohol. The only other drug for hyposexual women is addyi which must be taken daily and you can't drink.. Next catalyst will be NDA filing in 2018 q1. Then you have their heart medication pl3994 (as its called for now) is so far a great drug for heart failure that has been shown to be safe and effective. Wouldn't expect too much about that drug until 2019-2020 and fda approval and rollout of brem 2019.

What boggles me more is that this company has a valuation of about 55m, 60m in cash however, and a deal worth 495m which is ONLY for north america they're still free to license in Europe which can make brem worth several billion of which they'll get a percentage. The heart medication is what I am really looking forward too,heart disease is the number 1 killer.

[Alvito]

If you are coming to mmo champs for stock advice you shouldn't have any.

[lockedout]

Why would you buy at $14? That's like the opposite of what you're supposed to do.

[Deleted]

why do people come here for stuff like this its like the ones who ask for medical advice or romance advice this is not even close to the place for that

More to the point why do people not want other people discussing it when there are other people around to discuss the topic.

Damn you're getting me so excited about it now lol. I'm looking at Blackberry too their stock is up like 50% since February. You think this PTN thing is really gonna blow up?

[Zandalariprelate]

Sell me, I would buy at least two

[Kul Tiras]

Themius, check out puma biotechnology, up 39% today, breast cancer drug approval or something.

Ferroglobe too, not as much but up 10% one day.

ptn will eventually. There are some risks and issues of course. If they don't get approved that could be a huge issue; however, already through phase 3 and everything looks good and with trump easing up on the fda it looks very good. There is also a dilution issue and a lot of warrants out; however, these are temporary issues. I think it will blow up; however, not now, not even soon, not for at least nother 9 months or so for the next catalyst, and then the next catalyst after that is due 2nd qt of 2018 for pl3994 phase 2.

They are actively in talks with people in Europe for a European deal on the drug also.

Main thing with this stock I have learned. If you are worried about unrealized losses it's a terrible stock. If you're looking for a short term hold anything less than about a year, it's a terrible stock. At one point I lost 5% daily for over a month, it was doing really shitty. This was after they announced all good news also, beating eps and striking a deal.

Institutional ownership has been going on lately so ptn is finally starting to get some attention, I think the issue with this company is that it's not very well known.

[Kul Tiras]

Yeah that's what I'm looking for nowadays after getting initially excited about AMD. Looking for small companies that no one pays attention to but with potential to get big. See a lot of this in pharmaceutical and tech companies. Gonna research cyber-security stocks seeing as it's all the news these days.

Check in with these guys Wednesday morning Themius: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...300041954.html . Might be good news. They completed 22 mil financing back in feb.
