Just in case someone bought when I announced my buy 16 months ago, I thought it would be good to mention.

reasons:

they already had a great run and know everyone knows about the pwn potential of the C2D

it was becoming a really big part of my total assets

and because I live outside the US, a rate cut this tuesday, even if beneficial for the stock market, would hurt my profit because it weakens the dollar


I won't buy AMD shares with the money. I might get back into Intel but with much less money.

Do you still have the overclocks or did you sold them to ?

[WeightWatchyshow]

How well did you do on the investment.

I'd guess about 60% if he bought in Aug '06.

lol

I almost invested in AMD before the Phenom. Then I read the whitepapers.

the crashing dollar pwned me so you can take 15% off that

Keep an eye on Apple and dump it into them as soon as you see them take a small dive, then sell about half way through Steve's MacWorld keynote. If Apple doesn't have a day where it drops five to ten bucks before MacWorld is about two weeks off, buy anyway.

They could show up and not say a word the whole MacWorld and their stock would still take a bump up on that day. History from like the last two MacWorlds shows that its actually benificial to hold the stock long term even if it sinks a bit in the following weeks but MacWorld is good at least for a quick buy and sell too.

There is a good chance that movie rentals will be announced (which I would think would really drive the stock up) and a super portable ( which is only more good news since they constantly have been growing faster then the market average) and maybe the announcement of the second gen iPhone, maybe not though if they're worried that it will hault sales of the curent gen. I wouldn't be suprised to see high def movies and tv shows (rentals?) show up with access from AppleTV.

I'm holding onto mine for the time being. I think the shares are somewhat overvalued but I don't see any other specific reason to sell. Intel's executing almost perfectly now. If I find something I'd rather own, then I will sell but I'll wait for the new year so that I don't have to pay tax until 2009.

I also would not buy AMD right now. I expect plenty of opportunities to buy cheaper.

[RokeIdeadioke]

if you don't have the dollar risk and you have to pay taxes things look different

Good sell on the Intel. It has bumped up a bit recently, hasn't it. I might dump my RDN stock tomorrow, assuming there's no drop between now and then. RDN has been a real rollercoaster but thankfully I've not been burned yet. Legal gambling, I tell ya.

The only problem I have no, what to invest in next.

Anything in Euro: the Euro is overvalued, that kills a lot of options

US: unsafe currency, a lot of companies might get hit or not by subprime fallout



only the UBS seems interesting because they have been beaten down a good bit, already wrote off 15 bn, are still big and aren't about to go broke

Could be but I'd be very careful about when you buy in. Looking at the stock at the moment it's seems like it's setting up for another good fall in price, timing it wrong could mean a loss.
