snakefist Yeah, I actually wanted to buy them (for 1.89$ if I remember correctly), because they fluctuated ~25-30% anyway. Similarly, before Zen there was a golden opportunity - went up like 3 times in short period. *If* I had enough money for investment like that, I'd be a millionaire now :(

Unfortunately, my stock-value knowledge is about several tech-companies only and nothing else :)

Yes, but still the shares I think are undervalued. I read the "experts" who know "all" the stocks but they literally have zero idea of the tech involved and what AMD does specifically enough to understand why they are making money and are profitable other than that they are essentially. You/me/us etc all knowing the tech or at least a good understanding of a few tech-companies as you put it is certainly enough where we could invest in them watching trends and do far better than those pencil necked doofus dorks working at financial exchanges etc would do. The only reason to spread out your portfolio over a crapload of stocks is to diversify and have less volatility and it all averages out hopefully in the positive no matter what. However, if you picked AMD or just a few stocks you knew personally and invested wisely you could watch the returns skyrocket. Only downside is obviously they could have crashes etc like AMD right up till 2015 and it looked like they were headed for the door if they didn't compete, but they have hence the comeback.I just for the first time went to stocks of Intel/AMD on a timeline yesterday and went back 30 years and Intel has had some pretty big fluctuations at times, in mid 2000's when AMD crushed them with FX-55 etc series and Intel had netburst crap p4's AMD spiked and Intel was down to where AMD is about now, whereas right now Intel is worth around 50 bucks a share but they were at almost 53 and their CEO was caught fucking a coworker and was ousted plus their CPU's now are being challenged so I expect their stock to dip. Unless they come out with serious counter punch to AMD's 32 core and down Threadrippers unless the market buys Intel on name alone they are overvalued in my opinion and will slip further before bottoming out. My prediction anyway, also I do NOT think it's too late or even close to invest in AMD, recent low was around 10 bucks 3 years ago I think and still they are "only" at 16'ish so they have a lot of potential to grow especially where they are back in the black. Earnings come out soon I read and I think that is all investors are concerned about and I can't imagine the earnings aren't good this quarter unless management really screwed up controlling costs/budgets etc.
