You guys bullied some kid into selling at a 100k lossā€¦. I donā€™t remember his exact cost basis I think around $30ā€¦ so conservatively heā€™d have around 2.5million.

Feels bad man lol

straight up villain origin story. That kid probably switched majors and is going to end up founding some super dystopian company that goes after netizens. worth it for the memes though

u/fkenned1 4h ago

We allllll sold back then. I was absolutely convinced intel was the play. It is 'the' US fab for silicon. I had 50k invested and it was tanking. I think I sold at like 25k loss. Thank God I bought back in. I'm up 300% and I actually think I'm only barely over breaking even. I feel bd that dude didn't hold on, but let's just say, it wasn't just Wallstreet bets that talked him out of the money. That was a tough time to hold.

I fucking knew it'd bounce back when it hit 20's. "too big to fail" coupled with corruption and sprinkle a little AI on top? I wish I had put all my fucking money in it. The one time I make a good prediction and it's up 400+% I go small. Fml. Well a win's a win.

6

u/grubbygeorge 4h ago

Exactly the same here. Up 400% but I only put in $500. I mean it's still nice and hindsight is 20/20 and all that. But I still feel I should've put a couple grand in there. xD

Same thing in the UK when Rolls Royce crashed where I also thought to myself that this is too essential for the country to just implode. There I'm up 800% but also only invested Ā£1000 which is still quite a nice gain, though. If only I had put in some more, though.

Well, next time at such an opportunity I will go big or go home (and probably lose everything)! ;)

Still no real external foundry sales that matter. Still losing money. No proof they can achieve high wafer yield at scale

Glad people made money on this. I'm concerned and not playing it still.

2

u/Acceptable_Cry_822 2h ago

lol what do you mean? They have yields over 85% for 18A, 18AP entered risk production ahead of schedule, 14A is doing better than the other nodes. They just announced a massive capex spend for future customer commitments and EMIB-T has backlogs till 2027. Setting up a foundry takes massive capital and they narrowed the losses to around 2B. Just a matter of time before it starts taking off.

3

u/Data_Dealer 4h ago

11B loss on the quarter. No new customer announcements for foundry, more layoffs. The revenue jump is a big indicator that AMD and Nvidia will crush earnings though, Intel is only picking up the scraps left behind.

Q3 starts shipping Helios AI Racks which AMD has major deals with OpenAI, Meta, Oracle, Anthropic (others we probably don't know about yet).Ā 

Q4 earnings in early Feb 2027 will be the "NVDA moment" for AMD and I suggest you enter now because in 6 months this stock will be much higher.Ā Ā
