I made $2,200 ending my swing trade on AMD yesterday. And 681 today. Anything above 100 I'm scalping. I'm not doing trade simulations on this. I'm doing my real account on AMD. I believe in the company so much that if I get stuck long, I was going to be long anyway.

I'm out of my swing trade of AMD, been in from 70 to 97 (left three times). 3% of my portfolio is still AMD. I don't trade during Fed meetings, I've seen that movie before. It's a horror movie.

No. I have sold about 125 shares above 97, still have 250. When the trade is over, I'll still hold my core position of 17 shares. When I saw the upgrades kept rolling in, I stayed. Will be interesting to see if it takes out its all time high or gets rejected back into the 80s.

I need to free up some money to trade with anyway. I love BABA as a company, just not the geopolitical crap around it.

I can't do it any more. They should never have let DIDI go public. Then they immediately shut it down, killing the stock. Its just too much. If its not the Chinese government going back to its Communist roots, its the SEC cracking down.

5 upgrades to AMD today, almost up 5%

I wish I had a time machine so I could have bought more google. Up about $1,000 (57%) since I bought one share. I bought one share just to have a rounded portfolio.

And in come the upgrades

The stock has been running up because it cleared hurdles on the Xilinx deal. Stock tanked after it announced it. It was trading at almost $100 a share before. I don't believe its fairly priced, but so far the market disagrees.

I can't continue to have 30k sitting in it. Looks like they are waiting for the Xilinx deal to close.

And that's not good price action for a beat. I have 30k in AMD. I thought about selling at 94 today, but thought it could break 100. And now this.

Market Rebellion keeps calling me to sell me one of their programs. Worth it?

Went in and gave everyone a 6% raise today. That's expensive. But with all of the stimulus funds, workers are short. Everyone is trying to steal other's workers. All I can do is remind them that not one of them got laid off with covid last year. The companies back then weren't hiring...

I was holding BABA last Summer and bought every dip LOL. Every last fucking dip! I can remember when I bought at 319 thinking the shares were a steal. From 319 to 220 I was buying. BABA has something up their sleeves, which is why they are releasing earnings two weeks early. The question...

Now the SEC is going after the Chinese stocks. They have to disclose the risks of doing business under Chinese rule. Except you can't talk bad about the Chinese government at all! Ask Jack Ma. Like the CNBC article I posted yesterday said, the Chinese tech companies are being used by both...

An easy day to be short...$1,500 in simulated trades in 45 minutes. I shorted TSLA after earnings yesterday, and the rest were trades today. No losing trades. I stay on simulated trades because I'm a frontrunner. I know how to win, but can't lose $50 on a trade without doing dumb shit.

I'll go with Tom Lee, he's almost always right.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/26/tom-lee-says-its-not-too-late-to-buy-market-near-record-highs-but-avoid-these-sectors.html He says don't buy staples or utilities. Believes we will be in rally mode. Has a stellar track record.

Last year these were easy money. I bought a bunch when I was thinking there would be election turmoil and they doubled immediately. Unfortunately, all this stuff China's been doing has sunk them this year, and no end in sight. They've managed to make investors not care about fundamentals...

I subscribe to his actionalerts over the last year, and his picks have done me well. Of course, I don't buy everything he says. I do my own DD. No one can suss out what China is doing. Probably be better off shorting KWEB than going long on these.

Chinese stocks still getting shit on.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/26/dr-scott-gottlieb-says-us-delta-driven-covid-spike-could-peak-in-3-weeks-following-uk-pattern.html

And we get one more hot number from CPI and its gonna be another selloff.

Last year China was easy money...this year I'm tired. In BABA, JD, BILI, PDD, Tencent and VIP. I feel like China is trying to discourage American investing at this point. Queen Cathie says to sell, no one wants to deal with the Chinese government. They literally said violators of the new...

Still trying to get in rhythm with Tesla. Not a bad trade today, $513 simulated profit in a little over an hour.

If we hear about the Xilinx deal it will be ch-ching.

Been in AMD since 70s, sold at 93, and am back in again. On Tesla, I've been on it in the last week and a half, and I think the trick for me is to do an OCO bracket order with .02% upside and 1% downside. And I have to be especially careful around resistance and support on this stock. Never...

This is where I'm at right now. My energies are more focused towards trading. The business, I get involved when I need to. My wife handles it, along with my Manager and two Crew Leaders. 14 years of ownership, I'm trying to branch out and do different things. 14 years is longer than I've...

In a nutshell, I do the same with OCO bracket orders. I limit my profits and downsides. I traded Zoom for months, and got to the point where 71 of 78 trades were good. I've swapped to Tesla, because Zoom volume has dropped. Right now, I switched to simulated trading on Tesla, because it...

I've been doing this full time since February, and I'm trying to stop being a Revenge Trader.

I run technicals and backtest. But I ignore the fucking signals when they go south and yell, "THIS STOCK OWES ME MONEY!". You have to know when to cut your losses. I'm getting better, but I have stops on my trades based on volatility that I delete. Not good. I know how to win. I'm a great...

Cool, Tmac. That helps. I try to help people, but usually that's on my Facebook now. Is there a thread for you? Not much has changed. - Business is almost completely free and clear of debt, and I pay very little rent ($400). So with the debt reduction, its added roughly 3k a week...

Glad you are doing well, and you've definitely refined your approach, I see.

Wow, I haven't been on here in years. Business is debtless except one piece of equipment, and that's nice. Hard to expand because I have high standards, have won the Best Of category in my town consecutive years. I don't do forums or social media anymore. When I joined FOH in 2005 I was 34...

Some of you guys haven't ever posted a video of yourself training, because you know you can't hang. You might consider getting off your fat asses and getting some work in. You aren't hitting your goals sitting at your PC eating bon-bons, you hip-having motherfuckers. Like CT Fletcher says...

You are comparing my lifts to someone considered to be pound-for-pound the strongest man alive in the world. Not a fair comparison. Powerlifters train for raw power, and want to be as efficient as possible. I trained in a powerlifting gym, and those guys never hit more than four reps. There...

Go back and read this thread. I was very clear, my trainer believes I will be at 10% in the 220's. When I was 247, he told me I'd need to drop 40 pounds for a competition. My tests are fine. When I was 273, my BP was 140/90ish, but at 244, last time i checked it was 126/73. My blood...

I never said that. My trainer thinks that somewhere in the 220's would put me at 10%. We'll see. Unfortunately, at the glacial pace he allows me to drop weight, it may be January. If I drop one pound a week, he says good job. If I drop over two pounds, It's not good in his opinion. I know I...

Thanks. But what anyone says about me is irrelevant to the work I'm putting in, or where I'm going.

Don't be afraid to get fat. So fucking what. You can burn it later. I look at videos of me playing video games with the kids, and my muscles look super swollen. My thighs looked like tree trunks. When I start eating carbs again, they'll fill up with glycogen. My last bulk, I managed to hit...
