    Are you soliciting financial advice?

    I (sadly) don't hold AMD directly, and when it comes to your advice on AMD (100% wrong 100% of the time), I think I'll pass.

      I made two separate purchases. The first above the other a little larger @ 33.

      For the record I'm selling today as the probability of some downside is increasing. 50% gain locked in.

      That's how it's done people, buy low - sell high.

        I don't my money anywhere near Elon.

        What fund?

        The 2nd largest Tesla shareholder after Elon is SMT.L

        SMT is my largest holding and I hold EWI.L as well which means I have a lot of Tesla exposure through Investment Trusts.

        Personally, I’m happy to hold. Exceptional returns and I trust the managers.

          So you don't own any Tesla stock, then?

            If we're going to do this - should we consider the 1-2 hours of study I completed before executing the trade?

              Yes, SMT. I think they are 15% Tesla but slow to move so I was advised to release part of this and diversify.

              I was up 60% or more on this holding so happy to do so.

                The same, I already held some, but bought more when the covid crash happened.

                I’m going to keep holding long term. Coupled with Amazon thats 20% of the SMT portfolio in 2 stocks, but their ability to pick and invest in disrupter unlisted Companies I’m interested in.

                No problem will people selling this stock though, its had an incredible run. Just not my investment strategy.

                    This thread just reads like the early scene in Good Will Hunting where scooty is the jerk with the ponytail who has read a first year trading book and everyone else is Will.
