Definitely not writing it off, but I heard about QD four days ago and thought I'd be a millionaire by now.

F16 is going to be crazy tonight. No one catch a ban please.

Lol. Everyone is writing off QD already after a few days. At $1.65-1.70 at least wait to see if it can hold support at $1.50. A SOLID support line that was tested numerous times. Average down at $1.50 and sell at $1.80 to hopefully get back to even.

---

Yep and as I said, the OA accumulation plays aren't normally short term. JD probably needed a year+ to come around

---

This is what I was going to post. QD was for accumulation, be patient. Maybe add some more if you like. But give it some time. Ontx took a while before shooting up here recently.

---

I made the ONTX play and was able to go bet free. I missed the QD play apparently.

What was the entry for most? Still viable to get in?

---

Right about now would be good. It's gone down the past three days.

Focus whales. The casualties have already mounted a toll. DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM OF TEMPTATION.

I got my ass wrecked this week. It has been a while. Very unenjoyable. Maybe I need to start streaming Portnoy. Jesus.

How did a permabear lose money this week? Last two days have been the better ones in a while to be short.

I'm not going to catch a ban, just enjoy the pressure that thread puts on Young and the BORs.

---

Question is, how do we put the most pressure on them? This is the wrong board for that, but seriously this kid needs to be kicked out of A&M and Young needs to go after essentially calling us all racists. Racism in such short supply they're having to create it.

The demand is >>> supply

Boo! Your Mr. Permabear badge is going to be replaced with Mr. Cautiously Optimistic. Not as badass.

REPLYING TO YOURSELF IS MY SCHTICK!

Yeah, you tell him boo.

Today seems like an appropriate day to share this story.

As I posted somewhere before, I took a massive position in AMD in 2015 when it was trading at $2. Our analysts were researching AMD and the main thing that stood out to me was Lisa Su. She in my opinion is the absolute ideal CEO for a semiconductor company. She has a Bachelor's, Master's & PHD in Electrical Engineering from MIT which is perfect, but she also has that unique quality few Engineers of that caliber possess, which is also being a great salesperson and having an acute business sense. I had a chance to meet her at CES in 2017 and talk a little shop and business. We got along very well as we have similar personalities - EE background with very extroverted personalities.

The way she changed the game for AMD was that after years of being blackballed by Intel for providing CPU's for Dell, she was able to get back in with them in 2016. Also, she was also able to leverage their relationship with Microsoft built by supplying the APU's for the Xbox into supplying GPU's for their high margin Azure Cloud Server business. Her biggest coup was hiring back Jim Keller the grandfather of the Zen architecture and thereby the Ryzen ecosystem.

This current story of Intel being behind AMD in providing smaller chips has been true since 2016, when AMD was already dishing out the badass 12 nm Zen+ chips and Intel was still struggling with their 14 nm Skylake. If you get into the weeds of chip architecture and manufacturing, you'll realize that Intel cannot catch up in the wafer game. Of course, they will still get their piece of the pie because of their strong relationships.

The main takeaway for me was that I should always bet on people. Besides all the promise of the tech, I knew AMD would never be able to topple Intel because of their poor past image (AMD = Almost Dead as it had been known for decades). But I knew Lisa Su would be able to overcome that take them to the promised land. In my current business the only motto we have is: Hire the best, keep them happy and let the magic unfold.

35x'ing with a massive investment in 5 years - well freaking done.

Excellent post and the insight is valuable, thank you for sharing. I too have heard the "almost dead" reference.
