    AMD Hopes To Earn $22 Billion Revenue In 2025 For A Staggering 232% Growth Over 2019

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:52 AM PST

    Chip designer Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (AMD) announced its decision to acquire programmable computing solutions designer Xilinx, Inc in October.

    As part of its offer and calculations for the deal, AMD provided its future financial projection estimates to DBO Partners, LLC - AMD's financial advisory firm for the entire affair. These projections go beyond the details that AMD had revealed in its financial analyst day earlier this year, and they provide a glimpse into what the company expects of itself over the course of the next five years.

    At the analyst day, AMD provided a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% for the next five years. During the company's presentation, chief financial officer (CFO) Mr. Devinder Kumar had stated that this figure, part of the company's long term model, was for the next four years - or for the end of the fiscal year 2023

    AMD's EPS forecasts for the fiscal year 2020 and the following five years in the S4 Form are $1.20, $1.56, $2.19, $2.90, $3.41 and $3.90 respectively

    My 2 cents around an "inevitable" crash.

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 10:26 AM PST

    Just spit balling here, but is a crash really inevitable?

    Traditional trading is no more. Currencies all over the world are deflating due to insane debt levels.

    Your equity is better off being tied up with something that actually adds value, like businesses.

    It doesn't really make sense to liquidate and move into a cash position that'll only deflate and lose value.

    I get that a crash is usually induced by a major sell off. But the scale of the crash back in March wasn't even that big. It crashed but relatively, it wasn't that big. And that was a freaking global pandemic, with so much uncertainty and everything shut. What would we need to top that? Nuclear war or something along those lines?

    The ball game has changed and I don't think we can rely on historical trading as an accurate reference point.

    In addition to this, the wealth gap we're seeing is unprecedented. Those who are most likely to be affected by a global catastrophe and need cash, probably don't have much tied up in the stock market.

    The massive bull run we're seeing, to me sounds like simple supply and demand. Nobody wants to hold a deflating currency, so the demand for stocks naturally rises and is treated as a commodity like gold.

    Keen to see everyone's thoughts around this. And why I'm wrong lol.

    Why no one talks about Unity (U)?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:20 AM PST

    So Palantir (PLTR) IPOed in September and quickly became a meme stock. It was estimated to have a market cap of 10B, but currently it has 41.5B and its stock is trading at ~3x the IPO price.

    Pretty much the same goes for Unity (U). It's a different segment, but it's still a freshly IPOed tech company like Palantir. It was estimated at 10B, now it's 40.8B, its stock is trading at ~3x the IPO price. Sounds familiar?

    I'm very curious how did it happen, that Palantir got all the hype and memes, while the company, whose stock behaves exactly the same, is barely mentioned in this sub?

    AI energy storage pioneer Stem Inc to go publicly-listed

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 11:48 AM PST

    Energy Storage News: AI energy storage pioneer Stem Inc to go publicly-listed

    Excerpts:

    The US-headquartered provider of battery energy storage systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) which optimises their ability to capture market opportunities said this morning that a definitive agreement [...] has been reached [...]

    Also:

    Stem Inc has largely played in the commercial and industrial (C&I) segment of the energy storage market, creating connected virtual power plants (VPPs) through batteries at office buildings and industrial sites, although it has also diversified into areas including utility solar-plus-storage.

    From using stored renewable energy to reduce peak demand and lower energy costs for C&I customers and using their systems to provide grid services, Stem Inc has been one of the primary movers in the energy storage-as-a-service market.

    And:

    The company's intelligence energy services software platform, called Athena, has already been deployed and "proven" in Canada and Japan as well as in Stem's US homeland, CEO Carrington said in a press release. Athena runs or operates around 1GWh of storage across more than 900 systems. According to Carrington, the merger and funds the transaction gives the company access to will be used to "enable expansion into several additional global markets".

    Abbvie one of the best long term dividend stocks

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:51 AM PST

    I feel like a lot of young investors don't like the idea of slow and steady growth but thinking about building a position in abbvie for decades gets me excited lol. I'm 21 and have been investing since Aug. 2017. If not Abbvie, which stock would you choose to do this strategy and why?

    How to trade new IPO like Airbnb

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:48 AM PST

    Maybe stupid question, but trading (for regular investors) of a new IPO stock like Airbnb starts the same time of the day as the rest of the market right?

    So ABNB will start trading at 9.30 EST on Wednesday Dec 9th?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to place an order at your broker say at 9am before it opens? Or only at 9.30?

    And for a new IPO like this would it make sense to use a Stop Limit order? E.g. at 50 with limit at 55. Using a market order seems risky.

    Thanks!!

    Long term Growth Stock: Bandwidth Inc (BAND)

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:55 AM PST

    Hello Guys,

    I'm a long term Investor and here to share thoughts on BAND. The below write-up barely covers a bit of my research on the company but I thought it should be enough for people on the lookout.

    BAND: It's is a communications platform-as-a-service (CPaaS) company providing cloud-based software to integrate voice and text into online applications.To simplify, when you're voice calling or conferencing on Zoom, you're calling over Bandwidth's network. . Microsoft is also one of Bandwidth's client.

    Market Cap: 4B

    Number of Employees: 772

    Total Debt (MRQ): 300M

    Revenue:

    | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
    | 152M | 162M | 204M | 232M |

    Average Analyst Price Target: 198Current Price: 158With most of the analysts recommending a Buy or Strong buy

    Main Competitors: Twilio (TWLO), RingCentral (RNG), Agora (API), etc

    Advantage: All these competitors are basically a middleman using someone else's infrastructure for example RingCentral is a Bandwidth customer so that's where Bandwidth has an advantage i.e. only Bandwidth actually owns the network infrastructure on which it's communications are run.So in short, Bandwidth can and already is pricing out the competitors but this is not even their biggest advantage but I would rather let you research that out :)

    Risk: There is a lot of catching up to do with companies like Twilio which offer an excellent service and ease of implementation. Though last mover advantage is a thing, things can still go wrong.

    Future Expectations: This is one of the stock which can take a big hit if the market tumbles so it's not for faint-hearted but the potential long term return could be sweet like catching the Moster stocks in their early days. Start with a small amount in the portfolio and load up on dips to be on the safer side but do your research first.

    Personal Profile: Bandwidth is 7% of my portfolio with 13 Stocks and a bit of cash in total and I'm currently researching Lemonade (LMND) since last week to be my 14th, any suggestions are welcome.

    What is the best and worst stock you ever owned?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 03:04 PM PST

    In the short time (>3 years) I've been buying individual stocks, the best was WJA.TO. Almost doubled my investment when the Onex takeover was announced.

    Worst: CHK. Now let us never speak of that again.

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 04:38 AM PST

    Dear community.

    I live in Europe so I opened Revolut account since I can't open US accounts and I wanna invest money in stocks and crypto. I watched few videos, red few tips on internet. I am more like "try to learn" person so I have to try it to learn something.

    I chose to invest small money just to see if this whole thing is something for me.

    I chose to invest $10 to - Apple, Amazon and AMD.

    I payed $10 for every single of those. So $30 for everything.

    I payed $10 for Bitcoin and $10 for Ether. So $20 for everything.

    I wanna invest each month about $30-$50. I would like to invest in - Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix, Coca-Cola, Paypal, Pepsi, AMD. I wanna keep it more Tech. I would choose best 3 stocks to buy each month and buy them.

    Do you think I chose good starting investments ? Are these too risky ?

    Let me know more tips into comments !

    Thanks !

    I'm not too sure what to do with GME before earnings on Tuesday

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 12:23 PM PST

    I have 500 shares of GME at a cost basis of 13.60 per share and it's priced at 16.90 per share as of Friday.

    I am thinking of reducing my position, as all my senses tell me that earnings won't be pretty tomorrow. However, I have major FOMO over missing a squozening. A potential once in a lifetime short squeeze if anything is positive about earnings.

    Since options are expensive, I was thinking of selling 2 in the money covered calls in the money to protect me from the downside and keeping three hundred shares for the upside.

    Is this a good strategy? Should I just get out of it?

    I'm an unsophisticated investor, hence the reason I am in Gamestop, but I know a little, and I'm perplexed on what my options are on for Monday.

    I have some extra cash to invest. Should I buy PLTR, NIO or TSLA?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 12:07 PM PST

    I'm currently sitting on $2k available to invest and want to use it all on one stock. I've narrowed it down to 3 stocks: PLTR, NIO, and TSLA. I'm a long time investor and looking to hold these positions for 5+ years. I chose NIO and TSLA obviously because EV's are the future. I understand TSLA is no where near close to growing and is a no brainer choice, but with $2k, I'll only be able to get 3 shares. NIO on the other hand is way cheaper and and has similar potential for growth like TSLA. PLTR also seems legit and has a great foundation as a company but it's not a consumer based business so I'm a little hesitant about going in on this as it does not have a potential like EV's (I could be wrong, please correct me if I am). How would you guys spend this $2k?

    CRSP ostensibly cures patient of sickle cell anemia, the first gene editing treatment to cure a Mendelian disorder

    Posted: 05 Dec 2020 07:48 PM PST

    In a remarkable results, CRSP shows that their gene editing treatment, using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology that recently won its co-founder Emmanuelle Charpentier the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry, effectively cured one patient of sickle cell anemia and another of B-thalassemia. CRSP announces these results in a talk at the American Society of Hematologists and in a publication in the premier medical journal- NEJM

    https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2031054?query=featured_home

    This is the first time gene editing has cured a genetic disease in patients.

    CRSP and the other gene editing stocks EDIT, NTLA, and BEAM have had great runs this year, and their technology has now been validated in a landmark study.

    Ways of buying Chinese stocks while staying in Europe

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 06:39 AM PST

    I am quite a newbie and hence, please don't hate me asking this question :) I have some amount which I would like to invest in NIO, Li Autos and Baba.

    As there are possibilities that some of them might get delisted from the NYSE in 3 years time, and therefore, I have been wondering if any of you know ways/applications/interfaces using which we can buy Chinese stocks in either Frankfurt Stock Exchange or in London or somewhere else in Europe.

    Any ideas? This information might also be useful for other European citizens who are also new and have no clew how to do that. Thanks :)

    Stock market crash 2021 or growth ahead? | Jobless claims impact on the stock market | STOCK MARKET NEWS [12-06]

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 11:54 AM PST

    The latest jobless numbers came in bad while the stock market keeps pushing forward, is a stock market crash coming soon? Let's talk about this and the latest stock market news

    Hey everyone! So let's start with the recap off Friday as we saw the broad market SP500 leading the way up 0,88%, with the DOW Industrial close behind up 0,83% and the Nasdaq COMPOSITE also gaining a decent amount, up 0,7% with all 3 big indexes closing at all-time highs.

    We saw more than ¾ of the stocks advancing despite below average volume as companies either small, mid or large cap value or growth stocks were gaining except large-cap growth.

    The best gaining sectors were Energy and Materials up over 2% while Utilities finished 1% down on Friday, as Utilities were the only sector to finish the week losing significant ground, with Consumer Discretionary also dropping just 0,12%. With the rest of the sectors in the green, Energy, Health Care, Technology and Communication being the biggest gainers finishing the week up over 2%.

    Utilities have been hit hard in the last year as residential consumers and small businesses have been able to defer paying power bills, this will continue to hold down the sector for now with the debt still increasing.

    The VIX also dropped more than 2% on Friday and finished the week over 5% down as the HEAT MAP from Friday shows us that there were plenty of gains to be made especially in the Energy Sectors as well as Financials, with the big companies from the Tech and Communication sectors doing worse than the rest of the market.

    For the week though this HEAT MAP shows that Apple was one of the biggest gainers alongside Semiconductors and Energy Names while Health Care companies like JNJ and Pfizer also did very good.

    The big indexes all finished higher for the week with the SP500 up 1,7%, the Nasdaq Composite up 2,1% and the Dow up 1% with renewed hopes for a stimulus package being back on the table.

    Here are the most interesting economic reports for next week, it will be a light week in terms of economic data but still, the market may be volatile and trends may change depending on some of the results.

    So, on Friday November JOBS came in much lower than anticipated, coming in at 245K vs de 610K in October and 469K estimated while the unemployment rate dropped to 6,7% a bit better than expected and down from 6,9% in the past month. Still there are over 10million people unemployed, this number more than doubling since the start on February. The net addition of jobs in November was the smallest since May as government jobs were the worst performing while transportation and warehousing jobs continue to increase, as big companies … aka Amazon has hired almost 3thousand people per day this year. But the bad news is that long-term unemployment is approaching the peaks from the Great Recession and that is not good news for the economy or the stock market as over 3,9 million people have been out of work for at least 6 months.

    So, this is pretty bad news as mortgages in forbearance just slightly declined this week, by just 39K with more and more plans planned to expire in December, over 1M more exactly, more than 40% of active cases.

    This may finally put some extra pressure on the Congress to agree to a relief package maybe even passing it alongside the government funding bill that is still debated and has over 300 issues that the parties don't agree on.

    This is becoming more and more obvious as cases in the US continue to rise, coming in over 200k in the last 2 days and the economy will soon feel the pressure from this, I expect the next month or two of economic data to not be so good, this may be the time the market sees a 5-10% correction before moving on higher on more positive things like the availability of the vaccine, the passing of the torch In the Presidency and a possible relief package.

    Yes, this will continue to add to the US DEBT, but even though I don't have any partisan views, a good structured relief bill would do wonders for the economy as a bridge to when the vaccine will finally be widely available.

    Yes, I know that the global debt is set to reach $200 trillion but the DEBT-to-GDP ratio is projected to slowly go back down in the next couple of years.

    Other numbers that came in on Friday were Factory ORDERS which came in better than expected at +1%. While a new Redfin report indicates an increase in average home prices year over year of 16% with the number of pending home sales up almost 30% over last year while new listings of home sales is up just 9% since 2019 and dropping rather fast in the last months with sales of homes going for all time-high prices at 99,5% of the asking price as the real estate market keeps booming along.

    The other number that came in on Friday and was not so good was the trade deficit, which widened even more in the last month by almost $2B.

    So next week is again pretty slow in earnings reports with the most interesting ones on being Chewy, GameStop, Adobe, LuluLemon, Dave&Busters, Costco, Oracle and Broadcom.

    I own a small stake in all of them except Oracle and GameStop. I don't see such a big growth opportunity with Oracle while GameStop I believe will struggle to turn around the business with very though e-commerce competition.

    We will also have a number of new IPOs this week from DoorDash, AirBNB, C3.ai, Hydrofarm and Pubmatic. The first 3 are more interesting for myself but I will only take a first look at AirBNB and at what price that stock goes public to maybe get some action, I think we will a much bigger price than the 44-50$ price range to begin with for public trading. I also expect the same thing to happen with DoorDash which has already raised the IPO pricing to 90-95$ but I am not very interested to buy that stock, as this type of economy has hugely benefited them and it might see a decrease rather than an increase in the next couple of years.

    So, guys I still believe the stock market has upside in front of it, especially in the next 2 years, but you should tread careful for now, I think a possible correction might be just ahead before we move on higher, as you can see in this CHART, a wedge formation is continuing to from with more and more tension, I believe there is about a 6,5% possible downside to the market at the moment before eventually getting back on track next year and going toward the 4000 level. And especially with the most recent jobless numbers in the US, I would try to diversify a little more especially with some EAST-ASIA exposure in countries like South Korea, Singapore and China also.

    Thank you everyone for reading! Hope you enjoyed the content! Be sure to leave a comment down below with your opinion on the stock market!

    Have a great day and see you next time!

    AirBNB IPO this week (Dec. 10). Shares $44-50/each.

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:43 AM PST

    The time is finally here.

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/what-to-know-in-the-week-ahead-133729400.html

    51.9 million shares will be available on Thursday.

    The question is: are you buying then or waiting?

    Pretty incredible to see Uber IPO then dip for a while, only to regain its opening price in the past few weeks. Do we think ABNB will do the same?

    What is your opinion on Japanese Automotive stocks? Details inside with examples inside.

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 08:28 AM PST

    I don't know how exactly I came tro checking out Japanese automotive stocks, but it caught my eye that 2/3 examples below are close to historic lows anda actually 1/3 is at an historic low. I'm no expert in the branche, hence looking for other traders'/investors' opinion on these stocks:

    - Mitsubishi Motors - TYO:7211 . Trading at 195JPY (!), set the graph to Max./All time, it is destructive.

    - Mazda - TYO:7261 . Trading at 652JPY, only 200JPY away from its historic low in 2012 before gaining momentum of 500% into 2013

    - Nissan - TYO:7201 . Trading at 542JPY and only recently started moving. Historic low at ~277JPY at around 2009

    Edit: I think it is because of the recent $RYCEY / $RR posts. I'll be posting this both on stocks and investing for exposure and different insights!

    Buy post-earning or pre-earning

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 09:36 AM PST

    Hi,

    For a couple of months I was trying to buy pre-earning stocks and then hope that they will rally when they release reports. But looks like the number of companies which dips after reports are more than those that rally. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to screen the stocks that dip after earning reports and then buy them? Thanks.

    With alphafold's protein folding prediction advancements using ai and deep learning, costs in the field of genetics have been exponentially cut.

    Which stocks benefit from this discovery? I'm not scientific minded but I know enough to know that this will have a significant impact.

    CRSP? NVTA?

    Which broker do you use?

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 10:05 AM PST

    Title says it all.

    I am fairly new at this and started with DEGIRO investing into an index fund.

    I am now slowly experimenting with different strategies and reading a lot more about actual stock market investing and the more technical aspects of it all.

    I noticed for example DEGIRO doesn't have after hours trading. I find this to be a big disadvantage for anyone except if you only invest into an index fund.

    What broker do you guys recommend?

    What are other advantages/disadvantages between different brokers besides the one mentioned?

    Brokerage question

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 07:55 AM PST

    I know this has been talked of before, but have had a lot of issues with my current account at Vanguard (constant website issues for the last 6 months or so, $300 fees to split units, taking forever for tickers to change with SPACS, unable to buy certain OTC stocks for "my safety, etc.) but wanted to get a current synopsis on preferred brokers. Also having a hard time using search feature to specifically see if any recent questions on this.

    What is your preferred brokerage? From what I remember seeing Fidelity and TD Ameritrade were a few but may be wrong on that.
