"Plenty of value on the UK markets right now, especially as ISA rates are falling, some down to 0.05%! You'd need to be a rich player for Amazon though. They have a hefty share price!" You can buy parts of shares you know. You dont have to buy a whole share. | |||

"AMD stock is one that is well worth looking at. As it stands now, AMD has over 80% of the retail CPU market. Once Ryzen 4 launches next year, they could well have a sizeable chunk of the Laptop and enterprise market as well. They already have made big inroads into the Server and Cloud computing market and that will only grow." I dint know enough about CPU in cloud markets , I only invest in things I understand.... but it’s controlled by AWS, GCP and Azure , Do they all use AMD chips ? | |||

" AMD - taking over the cloud apparently
Thoughts? "Tech companies are my speciality. AMD is my fav at the moment, if i tell you why, you will understand. In January 2017 i bought 1000 shares at $10.61 each. In February this year i sold 250 shares at $52.26 each, getting back the investment plus a small profit. That still leaves me with $40k's worth of shares which i may well cash out in a couple of years time. There arn't many places you can get that sort of return. | |||

" Whats your thoughts long term on these? Say hold for 5 years if purchased at today's prices? " Over 5 years could be a bit of a gamble unless you know a lot about tech companies. I defo intend to keep what i have for the next 2 years at least. The reason for that is because it will take at least 2 years for Intel to be able to bring competing tech to market. If Intel fails to do that, it would be worth keeping for longer. | |||

" What other tech stocks would you consider ? What do you think of Microsoft & Apple right now ? " Microsoft has been a good "Cash Cow" for me over the years lol. I still have 300 shares and would defo buy more if i wanted more. When they release MS Flight Sim it will be a huge money earner and i can see the share price going up and up. For personal reasons i have never looked at Apple so havn't got anything to say other than i wouldn't give them a penny of my money. LG Electronics i think are undervalued at the moment,it has always been good with dividends as well, so is worth a look. Cray Inc is certainly worth a look. They are one the supercomputer companies that have been taking advantage of AMD's EPYC cpu's lately and have got a lot of very profitable business because of it. Price is low, but could well shoot up once the market notices the profits that will come from recent Cray contracts. | |||

"but I don’t know much about what else they have planned. " As i said, the next major money earner for MS is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It's a major shift in the way that flight sim games work and look. It's base from Azure and is designed from the ground up to use every single core of a cpu, unlike most games that only use 4 or 6 cores. Most of the other flight sims around only use 4 cores at most. It's being well looked forward to by enthusiasts and will sell by the shed load. MS's turnover and profit will skyrocket along with the share price. | |||

In North America alone it's a market worth $1.85 Billion a year. If you add to that the release of XboxX later this year where the current Xbox is worth $11.4 Billion a year in 2019. Including a 20% drop in sales because peeps are waiting for XboxX. XboxX is perfect for MS flight sim, and at the moment MS have 0% of the flight sim market. The 2 together have a massive potential to gain a huge market share. | |||

Don’t no much about them or Ali express these days, used them along time ago before drop shipping and affiliate sales was a thing, it was hard going but and risky but many of us made a lot of money but didn’t have the confidence to invest.

"Been tracking AMD since the post on here. They are up well. Maybe some legs long term. How are you doing on it ? Good luck , I decided not to buy into AMD just yet. To be honest I only hold about 6 stocks currently, Amazon, Microsoft, Auto-trader and a couple others I’m connected to, but I’m watching AMD. Was also hoping for some IPO this year but it’s highly unlikely now Been as high as £49 but today a magnificent 11 pence. For me the long game with this one so I’m not worried. Facebook has been the most consistent. The WhatsApp deal in India and Portal rollout is a good sign. " I hope you kept hold of AMD,$85.04 yesterday.I can see them reaching $100 billion market cap before the end of this year. | |||

"How much would you say a decent punt would be? 100k Anything else just seems a little pointless" Like with any gambling, stake is the amount that you are happy to lose, otherwise you need psychiatric help | |||

"So when NYSE opens at 2:30 today I’ll be out of this little experiment, it’s been fun but tbh stocks are for people with too much money and no creativity. Things are looking like they will begin to rebalance so it’s out while I’m up, just under a grand profit in four months will do nicely for a holiday Amazon up 26.7% (17/04 $2381) Microsoft up 21.9% (21/04 $171, 24/04 $172.6) " Be interested to hear what you do next. I’m going in on another buy to let I have sat and watched and feel it’s the right time. Keeping my shares ticking away though. | |||

"I’ll have the occasional punt on stocks I understand short and long but not significant amounts. I’m holding on to some Tesla , a bit like premium bonds, I’m hoping in the next 2-3 years he disrupts the super capacitor / fuel cell markets and my 5grand becomes 50grand, but if it shrinks to 500 quid it’s not the end of the world. Other than that I’m looking into art, metals and like you property, staycation markets creating some good opportunities | |||

"Agreed and UK heatwaves becoming more common. Just about every decent cottage in the Peak District is fully booked up now.....all that is left is crappy student flats (get out of that) the real growth in these markets is not just rentals - rental+experience | |||

"Nikola corporation has been awesome this week, sold off amazon and jumped this I jumped in a day early the night before earnings were released, still up 20% though so it’s all good. Ishares global clean energy fund is also doing well " I’m smiling watching amazon and Microsoft , for once I made perfect timing . | |||
