$1,000 Money Challenge

I bought AMD at 3.15 a share. It closed today at 86.71. I wish I had bought more than 100 shares back then...

While real estate guys are jumping for joy for 500% return, AMD guys are netting about 4000%*

* if you got in at around low 2s

If MrPrena is still holding onto that AMD stock, he should be doing OK.

My 1st wave of purchase was little before ps4 release date (under 2/sr).
The post #135 was about 2nd wave or 3rd wave. I gotta see 7yr ago statement to be sure.

I cannot count this as a $1000 challenge, because I was selling and buying on fluctuations but after holding for 1 +year at a time to avoid investment income.

Sadly I sold many shares about 16mo ago, because I saw many bear signs in the market. (Which I admit i am wrong).

I'm already playing with my retirement in these uncertain times. The whole monetary system and everything it's based on can just go...

Only thing that is stopping from large bubble to fire pit is Robinhood investors/traders constantly pumping.

500 bucks at yard sales. Ask about ammo, coins,watches. Take a magnifying glass or loupe. Sell on here, or other online venues. Some of the things I have sold over the years...I have made thousands.

[MrPrena]

^ yes.
It is also very liquid.

I'm just now back to where I was pre-C19 and strongly considering moving out of everything volatile into guaranteed income, which means pulling from all the markets while I have the chance and before the election. If I do I can possibly still retire or semi-retire in 3 years, but with a smaller income than the 90-100% (incl SS) I was targeting. If I don't shelter and we take another big hit, I could be working another 10 years or until I die unless I take only 70% of my current income which isn't palatable right now. In either case, the outlook for SS income is pretty dismal.
