Been holding AMD for over 5 years now. Still believe in AMDs future and will be invested but not beyond my 15% total portfolio concentration risk.

Lately because of my hold and the obvious past few months of parabolic raise, my concentration of AMD has gone up above my strong rule of "no more than 15% concentration risk in any single stock"

I don't believe I'm smart or can time the market and the only reason I bought AMD was because of this thesis which again is not really a typical financial analysis. So i have few ground rules so even if i buy some lottery tickets they are not beyond my typical regard levels.

So planning on putting some stop loss for the stock and taking profits (currently up 200%).

So if you have a stop loss of AMD where are you guys at and what would you suggest i put in there?

I strongly think there will be opportunities for AMD in the future to take a good position at a reasonable entry point. But above 400 is not an entry level for me and think it's priced for perfection.

Thank you all for your thoughts.

TLDR: No financial research or analysis, the pure NERD in me and dumb self.

I still remember people calling AMD - Advanced money losing machine in this sub and selling their stock.

Always been a PC nerd and do hold an engineering degree. I'm the kind of person who would watch YouTube videos of people building PCs and go to amazon and put all the PC parts in the cart but never really build one myself yet.

With all my research all I got to know was AMD for killing it in the PC market (not enterprise for nerds like me). I went ahead and bought the stock, no research or financial research pure love for the work they are doing.

In 2021, I needed a laptop for college and always had an intel one and it was so bad! I mean fans constantly spinning, heating up etc etc.

Did my research and bought an AMD Ryzen 7 based laptop. Loved it so much and later bought some more stock in 2022, 2023, 2024.

2025 people were trashing AMD and Lisa SU. I was fearful. Didn't buy anything since but never sold either cause i still loved my laptop so much after these years. I was like screw it, if i loose let it be i'll go down knowing the NERD in me would be proud for giving them money. IK I'm a little dumb.

Now in 2026 only to realize should've just listened to the NERD in me in 2025 as well.

But alas, i guess it's just a reminder that if you really love something soo much, maybe you should hold on to it.

PS: i still hold all the stock i bought in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Never sold anything.

Hey Y'all,
I'm in a bit of a situation, TLDR; got laid off and might have to move to India soon.

This sub has been very helpful and I'm thankful for all the info available here.

I've saved up some decent amount, not yet ready to retire but have a decent treasure chest for India, I guess? (Not fully sure)

My profile,
Age: Early 30s, Single
Status: Indian citizen with h1b.
NW: ~300k USD across 401k, roth IRA and taxable brokerage.

I've moved all these into brokerages that I can operate from India and I'm planning to leave all these investments in the US for a very long time (My conviction says dollar will stay strong and US markets will have alpha over everyone else in long term).

I've just moved about 10K USD into NRE for my initial survival in India and don't plan on touching anything more.

Plan:
-Leave 401k and roth IRA as is and not touch it.
-Mostly leave taxable brokerage as is and maybe reset cost basis while RNOR and maybe Irish domiciled funds later.

I just don't have any interest or plan to buy any properties or land in India or in the US(Have always been moving around since 18 for college, work, etc and now i'm mostly getting booter out of US and lost any interest in buying property anywhere).

Am i thinking in the right way? Should i be careful about anything else for my finances?

Also, i understand i have to declare all of these assets to Indian government when i become ROR. I don't mind paying taxes and have paid up my fair share all along. Is there a way i can keep my info private from the Indian government? I seriously have major trust issues with Indian government. I only know of crypto which will let me have some privacy but I'm wary of concentration risk.

Appreciate all your thoughts and suggestions.
