>> No.820965

dont buy google or something expensive

what you want is high rise in percentage with 1k to invest. national bank of greece is quite a safe bet, sell at 5.

There's cheap and then there's good value. Guess which one AMD is.

Nvidia is a better investment long term

this. NVIDIA is hands down better, and its way more diversified. They also have fabs. And yes I'm a shill and got 150 shares of NVDIA

Why does a company's diversification matter when the investor can diversify away non-systematic risk on his own

Less risk of all out catastrophic failure when your core product goes sideways I guess - exactly what happend to AMD. Works the other way too - e.g. Google establishing the Android ecosystem in 2008, moving away from pure search + advertising. Just my opinion.

Wow, so let me get this straight, there is a difference between:
Situation A. Investing in AMD and investing in a fruit farm
and
Situation B. Investing in AMD, which also owns a fruit farm


So you're saying to me there is a difference, right? And it's actually preferable that AMD spends its resources managing a business venture that it knows nothing about just to help diversify away its shareholders' risks?

>> No.821106

>>821093
AMD is a technology company. Fruit farming is an agricultural business. Google is a technology company. Mobile OS and ecosystems are technologies. So fuck off with your low quality bait, and take AMD with you.

Hold the phone m8, I thought we were talking about diversification.

Now all of a sudden diversification is a tech company investing in multiple tech ventures? This is getting less and less logical by the minute, hah!

#Are you rich?
If yes
Invest in Nvidia or some diversified company
If not then
Invest in an index fund or mutual fund.

>> No.821572

>>821119
dude investing in a index fund that brings like 10% a year will never make anybody rich unless we manage to live a thousand years

OP the question is
how much risk are you willing to take?
if you are willing to risk losing all, you also have the chance to make more than 1000% in a short amount of time. this is the only possibility to turn 1000$ into something anybody could consider "rich"

if you are not willing to take any great risk, stay with an index fund. as mentioned above it will only give you 10% a year, so after one year you'll have like 1'100, after two years 1'210, after three years 1'321 and so on...

That's only if you don't dollar cost average. Even then, you won't be hugely rich but you will end up better off in retirement than the majority of people.

Why is AMD so cheap? what is wrong with the company? I can't imagine them going out of business.

They are going out of business, they have no money and alot of debt they can't pay. They're the Greece of tech companies.

I'm really conflicted.

Keller is stellar, but I'm scared AMD R&D is too ass for even him to save it.

I wouldn't invest in nvidia though.
