My first 100-bagger: AMD 💎💰

I was asked to write a few more lines about AMD.

I was a gamer at the time and was familiar with the products and knew that AMD only needed a good processor architecture to be a runt in the duopoly with Intel. That didn't come with Bulldozer, but later with Zen. I wasn't immediately in the black, but about five years (2011-2016) in the red. I never sold, but bought three more times because I believed in the potential. Now the products are better than Intel's and are also used in gaming consoles, data centers and for AI. AMD was my very first stock in February 2011.

I had bought AMD in

2011: 6,63€

2012: 1,70€

2014: 1,93€

2015: 1,97€

Current share price: €184

All-time high this week: € 202

I still hold 1,000 of my total of 2,500 AMD shares, which now have a total value of almost €200,000. I continue to hold.

Haters will say it was just luck. But they would have sold the stock long before it became a 10-bagger. "No one has ever died from taking profits", says every beginner who sells their winners out of fear. But not selling shares is an active decision. Buying and holding even with +50%, +100% or +500% gains are also your own decisions. Many times people asked me to finally sell. But none of these people had ever had a Tenbagger. And if they don't let profits run, they will never have one. When AMD was up 2,000% at some point, nobody wanted to give me any more clever tips.

I had been constantly watching videos from YouTubers who had leaks from the industry. So I knew a lot about promising future AMD products. That gave me the confidence to hold on. The YouTube channels worth mentioning here are

"Moore's Law is dead"

and "Coreteks".

I would not recommend holding every crashed or very successful share unconditionally forever. I only do that if I see further potential in the future. With Aurora Cannabis, for example, it was different in March 2019. I no longer saw any potential there and sold at +417% / +11,000 euros. This decision was also the right one, because otherwise I would have lost all my profits later and would still be in the red today.

At the moment I am even invested in AMD with a warrant alongside the share. This had quintupled in three months. What will be your next 100-bagger?

$AMD (+1.99%)
$NVDA (+1.83%)

Congratulations!
But you're right: anyone can buy a 100-bagger, only very few will keep it.
Is there any condition under which you would sell AMD completely?

@Epi Very strong 🤓🚀 keep it up, respect.

I felt the same way with $AAPL. I bought them in 2013. Then sold last year and the last remainder this year at just under 1700%-1400% (in several tranches)

You need a good instinct + a bit of luck + balls of steel. Congratulations!

I don't know whether I'll reach a hundred bagger. But I think I have a few ten-bagger candidates in my portfolio at the moment, and the amount I see there, which has only been created in the last 2.5 years, is already considerable.

@multibagger Irish perhaps...? :)

Chris@Multibagger

@Migu11 It would have to rise to €900 for that. Then rather $IPX, if their technology catches on, or $MEI.

First of all, congratulations, do you want a dividend to be paid on such an investment? You hold for so long and in my short investment experience I think that at a certain point a dividend, no matter how small, would be nice, otherwise there would be no cash flow.
Have a nice Sunday

@Yannikz Counter question: Or do you want the company to reinvest every dollar of revenue in research, development, cheaper production, in short, growth?

If the company supports future growth instead of simply distributing it to its investors, the share price can continue to rise.

With its position size, far more lucrative than a dividend of 1-4% 🙂

Thanks for your view @Rendite_Fux, that's exactly the question I'm asking, if I've only been with a company for 2 to 3 years, I naturally want every cent to be invested in growth and stability.
But if I build up a company myself and the intrinsic value of it after 10 years is 100 times that of my beginnings, I also start to pay myself a little more money in salary or special benefits such as a company car.
Perhaps this will clarify my thinking a little 😅

Ballert. Really cool!
You were massively I'm minus after your first purchase. And for a very long time. It's all the more respectable that you bought more and have held on until now (and beyond).

What's more, it was your first share 🤣👏

One of the coolest moves ever! 👌
