$AMD (+4,28%)

Lisa Su secured an investment of 10 billion US dollars from Saudi Arabia for $AMD (+4,28%)

Greetings dear community,

after about 6 months of investing I thought I would share my experiences here with newer investors like myself and to get opinions and experiences from the old hands.

My journey with investing started last year in December, I also registered on GetQuin relatively quickly as I had seen an advertisement for it. Like any complete beginner, instead of reading up, I just bought what I saw in a buddy's portfolio:

$MSTR (-1,79%)

$IREN (-0,83%)

$SPGI (-0,55%)

$AAPL (-0,14%)

$XRP (-1,1%)

As you can see in my current overview, these shares are still in my portfolio - the background here is the "bear market" we have been experiencing since the beginning of the year. I didn't want to sell the shares at a loss and thought that the small positions I had invested in were no big deal.

However, the aim here is definitely to sort out thoroughly.

Thanks to the community here, I was able to learn a lot, read a lot of posts and also wrote one or two posts myself. As a result, I was able to build up a lot of knowledge and realized that I needed a solid strategy. 🧠

Quite quickly, I started to set up an ETF savings plan on the $IWDA (+0,15%) This is still running today and is part of my strategy. I have also made one or two individual investments in:

$AMZN (-0,19%)

$AMD (+4,28%)

However, in contrast to my predecessors, I have been much more involved with both companies, and my investment horizon is also far into the future thanks to my young age. What's more, I bought the shares during the price slumps - which clearly paid off again on a day like today. 😎

My future strategy would be a core-satellite strategy, with the All-World as the core and an ETF in the emerging markets or Europe as a satellite. In addition, I would buy individual shares in proven stocks and a $BTC (-1,07%) savings plan, which is also simply left to run, as I also find the topic of crypto as such extremely exciting! 😅

Finally, I would like to thank all the regular "posters" who provide young investors like me with valuable market information, new stocks with exciting prospects and knowledge in areas such as trading or well thought-out strategies.

I can also appeal to beginners and would like to encourage you to post here, ask questions and don't let it get you down - I am also at the beginning of my career and yet I am confident, inquisitive and ready to get further into the subject after my training and really implement my strategy! 🚀

Have a nice evening and good luck in your investment career 📈

The AI boom has had a major impact on the stock market landscape in recent months. However, a more differentiated picture emerges in May 2025:

📈 Current share price developments:

• $NVDA (+4,1%) (Nvidia): Currently at $113.54. Despite impressive AI innovations, the stock is down over 19% year-to-date.
• $SMCI (+14,62%) (Super Micro Computer): Currently trading at $32.94. Recent quarterly results showed a decline in revenue compared to the previous quarter, raising questions about the sustainability of growth.
• $AMD (+4,28%) (AMD): Stands at $98.62. The company reported revenues of $7.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025, with the data center business in particular standing out with growth of 57%.
• $PLTR (+1,54%) (Palantir): Currently at $108.86. Despite strong quarterly numbers, the stock fell over 12% due to concerns about valuation and slowing international growth.
• $INTC (-3,14%) (Intel): Quoted at $19.94. The company continues to struggle with challenges in the AI space and is trying to make up lost ground against competitors like $NVDA (+4,1%) and $AMD (+4,28%) to regain lost ground.

🔍 Conclusion:

The AI hype has undoubtedly caused significant price movements. However, current developments show that investors are increasingly differentiating between sustainable growth and exaggerated expectations.

What do you think? Which of these stocks do you think have long-term potential and which should be treated with caution?

• The current forecast takes into account tariff increases that have already come into force by March 12 as well as countermeasures taken by the company.
• "Due to the volatile development and the ongoing negotiations, the expected effects of customs duties can still only be depicted using assumptions," the Group said.
• BMW performed better than feared in the first quarter.
• Earnings before interest and taxes slipped by 22.5 percent to 3.14 billion euros due to the weakness in China, while sales fell by 7.8 percent.
• In the Automotive division, the operating margin (EBIT) fell by 1.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent.
