Transcript

such an idiot, dude. So on August 2nd, I bought 10 shares of AMD at 488. And I sold them yesterday before earnings at like 523. So I made a decent amount of money, right? But then because we did so well with Palantir earnings, I was like, you know what? I kind of want to play AMD earnings. But I don't want to buy options. So I bought shares. So you see here, August 4th, I bought 20 shares at $527.60. I pretty much bought at the top. So obviously AMD earnings, but then didn't do good because the cap back spend even though they double beat. So I'm gonna be bad coding these for a while. It is what it is. I mean, AMD shareholders, guys.
