Haha, nope! 6950XT. Got it for $550 a long while ago when they were blowing them out before the 7000 series came out. Nvidia could not touch that deal price/perf at the time. I'm not a fan of dropping $1k+ on a GPU that I will barely game on due to kids/age. When you are so sure of yourself, I definitely pay attention, don't get me wrong. I will laser focus on AMD, and if I see what you are saying play out, my holdings will adjust accordingly. I just want to see a clear trend on the graphs before I act. We will see either way.
Seems like an egocentric bias combined with some Dunning-Kruger. Reminds me of that parody clip of Sherlock from Pete Holmes. We'll see! Last prediction didn't turn out so well, but hopefully it can happen this time, with both companies soaring...
Doing nothing is the correct course in nearly every case. The investment world is full of stories of world changing events that never happen. This forum is an exchange of ideas. I've shared mine. You've shared yours. Life is good.
My last prediction was uncanny accurate. I quoted both your shade throwing and my original post, so they are preserved. Declaring someone a failure is not how a mature adult conducts themselves. You aren't trying to make a point. You're trying to diminish the value of my post. If you have any ideas to share, I encourage you to do so.
Indeed. I like your analyses. Keep them coming. No such thing as too many data plots on which to build an opinion.
This is just gaslighting. Your prediction was completely inaccurate. Since February 2024 AMD had stagnated, and NVDA had soared. AMD is not "in the same ballpark as NVDA"; it's not any closer.
You are acting like a child. My predictions are there for the world to see and judge for themselves. I used to hang out on another site. Back in 2015 I opened a Tesla thread and started posting the goings on. To be fair, it was a bit of a cheer leading effort (much as the thread here). Tesla was absolutely despised by the hard right, back then. Suffice to say, every time I posted there was a guy who would declare the post wrong and me a moron. When I mentioned I bought the hell out of Tesla, he threatened to "kick my ass". I thought seriously about meeting him and giving him an opportunity but that would have probably landed me in jail. So, I moved along and found Stockaholics.net. I haven't been back to that site in years but I have every expectation that ankle biter is still working in a soul sucking career. Maybe that career is what made him so negative and angry. What's your story, rolexian? What drives you to contradict every post I write? What makes you so negative and angry? Maybe we can help you rise above this current level of conduct. I sincerely hope so. Life can be good or bad, depending on what you make of it.
Tom, constantly assigning insidious intentions to those who disagree with you, "deducing" someone's real life from internet posts, and acting like you are the center of the universe is the mark of immaturity and an infantile intellect...or it is the mark of being a troll. It seems like you want a safe space where you can preach all your opinions without pushback, where no one will question your narrative or perception of reality. I think it's best I just ignore you.
Did you not see me tactfully doubt Tom's predictions a bit ago? I have a great time bantering with him. We go back and forth on AMD sockets and PCI lanes. It's all good, even if we bicker sometimes. Tom has earned the right to say whatever he wants, and I can cross verify any or all claims/evidence he posts as I desire. His research and timing of his Tesla buys and sale are on the money. You do not have to agree with anything he says. Disagree and bring the receipts if you think he is off the mark. Just don't be a jerk.
i don’t come around here and post on this forum much nowadays anymore but i do lurk occasionally when i can. just thought to chime in here now (perhaps i should just keep my ass out of this and stay silent like most people on this site but i won’t on this occasion). i honestly feel like you absolutely hit the nail on the head, especially the part that marked in bold. basically that is precisely what i’ve been thinking as well but didn’t have the energy or guts to actually post it myself. thank you for saying that. sometimes things like this just need to be said no matter how controversial it may appear. no disrespect to tom or anyone on this site. i know you mean well and you love this site with all heart. i mean it clearly shows when you post at such crazy hours of the night sometimes too. tom is like always on this site! lol. even though this site is basically a ghost town now outside of wxyz’s thread. and no we can’t count those spammer threads like stock consultants and stocks on high alerts crap. kudos for trying to keep this site afloat. i think though the presence of a lack of anyone questioning your posts for anything is why you like posting here so much which is fine i guess. anywho… just my worthless 2c on this matter. nothing to see here carry on eh. back to lurk mode i go..
I would suggest that if you feel it's OK for rolexian to contradict my posts but it's not OK for me to push back on his, that is not a sign of a person of good character. Perhaps you can show me how I'm wrong about this? I've voiced my opinion. Others have voiced theirs. The ONLY time I've pushed back is when someone criticized me directly. This is objective fact. It can't be deleted, since I quoted the relevant posts and moved on. I understand you guys probably hold nVidia stock and you don't enjoy my outlook that is neither long term positive on Jensen or nVidia. If you were a bit sharper, you might notice I have not contradicted anyone's ideas or position. If you come at me, I may choose to come at you. I've been following contract prices for a bit. I don't use a lot of options, but I do occasionally. If an attractive contract comes up on nVidia, I may just pull the trigger. Right now, 2026 options still carry a high premium. Maybe you just don't realize, it doesn't have to be personal. It can be about investing.
Okay, let's put this to the test. I do not believe for one second that AMD will reach parity with Nvidia in any meaningful way in the next two years. I am not as bullish on AMD as Tom. I root for AMD every day, because their CPU division is kicking ass, and I like that they are a worthy option in the GPU arena. I think they have a very long way to go to try to steal Nvidia's fire, and Nvidia is as hungry as ever. They will not cede market share without a war. It's not in Jensen's DNA. There. I said it. I posted something completely counter to what Tom has been saying for months. Do I expect Tom to come at me in a negative way? Nope. And even if he did? So what? I have thick skin. Time will tell, so let's add a bit of levity. Our peanut gallery opinions really do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
