Do you own stock in your favorite GPU maker?

Do you own stock in your preferred GPU vendor?

  • No, I have no equity positions in any GPU maker at this time.

  • Yes, and I own shares of AMD.

  • Yes, and I own shares of NVIDIA.

  • Yes, but I own shares in both.

  • I don't have a preferred GPU vendor and I don't own shares in either.

  • I don't have a preferred GPU vendor, but I own shares in at least one of NVIDIA/AMD.

Results are only viewable after voting.
Nope, not in CPU either. If I own any is pure coincidence via investment funds.

Business and emotions is never a good mix. And we can see how easily it is to hype something and dream of crazy markedshare changes that wont happen.

My poll was poorly worded 😉 Owning NVIDIA/AMD via index fund doesn't count. Neither does ownership of Intel, Qualcomm, ARM, ImgTec, etc. These companies all design GPUs, but I meant either AMD or NVIDIA, the two major discrete gaming GPU makers.

Agreed.
 
I own shares of NVDA stock. I've flipped back and forth between nVidia and AMD on the GPU side ever since I retired my 3dfx Voodoo Banshee.

Waiting to see top end Polaris 10 performance benchmarks before deciding on whether to buy a 1070 or Polaris 10 as a stopgap, then upgrade to Big Pascal/Big Vega down the road.
 
I invest in index funds, with $0 in shares of any one stock.

Just because I like a video card, or game, or Dyson vacuum cleaner doesn't make it a good idea to invest in that company. An S&P 500 index ETF gives you 500 stocks at once, and is much safer.

"Invest in what you know" is a terrible saying for most people for picking stocks. You might know golf or anime but you don't know how well the stock of the companies selling products in that space are going to do.

Buy index funds, hold them for decades, get well-off slowly.
 
I've owned various video cards from both camps over the last 20 years.

Bought in to nVidia in October 2015. Since then it's gone on a nice +73% run. :thumbsup:
 
I sold my AMD stock when it shot back up to like $3.75 a share a couple weeks ago. I had been holding some shares for a few years before that. I broke even. Some I had bought at $2 a share, made $$$ on, some I had bought at $9 a share, lost $$$ on ...
 
No, I don't have enough money to gamble on single stocks. S&P 500 and Total Bond funds, real estate as well in the next 2-5 years.
 
No and probably never will. Too risky ...

Index funds ... no load and very low expenses.
 
I bought ATI... and then it shot up greatly when it was announced back a decade ago that AMD bought them. I promptly sold to lock in that big one-day gain.
 
No... cause they go up 50% one year and down 50% the next just because they don't get a contract with a new device or their sales looked like they might go down.

Even Apple is tanking now.

I do regret selling my GOOG shares though -- and AAPL back in 2010.
 
Yep. Nvidia on quite a number of occasions, they always made me money. AMD I've stayed away from as it's way to volatile & unpredictable....but that might change this year.

Btw Nvidia is one of Wallstreet's favorite semiconductor stocks.

If I listened to a parent for investment advice, I'd still be holding onto RIMM (Blackberry) at $60 -- I, luckily, sold at a gain, then never touched it again.
