Maybe someday we will get actual updates on actionable items. So many rods in the fireplace but not a single one getting hot. It appears we need a new blacksmith at the helm.
Their filings, when the publish them, otherwise it's all hearsay.
They are nearing the max shares outstanding, no revenues, no real income realized, business plans that are not coming to fruition, and many other markers that show growth. All the PR's issued but none have been realized in income made.
We need a quarterly released with income being generated otherwise this will fall back to the mid trips unfortunately.
Good luck Cooky. What price did you enter on? AMD is the 2nd highest shorted stock from what I understand.
This is going to take some market share away from INTEL.
AMD today introduced two new product families – the EPYC Embedded 3000 processor and Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor – to enter a new age for high-performance embedded processors.

I concur, as much as I don't want to. I am still down significantly in this stock. Things need to become tangible and revenues need to start showing. It's that plain and simple.
You must be joking, right? These have had phenomenal reviews across the board. They are taking a segment of the market that has not been carved out yet.

Even Tom's Hardware is on board.
An APU that can actually game and is cheaper than a discrete GPU + an Intel process w/ an upgradable pathway is huge. Using the AM4 socket makes sense.
It appears that their new APU is hitting all the marks:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-2400g-zen-vega-cpu-gpu,5467.html
This might really capture some of the market.
It appears there is some fascinating news coming out about the new APU:

This has a lot of potential of driving revenue growth. I'm curious what their margins are on this.
It's not something I think will have a large impact right now. IMB has been working on innovated technology for a while and has numerous patents which are just sitting there.
Only $3000 dollars worth of shares traded.
Talk about moving the goal post!
AMD is finally getting HP and Dell pushing their products. It appears they, when compared to Opteron, are getting the support to really drive business.
CORRECTING and REPLACING – AMD EPYC™ Momentum Grows with Three New Platforms in Industry-Leading Dell EMC PowerEdge Family
- Up to 20 percent lower total cost of ownership for VSAN1 and 25 percent more HPC performance2 for modern datacenter workloads now available worldwide -
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE:AMD), please note that in the third paragraph of the release, Forrest Norrod's department should be Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business Group, not Database and Embedded Solutions Business Group as previously stated. The corrected release follows:
AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced that its EPYC™ 7000 series processors are powering three of the newest Dell EMC (NYSE:DVMT) PowerEdge platforms. PowerEdge R6415, R7415, and R7425 are highly scalable, single- and dual-socket servers designed to address high-performance workloads, including virtualized storage area networks (VSAN), hybrid-cloud applications, dense virtualization, and big data analytics. The no-compromise, single-socket capabilities of AMD EPYC help the new Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms deliver up to 20 percent lower total cost of ownership in a single-socket, four-node VSAN-ready configuration.
The new Dell EMC PowerEdge servers take full advantage of the AMD EPYC 7000-series’ ability to deliver both single- and dual-socket servers with design features ranging from 32 to 64 cores, up to 4TB of memory capacity, and 12 to 24x direct NVMe drives optimized for database and analytics workloads. EPYC also supports high bandwidth and dense GPU/FPGA capabilities in these Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms for HPC applications.
“We are proudly showcasing our AMD EPYC processors in the newest wave of Dell EMC 14G PowerEdge servers. AMD EPYC processors offer tremendous performance and reliability, along with innovative configuration, I/O, and security features that PowerEdge customers can enjoy in these new servers,” said Forrest Norrod, senior vice president and general manager, Datacenter and Embedded Solutions Business Group, AMD. “The ground-breaking capabilities of EPYC in single-socket configurations allow Dell EMC to create single-socket servers that can handle the demands of most customers’ workloads, while offering real Total Cost of Ownership advantages. The Dell EMC portfolio of AMD EPYC systems excel in a wide range of workloads, including dense virtualization, hybrid-cloud applications, software-defined storage, CAD/CAM, and other memory and I/O dependent applications.”
In addition to enabling an incredibly feature-rich dual socket platform with the PowerEdge R7425, EPYC provides unique and competitive options in a single-socket package, expanding the reach of single-socket servers into new segments. The single-socket configurations in the PowerEdge R6415 and R7415 offer a 32-core count optimized for high performance and multithreaded architecture workloads. In addition, the impressively low total cost of ownership offered on all three platforms provides outstanding high-speed I/O performance on up to 128 lanes of PCIe and a memory bandwidth up to 342 GB/s.
“With AMD’s EPYC processor integrated into the new Dell EMC PowerEdge platforms, we can deliver the scalability and lower total cost of ownership needed to meet the demands of new emerging workloads,” said Ravi Pendekanti, senior vice president, product management and marketing, Server and Infrastructure Systems at Dell EMC. “Customers are constantly looking for ways to drive growth and leverage new models of computing. AMD’s single-socket platform is a great example of Dell PowerEdge servers moving the industry forward to solve real customer problems. Together, we’re enabling customers to advance their datacenter transformation by adding capacity for higher IO and memory-intensive applications for highly configurable, single- and dual-socket designs.”

(AMD) including the features, functionality, availability, timing, deployment, and expected benefits of the Dell EMC PowerEdge Gen14 platform with AMD EPYC, which are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are commonly identified by words such as "would," "intends," "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "intends," "plans," "pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the negative of these words and phrases, other variations of these words and phrases or comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements in this document are based on current beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply agreement with GF with obligations to purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements, and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with limited exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing requirements, its business could be adversely impacted; AMD relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and performance levels that provide value to its customers while supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be unable to make all of its planned investments in research and development or other strategic investments; the loss of a significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party products and the success of those products; global economic uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and operating results; the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly competitive; AMD may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD that may adversely affect its ability to operate its business; the products that AMD sells are complex and may be subject to security vulnerabilities that could result in, among other things, the loss, corruption or misuse of confidential data by unauthorized third parties or system performance issues. AMD's efforts to prevent and address security vulnerabilities can be costly and may be partially effective or not successful at all; AMD's issuance to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of warrants to purchase 75 million shares of its common stock, if and when exercised, will dilute the ownership interests of its existing stockholders, and the conversion of the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest of its existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price of its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and shipment of AMD’s products could materially adversely affect it; the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the market conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of these industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new products in a timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property; AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft Corporation’s support for its products or other software vendors do not design and develop software to run on AMD’s products, its ability to sell its products could be materially adversely affected; and AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and AIB partners subjects it to certain risks. Investors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in AMD's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are that AMD has little insider ownership of shares. What methods do you think they should deploy to change that? Maybe a share buyback and transfer it to the CEO under conditions?
I should have sold after ER as well but decided to hold on as I am long with AMD. If I was more confident about my ability to day I would since AMD has been sideways all year. However, their CEO is executing the business plan perfectly and long term AMD is set up to drive forward a lot of business. They may not be "the best" in every area but they are competitive. They need to grow their margins but also make sure they are competitive enough to take market shares back.
I have a 1.13 close and +.10 increase AH.
Well I found myself a little bit of interesting news:
http://www.nwahomepage.com/news/names-and-purposed-locations-of-medical-marijuana-facilities-announced/911028362
"Fort Smith: 13 applicants (10 Dispensaries, 3 Cultivation Facilities)
Alternative Medical Solutions Dispensary, Zone 4"
Same business? I have no idea but definitely interesting.
You should consider working for them haha! You and Fun would provide a better analysis any day of the week.
If I can get in around 1.15-1.25 in the morning I'll be happy. I have recently sold my position last month but last week picked up another 3k shares @ 1.13. I am hoping to expand my position again due to the nice quarterly results.
It's paralleling the market right now which is unfortunate. I had hoped it would of held on to some of these gains!
That is what I was thinking too. It must have taken some time to work out all of the fine print and some time to process through the agent.
Johnny, 1st why would you not be happy a software that has a low barrier of entry is out there. Second, your attitude is displaying implicit bias. You made an assumption which is factually incorrect. Lastly, you'd be a fool to pay more when you can the more utility out of something for free, Econ 101.
To each there own, just be glad we have our little golden nugget here.
Technology is helping bring people into the market as well. ACORNS, Robinhood, etc are truly bringing in the normal consumer into the market. However, I firmly believe there is systemic corruption within the regulatory bodies so it's still dangerous to invest. What FUN is doing is amazing though. I would love to do something similar for my good friends.
They are restricted so who knows. I'll be curious to see the conditions settled on the stocks and who with.
I'm a bag holder and will be here for a while. I have no doubt that it was issued for a good reason. With all shares issued @ current PPS (.0012) that is roughly 1 million raised. I imagine it's being used to move things along that have stagnated. We will all be speculating until a release happens. This could be where we turn the corner or more of the same. I am the eternal optimist and assume it's where we turn the corner. Further, if the share price drops I to a temping share price I add triple to my position.

Reasonable volume traded today. Seems like we are going to be trading sideways until another significant material event happens or we will get shorted down.
Absolutely stunning! That is extremely kind of you and what an outstanding friend you must be! I have a friend who does "travel hacking" which has allowed him to flight 1st class across the globe. He keeps telling me that it's the only way to travel.
That link you sent me, wow. I hope you don't mind if I now share in that dream. I am going to show that to the miss. Hopefully she likes the dream of spending a night in a castle.
A perfect analogy. The more skilled we get at panning through the better the nuggets!
Ireland and Iceland are very popular locations. You should look at myairfarewatchdog.com and Scott's Flights. I've seen sub 300 dollar flights from the west coast to those locations through those websites.
Thank you, likewise. I will be heading out of the country again this year and will be looking for their products again. It's always fun to be in a remote location in the world and find a product of a company you invest it.
I'm off to meet with my partners family in Vietnam and will be making stops in Japan, Philippines, and Laos. Hopefully I will see some product during my travels. I do not recall if GGB is an international brand but I guess I will see.
Also, thanks for giving FUN my email. It appears my e-mail won't decrypt the messages for whatever reason so I'll have to figure that out.
Hopefully we get a nice surprise. I got a partial order filled at 1.12. I am taking another small position. I was playing the tech sector but happy to come back to this little gem of a stock.
Another reason to drink whiskey:
https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/hot-toddy-medicinal-drink-might-actually-work-180961714/
Also, I am looking forward to the 13F and seeing if they are improving their margins. I've seen their ginger beer pop up in more and more places so I'll be curious to see their sales. It's been a while since I last looked at their quarterly report but it may be time to review it again.
Thank you Fun. I am a life long learner so I'm looking at JD programs to enter into next year(the lady doesn't know that's in the cards yet ha!).
The quandary presented by the chicken or the egg scenario is real. It escapes my memory but doesn't ROX have a balloon payment due either in 2019 or 2020?
Also, please grab my email from Soldier. I am planning on doing some traveling this summer and would like to meet you both. It's a present to myself for making it through three long years.
I've picked up 1k worth of shares today. I am playing other moves right now but plan acquiring a larger position prior to ER. I've been a bit busy with wrapping up my second master's degree. I'm hopeful about this quarter. Even though the long term impact of the tax reform will likely lead to a recession it's immediate impacts will be helpful if ROX uses the extra money saved to pay off debt or lay down more barrels.

34,650,000 per year is what they would gross if they were to sell at 1,500 USD a pound. It would take them roughly 6.5 years to recoup their investment. So, the question remains, what are the intrinsic values of these companies. Further, what additional plans do they have in line because as far as ROI goes- that would be a tough sale to me. They must have something else up their sleeve.
Good luck with your add! I am looking forward to the Q report to see what tidbits of useful information are out there. To my understanding, they recently increased the shares out in the wild. This leads me to believe that they are using the capital to grow capacity. I'm going to need to sit back and watch.
Very true and there was a Trump bump for the private prison system. However, there has been no follow through yet.
If we can close tomorrow above .0025, I'd be happy.
