AMD Stock Is on Fire, and a $40 Share Price Looks Reasonable :>)

So, which is it? Do Tim and Luke ever talk to each other?

Meanwhile, considering what the market did today, AMD held up very well.

Given the conflict, I guess I'll go both ways on MU. The bull in me will buy the shares while the bear in me will sell Calls against those shares.

So today I bought several thousand shares in two accounts at around $32.85 then sold this Friday's $34 CCs for $1.09 because Implied Volatility is so freaking high. Granted AMD dropped a little today but it is still in the channel. If it drops more tomorrow, I'll close the $34 CCs then sell the $33 CCs -- maybe.

Daily AMD chart (looks good to me and I expect it to stay in its channel):


Now when I look at those charts below, AMD is looking pretty strong, and I expect it to stay in that channel. FWIW, SMH is a semiconductor ETF and it tracks the semiconductor index, $SOX.
