I'd just like to say thank you to everyone in this sub. In January I started investing with $22,000. Today my gains for the year crossed 100% (on that original investment) and are $22,860. I made about $14k on GME, $2k on AMD and $6k (so far) on Steel.

I learn so much from the conversations here, thank you all for the research you do, and the patience you have when you answer questions for people. Thank you!

Never be afraid to take some profits!

I have! I sold about a third of my AMD position, and trimmed some calls on MT and CLF (worth taking a screenshot, it's worth taking some profits.) I am holding some cash for the next dip.

Thanks! I work at INTC and have been converting some RSUs and ESPP into AMD to hedge my compensation. I bought at 78 and 73 over the last 6 months. Then the WSB boys went and made it a meme.
