AMD was the fastest growing tech company in 2020

Beating Nvidia and Apple

That’s not all though. AMD has signed a deal with Samsung which will allow the latter to use RDNA based technology in its future SoCs, taking on Qualcomm after years of lagging behind. Similarly, in the Data Center, AMD’s Epyc Milan processors and the Radeon Instinct GPUs go toe-to-toe against their Intel and NVIDIA rivals, offering a much better price-to-performance ratio while also clearly winning in most benchmarks.

Good for them. I'm partial to AMD but had to give up on them this generation.

Brand value is a marketing term that a company uses that at best is an educated guesstimate. Here's a pretty standard definition...‘A brand’s value is merely the sum total of how much extra people will pay, or how often they choose, the expectations, memories, stories and relationships of one brand over the alternatives.’

AMD grew the most and moved from 473rd to 287th. If you flip the measurement to $'s then AMD grew it's brand value by $1.26bn, Nvidia by $3.42bn and Intel by $5.08bn. As the saying goes it's just lies, damned lies and statistics.

The irony of the Samsung deal is AMD sold it's handset division to Qualcomm in 2009 which included the graphics, multimedia technology and other intellectual property. Qualcomm even calls it's mobile GPU Adreno an anagram of Radeon Good news for me ironically as I buy a new Samsung S series every year.

Robin Hood limits AMD stock to 1 purchase per person

Many of you may know that there's some proletariat uprising going on at r/wallstreetbets relating to some stocks. As a result the brokerage firm known as Robinhood decided to restrict buying on said stocks.

Well $AMD has been caught in the crosshair, or perhaps it was intentional. Since Thursday/Friday Robinhood has limited buys of AMD stock to a maximum of 1 share.

This is important because it's blatant manipulation of AMD's stock. By limiting buys on a stock, Robinhood is creating artificial sell pressure which can lower the stock price. AMD's short interest (number of people betting that AMD's stock price will go down) has also risen in the past month. AMD also happens to be one of the most held stocks on Robinhood. An attack of AMD's stock is an attack on the company.

Looks like a bunch of fat cats want to get out of their shorts before AMD stock explodes upwards again.

Well since their earnings report on 28 January the AMD stock has dropped 12%. The index has dropped about 6% so it's much higher and some of it may be because of shorting. Only 7.44% of AMD stock is held by individual shareholders and not all of them will be using Robinhood. Plus people can still sell their shares on other platforms so it's a bit of a non issue really.
