I sold Johnson & Johnson as it was declining slowly for 4 months despite a rallying market. I also made a mistake in buying a dividend-paying stock in the US. After the 30% withholding tax, dividends wouldn’t be very much and aren’t an incentive to keep holding.
Loss was about 4%, or USD $800. Of course, it jumped right after I sold it. It never fails.
Using the released funds, I bought into AMD.
I got excited about AMD because I’m being hearing a lot about how their Ryzen chips are considerably superior and cheaper than Intel. I was looking for a laptop for school, and balked at the $2,000 – $3,000 plus models here that had the specs I was looking for.
Trawling through Amazon, I ran across this. A 2-in-1 laptop with i-7 equivalent processor and 16 gigs of RAM for just USD $600?...
