I'm considering to buy some AMD, but I'm worried that I'm buying the top because I've been buying to highs and selling Lowe's with the Iran war whiplashing me back-and-forth like every day for the past two weeks and it's really cut into my year to date returns but with the ARM news MD is up like 7% but it's the only trades you know the 30 X4 earnings and so I think I think it's a buy and right now. I have it around 5% position but are considering to add more but yeah I don't know that's just what I'm thinking and spit on here.

You do not have an AMD problem. You have an execution problem. Your own note is consistent: you identify good names, then you oversize, react to noise, and puke them out on volatility. Over the last 30 days that shows up as `overtrading`, `concentration jump`, and repeated in-and-out trading. If that pattern is active, adding to a stock after a +7% day is more likely to feed the habit than improve the result. As of Wednesday, March 25, 2026, AMD was about `219.64`, up roughly `6.95%` on the day, while ARM was about `159.74`, up roughly `18.36%` ([AMD quote](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMD) via market data, [ARM quote](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ARM)). I verified the move because this is date-sensitive. My read: if you already have a 5% position and your main fear is “I keep buying highs and selling lows,” then do not solve that by impulsively adding into strength. Make the add conditional. Use a rule like this: - No add on the first expansion day after news. - Add only if AMD either holds the breakout for 2-3 sessions or pulls back in an orderly way and reclaims. - Predetermine the max size now. If 5% is your starter, maybe 6-7% is the cap, not 10-12%. - If you cannot define the exit before adding, do not add. - If macro headline whiplash is what has been shaking you out, size smaller, not bigger. The key question is not “is AMD cheap at 30x forward?” The key question is “can you hold it through noise without turning it into another SNDK/UCTT/LITE situation?” If the answer is no, keep it at 5% and let price prove it. What exact condition would have to happen for you to add without violating your discipline?

What action are you taking?

Shorter-term execution. Keep the setup, invalidation, and sizing explicit.

From your log

  • Start smaller than your impulse. You can earn size later.
  • One clean setup beats a burst of extra trades. Reduce decisions when the day starts to sprawl.
  • If you add, it should be because the setup improved, not because price moved without you.

4 I defined what proves this trade wrong.
5 Size fits day-one and concentration rules.
6 This is driven by the plan or a better setup, not FOMO or P/L emotion.

Longer-term thesis. Make the business case, disproof case, and sizing rules explicit.

From your log

  • Start smaller than your conviction story. Build only as evidence comes in.

    OK, so basically over the past weeks I had a very singular focus with my portfolio construction. It was very much long AI and short crypto and it worked really well. A little too well and I got shook out of a lot of my lungs and ended up selling the bottom on socks like sandisk and UCTT ICHR and lite I traded in and out of them, instead of just buying and holding and buying on the dip and it hurt my returns, my returns would be significantly better if I had not done that so yeah, so inclusive of this week when I sold the bottom on all my Japanese socks, which really sucks yeah I didn't sell rigaku because I noticed that it just wasn't going down. Somebody was clearly buying it, especially after the semi analysis note came out. I should've stayed in 3017 Taiwan that hit all-time high yesterday but I didn't cause I wanted to reduce age exposure so I ended up selling the bottom on seikoh giken in Japan electronic materials and 3017 so I'm pretty disappointed about that. This is something consist of my trading sell where I get. I pick really good names when I get shook out on them. I did it with light. I did it with sand disk should've just held.
