Ive been trying to get my folks to invest in AMD since I made my purchase of 60 shares on July 5. From the 5th to just a few days ago I went from 60 shares to over 3k shares, then back down to 2750 shares (sold some to pay something off).

In that time frame the PPS went from $15.26 to $24.30 (7 weeks!). But in those 7 weeks, I have been reading everything I can about AMD and its main competitor Intel and posting all of this info (great news for AMD) on Facebook, while telling everyone they should be investing in AMD ASAP!

So, about Mid July, I posted that it was my goal to help 5 people get invested by the end of AUG. I got a positive response! Folks replying to the status staying that they are down, other folks hitting my inbox asking for more information. Im excited AF, man, Im calling, texting, Inboxing folks left and right!

Now, to back track a lil bit, almost daily I post how the AMD stock is performing. Its getting 1, or 2 comments and a comment here and there. I was posting good (most days were) and days in the red, but I day I posted that I lost over $2000 today (ended up being $2800) and MFers lost their minds. I know some are saying wtf would you post that, if youre trying to get people to invest!? Simple, if I was posting nothing, but good days, and one of my people invested and got hit a BIG loss a few days into it, they wouldn't be looking at me all crazy about how Im losing them money. I just wanted to show the good and the bad of it.

FF to a few days after me posting about that $2800 loss and Im at work talking to 2 of my co-workers about investing. 1 acts interested and the other 1 is dead set against it. At this post in time the stock is sitting in the low $18, but I read this article that says AMD stock is expecting to be between $24+ and $29+ in 3 months. So, Im like ole shyt man, yall better get on this shyt now!

Im excited AF (Im friends with the younger one on Facebook, so hes been reading most of the things Im posting about AMD), but out of no where the older one says, yea Will, youre happy now, but I "heard" you wasn't so happy a few days ago when you lost $2000! And then the younger one says yea, he put a little sad face next to it....

In my mind Im like damn, of all the shyt Ive been posting, thats the shyt you hold on to? And not only that, you coming to work talking about it behind my back about it? To Me, its like these 2 dudes is hoping that fail (2 fukking white boys). I was fukking heated. I wanted to run the fade with both of these dude on the spot, but yea...of course I didnt. But, here I am trying to put folks on game, but they secretly hoping that I fail....

Now, moving on to the reason I decided to make this long ass post....

I was in the small Facebook group (25-30) people. Back in Feb. I asked a question about, what have you done/did to generate a 2nd, or even 3rd stream of income...

People are giving all kinds of answers, but one guys jumps in and says I invest in Snapchat(it was at $19 at this time)! He gives a lil run down and I swear, half of the damn group invests in Snapchat over the next 2 weeks. Even I tried to, but Robinhood wouldn't let me (glad cuz SNAP is way down now) for whatever reason.

After a few weeks of posting all of this AMD info on my page, I start posting it in this group as well. Only like 2 people reply, but I keep on pumping information to them. So, Im thinking damn, when homie posted about SNAP everyone is all in, but they silent AF when I post about AMD.

With a week to go to the end of August, Im 4 people short on hitting my goal of getting 5 people invested by the end of the month. So, I pretty much said all of that to ask, have yall had any success on getting non-investor to invest on the strength of the information you have providing them with?

Add a summary breh :gucci:.
Nope, I haven’t given anyone investment advice.
How long have you been involved in the stock market. & what’s your YTD profit looking like?

Hell no. Everybody think I'm trying to RIP them off but I dont really care honestly...I'm building for my kids. If they dont take the advice that's on them...

I dont give advice as to what to invest in but I do offer to teach them how to

People suck ... you have form a new circle with people of similar interests
or eat alone and lie about how you are doing it with your current circle.

Envy is real
