Portfolio under the microscope: Closing the $AMD position — disciplined profit-taking
I opened the $AMD position at the beginning of December 2025 at $217 with a clearly defined target of $258.
In recent weeks the stock rose significantly and quickly broke through the target level. Momentum was very strong and the price continued even higher. At $273 I therefore actively adjusted the trailing stop-loss (TSL) to the original target level of $258.
The position was closed on April 20, 2026 at $275.
Overall I realized a gain of over 26% in roughly 4.5 months, which perfectly matches my approach and expectations.
How I view the situation now:
The stock will continue to rise — In that case I'm satisfied that I rode at least part of the move. I'm not chasing the absolute top — the key is to stick to the plan.
The stock will undergo a correction — If a decline comes in the following weeks, I'd be happy to re-enter the position at prices below $225.
From my perspective this is a textbook example of disciplined position management: a clearly defined entry, target, use of TSL, and an unemotional exit.
The only real profit is the realized one.
What about you? Are you still holding $AMD, or are you also taking profits?

I feel the same as Lukáš and plan to hold for several more years. I'd only sell at an absurd valuation (for example, if the stock rose above $500 this year).
I wouldn't sell it now either, and I'd at least wait for $300 to see if the rally continues after the stock breaks that level.
Congratulations, nice profit. I’m still holding AMD, but I’m investing for the long term and plan to keep it for a few more years.
Anyway, it’s always great to lock in a profit like that after just a few months. Keep it up. 👍
