Fast Money Blog- 7/10/26

This was a very volatile week for tech stocks, which experienced sharp swings. Stocks like Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) and Applied Materials, Inc. (AMAT)  took a downturn on Tuesday, July 7th, falling as much as 10%.  Wall Street veterans continue to be concerned that semiconductor stocks have risen too far, too fast. 

Although the chip sector did regain some of their losses over the past two days, the pullback exposes the risk that comes with having too many shares of these stocks in your portfolio. When a stock like AMAT falls $212 in just four trading days, you can potentially lose a large sum of money. 

There are two very important lessons here:

• Don’t give in to GREED. If you do, you run the risk of wiping out the value of your portfolio. 

• Don’t give in to GREED. If you do, you run the risk of exhausting your margin and being issued a margin call.

Stay Open and Stay Disciplined!
