    Well it all depends what kind of investor you are. I’m a Long term dividend Investor so I wouldn’t touch none of those 3 stocks. I would have to study and look through their balance sheets too see how their financials are.

    Welcome Ken

    Just a few comments on the picks

    MGM has a total debt of 20.54B and a Debt/Equity 1.47 (they do own alot of property equity plus 6.02B in cash), The Levered Free Cash Flow is just 3.39M but I am concerned that it may be 2 years before it can be profitable again, otherwise they should do just fine.

    SAVE has a total debt if 3.69B, a Debt/Equity 165.34 and a negative Levered Free Cash Flow of -348.24M. It may be concerning that there is not enough cash to cover the debt. Current Total Cash is 894.43M so they will be ok for a little while, Also the next 5Y EPS is estimated at -14.8%. Most of the airline stocks are in a bad place right now, especially with the high debt. Not all will survive.

    AMD a much better company. Total Debt of just 699M and a Levered Free Cash Flow 549.25M, and 1.38B in cash so they are in solid condition and should do just fine. The semi's have rallied hard and the current P/E is a whopping 131.45.The forward P/E is a more reasonable 35.24, assuming they can deliver on an EPS estimated growth of 35.56% for the next 5 years. It might not hurt to wait on a better price for entry.


    Just my 2 cents however

    Buying a single stock takes alot of studying and understanding of the business. It’s not as simple as buying a rock.

    That is trading.

    Investors can buy a company, hold it for their lifetime, will it to someone when they pass, and have cash flow during their lifetime.

    Traders surf an ocean of rising and falling random numbers on their screen in a form of gambling.
