AMD Private equity rumors return

[BaronMatrix]

FUD is instilling Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in a competing product. Anything else

IS NOT FUD.

Thought I would correct your misspelling for you.

Why must it be a competing product? Can't there be FUD in life? Nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Why must it be instilled? Can't it just exist?

FUD in and of itself has nothing to do with a product, it has to do with Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt which exist in many things not just products. FUD is used to question the credibility of sources which cause uncertainty and doubt about the truth. If you, the all mighty BM, prefer we us UD instead of FUD then I guess we will consider making life even easier for your simple brain.


Here is your new job:

Again with the insults. That's why I do what I do. Just to let outsiders watch how low into the gutter you Brood GIRLS get.

Again, FUD can not describe a rumor. PERIOD. Get a life. I'm keeping mine.

It is funny though how I am the only person here who is glad to talk about his skills and career. It's like you guys are embarassed about your jobs or something.

MR. Matrix! :lol:

Again with the insults.

Oh....come on Baron, don't cry...
Here, grab a cookie:

That's why I do what I do.

What a wonderful explanation Mr. Matrix! You had no choice, so we all must suffer now.

Just to let outsiders watch how low into the gutter you Brood GIRLS get.

Mr. Perfect Baron Matrix, You are the real man with great skills, career and most importantly you can watch in the future.
We have no life, no skills, no career! We are embarrassed! What a shame we are. 🙁
Only you Mr. Matrix, are balancing out the forum. We need you Baron. PLEASEE STAY!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱

I agree and I am guilty of it as well, but if we don't flame BM some newbs might think he is right... we can't have that.

Says you? Well we all know how much weight that carries around here.

Why can't it describe a rumor? Is it because it isn't a product, well we've disproved that theory. Is it because the original context described an IBM mindset? No that can't be it because words grow beyond their original meaning. Is it because you yelled PERIOD. Nope, that doesn't make things true. Ergo FUD may be used to describe rumors and any other information that appears to be untrue.

It is funny though how I am the only person here who is glad to talk about his skills and career.

Quite to the contrary, I am very proud of my career, as early as it is.

 

[BaronMatrix]

Everyone goes off topic to make people look bad, I do it to tell people that they look bad.

That is just plain ignorant.

As far as hugs, don't bring up people's parents. It's tacky. And dangerous.

Thepoint of the post had nothing to do with the offtoic drivel being spewed and I called them on it. You coul dhave easily just said "screw that guy" I'm not even gong to bother. But no you come in with your Dr. Phil attitude as if you are SuperGeniusGuy.

NOT!

Once again you've managed to prove nothing. Here's your strategy Baron:

FUD isn't used to discuss the action, but rather the sum of the action. It doesn't matter if you leak a rumor, specs, random thoughts, etc. As long as it is trying to freak people out and make them buy something based on that it's FUD. So, you spreading a rumor about AMD/Intel/Whatever with the sole intent of getting people to hate Intel and buy AMD is the very definition of FUD. What's so hard to understand about that? Have you been reading my Wiki links? 😀

It is funny though how I am the only person here who is glad to talk about his skills and career. It's like you guys are embarassed about your jobs or something.

If you must know, I don't want to discuss my job because any details might lead to somebody from my work identifying me, and I really wouldn't want them to see that I'm talking to people like you.


What does this have to do with the Privatization rumors, little girl? How did you get to I hate Intel from

ALL HAIL THE DUOPOLY!

Welcome to the Brood. Your soul will never leave.

Yeah, but if some newb is stupid enough to listen to Baron do they deserve to be saved? Or should we let natural selection take them out? :twisted:

We should attempt to make it apparent that he is wrong, but if after such efforts they choose to continue believing him then we shall let natural selection come to its inevitable conclusion, whatever that may be.

That's why I don't now; didn't before; and won't in the future EVER, RESPECT any of The Brood.

What does an old horror flick have to do with anything "The Brood"- 1979
The Brood



I saw that movie on HBO when I was 11 and cable TV was the new big thing....didn't scare me but I recall a similar feeling of disgust watching it that I feel when I read certain forum member's posts....you know, those claiming to know what they're talking about....

It made you want that two hours of your life back much like reading some posts here.

You're the Brood from the XMen series. Better known as the Sleazoids. What you are trying to do is keep your little playhouse filled with the whining of little girls, but unfortunately people like me make the world go around.

We do the work for the work's sake and do it well. People like you do it for the money and suck at it.

I'm never wrong. You paint things the way you want so that you can feel knowledgeable.

It's OK though cause I live for myself, not a little girl in men's underwear.

BTW, how can posting a news story be right or wrong? That hole you're digging is getting larger. Make sure you pull all those around into it.

I'll make sure I cover it up.

ALL HAIL ME!!!

EETimes is reporting that AMD along with several other tech firms are considering privatization.
That would take a lot of pressure off of AMD in terms of their fight with Intel. I have no idea how serious this is, but anything's possible.

Linkage!

Can't be bothered to read throught the hate posts that will undoubtedly fill this thread.

Can you please explain exactly how a private buyout would be good news for AMD longterm, seeing as the most likely long term outcome would be a splintered company and the brand going to the highest bidder?

Private equity would ironically unwind the ATI / AMD takeover, although not along the same divisions as it started.

I see youve met Baron before then.

You are exactly right a private buyout of AMD would have the company filleted like a side of beef with sections going to the highest bidder. Baron thought it was good news for AMD even though it's over a month old. What he failed to realize was the convertible bond deal sunk any chance of private equity stepping in.

 

[SuperFly03]

Never count out PE firms... they are firing on all cylinders lately. That said, I believe that PE is not likely in AMD's case in the near future, but two years out may paint a different picture. You are right that the CD issued puts the PE inkling to bed for at least the rest of this calendar year in my mind, but I could be wrong.

For somene who has an avatar of a brain reading, you sure say stupid things. How could I put the wrong link? It was the right link. There was just another later that said almost the same thing. Look at them before inserting foot in mouth.

Oh, come on! It's crystal clear. Look at your original post - wrong link. It's a month old and talks about AMD being out of cash but says nothing of private equity let alone other firms following suit. The article doesn't even rule out bankruptcy. I was wondering what was going on until atraus came up with the second link. And here you are talking as if you made no mistake.

If AMD goes private, one problem is that it won't be the same company. Right now, they're almost using brute force to compete for market share on all fronts - tit-for-tat performance and pricing wars, fab expansions, R&D process-node races. By the past 8-9 months of track record, it isn't working.

Private equity is more conservative and deliberate. They're not going to fight a war they can't win. So even if they don't replace the whole management team, what makes you think they won't scale AMD back from, say, desktop chips for a few years at least? AMD's employees may be under less pressure from private management, but consumers may pay the price as desktop choice goes down.


How can I put up the wrong link, dummy? The link was right for the story I went to. Nitpicking over whether there's a newer version is verminous at best, an attempt to ridicule at worst.

Either way, the point was that AMD privatization rumors are back. AMD will not get out of the desktop unless mobile grows even more. At a point this year there are supposed to be more laptops shipped than desktops.

The desktop will probably move to the living room while the laptop will be the workhorse for most people.

Baron, IT WAS THE WRONG LINK. Get over it and just admit it. The thread is titled: "AMD Private equity rumors return"

If you were using the correct link the thread would actually be titled: "AMD Private equity rumors returned a month and a week ago but I still wanna talk about this old article"

 

[SuperFly03]

That would burst his bubble and you we can't have that. :roll:

Perhaps you should look at FreeScale or the rumored direction of Micron or any other companies who went private. As I said because private investors only need make SOME money and they don't have to worry about their stock price plummeting, LOSING MARKET CAP, when an analyst loses his nerve.
Unless I'm mistaken as to how shares of private companies work. Since it's not my current area of research, I could be wrong and stock value CAN be affected by public sentiment.

The link appeared on AMDZone on I believe Sat morning. All this because I didn't look at the date? When the new link says the same thing?

Does this arouse you? I hear that certain members of the OTHER gender can help you more than this.
