Buying AMD stock

[Crashman]

I'm sorry, but there are too many factors at play:
1.) Good news for AMD often results in the price dropping. I don't know why, but I've seen it many times
2.) Nervous investors, you never know when the stock is going to hit bottom until after the suit is settled (win OR loss)
3.) Bad news for Intel often drives AMD shares down. That's because lots of investors use Intel as their barrameter for the IC market. So if Intel looses 3% of sales to AMD on a stagnant market, AMD's value can go down.

I'd say there are too many factors at play right now to call AMD stock a solid investment.

Doh.. attacking my one-man fanclub are you ?

Sadly however, you are totally right, and I feel exactly the same way about it. Well, to give him some credit, at least his brainless cheerleading is for the right team. Probably more luck than anything else though 😛

Sorry i hurt you`r feelings 😱) now dont start crying please...

See what I mean? No originality. Are school-aged taunts really the best that you could come up with? Sad.

I do have a own opinion

Yes, but where did you steal it from? I've yet to see you evince anything uniquely yours.

In the past i also stated that AMD was a better buy then a P4 in gaming !

Besides the fact that this still doesn't prove original thought, was this past by chance during the NorthwoodC vs AXP era?

And sorry for my bad englich, its not my native language, dutch and france i speak perfect, haw about you smart boy ?

Hablo un pequeño Español. (Or is that poco? Anywho...) Most of my linguistics skills have been spent learning computer languages. I know enough Ada and COBOL to get by. I've worked seriously in 16 and 32 bit x86 Assembly, C, BASIC, Visual BASIC, FORTRAN, and Visual FORTRAN. Most of my work lately however has been in C++, MFC, Python, Qt, OpenGL, and HTML. So while I may not be fluent in many human languages, I am still rather skilled in changes of vocabulary and syntax. Were there ever a nead I could easily pick up more human languages. It's just that computer linquistic skills generally pay better. (Or for that matter even have a noticable market.)

And the funny thing is, while I've been reading the DaVinci Code lately, I've found that even though I know almost no French, there still hasn't been a phrase from that book that I didn't understand anyway. I'm assuming however that this is relatively easy given the context and the tendancy of the Romantic languages to share so much.

Oh, and in case you weren't aware...

Tom also has money from intel.

Thomas Pabst doesn't have anything from Intel, seeing as how he bowed out of THG years ago.

Funny how this has gone down, is amd a good investment? maybe,,, but don't bet the home on it. If they win and I see a strong chance they will (they definitely should win morally) but courts don't always rule correctly and it's all we really have. I might gamble on this play not really sure if I will but if I do I would do it with options long term amd calls or leaps. I would cover those calls with intel puts, why? cause tech stocks tend to be very vulnerable to economic conditions terrorism oil recession tech and airlines get hit hard . People have mentioned Intel as the bell weather for tech so if intel goes down it drags all tech or semis with it. This is true for the most part, but if and it's a big (if) amd can bring intel to its knees through the courts that would be a whole new ball game.

I don't know what to say other than be careful and be prepared for the worst. AMD is still correct Intel is abusing its monopolistic powers and holding amd back from gaining market share. I think many here know intel is more or less evil (strong word but someone has to say it) question is how smart was intel in implementing their diabolical plan to maintain a monopoly. Intel has many expensive lawyers looking at how to use the monopoly without crossing the line. if 10% of what amd says is true I'd say intel is far more guilty then OJ ever was. and I'm completly convinced he was guilty. I'm guessing or personally believe all of what amd said in the complaint is true,,, BUT how much of that will be proven we do not know.

The American legal system is good and fair for the most part but nothing can be perfect. Like p4man said "I was not convinced of wacko jacko being guilty" I agree with that claim, jacko might have been guilty and he is clearly one strange freak,, prolly attracted to young boys, but did he cross the line. Hard to say when you look at the con artist parents looking for an easy cash grab. I agreed with the courts on the Jacko case, not that he was inocent but that we cannot be sure he is guilty... I also agree with p4man on OJ,, that case was an utter failure of the US justice system. Too much emotion with a jury being tried by his peers in the name of racial fairness. The black community did themselves a dishonorable favor by letting emotion and past injustices influence their decision on that trial.

So back to the original question is amd a good investment with the new developments underway. Answer is maybe because we do not know how the courts will ultimately rule. Personally I'd be shocked if they did not rule in amd's favor but no more surprised then I was about OJ. If and like I said before it's a big if amd wins the rewards could or should be huge.

Personally I just hope justice is done. By no mean should amd be able to offer HP 1 million cpus FOR FREE and have HP say sorry not good enough.

There is something just wrong with that. I think most here that read the complaint can agree something sinister has been going on for a long time. Weather it magazine being influenced or websites like thg or oem's big stores like best buy or flat out benchmark tricks like baptco.

Time to solve this in the courts.

I personally wish the best for amd cause without them we are screwed.


If I glanced at a spilt box of tooth picks on the floor, could I tell you how many are in the pile. Not a chance, But then again I don't have to buy my underware at Kmart. <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by darko21 on 07/08/05 09:09 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

<font color=red>Dixons is considering legal action in response to AMD's naming of the company in anti-trust filings made in the US.</font color=red>

<font color=red>In a statement released last week Dixons described the allegations as "poorly-researched and false" and said it was driven by customer demands not rebates offered by manufacturers.

Specifically Dixons refutes the implication in the filing that it has an exclusive agreement with Intel. The statement continues: "Whilst we cannot disclose supplier market share, DSG Retail Ltd wishes to categorically refute AMD’s allegation that the Group has “agreed to keep AMD's share of business below 10%” and in fact is incorrect."</font color=red>

Respect, this realy did it !

And the funny thing is, while I've been reading the DaVinci Code lately, I've found that even though I know almost no French, there still hasn't been a phrase from that book that I didn't understand anyway.

I think you did not understand the book, or you understand it different, you think its a story about 7 pigs and a princes eh ?
Next time, get the englich version...




Looks like intel spent more on bribing reviewers to cover up it aint that great than they did in R&D.
Tom also has money from intel.
