Re:"Mr Tab, your "roses" are shriveling and starting to smell like "shite".

NewsFlash: Hector might have driven the "AMD-mobile" into the ditch, but Dirk has
pulled it out and driven it off a "cliff"."

"· Intel earned 86.1% share in the mobile PC processor segment, a loss of -1.7%. AMD finished the quarter with 13.7%, a gain of 1.6%, and Via Technologies earned 0.2%."

Not sure how AMD's ability to grab marketshare from Intel in the mobile sector can be characterized as going off a cliff, but how you see reality is up to you. Perhaps you meant server share?

As for the first point, saying AMD smells like "shite" as a result of anything they have done is a bit spurious while the market as a whole (especially the tech sector) is in the toilet. Just about everything smells foul.

I freely admit I am on the wrong side of my trades during this cycle. Just paper loses until the market goes back up as a whole. Luckily, unlike so many unfortunate souls, I can sit and wait because money isn't needed at this time and my position is only about 10k (de minimis).

When I cash out I'll let you know. Perhaps my streak of never losing money on AMD ends. A decade is a long time.
