Re: "Greed??? You really think so? With AMD below it's highs of 15 years ago a greedy person could have done far better with a passbook savings account down at their bank, or even with a coffee can under their bed. You think greed it it? Does this mean you are an AMD investor? If so has your greed been satisfied? Has Jerry served you well at the helm? Might you be questioning your own judgement along about now?"
You seem to suffer from the mistaken belief that retroactive investing is a profitable activity. Despite the many retroactive traders on this thread, I can assure you that it is not.
Do I love AMD? Of course not. In fact, I'm certain I care much much less about AMD than somebody like Paul Engel cares about his beloved Intel. I just want to make a buck (that's why I invest in a diversified portfolio, which happens to contain AMD and Intel).
Sometimes investments appreciate, sometimes they don't. As an investor, I've learned to live with it. If you haven't, then all I can say is you probably don't have much experience. My small investment in AMD remains profitable right now, although it's certainly underperformed the market since I purchased it. Since AMD is at the bottom of its range with some good product introductions in the works, I choose to let it ride.
By doing this, I am not placing a bet that AMD will replace Intel!
Finally, I have to ask myself, why do you care so much. Here you are, getting aggravated because others choose to own a stock you claim to have minimal interest in. Strange, don't you think?
