<I think you may have missed out on our discussion of PREDATORY PRICING.>

I haven't missed a thing. I have been reading this crap for a long, long time...on both threads. Problem is that most people here haven't got the faintest idea of what constitutes predatory pricing. The only predatory pricing going on, if any, is by AMD in a desperate attempt to gain market share. The results of their cut throat pricing strategy could been seen a mile away. You don't pick a fight with an 800 lb gorilla and expect to win, unless you are as dumb as Jerry Sanders. Believe it or not, this was not the only strategy available to AMD. It was the strategy that Jerry chose.

<Speaking of which, it has been said that much of what passes as postings by intc longs (with the singular exception of Amy J) tends to be abrasive, abusive and denigrating. You come to this thread, the AMD thread by the way, degrading the company's management, its products and its financial history...>

Sorry if the truth hurts, but some people are interested in these things. I know these observations aren't popular with most of the Sanders apologists here, but you would be surprised at the private E-mail I have received from a couple former AMD fans (a couple years ago) thanking me for helping them see the CPU industry in terms of reality instead of wishful thinking. I think many people here need to grow up and stop blaming Intel for AMD's problems. Most, if not all, of AMD's wow's are of their own making. I'll tell you "what p*sses the sh*t of ME!" is how so many people under so many circumstances (not just investing) refuse to put the blame on themselves but look to others for excuses. Downright disgusting, but understandable....a common trait among losers.

<And then you have the unmitigated gall to be surprised that your
behavior does not make us happy.>

When did I say that. First, I could care less if my behavior upsets you. Second, I said that the AMD followers get mad at Intel for dropping prices to stay somewhat competitive with AMD. Scumbria and others have often suggested that Intel should just have just let AMD take away some market share by allowing the large price gaps to exist. How absurd can you get??
