As an investor you want to be able to ferret out when the herd is going off the deep end. Sending emails to investor relations is a fools fame. If you want to get valid information you need to talk to the CFO or a capable investor relations spokesperson (if the company happens to have one). I have talked in the past with Toni about AMD and the industry but haven't been following AMD much until I was attracted by this price drop. One way to make a risky profit is to follow the crowd into and out of stocks. The way to make more consistent profit is to use TA and do your own basic research. Good research includes going to the source and asking questions imo. I don't usually take the time to do that but then good opportunities like this turmoil in the semis don't come around more than about once each year.

You are right in all that you say. However at this point I am on overload. One half of the market is hoping that the economy is slowing down and the other half is worried that it is slowing too fast. This kind of schizoid thinking is difficult to muck your way through. To make matters worse, the two halves are mindf*cking with each other. And then, with all this anecdotal evidence coming in, you have to try and figure out what the herd's going to do next....not an easy task.

I agree.....sending emails to IR is worthless...and I am not sure that you could get much out of a CFO nowadays, given how common class action suits have become. I think you have to trust you own DD. BTW after looking at AMD's chart tonite, I still think that AMD is trying to put in a bottom....although the volume today could have been bigger.

Re opportunity, it reminded of a saying that a boss gave me a few years back:

"In every crisis, there is opportunity."

Hard to remember when the sky is falling but it is so true.
