Chuckles - Re: "They have a large operating loss but Vantis sale will cover that. " I see you know nothing about accounting principles ! Gains made on one-time events are not, and are NOT considered, part of the ongoing OPERATIONS of the company. They are reported as a separate item. Did you see a $100,000,000 GAIN when AMD SOLD THEIR HEADQUARTERS in Q498? The HALF BILLION DOLLAR LOSS will be for AMD's ongoing operations. Paul PS - WHat business will AMD sell next to help offset the MONEY HEMORRHAGING ? Maybe they will sellout their interest in FASL to Fujitsu. After all, AMD doesn't want to be saddled with an operation that occasionally MAKES money !
