Chuckles - Re: "Now, there ain't anything that Intel watchers (or insiders) see to counter AMD on K7 - especially after the Coppermine fumble" Three weeks from today, you will see Intel's first response to the K7 - although with the laughALON delays, this will have to be considered a "preempive" response !

Chuckles - Re: "back I had friends at Intel who were negative about Intel and at least one of whom went seriously short Intel and long AMD at K6 introduction. " Whoa ! Bad timing ! The time to have bought AMD was 6 months PRIOR to the introduction. I know !!!! When the K6 was launched, AMD was already on the downhill slide. Paul

Chuckles - Re: "current INTC short is well worth the risk. Yes, I could lose but I think the odds are in my favor. " And why do you think the odds are in your favor? You are already $16 underwater, considering your sale of Intel AND the SHORT ! Re: "If I were to have a loss I would write it off against the profits on Intel over the years and wouldn't even flinch " That is a LOSER's ATTiTUDE. NEVER ACCEPT a LOSS - always fight to avoid it or move from a losing situation ASAP into a winning situation. You have done exactly the OPPOSITE ! You have sold a PROVEN WINNER - INTEL and bought a PROVEN LOSER - AMD. That may possibly "work" in a short time frame, but long term, that investment strategy is a PROVEN LOSER. AMD didn't become a loser for no apparent reason. By the way - The VP/General Manager of AMD's Dresden Fab 30 has left AMD for a "better opportunity". This is a SPECIAL DELIVERY MESSAGE FROM AMD TO YOU. Do you know what it means? Paul
