Ivanil, <Some thoughs for the day> Short-witted thoughts I would say. <AMD should get out and stop fighting a losing battle> Following your capitulant's ideas, all smaller software vendors should stop writing any PC applications and give up their business to Microsoft, right? And all others in networking, graphics, and flash memory businesses must stop senseless fighting with Intel because Intel is big and dominates these area as well! How smart of you! <I feel their newer chips like that the Athlon will be neat and innovative products. But with poor management I think...> Narrow thinking. Without the current management there will be no product like Athlon and K6, and you would still pay $600+ for Pentium-MMX 333MHz to type your messages on S.I. <It should sell that division off. National Semi did that with Cyrix and stock took off. ... shareholder value...> Why should you concern so much about value of shares you do not owe? <As for myself I have bought and shorted AMD in the past.> - did not you personally contributed to decrease in shares value by playing stock options on negative side? AMD is a challenger to Intel. If AMD will be gone, someone else will go for fat microprocessor's margins. Some people like challenge and are willing to risk. If you cant handle the risk, go away. Because of AMD's position as challenger, all this whining about volumes, availability and stability and profits are currently irrelevant. And finally: <"Paul did excellent job educating people, especially new investors about the poor management of AMD." ... I agree with you 100% here.> So, did you change your mind about "lunatic" paul? techstocks.com You also seem to assume that investors are newborn kids and need Paul's advice and education where to invest. There is a "strange" correlation however: he always suggests to invest in the stock he makes his retired living from, i.e. Intel stock.
