Hi f.simons

Holy cow! Today was the first and only day to my knowledge that I have made any suggestion that the price of AMD is tied in any way to INTC and the reason I did today was because it seemed a significant breakdown in INTC, a market leader, when its price dipped below $74, and my experience is that when the leader in a segment falls, others, no matter how rosey their product mix, usually follow.

As I also mentioned today, the ratio of INTC/AMD market prices is narrowing with the advent of the Athlon, an indicator that any interdependency is declining!

You are quite right that I should be happy that AMD is flirting with $30 and I am. I actually think AMD continues to trade in a fairly normal upwardly sloped channel, and any gyrations within that trading channel reflects fairly typical volatility. I am also looking forward to when it tests the upper boundary of this trading range at $37 to $38. It will not be straight up, as we have seen the past couple of days, as market risk, will periodically dampen AMD's current upward price bias.

Like it or not, Intel is a bellweather. Intel can drag down the whole sector. Such is not the case with AMD. This is not to say Intel is responsible for AMD being down today but I sure don't see the decoupling that I feel AMD deserves.
If Intel say would announce weak CPU sales, wall street would take AMD right down with it, I'm afraid. If it doesn't then Wall Street is smarter than I thought.
