John, pretty weak, you have to change the subject to try to present a new point to defend pauL. What else is new? You sure pauL's basis is $4? After reading Tim Jackson's book, I wonder if it's that much. steve

John - Re: "Let me explain this to you. When your basis is $4 a share, a $67 move is a 1,675% gain on your investment. A $67 gain makes a 20 bagger turn into a 35 bagger. When your basis is pennies a share, like Paul's is, you need exponential notation to describe your gain. When you get a 20 bagger in AMD, come back and talk some more smack." That was a GREAT response to little Stevie Blunder. Paul

Mr.Haire, <When you get a 20 bagger in AMD, come back and talk some more smack...> Now let _me_ explain this to you. No one cares what was ANY basis 15 years ago. It is gone, understand? You have only the bragging rights, nothing else. Some people have made on AMD 6x in less than a year. Your gain on INTC is slightly above 2x. And only because most "investors" have very little sense of numbers, as you just have demonstrated here. And speaking about risks: in case of stock market disaster, the INTC can potentially drop to 1/20 while AMD may go no more than 1/4 of it's current value, to their book values. Now talk "some more smack".
