RE: Tim, DON'T GET GREADY! I won't get too greedy. One thing I will definitly avoid is a level of leverage that could potentially ruin me. AMD could go to 0 and I still won't be bankrupt. Right now my entire position is less then half my annual income, so even though it is much larger then any account I have ever dealt with (execpt my 401K and I wouldn't be suprised to see the 401K passed in a couple of months) and it is a lot of money to me, if I mess up its not the end of the world. If my account goes from 6 digits to 7 I will probably feel the need to spread out my risk and lower them. As for buying other shares. I have kept my AMD position between 70 and 75% lately. I diversify buy buying other stocks with new money (when I have it), I haven't sold any AMD yet. Actually I haven't sold any of my buys yet. (wish I had sold MSFT I lost 31.5% on that one, at least its only a bit over $300 loss). Tim
