Mad ALbert - Re: "I humbly admit that the only reason I did so well on AMD is that you kept repeating my "AMD got potential" bit. " AS we all know, you sold your Intel stock in early 1995 - right after the FDIV problem and bought AMD. So, you were UNDERWATER with that AMD investment for FOUR YEARS- and only made a profit in the last year ! AMD at $90 today gives you about a 2.57X gain - from the $35 range where you bought it in 1995/ Now the BAD NEWS - when you sold your Intel to buy your AMD in 1995, Intel was selling at $60 - according to you - and that has to be corrected for THREE 2-for-1 splits that have since occurred - making your Intel sale at 60/8 = $7.5. Now, Mad Albert, that $7.50/share you sold your Intel for is now worth $144, 0r 19.1X = 1,910% - gain !!! So here you are - acting again like the grinning fool that you are - sitting on a 2.57X AMD gain and LOSING OUT on a 19.1 X gain !!! And you call that DOING WELL on AMD !!! Ha !!! DO you know how STUPID that makes you look ? I suggest the use of a mirror !! Regards -Paul
