Joe,

In 20/20 hindsight, Options Expiry friday (#8) should have been classified as "herculean" in terms of impact.

I'm really hoping that KryoTech and/or AMD does a news release for Monday. That conference for KryoTech resellers goes on Sunday and Monday (German time), and the agenda includes:

July 23
Reception 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM
July 24
Welcome 8:30 AM KryoTech
Thunderbird Marketing 8:45 AM AMD
Thunderbird Technical 9:30 AM AMD
Break 10:15 AM
SuperG Performance 10:30 AM KryoTech
SuperG Marketing 11:15 AM KryoTech
Lunch 12:00 PM KryoTech
Open Discussion 1:15 PM Partners
AMD Fab 30 Tour 3:00 PM AMD

Also, the front page is making a deal over the new SuperG coming "later this summer", and announcing that the old 1GHz SuperG's are only available for sale through today.

kryotech.com

One imagines they would like to have *something* for sale at all times, so might Monday be the debut of the new specs, at least?

Although this will be a thermal solution, I still think it will be cool (no pun intended) to have a 1.4 (rumored) GHz Tbird system available for purchase.

Doug

Jozef:

I have a slightly different interpretation:
1) (minor) Gateway resuming 1GHz Tbirds is good.
check

non event

2) (moderate) CPI # tomorrow better be in line.
oops

worrying

3) (moderate to major) If INTC exceeds and gives positive guidance about demand, Wednesday could be real nice.
check

Intels numbers blew nobody away - stock traded lower after earnings

3)a) MSFT #s okay.
check

Nope ---- top line sucked - stock got whacked

4) (major) AMD earnings Wednesday.
medium rare

earnings were great but confused

5) (major) AMD CC guidance Wednesday.

good

again confused --- infrastructure still F..... up
no business sku's
no release date of 760 chipset
no durons in oems
no smp



6) (moderate) Stock split declared at earnings?
check

7) (moderate) Greenspan testimony Thursday.
non-event?

8) (moderate? major?) Options expiry Friday.
ouch

9) (moderate?) News out of the AMD platform conference tomorrow and Wednesday.
one bit from Register today, waiting for more...

Again zippo news -- about as bad marketing as u can get IMHO

regards,

Kash
