Paul is a career basher of anything not Intel. I think this rivalry among AMD and Intel stock holders is largely mis-placed. The truth to the matter is that these stocks tend to trend together very closely. Yes, a bash on one might temporarily send it down while the other moves up. But institutions and many other investors tend to evaluate the health of the total market and if one is infected then they soon sell the other. If Intel and, vice versa, AMD investors looked coldly at a chart of the two stock overlaid, they would coldly come to the conclusion that they should spend their time encouraging investment in the sector rather than waste energy in infantile bashing of their supposed "rival". The rivalry is more appropriately to gain the pocket books of investors who might quickly jump from this sector to something that appears more stable or exciting. Throwing cold water on the enthusiasm of the sector is insane imo.
