Jamoke99 Re..<<Let me address the underlying principle you seem to be suggesting - that if one has significant reservations about an aspect of a company or its operations, one should immediately sell (or never buy) such a stock. I don't believe investing is this unambiguous - there are always questions (i.e., risk) associated with every stock. <<<< Of course there are questions about any company, but if you believe management is lying to cover up more serious problems; then sell. While I do not know when Doug first bought his share of AMD, Jerrys rumored lying must have happened before I bought the stock because I don't know of any lying instances lately. I asked him for any links for proof of that and he so far hasn't come up with any. Lets face it. Most of us here on this board were able to buy our shares of AMD cheap because of AMD's problems in the past. We all also believe AMD will overcome its past problems, and become valued fairly, which for semiconductors is a PE of 40 rather than a current PE of 8. Secondly, just 5 months ago, AMD had a listed PE of 32 - 39. What has dropped us down to 8? I wasn't Jerry lying, because I don't know of any the last 5 months. Jerry didn't start the rumors that AMD would get killed in a price war. Once again, with any stock you own, if circumstances deteriorate from when you bought them, then sell. *I think it was obvious that this isn't* what I was referring to. <<<** Why would it be obvious? That was the main part of my message. << What happens if Jerry does win the jihad. How much will your 50 shares of AMD be worth then? And if you think Jerry can't win, then sell. Who gives a sht?>> Seems to me to be about two notches above "Fk you - get lost". <<< You can interpret it any way you want. Simply put, I said what I said, not what you interpret it to mean. Also Doug has posted this same message many times before, yesterday alone he posted messages with the same theme 4 - 5 times. After awhile it gets a little tiring, especially when he can't back up his words; especially when his actions are the opposite of what he is saying. Once again, if Doug truly believed what he said; he should have sold his shares. He didn't, what does that tell you. Again, I would reiterate the point that 'stoning the messenger' simply detracts from the value of the thread by dismissing points of view you happen to disagree with, but which may be of valuable consideration. << Now how could Doug's message be of valuable consideration* if even Doug himself doesn't believe in what he is saying. Its not like we haven't heard FUDD on this board before. If he believed in it he would sell his shares and buy some in a company he believes in. When Jerry resigns, he can always buy them back. Its not that difficult.
