Re: Of course they aren't entirely coupled, and it's perhaps better shown by comparing their IPO prices up until now, which would put the percentage gains at around 2.5X for AMD and 60X (eyeballing the graph) for INTC. However, I stand by my statement that if Intel were to warn Monday, AMD would tank. And if AMD warned, Intel would drop (although probably not as much). Thus, for the short term, they are coupled as proxies for each other's earnings. We'll see how it goes in a couple weeks. For your enrichment, AMD and Intel both went public in the early 70s. Yahoo finance & Microsoft's Investor have only purchased data going back to the early 1980s for most listed companies. You might want to consider being more mindful of your sources of information in the future. You'd actually be up 7,000% if you had bought AMD (60,000% with Intel) when it went public: chart.bigcharts.com I would also consider some charts of Intel & AMD with their friends in the SOX before I made a statement about the two being proxies for each other's earnings. -Eric
