Gary,

I have a friend of my who is a CPA. Of course, when the current ratio is greater than 1, that is not a bad sign. What is bad is when the Current Ratio becomes less than 1.

2, or more, for a current ratio is good. Remember, the higher the current ratio, lenders are willing to lend at lower rates.

Additionally, are you sure AMD is at junk bond status?

Intel has a massive cash position and small acct receivables, while AMD's accounts receivables is rapidly approaching its total cash

I'd like to understand this better myself. Does a rapidly increasing AR simply mean their customers aren't paying? Have they shipped product to customers who don't pay until they can move the product? Is it effectively just credit to customers?
