RE:"The low stock ownership by AMD insiders screams "We think AMD is a loser investment"." Despite your mostly nasty attitude...I agree with you 100% on this one. If the insiders really believed in the company they would hold the stock and facilitate the company making money and garner a greater return on their stock. As it is they just milk the company because they aren't smart enough to make any stock appreciation the right way. Of course this can be applied to a lot of companies... Jim

Re: Compare the reported ownership of the AMD insiders you picked: Sanders none currently reported Maghribi $0 (0 shares owned) Herb $O (0 shares owned) McCoy $206 thousand Why do you keep setting yourself up for this? Sanders owns 234,912 Ruiz owns 4,000 shares (but he's pretty new) Maghribi doesn't own any, but he retired a few weeks ago. Herb doesn't own any, which is a shame, but he is sitting on a bunch of in the money options that he is waiting to exercise. McCoy owns 6880. But your point is well taken, in general this group doesn't hang on to much company stock, and exercises their options as soon as they're in the money - what has made the AMD insiders all of a sudden decide to wait for a higher price? Meanwhile, the Intel insiders have a long tradition of holding a lot of stock and holding their options as though they expect prices to head higher - now, all of a sudden, the Intel insiders are selling, while the AMD insiders are holding, and that's the reverse of the pattern that held as recently as 4 months ago.
