I bought my first AMD while still at Intel in November 1998, after learning the first details about K7. Few months later I was completely out of INTC. There was a remote chance of credible competition to the monopoly -- the risk I was not willing to take. I've heard the "monopoly argument" a lot of times... I'm not convinced it holds water. By getting out of Intel in 1998, you missed a lot of profit in holding Intel. I bought and sold several times from 1998-2000 and made a fair amount of money each time. Holding AMD long through that same time period would have netted nothing (unless you played the couple of peaks on AMD).
