Ted, AMD is acting anemic, while BRCM is taking off like a rocket. Luckily I slammed my heavy BRCM short into a heavy BRCM long position in AH yesterday, so I'm making up for the losses. Meanwhile, four brokerages raised their ratings on BRCM, despite the departure of the ServerWorks head and the competition from Intel in WiFi. This is not a company I want to be long-term bullish on, so I wonder what the analysts know that I don't. Tenchusatsu

tejek, re:it looks like there must be some other dynamic in play Your statement regarding farms and human interactions is correct in addition to bird migrations and the mixing of wild with domestic ducks. Duck is a very common farm animal in China. So not only population, but land mass, gives them more area for exposure to bird migrations. In North America we raise far less duck, so any virus would have to cross from wild ducks to farm ducks/chickens and then perhaps humans. At least that's my theory. ;-)
