Dear Abby: I pointed a young, attractive, novice investor friend to stockcharts.com recently. Today she emailed me asking if AMD was the company I was so caught up in and did the following paragraph refer to that same company: Management In order to execute a business plan, a company requires top-quality management. Investors might look at management to assess their capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. Even the best-laid plans in the most dynamic industries can go to waste with bad management (AMD in semiconductors). Alternatively, even strong management can make for extraordinary success in a mature industry (Alcoa in aluminum). Some of the questions to ask might include: How talented is the management team? Do they have a track record? How long have they worked together? Can management deliver on its promises? If management is a problem, it is sometimes best to move on. stockcharts.com How can I reply so that my friend doesn't lose all confidence in my investment prowess? Signed, Sincere AMD'er :7)
