Another option may be that there is no intelligent reasoning behind the stock moves. Just stupid fund managers playing with other peoples money.

This situation is deja-vu. We have been betting against "them" in situations before and it has been a great income, at least for me.

It does not get better than this when homo-sapiens run the show. If we would have been so bloody thinking and smart at all times, the world would have been different today.

I got impressed by the guidance from AMD. Many of us were cheering then. Now the stock dives, and I think it is by other forces than AMD's management.

"Maybe the idea is to get the stock prices to align 1:1,
so that a merger by just adding the shares together rather than using ratios of 2:1, 3:2 etc."


We'll find out soon enuf. Monday, if rumours are true. (Your rationale is an interesting one.)

"Seems crazy I know, but I've seen crazier things like AMD dropping 60% for having 50% YoY growth !"

Yeah...that's pretty darned crazy!
