Instis still holding ca. 3 Bio. INTC shares is probably why!
Seems like the top 5 Instis were clever and dumped last Q.
Barclays ( 37% )
FMR Corp. ca. ( 61% ) !

>> Sell on the news made AMD go red now, and Intel got green of course. How unexpected!

What news ?

Anyway, the daily price action of AMD has followed the pattern of a spike up at the open, followed by drop at the close, on high volume. That usually bodes ill for a stock price. I pointed that out a couple of months ago, with the response being the usual jeers.

INTC's price pattern has been a drop at the open, followed by a rise on very low volume throughout the day. That is pretty much positive, especially after a stock has bottomed. The time to buy AMD will be when it is acting the way INTC is acting now.

The theory is retail and short term trades at the open, long term money (institutions) at the close.

Of course hard news will scramble this model.

The price action has been rather odd since the FED news. BTW, I just learned the when changing an order at Schwab, the order is not suspended while you work away at changing it. I was busy modifying a buy limit at @ $20.00 to drop it to $19.75, when the order filled on me. Since I'm on dial up modem, the process of changing an order which involves a few refreshes of various pages, can actually take a minute or more. Oh well...
