Afterthought: The stock acts like Doug is wrong in putting K8L in 2008, but that he's right about buying back some AMD again :)

Doug's argument has shifted from whether the double-wide FPU will be out in '07 to whether it will be in the first AMD quad-core chip.

Either way, AMD just reiterated (in the slide that started this thread) that the double-wide FPU core will be an '07 product.

Rephrasing points already made as defense against rephrased points is of no value.

Why not also direct this to those who are making the rephrased points back to me, then? It seems that if a collection of individuals are all responding to me, and I reply to each of them, why is it that I'm the problem? Why aren't they as a group equally "of no value"? My guess is that it's because I hold an unpopular view.

I happen to believe that people who complain about post volume should learn to use the ignore function, and pay to have it, if they don't. I also believe that their complaints are a false front for objection to bearish viewpoints. Many of these same folks also favor additional "tyranny of the majority" rules that would ensure the thread becomes a consensus of bullish groupthink. It's a very odd position to hold for an investor, this sports fan mentality.

Regarding your afterthought, I doubt that many investors in the stock trade it on the basis of K8L timing yet, even if they should.
