John, Re: "Just curious, but are you seriuos about AMD being a good buy NOW?" AMD has been a very poor "long term" investment ... just look at this chart of AMD over the last 15 years. quote.yahoo.com In 1983, AMD was at about $18/share ... and today in 1998, AMD is at about $18/share. In the "short term", AMD has shown the ability to HYPE their products as "real competition" to Intel. Many analysts/MM have bought this and would like to see this come true. Thus. I believe that AMD has a potential 25% downside risk (to $13/share) while having an upside potential of 75% (to $32/share). Since the technology stocks have been "beaten down", AMD can be a profitable investment if they continue to HYPE new products like the K6 3D+XYZ AND do not miss major commitments (like shipments to Compaq, IBM ...). At the present the potential positives for AMD outway the negatives. However with this said, all the "long term" negatives are still in place (like inferior process technology, Intel as a competitor ...). DO NOT just buy and hold this stock!! Make It So, Yousef
