Re: "You have better odds in Vegas!!!"

Yes, if you don't like risk you shouldn't be in equities.

Re: "Furthermore, if AMD does not succeed it will be in the toilet."

Yep. Mid to low teens?

Re: "Also AMD has customers with needs, so they must know the minimum K6's they will produce to service these customers."

I'm sure you can at least figure absolute minimum out approximately. I'd guess they won't do any worse than last quarter's results. If AMD fails to meet its production goals, the lower tier vendors won't get their K6s.

Stockman: You're statement is consistent with what Sanders said during the 4th quarter conference call. He indicated that this is make-it-or-break-it time. Amd's cash will be depleted with the Texas and Germany fabs. Sanders indicated that AMD will be seeking new funds. But warned that , at this point, there was no turning back. AMD must pursue both fabs and increase yield.
