P, Re -- If its not solved by April, the board will force his retirement.. Really!!. The Board are his buddies. If Jerry doesn't want to retire, he doesn't retire PERIOD. AMD is Jerry and Jerry is AMD. The only reason the stock is where it is at is because of Jerry. The only time AMD will be sold is if Jerry wants to SELL it. So you see P, AMD will trade in the single digits and Jerry won't care. Shareholders are not his concern. Stockman

<..force his retirement. How old is he, anyway, and how is his health?> I do not think his retirement will solve manufacturing problems and replace the learning curve. But how about Andy? When he will be gone, the Intel empire will fall apart shortly, as every organization does after years of dictatorship and totalitarizm. The question is how soon? Fred's dirty remarks do not count for the fact that Jerry is fighting against a man who used "molotoff cocktails" against soviet tanks in Hungary. Andy continues that practice here, with his current pricing tactics. There are not too many (if any) tanks that could survive molotoff cocktails... [and continue to make money].

<If its not solved by April, the board will force his retirement.> That would be a happy day for us AMD investors. From all accounts, this man should have remained in marketing.

Petz, Jerry Sanders: I do find it not likely that the stock of AMD would be higher without this man. What keeps AMD's stock such artificially high reflects tremendously from Jerry's charismatic leadership. He can sell anything very well to every one (except sole Intel investors it seems), even to these super way-too-high-paid professional analysts and AMD investors here on this thread. Watch out for AMD stock falling down to what it should be without Jerry. John.
