Fred I do not judge anyone. Hey, if it works for you than more power to you. But what I do know is that Intel equity is not "risk free" but very risky. There is no reason to argue about it it is simply a fact. Cyrx was bought out. And AMD might be bought out as well. But if AMD is not going to be bought out to my best understanding they are currently at no risk what-so-ever. And yes AMD is probably going to post large losses this quarter but it is very unlikely that it would even affect the price since AMD is traded on future expectations. BTW Intel is trading on future expectations as well because neither current earnings nor current growth rate justifies intel stock price. It boils down to nothing more than bets. I bet on AMD and you bet on Intel. You are right that intel performed well in the past. It may or may not continue. Look back in history and you will see that most comfortable equity investments turn into looser and the risky ones time to time do pay off. Just as an example let me point to railroads. At one point it was very safe high return investment which suddenly became a looser over very short period of time. Even the us t is not considered "risk free". And all of the high tech stocks are considered high risk. -Albert
