Paul, Re: "Moody's cuts Advanced Micro Devices ratings ..." Good post ... as usual. I found some other interesting things in that link. AMD's business model of buying wafers/parts from IBM and then re-selling is also questioned in this link ... I believe that some of us on this thread had already discussed that issue. <ggg> biz.yahoo.com "AMD has recently entered into a two year microprocessor foundry arrangement with International Business Machines (senior at A1) whereby IBM will produce K6 chips solely for marketing by AMD ... Moody's is not convinced that AMD can maintain a viable and robust long term business model under this foundry arrangement. Moody's noted that the all of the senior debt issues are secured by the company's semiconductor facility in Austin, Texas, known as Fab 25, which is used to make its K6 microprocessor." Make It So, Yousef
