Jim or Anyone else, Can U Pl. give me few good reasons why I should cover my AMD SHORT position at these prices ? I shorted AMD when it was at $26 and have not covered yet. Although the stock has been showing some strength since AMD's disastrous recent quarter results, I firmly beleive we will be seeing new LOWs on this & several other Chip stocks(except the likes of INTEL) in the next 3 months. I think Wall street has a SHOW ME THE RESULTS attitude towards AMD and I don't think Investment community will be FOOLED once again by AMD's recent FALSE PROFIT Projections. I will appreciate your comments.

Has Intel thrown a wrench into socket 7 motherboards? Perhaps you have noticed the problems people are having with AGP slotted video cards and non-Intel motherboard chipsets that support K6-2-300 CPU's at 100MHZ? Well it looks like a typical Intel monopoly tactic. Intel now has video card chipsets and motherboard chipsets. The I740 graphics chip set appears to be designed to work specifically with Intel and only Intel motherboard chipsets. Companies such as SIS and VIA with their competing chipsets appear to have problems with I740 based graphics adapters under Windows 98. Or is Intel blaming MSFT?!!!!!
