Elmer, Re: Will this revelation affect AMD's stock price next week? The URL you provided give me the impression that anti-dumping law is mainly designed for foreign producers. I believe the case(if Intel really opt for which I strongly doubt) would be pretty weak. Beside, Intel doesn't have to, competing in the market place is what it is good at. Gary

Elmer, RE:"This second condition seems to describe AMD's behavior since the introduction of the K6 and it's derivatives. This doesn't meet the test of "predatory dumping " because it doesn't involve "foreign competitors", however it would appear that AMD is in fact "dumping" the K6 and Intel may be entitled to seek damages. Will this revelation affect AMD's stock price next week?" Don't be silly. Jim

Elmer, Thanks for the article. You are right in that "dumping" can be defined in either case: selling below cost or predatory pricing to drive out competitors and create a monopoly. The article was critical however, of the current laws as too broad and vague in definition. I think the laws are purposely vague to give governments discretion in deciding when to charge dumping against a trading partner. It may not be legally necessary to prove predatory pricing, but in my opinion that is the only case that anti-dumping laws are justified, and it seems that is the true spirit of the law. The free market will deal with of AMD if they don't get their act together within the next couple of Qtrs. Dale
