08:44 ET Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) 19 5/8: Chip maker
posted a Q3 net of $0.01 a share, well ahead of the First Call mean estimate
for a loss of $0.11 a share, vs year-ago loss of $0.22 a share. However, stock
trading lower in pre-market. Not necessarily surprise, because 1) AMD ran up in
advance of earnings, as investors/analysts were expecting an upside surprise,
and 2) AMD estimates have become meaningless. Because company has disappointed
for so long, analysts have no idea what AMD will make on a quarterly basis. For
example, estimate this qtr ranged from a loss of $0.26 to breakeven. Next qtr
the range is from a loss of $0.11 to $0.24. AMD simply doesn't have visibility.
As late as December, analysts were expecting company to make $3.00 a share for
'98. That estimate has now fallen to a loss of $0.89.

Bill - Re: "It is easy to make money with the Intel near-monopoly"

Wow !

AMD trumps their 40% to 50% MARKET SHARE and you are crying the Blues that Intel is a near monopoly.

Komrade Jackson, you want everything to be free to all downtrodden workers - and investors - of the world.

Intel will post profits of >$1.2 BILLION this quarter - "squeezing" those profits from the miniscule market share that AMD has left them.

Re: "All the doom and gloom you throw at AMD has been
dispelled. "

Wow !

A Penny a share and you think AMD has suddenly landed in Pot Of Gold !
