Very nice nice action today. Volume 5x recent average and closed only 1/4 off the day's high. I almost hate the weekend's trading lull. Let's hope the k6-2 400MHz is announced Monday and starts the ball rolling again. Anyone know who was buying the 200-500K blocks?

AMD Bonds seen as alternative to common stock. interactive.wsj.com Also This weeks Barrons MW5 col. 1, last 3 paragraphs. While the stock market has surged lately, the strength hasn't been fully reflected in the convertible market, which is still feeling the effects of liquidations by hedge funds and arbitrageurs, who controlled an estimated 50% of the $100 billion market this summer. That spells opportunity, according to Neil Feinberg, a convertible portfolio manager at Mackay Shields. He says some convertibles now offer a solid alternative to common stocks, plus high yields. Feinberg is partial to Advanced Micro Devices' 6% convertible bonds due in 2005 that trade for 84, providing a yield of 9.3%, not much less than the company's noncovertible bonds. The chipmaker's stock has rallied lately on hopes for an improving PC market. Feinberg is also partial to Mascotech's 4 1/2 s of 03, which trade for 80, yielding 9.5%.
