Scumbria - Re: " INTC has managed to gain a whopping 20% during the same time period, and is now almost as high as it was in the summer of 1997." That's right. And your favorites are all BELOW where they were in the summer of 1997 - WAY BELOW ! Paul

<Your investment in that loser company AMD is now up 60% in less than 4 weeks. That other loser CPU company NSM is up almost 100%. The loser mass storage company IOM is up almost 200% The winner company INTC has managed to gain a whopping 20% during the same time period, and is now almost as high as it was in the summer of 1997.> Remember that AMD went from 15 to 45 in anticipation of the K6 before dropping back down into the teens. That means that AMD went up 150% in six months, then lost 66% after that. I guess with your logic, this translates into a net gain of 84%! (150% - 66% = 84%) Mark Twain once said that there are three levels of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what Mark meant. Tenchusatsu
