To all, I am impressed with the technical knowledge of some of you guys, but if it doesn't translate to forward earnings it doesn't have practical value for investors. The 1/5/99 issue of PC indicates AMD had 68% of CPU market for under $1000 win PCs and about 34% of overall market. This is up from 27% a year earlier. It seems to me that earnings must approach $2/sh in '99 to justify a $40/sh price objective. The mean earnings estimate on First Call is about $1.04/share--up from $.99/sh a few weeks ago. Does anyone on this thread have a reason to believe earning can realistically exceed 1.50-$1.75/sh? If not we should probably ride some other horse or sell covered calls on AMD. TBF
