Time Traveler - Re: " To gain the confidence of investors back, AMD has to prove at least a three straight quarters of beating the estimate." Piece o' cake ! With the Sharpy and K7, Intel will be sent to bankruptcy court by September of this year. Paul

Given an average competent CEO and his helpers, a company like AMD would easily meet the street's expectation. However, we have a very incompetent CEO staffing himself with a bevvy of baffoons. You really have to try to be that 'miserable', but somehow the AMD management team have achieved that goal. To gain the confidence of investors back, AMD has to prove at least a three straight quarters of beating the estimate. The long term status of AMD stock has nothing to do with analysts. It is dependent on bringing up designs which run at competitive MHz with Intel. AMD has done remarkable job competing against a huge, ruthless competitor with virtually unlimited resources. Jerry deserves a lot of credit for bringing AMD as far as he has. If K7 succeeds, he will retire as an industry giant. Scumbria
