Are you joking ? I made money on Cyrix shorting it in 1996 then going long in late 1996 and selling out after the NSM buyout. I also bought AMD 1t $12.25 in late 1996 and held it a little too long but I got out when the IBM "buy-in" rumor kicked in ($29.38). Then I bought back in at $17.25 and $15.50. The trick with these two Clones 'R Us companies is to sell them when you have a profit - unlike Jerry's Kids and the HallaPeno crowd who are waiting for AMD and NSM to put Intel out of business. Paul> If you note, in your post of 10-29-98 you discussed trading acitons in '96, then $17.50 and $15.50, but on 10-29 AMD closed at between $19.00 and $21.25 giving you a nice profit on your RETROACTIVE investment. (You did not give dates of purchase, only that you had.) What am I missing here? Paul
