Re: "considering that in recent quarters there have been losses with no warnings whatsoever"

A sad but true statement if ever there was one.

Considering they amount of criticism that Jerry & Co have received in the past for this particular transgression do you think that there is any chance that this was just a preemptive statement to cover their asses just in case things went really bad?

Taken in context the statement was made early in the Qtr before prices firmed up and before the delivery of higher priced parts at the end of the Qtr.

I would agree with Kash's analysis as put forth in his last post regarding the likleyhood of a loss this Qtr.

Elmer,
AMD will likely lose some money this quarter but not for reasons you are aware of.
