Yousef,
Depends on your timeframe, from the point of those posts.
For instance this one "

"AMD held 20 and closed at 20 15/16. 1 5/8 off the recent low of 19 5/16. So
the recent low held...today. You'll probably get a shot to cover tomorrow."

From there AMD ran to over 25. So if you had covered at say 2O, gone long, then reshorted at 25, you would have made more money.

As far as a profit for the quarter. Things changed. I'd be surprised if they didn't lose money.

At any rate. If you traded more you could have made money on those suggestions. I'm starting to wonder if you really have any position in AMD since you've forgot about time erosion.
I also realize you are just trying to cover your ridiculously wrong assumption that AMD would never yield volume in the 300, 333, 350, 366, 380, 400, 450 and 475 MHz speed grades. Making a bad trade here and there is understandable but missing AMDs entire ramp up from the point of a "process expert" must be really embarrassing. Maybe if you
behave yourself we will let you live it down graciously. <G>

Jim

Yousef - Re: ""I wouldn't be surprised if AMD still eeked out a small profit for the quarter. Jim"
Brilliant Jimmy, simply "brilliant"."

Let's add that to the LONG LIST of WRONG AMD predictions that Jimbo has made.

I liked his $0.28 PROFIT estimate he made for AMD's prior quarter.

He only missed it by 100% !
