Re: "Having owned AMD for some time now, what is this expression you used: "positive earning". I believe someone said that that had some in one or possibly two quarter not too long ago; however, I am extremely not familiar with that term. Could you take the time to explain it to me." Go over to the Intel thread and you'll get the picture. Or better yet, buy some Intel. EP

DRBES Re <<I find this expression you used: "positive earning" to be very strange... Could you take the time to explain it to me.>> Hmmmmm, I think you got me there. I once heard that it is related to yeilds and ASP's, what ever that means. I hope it helps. Mani

AMD's earning (or lossing?) hisory in last few years: AMD 1996 1997 1998 1999 Mar $0.07 $0.09 -$0.39 -$0.81 Jun -$0.33 $0.07 -$0.45 ???? Sep -$0.25 -$0.22 $0.01 ???? Dec -$0.15 -$0.09 $0.15 ???? FY -$0.66 -$0.15 -$0.68 -$1.40(estimate). Well, here is the fact and here is the reality: AMD has been loosing big $$$ in last three years in an average rate of -$0.18/share per quarter in last 13 quarters. Since first quarter 1996, AMD only made 5 positive earning quarters, including one 1 penny quarter. Since first quarter 1996, AMD had a whopping 8 losing quarters! That is 2 wild negative quarters for each mild positive quarter. Almost very time people, especially new investors, listened and believed Sander and bought AMD shares suffered losses, big or small. There are plenty of healthy and financially strong company to put your $$$ in, why choose a loser. Remember, when you make a investment, the three most important factors you must consider: "management", Management" and "MANAGEMENT". Please ask yourself, does AMD have a good management?
