JimmyMac - Re: "I don't want to see anyone here lose money so I hope they get out after the next run up." Guess what? When somebody "gets out", you will have helped entice the NEW SUCKERS to "Get IN" - so they can lose their shirt. Your confidence in AMD is showing - "get out after the next run up." I guess you assume there will always be another run up - to be followed by an inevitable COLLAPSE. History has shown this to be true. Paul

To Jim and ALL: re: THREAD CLOWN Please study the following statement from him: "Not now - with you and SCUM bria bringing in new suckers all the time to buy this pig, and take your AMD stock off your hands - no way ! I've sold lots of PUTS - at $10 and $12 1/2 and $15 bucks. You and SCUM bria keep schilling for this dog crap company and I'll let you make me even wealthier !" It is not only insincere and at least naive, it is also extraordinarily stupid, even for him. You buy puts when you are very negative on a stock. You write (and hence sell them) them when and only when you have an extremely high level of confidence that a stock cannot decline and can only climb. You write or sell puts because when a stock holds or ascends the puts expire valueless and you get to keep the premium from the sale. The selling of a put obligates you to buy the issue from the buyer at the strike price and the writer of the put is obligated to absorb the stock and theoretically sell it at a lower price which he has gambled will not occur. Perhaps pAUL is talking about covered puts which guarantee income and limit gain on a short position, but that is not what he has said. He is very capable of fabricating such an explanation after the fact. I suspect that he will simply ignore my post. That is what will serve his interests best. Regards, DARBES
