re:"Thank you for TOUTING & HYPING AMD - to support your STRONG BUY recommendation at $27. Keep it up - you serve as a superb model for the Securities Analysts. Careful - don't cut yourself on that axe." He does grind and wield it so well, does he not? He is, after all, the thread clown. To think of him otherwise, I would submit, is an error. To take him seriously is frequently also an error. Under that fecal exterior there actually lurks a relatively active intellect which occasionally shows some merit; however, you have to put up with so much abuse to obtain anything of merit that most have given up.

"PAST PERFORMANCE IS NO GUARANTEE OF FUTURE RESULTS" This old disclaimer/cliche may help to explain what is going on at AMD now. AMD almost always disappoints; this time they may surprise positively and there are several areas for such possible surprises: earnings expectations are very low, virtually everyone expects delays in the introductions of the various embodiments of the K-7, the Dresden facility is almost universally expected to come on late (and it almost certainly will) If any of these become positive surprises the stock could react very positively in a very sudden manner. It is also very possible that nothing good is happening at AMD. The stock has just managed to eek out a good looking chart and shorts are getting squeezed: God bless them. If anyone has any insights or real light to shed here, please share it with me et al. Regards, DARBES
