Mani - Re: "do you own AMD to hedge your INTC's" Absolutely NOT ! I own AMD with the intention of selling it sometime soon - to make a profit - before the stock drops back to where it usually finds a "home". I have found that, over many, many years, I do not need to HEDGE my Intel stock. It goes up, it goes down, it goes up even more. My Intel stock just sits and appreciates over the long haul - as any INTC chart will show you (see my profile !). Often, when Intel gets battered down for whatever reason, I just buy more Intel. Tomorrow may be a good day for that - with the knowledge that Merced is getting very close and the K7 is once again a good effort by AMD - but not good enough to push Intel out of the markets that it wants to dominate. AMD needed to deliver a Show-Stopper in the K7. It looks more and more like the K7 will be incrementally better than prior AMD chips - except for the FPU which looks suspiciously poor. Paul
