- Having watched the Intel - AMD court battles and the radical
- price swings I concluded about a year ago to own each. So far
- the idea that both benefit from the mutual competition seems to
- be true. They push each other to create value. Until that seems
- to wane or there are better places to play the cpu market I'll
- probably stay put. For AMD the things I like to see were: the
- stock repurchase (of up to 5 million shares) and the addition
- of new products (the printer and ethernet chips). Of the
- two I'm expecting AMD to short term (1 to 2 years) outperform
- Intel. It is hard to expect Intel to double again so soon while
- AMD is still about 1/5 as big. The PEs are also more favorable
- to AMD(and yes for good reasons). For Intel the things I like
- to see: investment in research and fab plants. So anyway for now
- my die are cast 12to1 in AMDs favor. We'll see how the chips
- stack up in a while. Enjoy the ride (as they say at the amusement
- park when you get on the rollercoaster :)

- ObStupido - Don't shave an eighth on an order. My call on Sequent's
- bottom missed by that much. Then I used the cash for
- some AMD and drips. Well, until I cash in the gains/
- losses are all paper, but heck a market order would have
- worked jus fine. A mistake not repeated since.
