new 52wk low for AMD

14.36....nice.
They went up a bit at the start of the week too. Wonder what announcement they are going to make this weekend?

That's a good bet. The 690G for mobile is about to be released with support for DDR2 800. I would guess theyare waiting for the new 65nm Turions.

So this means it can only get better right?

Hmmm.... analyst recommendations since Jan... all downgrades

24-Jan-07 Friedman Billings Underperform
24-Jan-07 Credit Suisse Underperform
24-Jan-07 Am Tech/JSA R Sell
24-Jan-07 Caris & Company Above Average
12-Jan-07 Citigroup Hold
12-Jan-07 Prudential Underweight
12-Jan-07 Bear Stearns Peer Perform
3-Jan-07 Goldman Sachs Sell

I was refering to all my stocks going down, even Exxon. I own stock in several companies and range them from secure to midrange to gambling. Everything is down and falling, not just AMD.

Read this .

Stocks are going down for lack of pcie 1.1 support on new gfx cards. They have effectively killed themselves.

I think the average broker isn't going to know or care about specifications on the particular product. I know everyone here does, but brokers look at the larger picture.

A single graphic card rollout is not going to account for a wipe out of > 5 Billion in market value.

Delays + merger integration + competition gains + weak cashflow = very nervous fund managers.

Edit: I just hope it gets much worse, before it gets better. Otherwise I have no entry point into this stock. I'm not prepared to jump in at $14... risk vs. reward ratio is not enough at that point.

Why would they want to do that? Surely a buyout would be a bad thing :?

I hear if you buy out AMD right now you get a free:

"I bought the world's #2 MicroProcessor company and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt" T-Shirt

However if you wait until Jan 2008 you get a K10 that is 40% slower than an Intel Penryn.

Great, then AMD could run ATI and Gigabyte into the ground. Combined you could have the 3 major components of your computer constantly be pushed back from their release date, then paper launch, and then not perform and 1/5th the level AMD said they would before their launch.

Never wish that upon the best MB manufacturer.

My 2 cents:

Today they've stated their problem with intel is being solved in the courtrooms (AMD is such a cry baby). I believe they'll insist on that, releasing notes on their advances in the legal arena.

Then Intel will prove AMD is wrong and AMD's stock will open Monday morning at 14.18, hitting a new record.

They will then fire all the engineers, hire a few hundred lawyers, sure the engineers for breech of contract, sue Intel, Microsoft, nVidia, Corel, Autodesk, Volkswagen, FIAT, McDonalds, JC Penny, Green Peace, etc, etc, etc.

After reading the comments, and to be fair to AMD, Mr. Ou apparently has a reputation of having a pro Intel bias. I like that Ou gets in there and defends his posts with passion. The arguments made against him are very similar to the those one hears over here.

I've never liked AMD's agressive PR, both when they were on top and now. However that won't affect my purchasing decisions. I'll faithfully wait for R600 and compare it to Nvidia's offerings and if they're equally matched I'll pick AMD. I'll use that tactical pro AMD bias when choosing GPUs. I suspect they want to sell a ton of them since they've opened up Crossfire to all platforms, even the Mac. That was a good tactical move.

This is getting rediculous. What a way to spoil barcelonas release. time to get rid of the tech planners and the executive staff or shut them up.

Thats just embarrassing.

I dont know about the tech planners, maybe maybe not. Depends on how much autonomy they had and how much "we dont care just get it done" they had to deal with. Im am in full concurance with executive staff though.

I cant help but wonder how big the fall out from the benchmark "incident" will get and how will impacts the boards view of Henri and Hector, and if it will impact the stocks at all.

Well it's already down a good bit today it's at 13.4 down 5.5% But up from it's low

I posted before I saw the news for the dilution request... $3-4 is the entry point.

no,when it hits 12,ill start buying again. If AMD gets bought out, it will be a premium over current price,if its stock trade,ill get much stronger stock, so abuying here i come...

Today should be truly nauseous then it's likely to drop like a rock with the 100% stock dilution announcement and first quarter revenue shortfall.

Well, I sold out early. Took a loss of about $2500. At the same time, every stock I own except M$ is down, but M$ will probably drop as well. This looks like a very bad day.

It's tough to swallow a loss, but I've seen to many people ride a stock all the way to the bottom. Good disipline, hope it pays off for you.
