"Intel tumbled $4.74, or 18 percent, to $22.27 after the world's largest semiconductor maker cut its revenue guidance, citing lower-than-expected demand in Europe."

Doh! so much for Intel ...

just to be fair like i always am ...

"Shares of a much smaller competitor, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), fell $1.19, or 11 percent, to $9.43. on the New York Stock Exchange. "

and to be neutral ...

"Biotechnology firm Biogen (BGEN) didn't help matters when it warned earnings for the second quarter and full year will be lower than expected amid slower sales of its drug for multiple sclerosis. Shares lost $5.46, or 11 percent, to $42.29. "

and to be fair and balanced ...

"Bad news out of the United States sent investors in Europe and Asia scurrying. Japan's Nikkei stock average fell nearly 1.2 percent. European bourses tumbled to fresh eight-month lows. Germany's DAX index slipped 2.4 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 lost 1.3 percent, and France's CAC-40 dropped 2.6 percent."

and to be prove it ...

I knew it was them darn Europeans. I was resigned to not looking at my portfolio for a month but this slide made me break that. Oh well buy high and sell never.

Complicated proofs are proofs of confusion.

Oh...... this is nothing. I still remember about 2 years ago, Intel went from $65 down to a bit above $40. Intel was expected to narrow the range for their revenues, maybe a bit towards the high side, but instead they lowered their revenues outlook. Perhaps it is because that they are lowering their processor prices too...

My firewall tastes like burning. :eek:

Does anyone know how the market share is divided between Intel and AMD? Last time I checked, AMD was around 30%. You'd think that Intel would of grabbed some of this back with the release of the Northwood.

sorry, but I'm still stuck in the Pentium III world

I think AMD was around 22% and Intel was around 78%.

Here's an old Article in C-net and since then AMD has lost some Market share.

The fact that everyone who has talked to you said you're in the wrong would suggest that you're not well liked.

I thought you had your own personal fan club at Anantech, or something? I'm sure you were talking out of your ass, I know you got banned at HardOCP for being an idiot, probably the same at Anandtech, too.

True, but there was a big backlash because nobody (even the admin I talked to) thought it was justified. Kyle just decided to ban him, for whatever reason. Nobody minded when Sk8er was given the boot, everyone I saw post wanted him gone.

It is now a good time to buy AMD. The price has finally fallen to a point where buying it is a no loss proposition. Even if it drops more, it will eventually rebound, far above todays values.

As for Intel, I expect them to gain quite a bit as well. I just don't expect their price to double as quickly as AMD.

As for timing and best value, AMD could drop more before they gain. I don't expect any large gains for at least 2 months, so you could take the "wait and see" aproach to see if it get cheaper, with minimal oportunity loss if it gains slightly.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

If you buy on an upswing you may loose out on the best prices, in fact an upturn can go down at any time. Since it's impossible to predict the lowest price, it's best to buy on a downswing when you think that it's close to it's low, and wait for the rebound. I think both these companies are close to their lows.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
 
oh absolutly! i agree 100% ... but sometimes lol when you want something now you pay a premium so. This year is DVD+RW year. That'll be my big upgrade. Because by then DVD+RW's should be on a downswing around december as you say. At least thats my prediction. i've been wrong many times before though. as for intel and amd chips i'd wait. I would not buy a computer now unless you have like my friend had a pentium nothing after it just pentium 133 lol with 16MB of ram i tihnk she said ... i might be wrong might hav e been 14, or 24 ... not sure but it was low ... now i picked her a nice Dell Demension 8200 2.26ghz pentium 4 with 256MB RDRAM. that puppy is gonna dance heh.

ok enough rambling ttyl
