Lots of new chips coming, gaining market shares from Nvida, and 4th quarters are good for chips..  Wonder if anyone buying. Cramer states that this stock will go to 8 dollars  Right now price is at 5.60 BUSINESS SUMMARY

INTC has a lot of new chips and USB-3 motherboard coming too.   Since AMD is too deeply in debts, they will have a tough time to survive this depression, recession, or whatever.;)

HPQ beat earning estimates

Rise of A Star! One Million By 2012!

It looks tech stocks are heading higher. dont miss this boat!

It looks like AMD might be making some cash soon, but it's certain their stock will go up before their cashflow. If you missed the sub-5 dollar window... well, I don't know, you should always have your own buy and sell prices in mind when you jump into a stock. Take care!

looking good!

AMD has room to grow but not much... Their products are always lagging behind Intel and Nvidia. Hitting 7 to 8 bucks is not unrealistic but the question is would you be able to make more money buying NVDA if you like this segment of the hitech industry.

You could have seen the selling slow down when it reached 4, bought at 4ish and change, and gotten out on the huge bounce it got.

But since you can't go back in time....

Also, that's exactly the reason why I got NVIDIA.
It doesn't really matter if AMD gains market share right now. That doesn't make them profitable overnight. The 4750 x2 is better than the 280 in benchmarks so far, sure. And you can argue that the consumer segment who actually buys 600+ dollar cards right when they come out aren't being impacted as hard by this economy, sure. But that still won't buy them a more efficient means of retaining all the money they poured into getting the thing out the door.

As much as I have always and will always root for the underdog, and have enjoyed and used AMD products, their processor lineup and the current price situation (mid-range processors are all under 100 dollars... ok... profits anyone? Don't think so. Their most expensive offering doesn't even break 400, unlike Intel, with their stupid 1500 dollar processors, haha.) The situation would have to change dramatically, and fast, for me to get in on this stock for any reason other than extremely short-term holding periods and the bumpy rides and are entailed.

Oh, and people have been pessemistic about this company before (it pretty much cycles from a penny stock to a 235983459 dollar winner every few years), but never has it done so bad on the fundamentals for so long.





Wait.
Jim Cramer said what?
Certainly it could go up to 8. But then AMD would have to give some pretty unexpected news... or you're going to have to find a LOT of really hopeful buyers to pump it up to those prices without anything killer down the pipeline.



PS I don't own any of these stocks, and I've been a diehard AMD fan for about 7 years, since I got into computers. And I can't really invision a future where there would be an Intel and NVDA, but no ATI and AMD. That's why my gut instict was to go against logic and buy at 4.25.
Oh wait.
3dfx anyone?

People said the same thing in 2002 when AMD hit 3 dollars which is bottomed then the stock bounced back to 30-40 level after they gaining market shares for few years with new chips and only these 2 years AMD is losing market shares are losing shares to INTC. Since they have new chips, and new management, I believe that the stock will soar back to 20s..  I firmly believe that history will repeat again.

New chips comin next week.

Amd is a sound swing/day trade but is prone to volatile days.  It's a crack junky stock, but I always keep it on my radar. 

I would have bought AMD at 4.35, or BAC at 18.75, but for some awful reason my money got tied up for quite some time and pretty much made me explode in rage when those stocks exploded.
