He Must Be Reading The AMD Mod Thread

The Cost of Delusional Investing

Those are extreme cases. But for a long time Advanced Micro Devices' (NYSE: AMD - News) shareholder base has ranged from the "enthusiastic" to the "fanatical." An AMD mention that is insufficiently glowing nearly guarantees that the author will be shredded on sites and message boards devoted to AMD investing. Heck, even no mentions of AMD have been known to do the trick. The buzz on AMD has always been that its technology in certain markets is superior to Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC - News), the dominant player in semiconductors, and that market uptake of such would propel their investments skyward. Instead, AMD today trades at half of what it did in 1998, and its managers have made a near cottage industry out of lifting the hopes of its investors, only to fail to meet expectations.
