Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

LOL. Given all the compounding, continuous problems INTC has had, going on 5 years now, it makes you wonder just who is still buying their stuff. Whoever they are, either they have an incredibly thick skin, they’re dumber than dirt, they're insouciant automatons of unbelieveable habitude, or they're people trapped in an environment that forbids looking outside the box.

There was a time, not so long ago, when you could say that both companies produced similar processors, or that AMD didn't produce certain products or certain lines. But today, with that rear view mirror image rapidly disappearing into the background it's hard to imagine why anyone would be buying INTC's, problem plagued, inferior products.

I've been through turn-arounds with other companies, but AMD has to be the strangest one I've ever seen. I've been wondering, for at least the last year, how long it is going to take for the market to see what is happening, but somnolent Mr. Market seems to keep on snoozing. Of course I've never had a true David and Goliath stock before so I guess things should be different. Still I've never seen a Hydra that seemed so intent on chopping off its' own heads as INTC is. It just goes to show how difficult it is to depose an imbedded monopolist. It has certainly been much more difficult than I ever thought it was going to be.
