Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

Yes. Well I have a long history with this stock, even preceding my gradual conversion from INTC to AMD starting in 1998. The one truth is that this stock has a nasty habit of returning to form, as Elmer is so wont to remind anyone that will listen. Further, I have some hairs on the back of my head that often stand up when AMD is looking too good to disappoint. This is a result of being slapped around when I least expect it too many times. So, I've grown more than a little aprenhensive of can't fail times. I knew in my gut that AMD was headed for trouble last December, but I just didn't know from where. Anyway, $25 was ridiculous for the stock at that time and I made a mistake.

The good news is that so far the hairs aren't sticking up, yet. AMD is a very high maintenance stock, and even if you are constantly on top of things you can get blind-sided.
