Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD)

You might consider Intel's flash troubles + claims of an AMD Spansion roadshow in October, Monday's debut of Galaxy, and Intel's underwhelming IDF, Intel's lame response to the suit, and Dell's subpoena response as recent events.

As for "skyrockets", I think that's a bit of an overstatement for a ~15% rise.

Sure, the passing of labor day brings a return of volume, but this notion that there are "big players playing games" with the stock price because of a 15% run-up seems unsubstantiated. Too many X-files reruns, maybe. :)
