Bobs, you're invested in anything besides this?
me...
Sure, but AMD is by far my biggest holding. I've never seen the sense in investing in something that I thought was inferior in the name of diversification. So I tend to jump into my chosen stocks with both feet figuring I can get out before the crowd does if things go south. Of course that involves a total immersion sort of commitment to the stock.
AMD today is much, much less risky than it was a few years ago simply because it is a much more developed company. It is and will continue to be much more difficult to get blind-sided with the stock as the company continues to grow. Looking at INTC, the fall has been in slow motion, till now, and the same thing will apply to AMD when the time comes.
