Tried earlier lowpsycho to get one off to you. . .the machine, for some reason, went on the blink--somehow cranked off the web!! But you've been trading a couple of years, you say. How does, "Been trading FOR A BUNCH OF YEARS sound with never having 'figured it out," sound??!! Yes, if I only had the $$$ I lost attempting to figure out certain stocks, and the market in general, I'd be filthy rich today!!
AMD, IMO, is attempting hard to out-do that, what, $3.50 - $4.75 range--or some similar range you set forth earlier--trying hard. Traded in 'double-figures' some many years ago, DD tells one! But been hard to 'get traction' with past blemishes and mgt; that, you know, has changed, and I believe it is all for the better. I do not say it will trade "in double figures again," but I do say it is moving along in a rally mode presently.
We'll see how far that theory goes. . .I am impressed with the current management team; think they are wise to move slightly away from desktop cpu focus to greater and better chip development for the future. Their strategy has started to "right the ship." We'll see if they can "get a faster rudder."
(Big-time VOLUME today. . .could stand a lot of that--but I've seen a few articles recommending BUY before this next Thurs' release of Q2 data. That's got all-in-the-world to do with this volume increase. . .I believe).
