Could be some disappointment about the fact that employee-stock-exchange program has not been announced to set in force already.

From yesterday's SC TO-C (here: http://amd.edgarpro.com/Results.asp?criteria=ticker_symbol&cols=7,0,4) it should indeed be in force already.

Maybe there was just a formal issue that had to be sorted out in last minute. If so, it signals that they feel urged to to it this week, otherwise they would have said so and postpone it until next week to sort out things without any rush.
Filing today, you would not be able to announce it during trade hours without hazzle. So expect the announcement after hours.

Could easily be a misperception of the market in other respect (which is admittedly a very gentle interpretation of AMDs latest actions thisrepectively):

They rang the bell twice now for investors with ears for it before taking action.

If so, the market seems to be too suspicious to believe in that. Or, almost nobody at all is tracking SEC-reports to take notice of what's going on with the matter.

Finally the conspiratious version: The boys playing the stock make sure there is nothing suspicous going on in the stock for three days preceding an important event moving the stock significantly. ;)

"..any ideas on why we're getting screwed on AMD stock today when compared to the NAZ?"

This is good question.
With AMD announcing a $100 million miss in revenue this quarter, and probably a $200 million quarterly loss - their 8th loss in a row - investors should be tripping over themselves to buy AMD common.
the true value of AMD common is $98.50 and and is steal at anywhere below $66.66
Opterons everywhere and mirrobits out the whazoo can only lead to the downfall of Intel and if AMD has to sustain billions and billions of dollars of losses, then this makes AMD even more valuable to investors.
You are loading up your truck by buying new AMD shares, are you not?
