Even more Chumpish than those who bought Intel a few years ago when it was $75/shr.
*******************************
O.K. lets play who is the worst bagholder over the last five years.
Intel $75 to $26 Vs. AMD $44 to $9, heck I don't even need a slide rule to figure that one out.



Not hard, just wip out my trusty calculator. Here's what $1000 invested in each at that time would be worth now.

Intel
1000/75 * 26 = 346.67

AMD
1000/44 * 9 = 204.55

Bonefish is right about 1 thing, Both AMD and intel investors who held for the last 5 years, should feel like chumps. The question is, do those that lost more, feel like bigger chumps?

You could also take a look at last 15 years if you want to consider "long term" stock performance.

Intel up 5000% and AMD down.
