Keith, all the $$s are going into e-consumer stocks like Apple and Google!! Good short opportunities as I dont think their business models will last as competition increases..Tempted to buy some AAPL puts before they report.

The year in retrospect:

Gosh, I wonder if the tax-selling effect might be stronger for the stock that appreciated last year?

Hmmmm.

I'm not going to argue that AMD had a good week in comparison to INTC, but again it's like looking at a snapshot. Take a look at the 5-year chart it's more like the movie I was alluding to.

I know you're still invested in AMD and you certainly wouldn't be if you could find something else that you thought was going to do better. Further, I seem to remember you being located in Germany which means you have a double whammy to overcome in the sinking $. I assume what comes across, as negativism is really healthy skepticism. A lot of the criticism you point at AMD is very justified, but a snapshot can't tell the story a movie can.
