I've made my point; I'm not sure what yours is?
No one is denying that INTC is still a monopoly and controls the processor market. AMD has always been a long shot, but from my point of view you’re miscalculating the odds. If say back in 1998 AMD was a 100 to 1 underdog today the odds are probably closer to 5 to 1.
I think you mistake me for someone with some sort of attachment to AMD. My motivations are plain and simple; I want to make money. If, in the unlikely case, AMD were to start showing sings of regressing from the progress it has been making I would be out of the stock in a heartbeat.
If you read my posts you would find that I'm as critical of AMD as I am of INTC where the situation justifies. If I seem to criticize INTC more than AMD, particularly INTC's management, it's because they deserve it.
