"From my experience on these boards, AMD employees are very angry and hateful towards Intel and their employees"

I've only run across one person who seemed to be an AMD employee, they are sort of thin on the ground.

I guess you won't be back, then? :)

From my experience on these boards, AMD employees are very angry and hateful towards Intel and their employees, especially their upper level management.

I guess I'll wait until after the lawsuit is over to answer your statement.

Do remember that what goes around comes around.

Very true, we're witnessing it today.

I shall be back when Intel is 50 :) but I would never torment a person either way.

I wish you that from the bottom of my heart although I don't seem to understand how it will affect me! I'm using AMD CPUs, I make money trading AMD and I don't have a problem with Intel, Microsoft and so on as long as they don't hurt me as a customer.

I don't know of anyone here that works for AMD. I only know
of two self-identified people that work for Intel.

But regarding employee stock psychology, those experiencing
growing wealth with no risk are typically euphoric rather than
antagonistic towards their competition.

I subscribe to services that I think provide me with valuable
insight and information on stocks that I hold and stocks that I'm interested in. Or where they do a lot of the research and legwork on a company that saves me time. And I listen to other
opinions that I respect. I was long several stocks on Thursday
and was feeling pretty good when a coworker suggested that I
book profits. I did and also loaded shorts (see my post at http://clearstation.etrade.com/cgi-bin/bbs?post_id=7103674 )
and that saved my trading account on Friday.

Back in 2000, I met a technical analyst on a company stock
board and he suggested I sell my company stock and exercise
options and exit tech mutual funds based on technical analysis.
I wound up following his advice though it took me 6 months to
liquidate the shares. I was also listening to Bob Brinker who
recommended shifting a lot of stock holdings to cash.

But in hindsight, I'm glad that I listened to him. And I did
learn a lot about managing company stock afterwards. Especially
in the aftermath of Enron.

Company stock may go up or it may go down. But there are so
many stocks out there that are interesting that there is no
need to tie up capital in something that's in a trading range
for years and years and years.

tecate, surely your memory is not so selective as to forget all the wonderful comments from Intel partisans about Sanders?
