C'mon big green :D.


Do yourself a favor and keep your money in your piggy bank where it belongs. You obviously lack the brains to invest it.

/me goes out and buys 100 shares of AMD for $2200

AMD splits stock 2 times, now worth $6.50/share (OH NOES!!! cheap stock!!! bad!!!)

But I gots 400 shares still totalling $2200

Question of the day for OP: Is higher stock price really that big a deal?

A stock price doesn't mean jack sh|t all by itself.

A market capitalization actually tells you something about the company's value.

AMD reports good earnings today, and their stock goes down by $3 a share.

WTF? Go figure.

Shares aren't about current prospects, they're about the future.

But analysts were cautious with the stock up more than 12% this year. Goldman Sachs said it is becoming increasingly concerned with margins and valuation of AMD shares, Briefing.com said.

I know... But that doesn't mean it makes any sense.

So, yesterday (and over the past several weeks) AMD's future was brighter than this week?

AMD Pwns Intel.

Much better technology and products than intel.

AMD will show its might when Windows Vista is closer to release, that when people will start buying lots of x2's as they are far superior to the intel product at this time.

Analysts probably re evaluated, decided now was time to sell as they were at a peak with a good earnings, and weren't sure it would continue, as margins may drop, and the shares could be over valued.
I would guess they've just finished their good run, with decent earnings, and now people are less sure about the future, and don't think the trend will continue, so now they're getting out of there.
But I'm no stock market expert or anything even close, and I'm just guessing :p

investors think so...the market obviously expected amd to beat earnings predictions by more than they did. therefore, people are dissappointed in the still good earnings and sell

Well, the market capitals of both companies are as follows.

Intel 149.77B
AMD 8.84B

So, like iamwiz82 said, the current stock price means absolutely nothing. AMD only has 398.36M shares compared to Intel's 6.09B.

of course it means something. if we know that both companies # of shares remained constant over a certain period of time and during that period of time prices got closer together, than amd has done well.

They might be better than Intel but I doubt we'll see a huge surge in purchases of AMD chips.

I remember the hype a few years back.
