I had to come back to ATOT for this one thread, but I won't stay long. A one year bump just seemed to be too interesting. Ok, I'm one day ahead of a 1-year bump, you got me on a technicality.
AMD one year ago: ~$42.
AMD in the mean time: a nearly linear drop (aside from a dip in July/Aug).
AMD today: $15.66 as I type.
I've said repeatly never to buy AMD unless it was below $18. Aside from a few short-term roller coaster plays (such as from $20 to $27 to $20 in Aug/Sept/Oct), anyone who violated that rule lost money (this paragraph is only valid since I started posting that limit on ATOT in this and other threads). Now AMD is significantly below $18. It is finally something to consider buying. Although, I would wait until it appears to have bottomed.
True, you can't ever pick the bottom perfectly. But, wait until it appears to have (1) fallen, (2) leveled, and (3) risen back up a bit. If you do that at ~$15/share*, then you probably have a good investment. True, it could keep falling, but the risk of AMD falling at $15/share is a whole lot less than the risk you faced at $42/share.
*$15 is just a hypothetical number where you might have seen the fall, level, and slight rise. AMD has repeatedly reached the $8-$10 range. You might have to wait until it is closer to $10 to see those three events.
