I need opinions from anyone who's been tracking AMD stocks or has AMD stocks on whether now is a good time to buy.

I had a lot, sold it semi-recently. It's quite high right now, historically speaking (and not counting the late 90's tech boom). They've got a lot of potential, then again, there is a lot of speculation Intel will re-take the lead in design in the near future... so it may not be a great bet. Could go either way!

No, just fast money =) Depends how well it does actually.
 
you shoulda bought it in december, its getting close to doubling 🙂 Now I wish that I had the money to do so 🙁
 
Well if you just want to gamble I might consider buying google right now. AMD has been up around 23% now since their earnings report recently, I wouldn't expect it to go up too much more from here.
 
I've got about $650 in it (purchase price, value is about $1000). I am looking for 15+ years, so I am not worried. I think the shares are going to drop a lot over the next 5 years, but oh well.

Careful with Google, way overvalued and their click fraud management is going to bite them in the a** real soon, among other issues.

While I agree, they have many other things lined up that will probably be released later this year - just search around on google.com, ironic huh? 😛

It was at the 52 week high 3 months ago at about $25... and it nearly doubled since :roll:

and the stock is severely overpriced and almost certainly going to crash.

AMDs debt is enormous, look at their P/E, its worse than goog.
 
I got some pretty much exactly 1 year ago when they were around 12 or so then sold them like 5 months later when they were $15 - shoulda held onto them looking at it now. However I would strongly advise you not to buy now. They are freakishly high, have P/E of way more than a hundred and historically, one bad execution of a new launch or heaven forbid a not so competitve product and the AMD price tumbles (remember it has been way below $10 not very long ago). If you want to invest in a CPU manufacturer look at Intel they are fairly low in the moment. (P/E is also very low)
However never look for stock advice on an internet message board....

I would agree in the short run.. it might fall a little in the next week, but not by much, and it might grow even more as AMD is still very profitable now.
 
I wish I didn't sell 95 shares in mid decmeber for 27.50, but I did buy some at under 8. And to think that i was all ready to buy 1000 shares at 3.5 around 3.5 years ago.
 
its up rihgt now cuz of the anticipation of dell starting to use some amd cpus starting in march. thats prob why the stock has gone up so mcuh recently. id think its too late to get the stock now.
 
I've some that I bought at $14.75 little over a year ago. I'ven't sold or added any additional shares. I think AMD still has another good 6-12 months left.

I've been putting my new money in drug stocks. I added shares in Pfizer in January to go along with my existing Merck shares. I think drugs will outperform the market in the next 6-12 months as I think the new Medicare Drug program benefits the drug companies solely, and I think we're headed for recession in 2007. Since market is forward looking about 3-6 months, I think drugs are the place to be second half of the year IMO.
 
3 week update:
Looks like INTC plunged more, and AMD stayed about even.

So much for a bursting bubble.

AMD is only gaining marketshare and profitability now. I don't see them dropping too much. They will not drop down back to the pre athlon64 levels at this rate. Not unless Intel comes back with a fierce competitor, which doesn't seem likely at this point.
