Time to buy AMD shares?

Cliff - Dell may buy alienware, they explain why they think this, and seems a plausible idea.

Alienware use AMD a lot => Dell can start to talk to AMD, but have an excuse if Intel gets bitchey.

Also, it means AMD can slowly scale up to be able to meet the eventual demands should Dell integrate the CPUs fully in place of intels offerings. Obviously this would result in a huge increase in sales for AMD, and also, doubtless increase public awareness that a PC doesn't have to have an intel logo stamped on it, which could also boost sales. Profits could be on the up for AMD, and share price may explode if Dell starts talking more seriously about turning to AMD...

So, could it be a good idea?

Discuss. 🙂

Alienware being an extreme premium brand, i dont see how dell aquiring an AMD brand would actually change sales much.

The stock is pretty volatile, but you can go for it... its near a 52 week high isnt it?

The bigger deal is google buying a TON of AMD based servers, analysts predict that its going make them beat earnings projections, still buying near the high is bad.

Edit: clarification.

Conroe is going to be a killer, so I may be wiser to buy INTC stock....But then IANASB.

you think the market hasn't discounted the information you already have? anything beyond that is speculation.

There is still room for growth on this stock....maybe to $45 at least. But you missed a big buy time a month ago just before they had Q2 (was it Q2?) earnings reported...thats when it shot up from like 33-40ish.

The time to buy AMD stock was right before the Athlon 64/Opteron launched.

Lol, I bought amd 04/28/2005 @ 14.30,

I'm up 187.18 %

I'll buy intel when it hits 18..

just fyi I sold 1/4 last week at 40.65. Could have made more but still.. I still own a lot. I'll let it go if it hits 50

It's a little late for that now, if you ask me.

I'm not an expert, and I own AMD shares so I hope it goes up, but, historically just the slightest bit of bad news AMD's way and it tanks. INTC released some bad news today and only dropped a bit.

AMD being at 40, I think you have a much higher chance that it's going to drop back into the low 30's before it climbs higher into the 40's. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

AMD is at/near it's 52 week high, lol. So no, not time to buy AMD.
