What do you guys think of AMD stock right now?

Never catch a falling knife.

I wouldnt buy it now. If you think its gonna go up in the future, wait for it to start moving up. Predicting the bottom is impossible. Jumping on the for the ride to the top is much easier to time.

like all the bad press apple got over some dodgey accounting practice and stocks went down, jobs opens his trap about dropping DRM and now theyre going back up?

But those items go into models and other perceptions. Accounting practices could have lead to massive restatements, write-down of stockholder equity, future sanctions...etc. Also, a lot more risk. More risk means more repricing of future gains = future gains are worth less = stock goes down.

As far as DRM, that'll aid in the proliferation of Ipods, in many people's eyes, leading to more revenue = stock price goes up.

People mention the cost of new fabs and the lag in manufacturing process of AMD, but they have ALWAYS been building new fabs and have always been behind Intel in the most advanced manufacturing process. One key ingredient that's being ignored is that Dell just started selling AMD, and AMD managed a coup with tagging onto Microsoft's Vista promotions (saw one last night on TV -- had an AMD logo with "The Smarter Choice" or something like that underneath). Their sales should rise based on those facts.

I think they are also trying to beat Intel to the punch in brand marketing to the masses in China.

EDIT: Ie, flooding the Chinese market with cheap chips.
