I have been a supporter of AMD for a very, very long time. The first AMD system I built was an 386/DX40. It was some years ago
That said, AMD has always been a poor performer and not something I would consider in a long term portfolio. But, I am looking at a chart now and thinking this may be an opportune time for a new short position, for a swing position of say a few weeks at most.
IMHO Apple looked in buying them, when Steve Jobs was pissed that IBM didn't kept their promise of making a 3GHZ cpu, but then Intel showed Apple their roadmap and made them an offer they couldn't refuse. That could have been their momentum, but it didn't.
Cool. I have however been trying to find reasons to buy the stock. So far this is what I have came up with.
They are working with Oracle to make their cheap graphic units higher performers. (can't post links yet)
While they have restructured managers the current CEO has 23 years at IBM and John Gustafson is a "well known" tech leader from Intel.
Recently introduced a dual-core 2-60 chip for tablets.
10/1/12 WFC gives outperform rating.
I work at WalMart and up to now many of the laptops that we have had come in have AMD stickers on them. They are the cheaper ones and the greater in amount. I say up to now 11/4. because recently there hasn't really been anything coming in in terms of pc's.
Im still not totally convince in AMD but if they keep doing stuff I don't see why not.
