It’s hard to believe that AMD is going away, back in time they use to say that apple is going away ( in the 1997 when their stock dropped to the $4 range), but look at them now there stock higher than Intel and Microsoft together after they came out with their new products. (Like I pod and I phone) also one of the main reasons AMD went down this year that they were a little late coming out with their new processor . On the other hand AMD is preparing a dodeca-core chip which is going to kick Intel @$$.

Luckily - Vanguard has several managed funds with VERY low costs with a long track history of 10+% returns. Already have indexed funds which, when the market fluctuates heavily, every day - does not generally return the best and good managed funds can easily beat indexed fund. Indexed funds are GREAT when the market is consistently up year after year like the very late 90's to early 2000 but naturally tend to suffer when the market weakens.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20806766 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:47:40 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20806700 jmorlan :

A managed fund that has a great track record - can easilyy average 10+% in the long run. ;)
A great track record is no guarantee of future returns. It can return 10% or you can lose. Studies by Standard & Poor show that unmanaged index funds generally outperform managed funds by a significant margin. This includes all asset classes including international funds where conventional wisdom supports managed funds because of perceived inefficiencies in the international market.

Unmanaged funds are cheaper because they do not incur the overhead of management and the fees associated with jumping in and out of positions.

In my experience, fund performance tends to regress to the mean. Funds that outperform at first often under-perform later and vice versa. I do not recommend chasing outperforming funds.

For the poster who is in cash and is looking for a place to invest, I would consider dollar cost averaging into a good low-cost index fund. Being over-weighted in cash or cash equivalents is not a bad place to be right now.

Depending on your answers, you might be better off paying down debts than putting money in a single, highly volatile, highly risky investment.

When the stock market is in the headlines, either because of new highs or new lows, it's a dangerous time to invest new money. And I agree completely that anybody who acts on advice offered on an Internet forum is an ass. That includes the advice I just gave.

Stocks are like anything else. Buy low, sell high. So simple, yet so often overlooked and over-thought. :D

It might seem too attractive to buy a stock since we're at a 2 year low, but the economy doesn't seem to be getting any better. Unless you are long you shouldn't buy a stock right now.

That was what a person that traded stocks for us told me, when I wanted to buy into penny stockss. So I spent 115 bucks on stocks that were priced at .75 cents a share. The company folded and I got nothing.

But sometimes, just sometimes it could have gone the other way.

So my advise is take a small portion of your extra cash and go ahead and buy a few shares of AMD. Then take the rest of the extra money and buy Coke stock, or some other long term stock.

I think with it releasing some new products might allow it to start a slow rise again despite some legal issues AMD is facing.

I am certainly not a financial whiz, but looking at its past performance and position in the market it think it is a bargain. Especially if one of the larger players buys it.

However, I have had shares of INTC for over 6 months now and it has performed very well.

I'd put my money down on Intel if you're looking @ investing in chips. Nvidia perhaps as well, if it's still performing as good as I last checked.

But when it comes to stocks, I put my money in precious metals.

I think it would be a good buy. The price, as of right now, is $4.77. If their next gen chips are good, the price should climb.

True, but which is higher, their IP value or the debt they owe? By the time someone buys them, they'll file Chapter 11 and you won't get a cent ... and you'll lose all your stock value to boot. It's happened to me. (PSINet)

I wouldn't touch them right now with a 10-foot pole because Intel is soundly beating them on all fronts and nVidia is trouncing their video division. However, I'm a more conservative investor. I don't like risk and buying AMD is a HIGH risk.

Right about the time the core architecture came out, they've been in a steady decline. They bought ATI (stupid move) and they are about to take an 880 million dollar writeoff because of it. »www.businessweek.com/ap/financia···PNG0.htm

So I am not sure but I believe Cramer telling people to stay away is code for telling them to BUY BUY BUY!

I really wouldn't dump my money into a stock to speculate whether it may or may not get bought out. AMD is in tough shape. That's why the price is so cheap. They can't keep up with Intel's chips. Ever since the Core2Duo came out, it was like a death blow to AMD.

Well considering the OP has broken some of the rules of trade I'll throw in what I think.... I would have to agree with that. For some reason something tells me this is just a repeat of history for AMD. Remember when all these rumors flew around about AMD going under before they released the first Athlon processor? ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794259 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:50:48 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794243 RogerADSL : BUY BUY BUY! :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794243 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:46:58 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794223 Hall :

Holy sh*t ! You're right ! I'd invest every penny I had in them... Their share price is really low. I wonder why though ? I wonder if the "why" is reason enough for them *not* to be bought ?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794223 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:41:42 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794108 KrK : It's a risky move.

AMD has some major financial problems. Even if they are bought out, I can't see it being at a really high price. I'd say no....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794108 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:15:14 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794097 CylonRed : Securities are fine just as long as the horizon for investing is many years down the road.

With a up and down market like the last 5 years or so - well managed funds are generally better and can return a good bit more than an index fund that goes up and down with the market.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794097 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:13:08 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794080 Drex : Maybe the government will bail them out.

I think it would be a good idea to forget individual securities and put your money into a no load, low-cost index fund. Especially with the dow below 11,000.

They won't be bought in the level that the OP wants.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794066 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:07:01 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794055 utahluge : I think there was an article here on BBR that had AMD as one of the companies that will be out of business soon.

If he knows someone's going to buy them out, then either it's illegal insider trading or the news is already out, in which case it's too late to buy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20794003 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:51:45 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793921 CylonRed :

Only if there is reason to buy them out and then they need to find someone who will buy them out. Only way they are going to get bought out for $40/share is if they are already close to that price. They have a lot of debt a new company would have to deal with and that will force the price lower.

I think AMD would be a hard sell when you know you have to go head-on with INTEL!!!

Look closely there are hundreds of good companies whos share prices have dropped and most likely will drop even more!!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793801 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:14:20 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793660 brianiscool :

I am hoping someone buys them out and they shoot up to $40 a share or more.
Then don't buy them unless you KNOW someone is going to. Hoping they get bought is a surefire way to lose your money.

Even if they get bought, they are at $5 share now. They won't go above $40, or get anywhere near that. I'd say if they get bought, you'll see a 10% premium. So you'll see $5.50 a share. When a company is bought, your number of shares aren't exchanged equally for shares of the new company. You get fractional shares of the new company. So, assume your AMD share is worth $5 and they get bought by someone who is worth $40/share, you'd get 12.5% of a whole share of the new company for every share of AMD you own.

In other words, you'd make $.50 a share, maybe. Not $35/share like you're hoping.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793388 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:20:28 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793340 brianiscool : I am hoping someone buys them out and they shoot up to $40 a share or more.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793340 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 07:58:56 EDT Re: Worth buying AMD stock? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20793276 beck : You will now get 3 answers. Yes, No, or Something Else.

I have no idea if it's worth buying now (so I'm a something else). But my advice is for you to carefully study some reputable funds and invest in one of those for long term. You're still young so you have many years to ride the wave. And who knows, when you are old, you might actually have accumulated a decent return on it.
