Dark days, AMD share price at lowest ever.

Dead cat bounce in both sales and share price :D

"A dead cat bounce refers to a temporary recovery in a stock price or a temporary market rally after a significant downward trend."

In seriousness the stock has good potential if they can continue a recovery. ANyone who bought in early to mid Sept done quite well

Some people might have got lucky!

if I was really in to trading though I would put a wager on a very abrupt return to last weeks prices, large step changes statistically tend to get eroded more often than not.



i'm really hoping Zen is a huge success.

Yea it's way too fast a rise to be sustained for long. It might not go all the way back to last weeks price but a sharp drop is in the works for sure.
 
Usually the drop off is slower unless there is bad news heh. I'm guessing its a reaction to relatively good results through Q1 which is always a tough time for companies that operate like AMD do.

If I had money on it I'd bet on similar trading to 2013.

It will go up and down and up and down and....

Its used for shorting, people follow AMD, they keep up with all thats going on with them, they study and wait for a time when AMD beat expectations or are launching a new product, often writing poisonous and utterly insane articles about AMD on places like Seeking Alpha and watch for the stock price to bottom out (usually around $2) and then invest just before the (good news they know is coming) and sell when they think the stock price has reached about as high as it will go, usually at least +50%, often double money and sometime even higher.

wait and soon start the whole thing all over again.

This is why no one in their right mind believes anything written about AMD and many other tech companies on investor blogs and news sites.

Welcome to shorting! secretes out....

Yeah... IMO anyone who believes that is a fool.

Too many people have too much tied up in AMD, they have far to valuable a IP portfolio to be allowed to go under.

They are to big to fail, if it comes to it AMD can send the message many huge tech companies are waiting for, Cite; Samsung, Microsoft, Google... will be lining up at the door with piles of cash.

A company like AMD doesn't just go under, too important to too many industries.
 
See, if you bought a £1000 @ $2.77 and sold at $4.35, you could have used the profit to buy an Nvidia card(1080) :D.

AMD won't go under, they'd be sooner bought out. They might be staging a comeback - lets see.
 
They are doing pretty well at the moment, i'm surprised the upward trend has lasted this long and it got another boost over the last couple of days for some reason, someone know something we don't?

I wonder if it will go over $5

I just spotted it...

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. AMD, +4.07% were having their best day in over 40 years, after the company announced a new licensing deal to a chip joint venture in China and reported better-than-expected quarterly results and outlook. The stock rocketed 36% in morning trade, the biggest percentage gain since it shot up 63% way back on Jan. 29, 1975. Volume hit 66 million shares within 90 minutes after the open, already about five times the full-day average. The stock was both the biggest gainer and most active on the Nasdaq exchange. Analyst Ian Ing at MKM Partners upgraded AMD to buy from neutral, and raised its stock price target to $4 from $2.90, saying the new China JV could become the best challenge yet to Intel Corp.'s INTC, +0.32% server dominance. It has now surged 56% over the past 12 months, putting it on track to close at the highest level since Sept. 29, 2014. In comparison, Intel shares have lost 3.4% over the past year and the S&P 500 has slipped 1.2%.
