And right on time as usual in any positive thread about AMD.
Jumped in at $1.80 something. AMD is too big to fail. That low, you should buy. Someone would buy them before they fold.
Opinions (which you expressed) aren't factsAnd people who are against facts have an issue with facts again. Shocking.

What do you do as a finance guy?
Opinions (which you expressed) aren't facts
Zen looks very promising. Rumor has it that Intel feels threatend enough to do a Kaby-Lake makeover.
Also the stock was so low...there was no way but up essentially.
A lot is riding on Zens success, but we can hope that this will break Intel dominance at least enough to get a competition going again.

dr_rus appearing in AMD threads is a FACT!
I have no idea how AMD does it. It's been on death watch for years, but it keeps continuing somehow.
The fact that their stock could not go lower as it actually could not go lower no matter how hard they tried to push it for about three years is an opinion?
The fact that they aren't out of the woods yet because they haven't actually launched anything radically new yet and we don't know how it will affect their financials once launched yet is an opinion?
Okay then, enjoy your magic world with fairies and unicorns. Just do me a favor - don't pretend to understand what I'm saying.
No, that's an opinion and a wrong one at that.
Apu for PS4 and Xbox one, gpu for Wii U (which I am sure contributed a lot to their stock prices).Cpu for the consoles with the exception of the Switch.
Stocks aren't linked to reality. It's best to view them as adult baseball cards. Price is tied to emotion as much as financial numbers.
There's a correlation of various things that are somewhat promising for AMD at the moment, driving up interest in the company and thus, stock prices.
PS4 and Xbox One are now proven successes, and have released new iterations on their base level hardware in the last year, with promises of future, even more powerful iterations still on the way. The RX 400 series has increased their sales from previous years, even if unable to increase AMD's overall market share (though that's more down to just how well Nvidia has done with Pascal, as I understand it), and the potential for Vulkan leaves room for performance growth. AMD are launching a new line of CPUs for the first time in years, promising a long overdue challenge to Intel, and promising a new set of GPUs that might be able to compete with Nvidia's high end hardware.
All of that put together is perfect fuel for something as speculation driven as stock prices; the question is how well these gains'll hold in the long run.

dude why are you not selling?? take that money and run!
They are too big too fail as stated. I work for one of the companies you named and that's why I stated this. They would get bought by someone and please don't forget to throw Apple and Taiwanese Simiconductor in as potential buyers.Erm.......take a look at their balance sheet. It's out in the public.
if they really go under, i think only Qualcomm or Samsung or maybe even microsoft will buy them.
Both intel and Nvidia cannot/will not buy AMD due to anti-competition ruling.......though i think Nvidia will not even bother to waste that money even they were allowed to.

So what is it that's pushing it up? Their graphics cards market, or the console APU deals they have?
Or Scorpio?
Ain't that the truth. I'd say this moment in the history of mankind is one when it's easiest to become richer if you're already rich.Takes money to make money.
I'm somewhat salty about not buying AMD stock when it was $2.35.
They're capturing the low end market, and if PC gaming is going to expand, it's in the low end before people jump in on the high end. They have the most potential for growth.
MS don't want hardware IPs. They've never been good at using them, and the current leadership know that.Wasn't there news of a potential MS buyout at some point?

Only somebody like Samsung, who are entirely willing to go nuclear on licences, would want to buy them and have the cash on hand to afford it. AMD's IP library is second only to nVidia's own.

context is key....AMD is so cheap in early 2016 and quadrupling seems like more than possible......also remember, AMD has ALOT of debt.....more than the industry average......for anyone else, DO NOT buy and i don't think AMD will ever go beyond $15.
not to piss on the AMD party here here's my NVDA portfolio, a company with ZERO debt, BILLIONS in cash, and dividends for investors....all eyes on nvidia this thursday earning call....last quarter earning call and crazy rally is some of the craziest i've ever seen..
Also their cash to debt ratio isn't that bad, they could practically pay off all their debt now if they wanted to.
There were fairly advanced rumours last year, IIRC, that Microsoft was pursuing an acquisition. Don't think they went anywhere though.
How do you research what to buy stocks in? Surely if there's a good time to buy stock then everyone will know and it'll make the whole thing pointless.
Check technical indicators, balance sheets, rumors/word of mouth. Look into the markets that a company is in, and recognize key areas of growth.
