or can the stock possibly go any lower?
I'm a newb to stocks what would be the easiest way of even purchasing some? also do you just pay the market price per share so if it's at $1.50 per share would that mean you would pay $1.50 for each share
$1.50 x 150 shares = $225?
wait till it increases in price
New value $2.50 a share
$2.50 x 150 shares = $375 and sell?
Count the number of times that a tech company has done an Apple-style comeback, multiply by the number of Steve Jobs available for AMD to hire, and the resulting number is the number of shares of AMD you should buy.
I've been thinking the same thing for about the past 6 months, but it just kept going lower...
The time to buy would have been when it bottomed out at around $1.80 a share a few weeks ago.
I might pick up 100 shares or so anyway... I've made worse purchases.
AMD will probably be bought by a conglomerate of Chinese companies in a few years. With their stock price so low, there is no sense in issuing new stock in order to re-fund their current liabilities.

So, in other words, AMD is a sure thing, since Jim Keller is, at the very least, the Steve Jobs of CPU engineers. He just left Apple in August to become an AMD corporate vice president and the new chief architect of AMDs microprocessor cores. This guy alone makes buying shares in AMD a no-brainer. He designed the DEC Alpha, the AMD Athlon and Athlon 64 and the Apple A5 and A6 ARM chips in the ipad and iphone, and now he's in CHARGE of AMD's processor division, with the full resources of AMD at his disposal. I'd say the chances of Steamroller, or whatever ends up coming out after Piledriver, being a kick-ass CPU just went up exponentially. Normally, one man wouldn't be enough to turn things around at a whole company, but in this case, I'd say it's kind of like Luke Skywalker joining the Rebel Alliance. In this instance, I'd say AMD's fortunes have turned around 180 degrees, and their prospects have very suddenly become MUCH brighter.
I own 2000 shares of AMD already.

Thank god... This is the first bit of real, tangible good news to come from AMD in 2012.
Eh, fuck the enthusiast following; it didn't do shit for AMD's bottom line during their Athlon heyday, and it surely wouldn't rescue the company now. Pandering to the wet dreams of nerds is also an extraordinarily expensive endeavor.
I guess, but AMD doesn't have a design license for ARM processors. It will be selling the same Opteron Cortex A50-series designs as nearly everyone else (Apple and others with design licenses will likely have tweaked models). His hiring could make some of the ARM transition less painful, but it does little to nothing for AMD's x86 business. Even if he were a closet x86 whiz, products coming under his expertise would be 3-4 years out. According to Rory Read, ARM-based Opterons aren't coming until 2014, and it's nothing to get excited about. ARM occupies a tiny niche of the server market, and that isn't changing much.Thank god...

The last time his designs were being used in AMD CPUs, AMD hit $40 per share (back in 2006).

If it were anything else, I'd laugh at the suggestion Intel will be in for serious competition again from AMD, but in this case, I'd say the 'galactic empire' (Intel) just might be having to deal with a resurgent AMD once again.

Well, Intel didn't really scrap Netburst - they kept improving it, constantly, until Core was ready. AMD is surely in the early design stages of the successor to Bulldozer, but they still need to pour cash into Steamroller/etc in order to remain viable until the next architecture, whatever/wherever it may be, is ready for market.
Intel's Core arch is actually based off of the Pentium 3 core. Intel literally scrapped Netburst for an older Arch and saw improvements. AMD could take a hint.
If that happens, what happens to the current stock holders? I assume nothing at all, it stays the same, but just want to check.
