  • Short Candidates For When The Tide Goes Out [View article]
    Thank you for your comments. I agree AMD has the possibility to turn things around, I'm just reminded of other tech companies with products they thought were cant miss and ended up not moving the needle.

    Thank you for your comment. I used a screener which uses actual data from balance sheets, income statements, etc so when you say I am not using facts I disagree with you. Just that the numbers are in the form of a screener criteria.

    Thank you for your comments. I disagree with you. I used INTC as an example because it is the biggest player in the chip space.

    I bet from the close today, until to the end of the year, INTC, NVDA, ARMH, and QCOM will all outperform AMD.

    Thank you very much for your insightful information. I agree AMD's new products could be game changers but I just don't see it moving the needle to offset declines in PC and Notebooks.

  • Comparing Dividends And Buybacks By Sector [View article]
    Thank you for your comments. I appreciate the depth you went into. I disagree with you on your point about Longer product life cycles, I think product life cycles are getting shorter, an example Apple in 2012 introduced the 3rd Gen Ipad, 4th Gen Ipad, and Ipad Mini.

    Thank you for your comments. As I wrote above the Gaming Console Division makes up less than 5% of revenues for AMD.

    Thank you for your comment. I agree with you that AMD has a shot with new products, but I dont know if the console market is enough for a turnaround. According to Trefis: Professional & Gaming Consoles Graphics for this year makes up just under 5% of revenues, so it is a drop in the bucket, and I dont see any way it can offset the declines in its PC and notebook market.

    Thank you for your comments, but I disagree with you, when there is a market correction these stocks will be the first ones sold because they have had big run ups in performance this year, and investors I believe will hold onto profitable, dividend paying companies.

    When someone writes a comment on one of my articles 99% of of the time I always say "Thank you for the comment" but your comment is rude and provides nothing to the topic of my article.

    What do you think investors will dump first if there is a correction?

    -AMD which is unprofitable and pays no dividend.
    -INTC which is profitable and pays a 3.71% dividend yield.

  • Twice In A Year: AMLP Expense Ratio Surges To 4.86% [View article]
    Thank you for the comment. AMLP is my largest holdings, I just recently read a article by a fellow SA Contributor on MLP's and its is a good read.

    Here is the link: http://seekingalpha.co...

    What I noticed was for someone looking for high yield and low volatility, AMLP fits nicely. Yes the capital appreciation could be higher, but its lower because of its C-Corp Structure.

  • It's an easy market to hate, but junk bond prices (HYG, JNK) keep going higher, the yield on the benchmark BAML index hitting an all-time low of 5.084%. The spread to Treasurys - treading water for awhile at 475 bps - has broken through that resistance, and is now at 4.33%. The Fed's role here is well-documented, but the latest meme has the BOJ's easing efforts as forcing a fresh wave of cash into the sector. [View news story]
    My view is similar to yours, I watch this chart: http://bit.ly/107Gt1p

    When the spread reaches around 2.5% to 3% that is historically when it has been time to sell. Its currently at 4.33% so still aways to go.

  • Analyzing DuPont: 3% Yield And Undervalued [View article]
    Thank you very much for your comments. I agree, I'm waiting for a breakout, or a retest to around the $48.50 level. In general I am a big fan of agriculture stocks, food demand is growing every year, so seems like a no brainier to me since DuPont's largest division is its Agro-Science. Just have to pick a good spot for entry.

    Thank you for your comment. There is different management now so past performance means less.

  • Analyzing DuPont: 3% Yield And Undervalued [View article]
    Thank you for your comments. I know DuPont settled but also you forgot to mention that in the settlement yes DD has to pay Monsanto $1.75 billion over 10 years BUT DuPont gets

    access to two of Monsanto's genetically modified (GM) seed technologies, RoundupReady 2 Yield and Xtend and regulatory data rights for the soybean and corn traits previously licensed from Monsanto, enabling it to create stacked trait combinations.

    The deal also scraps the $1 billion penalty, the U.S. federal court in St. Louis had imposed on DuPont as it found the company misusing Monsanto’s RoundupReady technology as well as DuPont’s anti-trust litigation against Monsanto."

    So yes they have to pay royalties, but in return they get technology, and don't have to pay the $1 billion penalty.
