  • Repricing Employee Stock Options: Disingenuous and Disrespectful [View article]
    Although repricing options is troubling to say the least, there is a real issue with retaining key employees. For those employees who can get a job offer with new low-priced options at another company, what can current management do to retain the employee? Repricing options would clearly help level the playing field.

    Maybe repricing needs to be done more selectively, and perhaps not at all for executives.

  • AMD Product Ramp-up and New Factory Plan: What Gives? [View article]
    I find the reasons the author offers to be less compelling than (1) AMD's poor execution, (2) AMD's significant manufacturing disadvantage vs. Intel.

    Further, Graphics is a very resource-intensive and dynamic field. It's not like you design a graphics chip and you're done. GPU market obsoletes and renews itself far faster than CPU.

  • AMD: Asset Sales To Deleverage Balance Sheet [View article]
    What would be an example of "monetizing the graphics chip business"? Surely not selling ATI? They just bought it!
