AMD should have stated in their public documents, of the risks associated with the introduction (technical push) of APUs. Which would cover them against a class action like this.

The lawsuit said they invested money in return for stock in AMD. Therefore presumably the money the investors paid went into AMD, and AMD spent the money in whatever way AMD chose to do so. Depending upon how the lawsuit plays out, the answers regarding how AMD spent the money might be explained but probably won't. |

If it's imbalanced (not being widely traded), sometimes the "jobbers" pick it up (agent/interests at the exchange) to improve market flow, mechanistic liquidity. It's a lot of micro-second trading, anyway, for larger institution means and resources. Computer modeling. A precision formulae and subscription to work within proprietary methodologies. If you can't lose that way, given adequate means (money), there're local (to me, anyway) firms that can be "challenged" for a real-time trading chair, effective to working directly within the exchanges, for pretty close to real-time, no delay "institutional" transfers. Nothing's fake. It's money. No one leaves money in a big box, on some street corner, labeled for fake, or otherwise, so it's always accounted. Although the dramatics of swimming or sinking in a bloodbath are very real, egregious practises are nonetheless punishable and entail prison terms. Not quite the brand of capitalism seen practised in China, where "fake crooks" directly have been intercepted and summarily executed. Here, there's the most lawyers and consequent prisoners housed in institutions, per capita in the world. Having it all, the status and supreme recognitions, minons at call for the snap of the fingers -- I suppose it's too great an addiction to resist -- means a regular revolving door and reserved room at Heartbreak Hotel for many. Capitalism, though it would be a mistake to presume otherwise, literally will strip the shirt off your back. And enjoy doing it. I feel your pain, though. And, I've been to Asia, where there's no lack of love for recreational gambling. (I traded in Asian gold and sapphires at an early age -- like a duck to water;- I'm OK as long as I stay out of backalleys, parts where trade may involve carrying a weapon.) |

To where had that amount of AMD money gone? Back to AMD's fake investors? Unless AMD issued "new" stocks based on the "promotion", the increased interest in the stock simply means that people who previously held AMD stock thought the new prices being offered were attractive, and so sold their stock to the new investors at the premium price. So the inflated prices paid simply went to the people or institutions who held stock. Very unlikely you'd be able to get them to give back the profit they made. In fact, they're probably the same people who bought back AMD after the stock prices trashed. Remember, for a stock price to drop there's two things that have to happen... someone must be willing to sell the stock for that lower price.... and someone must be willing to buy it for that lower price. |

All they would have to do, is ask anyone with a modicum of technical knowledge about the product, to determine it wasn't going to sell. It's not like the AMD description of APU made a lot of sense. The investors certainly didn't do their homework. The K10.5 was a tiny bit faster than Phenom II for some things, but against Sandy Bridge, it was going to struggle. |

Honesty comprises a matter of balances and concessions over a field of idealism involving generalities at variance. A social contract is all that binds honesty. In a natural state, outside from people living together with their many laws regarding honesty, all honesty is but a reason better to survive all else possible that not living together entails. An overriding reason, ipso facto, and contributing factor to why for the most people are now cosmopolitan. Wealth being first sustenance and means withal to survive, for a society, all societies, needful to protect such assurance, that its respective citizenry may keep, to survive by, a common means accorded honestly to acquire wealth. People eventually abandon nationalisms that little respects them, which is why there are a good many nations in the advertising business of selling themselves as best fit for the job. -- 'Ireland only keeps my feet dry.' -Bono [U2] quoting his father. |
