NEW YORK (AP) - Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. dropped hard in midday trading Thursday after some analysts expressed disappointment that the company didn't seem to steal as much market share as expected from archrival Intel Corp. during the first quarter.\n\nOn Wednesday, the chip maker said for the first-quarter, it earned $185 million, or 38 cents per share, topping analysts' expectations for 30 cents per share. Gross margins for the quarter were 58.5 percent, up sequentially from 57.3 percent during the fourth quarter.\nCredit Suisse analyst Michael Masdea, who has a "Neutral" rating on the stock, called the company's earnings upside "somewhat artificial," driven by improved gross margins, which were based on lower-than expected depreciation, lower incentives and a better mix in sales.\n\nMasdea also speculates that although Intel may report weak results, he doesn't believe Advanced Micro took "material" market share from Intel during the quarter, as was expected. Last month Intel warned its first-quarter revenue would fall short of previous guidance, due to weak demand and a "slight" share loss, fueling speculation that AMD may stolen significant business from Intel.\n\nA.G. Edwards analyst David Wong agrees. Wong, who has a "Hold" rating on Advanced Micro, thinks Intel may have only lost 1 percent to 2 percent market share during the quarter.\n\n"Market share losses by Intel to Advanced Micro in units may have been less than we assumed," Wong wrote in a note. "If this is true, the inventory issues (at Intel) may not be as severe as we have feared."\n\nShares of Advanced Micro Devices, which have traded between $14.08 and $42.70 over the last year, were down $3.08, or 8.7 percent, to $32.34 in midday trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Intel shares were up 43 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $19.55 on the Nasdaq

Hey !\n\nI do agree with u that the stock market is falling. But dear, how come u expect the consequent rise in anything, isn't it?\n\nExcess of anything is poison, right?\nand that exactly has happened in this case.\nwell, let me tell u that the correction was expected even when the market had risen to the point of 6000, then 8000 and then after at 10000. moreover, let me tell u this was beyond the expectation ie. of 12000 pts. \n\nAnd that is why the market had to fall anyway. there is nothing wrong in that, right?\n\nNow, another issue to ponder is that it is also because of the increase in reservation quota and the corporat honchos didn't like it anymore. so they protested by way of reducing their stake and that too by way of bringing the fluctuations in the economy also.\n\nBut one thing is always for sure that the short term correction is much much better than that of the long term berrish market.

The stock is still in a strong downward trend.\n\nIf you observe on the chart, you will notice 2 trend lines, one is still showing a strong downward trend and the other acting as a strong resistance.\n\nI suggest buying when both trend intersacts and purchase at that price, or you can drop me a mail if you require further analysis.

Good investing is all about buying low and selling high. Intel is the greatest chip manufacturer in the world at a time when computer chips are in great demand. Some analysts have lost faith in the company but that does not mean they won't change their minds tomorrow. Buy now while the price is low.\n\nBest of success.

Contact google and ask for an explanation.  There may have just been a glitch, not a huge conspiracy run by Google.\n\nGoogle didn't offer stock in the 1990's, they went public and sky high in value after that.   \n\nGood luck.

Apple stock is only 4.7% from its 52 week high price. The market as a whole was down this last week of December. It could be people taking profits or taking losses (if they bought it around $75) before year end. Who knows what will happen in 2006...all I know is that it's going to move...either up or down. MacWorld is coming in a few weeks and Apple's earnings will be out in about 3 weeks. A lot of good news could already be priced into the stock.\n\nIf you're looking at the short term, in the last 5 days, Apple stock has dropped ~3% while the market dropped about 2%. \n\nLooking at the last 3 months, Apple has risen close to 40%, where the dow,nasdaq,and s&p500 have barely gone up 1-2%.\n\nSo Apple going down a few bucks a few days ago is nothing relatively speaking.

What's happening is that nothing is happening.  The last quotation I have is $.025 (2 1/2 cents) per share, and (almost) zero volume.  Stockholders are awaiting new news about California prospects.  Just now is "sleepy" time, but hang in there.

look up symbol ANDS.  It's a high risk drug stock.  It fell drastically recently due to stock option scandal, but it's recovering fast.

Nothing to do with it....... they've been dropping a bit all over the place the last few weeks (or in the case of one or two of my UK stocks plummeting)...... I think it's a mix of the US dollar heading down in value, certain members of financial officialdom doing / saying the wrong things + I've noticed alot of Dividend payments cropping up on my SHAREBUILDER statements lately (already had 4 of them over Monday & Tuesday).

This is hard to answer because you haven't provided enough information.\n\nWhere was the alert provided? (a web site?  an alert site?  a specific piece of software etc.)?\n\nWhat about the stock split was bogus?\n\nIf you are having an issue with Yahoo Finance, this is not where to get support.

Several years ago there was a commodity traded, maine potatoes.  Every year for something over two-dozen years, the price would go up in the middle of January through early February.  Information was not as free back then, I could track causes better today on the Internet.  So I had some money and practiced trading in corn, making a little bit while getting the ropes.  The target was this, the smallest increase was 8 cents a pound, 50,000 pound contracts.  I caught it on a down tick and felt like a surfer catching a wave.  Unfortunately, it was a tsunami.  There were several millionaires who had also spotted the trend and they thought they could buck it.  So the price went limit up, trading stopping after the first couple of minutes, doing this for a few days, then limit down, again stopping trading after a few minutes into the next trading day.  I got a margin call, but it was for more money than I had, so the brokerage confiscated my position.  When the dust settled, the price had indeed gone up as I antcipated, but I was trapped out, unable to profit from it.  For that matter I was paying off that debt to the brokerage firm for years, instead of paying off my mortgage, which is what would have happened if those guys hadn't been greedy.  Meanwhile, it bankrupted something upwards of 100 rich traders who had tried to turn the market, and sent something like 60 to prison.\n\nThis doesn't happen all the time.  Just be careful, you can lose more than you put in, although trading the option MAY limit that.  For instance, even in stock options, if you sell a naked option and things go against you and someone calls that option and you haven't had a covering option to cancel, you are on the hook for supplying the shares.  Be careful of trading too close to the expiration.  I remember positioning for one thing expected to go up, and by the time the events began driving it up, my option was close to expiring, I got almost nothing out of it.\n\nA good plan is a wonderful thing.  But with commodities and commodity options, there is still uncertainty, and definitely danger.

There are two major things that are going against yahoo stock\n\n1) Special love for GOOGLE means less love towards YAHOO. Even though a lot of analyst belive that YAHOO is a solid investment but they all are in awe of GOOGLE right now.\nAlso its a fact that GOOGLE is taking away 'searches' from YAHOO every day.\n\n2) The overall market so down becuase of increasing oild prices , decreasing dollar value and overall uncertainity in international arena (read Iran) that the market has been really down from last 3-4 days. I follow quite a few stocks closely, and they all are down around 10% in last week.\n\nI believe YAHOO is not going to see $40 for atleast 6 more months.

That is called a reverse split. In this case 1 for 10. I means fewer share in circulation that are not 10 times more in price. The value is not affected by a split. Usually a company that thinks their stock price is too high for investors to buy will do a split, if the price is too low or the management feels too much stock is in float they do a reverse split like you asked about.

More sellers than buyers is the absolute correct answer.  Why it's down right now has to do with fear--fear that inflation has reared its ugly head in the US economy and is as yet unchecked.  \nThe markets run on two emotions:  Fear and greed.  Today it was fear that dominated.
