Haddy 04-09-2002 03:08 AM

yea its really just good busniess sense....if compeitors are doing well...might as well profit in that to make up for ur losses

Brad 04-09-2002 04:53 AM

if so intel should have bought heaps of amd stuff 1st august 2000. and sold them when intel bought out the northwood

This is what you do to a competitor, when you have more money.

You slowly buy their stock, and become a large and larger share holder.

Eventually, you own enough stock to influence the company descisions, and if you own that magical 51%, you can literally control the company.

intel is a huge company compared to just about anyone out there, if they wan't to buy amd they could in a heartbeat without blinking

Adam 04-09-2002 02:03 PM

Sure they could buy AMD, but you try and convince the everyone that it's not a monopoly to own the basically the entire processor market.

VIA C3 are perfectly reasonable processors. For keychains.

If you can't beat 'em... buy them out before they become a threat.
