   It's off about 75% of where it was two years ago; approx. 50% off from one year ago.

   18 Jan 2008 ~ 10:30pm mmonnin Nearly everyone's stock is down from 1 year ago. Every 3 years or so the semiconductor industry has an up and about 3 years later it has its down. Last crash in 2001, 6 years ago.
   
   AMD is just still paying off ATI. Not including that it lost a very respectable $59mil amid huge price cuts keeping up with Intel
