On CAPS, 18% of the 764 All-Star members who have rated AMD believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bears include GunnarVagotis, who is ranked in the top 5% of our community, and the top-ranked member in all of CAPS, UltraLong.

Last month, GunnarVagotis warned that Mr. Market was getting too excited over the recent $1.25 billion gift from Intel: "[A] legal settlement is not a reliable revenue source. [S]oon the party will be over and this stock will get adjusted down to where it belongs."

In a pitch from yesterday, UltraLong also urged Fools to bet their chips elsewhere:

I am in utter disbelief that this managed to get to $10 given just how terribly this company has been running lately.

AMD has net negative book value stemming largely from what can be at best 2 billion dollars plus in net debt. AMD couldn't find a profit if they had a treasure map of which rock it was under and there was one rock on the beach. They consistently are outperformed by Intel, their management has positioned them for failure, and I can see no other method of creating cash here than by selling more dilutive stock. No tangible profits until at least mid 2011 by my estimates so I'd like to know how far people are really looking when valuing AMD...2012?

Either way, the cooling fan has been turned on and this processor is about to get a healthy pullback.
