Over on CAPS, fully 184 of the 639 All-Star members who have rated AMD -- or 29% -- believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward. Among the entire bear population are dexion10, who is ranked in the top 2% of our community, and TAG042404.

Five days ago, dexion10 summed up the growing concerns of our community: "too much debt for the equity to survive and too little sales volume for operating profits not to nose dive."

In a pitch from January, TAG042404 offers a semi-glimmer of hope, but sides with the bear camp, nonetheless:

AMD, good history of products, but in a global recession companies like AMD have a hard time getting the necessary traction. I am unsure how AMD still remains solvent with approximately 2 years of negative EPS. This could be a great speculative stock at the current prices, but could be a trap. I feel AMD will have a tough time in the short term market, but if they can provide a new product that truly challenges AMD CPUs recent performances, they have a chance.
