that may be so, but cashflows were decent in 2011 thanks to brazos and debt was being reduced at a good pace.  canning the ceo that took them from the brink of bankruptcy shaved at least 2 bucks from the share price and i don't believe that amd investor sentiment has fully recovered from that ill-conceived stunt.  and who is to say how many potential orders amd may have lost in 2011 due to its leadership void.
