What do you think of Micron?
Interesting company, but I'm betting on AMD and I'll stick with it.
I already have enough of these stocks and I don't need all of them, but this is definitely one of the better stocks.
The company is doing great, and I would be happy to buy. The price is high right now, but after a 10% drop, it would be interesting.
