Companies, stocks and SWOT

I have been involved in investing at low level (money wise)  for few year now. The great crash of 2008 presented a good opportunity to get in - so I took it investing mainly in hardware based tech companies including ARM, IMG, Nvidia, AMD and later Rambus and a few others. I shall be offering my thoughts in the form of a SWOT analysis  on some of the companies I have invested in.


AMD

Strengths	Weaknesses
ATI graphics Currently the most well-rounded x86 integrated CPU solution	Management Software support Internal processes - which causes many product delays and missed cycles and generally poor execution
Opportunities	Threats
Trim management at all levels -  and streamline processes Integrate more functionality into CPU (Sound, Disk Controllers, Memory)  - further reducing system costs	Themselves ARM Intel Nvidia

APPLE

Strengths	Weaknesses
Brand Loyalty Solid Platforms Integrated platforms	Genuine Creativity Enterprise penetration Focus on the consumer - cool today gone tomorrow Development tools in comparison to Microsoft % of OS PC market in comparison to MS
Opportunities	Threats
Refocus on applying the ‘It just works’ philosophy to other areas instead of the iphone 100 Buy a big software player - i.e. Adobe Make PC more competitive - add more value through features Balance the style to substance ratio Get more platform developers on board - offer discounts and provide better tools to students.	Android MS Themselves
