Ratings agencies issuing their opinions about chip stock Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NYSE: AMD) would be some of the news for investors in the stock or in competitors like Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) will want to digest. I should mention that we previously had an open position in Advanced Micro Devices in our SmallCap Network Elite Opportunity (SCN EO) portfolio from last summer up until late January when we locked in a small loss. We got out not because we don�� believe in AMD�� long term potential, but because our SCN EO is a trading portfolio rather than a long term buy and hold portfolio. Moreover, AMD�� shares had sunk again after the company reported earnings ��a repeat performance of what happened after the last three previous earnings reports. Nevertheless, AMD has been producing a steady stream of good or interesting news for investors and traders alike:

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Maxx Chatsko]
Pfizer will turn its immediate focus to Xeljanz, a novel JAK3 inhibitor, as it awaits phase 3 data from ertugliflozin several years from now. The drug class has swept the pharmaceutical industry by storm. Novartis (NYSE: NVS ) and Eli Lilly are developing JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitors for several applications with Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY ) , while a handful of other companies have molecules of their own. While companies have high hopes for the cancer-fighting potential of JAK inhibitors, such as Jakafi from Novartis and Incyte, the biggest opportunities may lie in the immunology market.

The difference between Growlife's leadership and, say that of competitors like Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCMKTS: CBIS) or Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTCMKTS: MJNA), has been relatively well documented here at the SmallCap Network site. I think the way I - well, someone else - put it back on June 25th says it best...."Growlife is sort of the demure girl in the corner who doesn't do shots off her navel in the bar." It may not have sizzle, but it does have substance.
