There is no money in making hybrid cards...it is not even close. People know that purely from a financial standpoint that hybrids do not pay for themselves. I would be more inclined to look at the companies who make the specialized parts for the hybrids. The shareprice for the hybrid auto parts suppliers rise and fall depending on what investors think are the future for hybrids. This sector has cycled up and down a few times. You may want to buy when you think the sector is at a low and then wait for some good news. This includes the battery makers, fuel cell companies, electric motor companies and the companies that make the controllers. Everytime government legislation or some new technology comes along that promotes hybrids this sector seems to do well.

Remember that the people who sold the goldpans and the pickaxes to the miners are the ones who got rich.

AMD made a nice bounce HAL.
