Stock Certificates

Raytheon Company [RTN] Stock Certificate

Raytheon is a diversified company that manufactures products, writes software, and sells service primarily to government agencies. Wikipedia has a good write up on their history and all of the various products and services.

I love the name Raytheon. The vignette on this stock is a great graphical depiction of the name ("light of/from the gods" [wikipedia]).

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Stock Certificate

I've never actually owned an AMD processor, but I appreciate a competitive market. I had an early on bad experience with their new graphics card acquisition (ATI). Since AMD took over, I've noticed a sharp increase in quality and customer service.
