Hi Mary, You have been irked by how Intel manages investor expectations. Today's San Jose Mercury News has an interesting article comparing how Intel and Cisco managed investor expectations in this downtun. www0.mercurycenter.com "Over the last month, Cisco's CEO, John Chambers, has adopted a tactic that might be called the cut-the-tail-off-an-inch-at-a-time." "Intel, on the other hand, delivered the bad news suddenly, disappointing everyone at once. Last September, the Santa Clara chip maker surprised investors by announcing -- with a blunt engineering directness -- that it expected its third-quarter revenues to be 5 percent lower than analysts' expectations" Institutional investors seem to prefer the Cisco style, since they could read between the Cisco official line and were able to exit with less damage. The Intel style treats everyone equally, and so obviously I prefer that. Cisco may be trying to manage a controlled collapse of its stock price. So its stock has still more room to the downside.
