Carl, Re: All I am asking for from Intel is honesty in their reporting of earnings, especially at this time when the earnings are being used to repurchase shares recklessly doled out.
There are two debatable issues here. The first is honesty in earnings reporting. Some people feel the current system works great, others are looking for reform. What kind of reform are you looking for? How can Intel help in this respect? It doesn't add value to repeat the problem, especially for others that don't agree with you in the first place.
The second issue is stock repurchasing. It happens at just about every other large company, too. But "reckless" is a matter of opinion. Do you think Intel should purchase at more strategic times? Purchase less shares? Not purchase at all?
The first thing you can try is to drop altogether the notion of crooked execs. If you truly believe that, and your persistent anecdotes and quotes from Inside Intel suggests you do, then short the stock or don't invest at all. Continued baseless accusations are FUD, plain and simple. Either relate it to investing, or drop the nonsense.
Even though I don't agree with your issues, Carl, I still find value in seeing the discussions that result from some of the experts on this thread. The only thing that stinks is that you can't seem to be satisfied with the answers you get, and the argument seems to go on forever. I suggest you listen to what people say, comment with something constructive, and then move on to a newer topic. |
