Yaacov,

Bruce Francis just reported outside the Intel analyst's meeting and said:

-Intel's message was bullish but more important than what they did say was what they didn't say.
-the bears were caught short this am as they expected and Intel earnings warning and didn't get it.
-One of the ways Intel will deal with conditions in the market is that they will offer a broader range of products in the future than they have in the past. They will have products for 10 different market segments vs. 4 segments.
-Intel confirmed that they do no think that cheap pc's are expanding the market
-there is a short term inventory correction, due to cutomer changeover to JIT ordering and this will effect 4Q97 sales by $500-750MM, and is why they preannounced that 4Q97 revenues would only be flat to slightly up. Inventory correction is almost over now.
-Most analysts came out of the meeting feeling relieved and bullish on Intel's prospects.
-Not all analysts are convinced though. He said that Drew Peck, Intel bear, is uncovinced and has yet to change his recommendation to buy even though prices have fallen significantly.
