<KZ - re:Does anyone appreciate this dollar cost averaging that Forrest (oops, Warren) Gump is advocating? Isn't it just a way to make losers feel better?> KZ, DCA on the way down is like throwing good money after bad. This is why a stock like INTC will hang in there for a while. There are always people who buy a stock because it is cheap. But a cheap stock may turn out to be very expensive indeed. Kap.

<Isn't it just a way to make losers feel better?> Not everyone is a day trader, nor is everyone fond of legalized gambling, you know. Some people actually invest the right way, i.e. dollar cost averaging, holding for the long term, etc. Meanwhile, I liked this part of the Fool's article: While most people accept Intel's expectations for production plans at face value, whenever Advanced Micro issues new chip and production plans, the game among investors is figuring out how much of a delay the company will encounter. It seems like Advanced Micro has seriously stumbled on every major product introduction in the past few years. Seeing Intel run into an occasional production delays should be expected as part of the business. Tenchusatsu
