KIS - <So you're saying that all of the professional analysts who predicted 53 cents dont follow the company or take the industry seriously? If they weren't surprised, why didnt they lower their estimates if they *knew* Q2 was going to be tough?>

Who cares? Intel didn't miss its numbers, the analysts missed theirs!

Q2 is the slowest Q in this business. Nothing terribly surprising yesterday. Forward looking statements from Intel were more bullish than last years Q2...you're making a big deal about -.02 from a fictional number to begin with!!!!

Because the analyst tools are not very good for predicting results. The tools do not use any real live data that Intel has and does use. The analyst tools are very good for obtaining high 6 figure incomes fo the analysts.
