Who listens to Brinker that has any real money invested in the stock market especially techs. Brinker has no clue about the market. It amazes me how guys like this do so well. JFD

Diamond, No, I didn't listen to Brinker this weekend. I respect his calls on the overall market (although he missed the dual sharp corrections last August and October). What he does keep reminding people about is that he told them to buy in late October. Doesn't mention the corrections, however. For stocks, he'll rarely recommend any, instead always pushes "the total stock market", like a Wilshire 5000 tracking fund. Innumerable callers ask for an opinion on Microsoft. He's had it at a hold for at least the past four years. OTOH, a couple of his recommended gems have been UTEK and Komag. Re Intel, he's a fair weather friend. He loves them when things are going great, trashes them at times like this. If you paid attention to his stock calls (Cisco he continually calls "richly valued", as he's called Microsoft since I've heard of him) you'd never buy a really great high tech stock. So, for purposes of this, and the Microsoft, and the Cisco threads, he's a No-op. Tony

Jim, Can't say I had the pleasure of Brinker's verbiage today. After listening to him for a long time now go on about Intel and how it's a trading stock for him, I try not to pay attention to his "analysis". I am also very tired of his patting himself on the back re "calling" last Oct's bottom. I had come to the same conclusion independently of him. It was nice to see him agree with me for a change. As far as Intel as a trading vehicle, some can - but I don't. I don't like handing uncle anything. Uncle gets enough as it is. Thanks for the heads up though. Barry
