Alighieri, I won't say that Kumar doesn't think he is right. But he did an excellent job of being influential, and of getting his name and his firm's name in front of millions of investors. His timing was perfect. And if Intel rallies from here to new highs, how many regular folks will remember his call? Not many. But how many will remember his name and Piper Jaffrey, many more than before. And also, maybe his guess will turn out to be right. John

Al I am puzzled at how many times Kumar has been shown to be parochial, off the mark or mixed up in seemingly questionable behaviour (see eMachines IPO debacle). Two days after his call IDC comes to the table with a diametrically different story and now CSFB piles it on. The CNBC guys should be able to make hours of humor at his expense the way they did Acampora. Two years ago, Kumar along with Niles were the first to suggest rightly that Dell's boom days were over. He has made some other smart calls since then. As much as I do not like the sucker, you do not get national airplay on CNBC because you are an idiot. ted Al
