Paul, RE:"Maybe she will - and just think - you'll get a chance to Flynch a SECOND TIME - and take a big loss this time around - if you really bought back that Intel at $60+ like you said you did." Ah, you love to pull my leg don't you. Naturally, you exaggerate my Intel losses...but right now they are losses none the less. Who would have thought Intel could turn out to be such a LOSER. So what you are saying is that if I buy Intel at 39, I'll likely lose money? So you think Intel is going lower than that? Seems you've lost your love of Intel... Jim
