Paul, re: Eric Ross made his NVIDIA/Intel/XBOX delay call on the very day (TODAY) that NVIDIA is going to report their earnings. Rather an interesting coincidence - eh? Interesting. I guess we will find out if he is only wrong 50% of the time, or 100%. John

Paul, >Eric Ross made his NVIDIA/Intel/XBOX delay call on the very day (TODAY) that NVIDIA is going to report their earnings. Rather an interesting coincidence - eh? no URL on this, but a Motley fool poster has a couple of names of people refuting Weasel's latest call. Have you heard of either? Borrowed from Snowrider2 of TMF: All, For the record: Thomsas "Weasle" and partners started the rumor that the X-Box would be delayed three to four weeks because of Intel's motherboards. Remember this is the same Thomas Weisel Partners that was certain that Dell was going to break the INTC only alliance and start selling AMD. We saw how that rumor was quickly squashed by DELL a few days later. This is also the Thomas Weisel Partners that said INTC's Q2's Earnings would fall short of analyst's estimates. A week later INTC announced their earnings and they met analysts estimates and proved Thomas Weisel Partners wrong. Now, both MSFT and INTC are countering Thomas Weisel's claim that the X-Box will be delayed. "James Bernard, a Microsoft spokesman, disputed the report. While he wouldn't comment about any possible manufacturing hang-ups, Bernard said that Microsoft will ship the number of Xbox game consoles it initially expected on time, as planned." "Intel spokesman Robert Manetta said that there are no problems with the chip giant's motherboards." Strike Three! They're out of here! Snow leviticus.boards.fool.com
