Tony - Re: "why aren't the Intel guys joining the contest. Because it's a stupid waste of time, that's why." Why don't you ask the AMDrhoids why they didn't have their butt-slapping EPS contests in the past few quarters when AMD preannounced a poor quarter?

Tony, re: Team member requirement has been reduced from 5 to 3 I decided that with the smaller number of entries that a change in the rules would enhance the play. Like deciding to play football with less than full teams when less than eighteen people show up. re: "I read on the other thread quite a few posts saying like, why aren't the Intel guys joining the contest. Because it's a stupid waste of time, that's why." It is just a game. I offered to host the contest because someone else thought it would be fun to play again. While there is a lot less room for surprises (good or bad) from Intel's earnings (which is a good thing from an investment perspective) I had thought that some posters to the Intel thread might be interested in participating. I was wrong. However, I have never criticized those who decided not to join and I have also tried to minimize the posts here since there was no interest; I didn't stop posting here because I wanted to keep the option open and be impartial to all potential participants. -PT
