Wolff, Re: "What he has done: Well look at the one month stock chart of Intel" Any short term graph that you look at is going to have many other factors into it than simply things that Barrett has said. The market in general has felt a lot of pain, and I don't think the most beloved of PR CEOs would have taken Intel stock much higher, short of LYING about operations. Re: "I don’t agree with you, I think a CEO can do more than just run the company and watch the stock do what it does, at least a world-class CEO doesn’t fry his company’s stock price with off the cuff remarks." Then we agree to disagree. This argument is going nowhere. You think you have a case against Barrett. If you are a shareholder, I suggest you bring it up for vote at the next shareholder's meeting. That's your choice. Otherwise, your diatribes on this forum hold no purpose. People in general seem to disagree with you. wbmw

Wolff, RE: "My issue is this is not the first time for Barrett, its at least the third major public relations flop and another fiasco attributable solely to Barrett. " As an investor, I recall more PR fiascos prior to Barrett, that cost Intel sums of money in terms of payout. Separately, take a look at the overall pattern of Intel's PE. That metric will give you an indicator on Barrett's communication skills and how it has positively influenced the PE. So, what is he suppose to do for you - lie or withhold information? I'd rather see a CEO be honest and disclose information like he did. Intel guided down within its range - take a look around you, in Silicon Valley at least, growth isn't exactly hopping up and down at this particular moment. Steve Balmer's comment was more blunt a few years ago when he said MSFT was too high. People criticize the truth when they don't want to hear it. RE: "what new markets, what about competition?" What new markets was Intel entering prior to Barrett? Re: competitors On Barrett's watch, Compaq's management team waived the flag and gave Dec's Alpha to Intel (good for Intel too). It seems to me HP's management essentially backed off from the chip business by having Intel work with their chip group. Sun is starting to show signs of backing off on some of their own chips for their product lines. Who is left? AMD? Regards, Amy J
