Duke, I rarely hold anything too long, but even if you are a long termer, you could have bought Dell 7 years ago and be down almost 50% if you held till the present. I DO look at stock action, funny how it often 'preceeds' news. Take a look at IBM's trading action early in 2005 just before they announced their big miss. The stock traded down big in a flat to rising market for something like 11 days in a row before taking an additional big move downward when results were announced. I remember you from my CPQ posting days, do you recall how that stock on occasion would tank for two weeks straight just before news was announced?? On the contrary, look at how HPQ has been trading as good news has been announced quarter after quarter in it's current recovery... While all these folks are endlessly 'agonizing' over INTC here, perhaps it would have been helpful for them to look at the action in AMD, buying from guys like Mort Topfer, and the very favorable reviews of AMD products. It's a good thing INTC had Centrino, or things might have been worse... Good luck to you, John
