INTEL commented on this report at 3:37 yesterday, before the markets closed. Markets had 20 minutes to react and didn't[stock went higher]. That's yesterday Tuesday...M biz.yahoo.com I feel we were in this same situation in the beginning of 1996,Intel hit 50 and the analyst said it was going to 40, it responded by going to 154 and splitting. Call me naive but patience is a virtue,the world needs computers,and INTEL will be there "inside"!...M

Stockman, Agree to disagree. Just get irritated when airhead reporters make news not report it. John

John, Did you consider the possibility that Bruce Francis was both right and wrong? He may have been told of some short term INTC stock repurchases but apparantly didn't realize that the purchases should not be considered new news as they are part of an ongoing, previously reported, stock purchase plan. His mistake, and his producer's mistake, was in verification of his "news". Actually, I don't like to defend the media when mistakes are made, but this could have been a mistake. I'm not surprised with Mr. Francis as I have always felt that his reporting lacks deep understanding of what he was reporting. Very superfical reporting normally. Barry

Stockman do ya think some are on Bruce because they were short. How does an upgrade and downgrade on like MRK on the same day by different brokage houses compare ?? I consider the frequency and divergence of recommendations of stocks which effect the financial markets as more then noteworthy. As far as Bruces 'error' I would say it's much to do about nothing in the world of bad information. BTW I'm am a fan of CNBC , they ALL are delivering a first rate financial info show. Bob
