Of course I'm not serious However let me explain the psychology again. Some people buy a stock and are acutely aware of how much risk they are taking. They then need to hear confirmation of their irrationally arrived at decision. They come here to get confirmation not information. This leads to endless Intel the greatest company on Earth posts. ITs basically sophomoric idiocy. A second very large group of posters here are Intel insiders, long term share holders etc. Many of these people got in at very low prices and are not buyers of the stock in the market. Therefore they must be smart right? These people love Intel, the company. They have a mission to defend their investment. OF course they want as many people to buy the stock as possible and see it as protection for their holdings. My own opinion of these people is that they ought to do something better with their time --- like compute when to take capital gains. They cannot add anything to the discussion of what to do at present with the stock because they are biased in favor of up, up, up and buy, buy, buy. Thus the comment "leave Engel alone." Unfortunately some people come here looking for information and find this group of Intel boosters instead. It destroys the value of the thread.
