Andy,>>>Any opinion on whether Intel will have a negative earnings pre-announcement??<<< Time Magazine's Man of the Year is a control freak. The Intel Strategic Plan, R&D, production resources, and management personnel are all in place for Intel to become the Company of the Century. There is no such thing as a negative surprise. A revenue shortfall is an analysts marketing conceit. It has no meaning as far as Intel destiny is concerned. Earnings pre-announcement? To paraphrase an old Bay State-ism, the Lowells speak only with Cabots, and Andy talks only to God. Mary

AHale, <Any opinion on whether Intel will have a negative earnings pre-announcement??> IMHO, Intel's earnings pre-announcement came and went. It was at the October's post earnings conference call. A complacent Intel would have used "typical" 4Q strength to guide the street to numbers above $1.00 /share. If so, you would have seen Intel pre-announce. But, I think Intel had a sense that something was up and gave lower guidance. Having said that, Intel is not perfect and eventhough they guided analysts in the downward direction, they may have not known to what degree. SK
