All, Asked about the Intel investigation, FTC spokeswoman Victoria Streitfeld said, ''That's not something anyone here can talk about.''We make decisions when we announce them.'' I guess the FTC must do some really deep thinking on things if they make decisions when they announce them instead of announcing them when they make them.<g> Barry

Hi Sonki: To answer to your question I think so! I bought INTC a couple of days ago when some con-artist (i.e. analyst) had upgraded it and had made a comment saying INTC will report 15% better than expected earnings for the past quarter. I bought it at $74.5. But I just unloaded it today at $74 5/8! After talking to a few friends who work at Intel, they think the company may very well come out with an impressive earnings report (let me emphasize on the word maybe!), hwoever, they think (and they are all just design engineers) from the mood of the company and their own feeling Intel's revenue for the next 2-3 quarters is going to be at best "flar"! So I decided to sell! This may very well be wrong (as I said these people are just design engineers/managers and some of them are seniors and have been with the company for over 10 years, but they dont know any better than the rest of us!). I think the best strategy right now till end of this month would be to stay in cash as much as possible. I think (actually I hope I am wrong!) much better bargining period will soon be coming our way to load up on shares of premium companies at bargain prices of the century! Regards, Addi Jamshidi

Sonki - Re: "does this mean we still get a chance to buy intel at much lower price? " If we are real "lucky". Completing the "DEAL" isn't that important in the short term. What is important is that DEC and Intel MADE the DEAL - to the benefit of both of them. This puts the original DEC lawsuit and animosity between DEC and Intel at a very low level - crystalizing the reasons DEC filed the Patent Infringement suit in the first place. If the Deal doesn't go through, there is probably a good chance that Intel and DEC will still resolve the disputes amicably - and both will go about their business - which has now been established AS MERCED. Still a Win for Intel - I hope. Paul
