If there is any lack of knowledge regarding Intel it is your own lack of knowledge. Intel said in the conference call after reporting earnings that margins in 1998 would decline toward 55% plus or minus a little. This means Intel will be hard pressed to show earnings progress in 1998 given sluggish sales growth prospects in a price competitive market. Brinker has always said he view Intel as a trading vehicle only. He has answered caller questions regarding Intel price expectations in a clear manner throughout. You sound like another frustrated Intel shareholder who would rather hear Brinker tell you Intel is the world's greatest stock. Reality shows Intel is up only 3.8% over the last 12 months thereby a huge underperformer. Reality hurts. Don't blame Brinker for your stock selection error on Intel. However as Brinker has pointed out it has been a great trading vehicle for the nimble and informed trader. If he is really smart, he will stop telling callers what he thinks and then ridiculous posts like yours will fall into a vacuum where they belong. Come to think of it he should stop telling callers what he thinks of the market too. Why share these golden nuggets with unappreciative fools?
