paul, i see that paul e's wonderful personality impresses you, too ;-)

if he actually owns intel at a low price i'd say he was very lucky. anybody who compares sequential eps in a seasonal industry and claims "growth" is completely clueless.

better lucky than good sometimes, though ;-)

Paul F....

Just out of curiousity, did you sell/short Intel in the midst of the "Pentium Scare" a few yrs back? I put out a buy to my friends and they are still thanking me.

For those of us long, these downturns such as today are normal and often offer great buying opportunities to those that want to add to their positions.

Where do you stand now? Do you think Intel will go lower than its last buying opportunity when it dipped under $70? ...and why?

regards
Kirk out

Paul - Re: "You enjoying the Intel preannouncement. Do you have any idea how much money I am going to make tomorrow?"

As soon as it gets dark, the cockroach comes out!

I doubt you will be making a cent - when you disappeared with your tail between your legs I'm sure you covered all your shorts with a big time loss.

I would have expected nothing less from you.

Re: "But those por suckers that listened to you should... "

Those people saw Intel rise from $67 to $94 - and if they are investors, they will see it rise to $94 again.

Folks with your vision always lose money, Paul. You have no conception of value - your posts and your investment decisions remind us over and over again of this fact.

Paul

Paul,
Try to be nice! Since becoming a long term investor and learning from Paul Engel, Ibexx, Cummings and many others to spot value, my investment life has become fairly simple. Buy and hold, and live the good life.

It is true that I had a minor setback last year.
That was entirely due to my great character trait of believing that "Greed is good", and that "Double Greed is twice a good". I saw my portfolio drop from it's astronomical highs of 1997 to 1/3 of its value. ( Yes, margin calls got me back on my humble path when I strayed).

But, I say no problem: For every $1000 I started with in 1990 I now have $16,800. That computes out to 42.29% compounded annually. I don't think that is too shabby, but I am sure that you are doing much better and I think that that just wonderful. Us long term investors are doing OK also!

By reverting back to just being a greedy long term techstock holder, I hope to be able to do better in the future,
humble carl
