Karin, >>>But I think it matters<<< Sure it matters. But, it is awfully difficult for the small investor to be heard. To the powers that be, some of us are only nuisances and are easily dismissed. But what about Intel themselves - don't they have an obligation to protect all their investors? Do you see this type of activity ever happening to Coca Cola? If you read the headlines for any Coca Cola earnings report they always begin in bold letters with something very positive about the earnings period (as an example): Coke Reports fantastic 87% earnings increases in certain markets. While Andorra saw huge (87%) earnings increase the rest of Europe reported 6.85% increase and.... I just don't thinks this is only my imagination. Regards, Mary

KD, Re: >"But I think it matters. The more letters they receive from unsatisfied investors the more it would be likely for them to be on their toes and shape up. We can not just let these things go on. We are the majority and must speak up or they do what ever they want. K.D." IMO the TYPE of people who orchestrated yesterday's events hide behind regulations, securities rules, broadcast responsibilities, grievance procedures etc. etc. They simply do not care who lost anything by their actions and they won't ever even have to deal with them. They'll accept all the complaint letters we can muster cause they have their nifty old complaint departments setup to handle and explain -WHICH IS THE ONLY RESULTS WE'LL EVER GET- the reasoning behind the reporting etc. The best thing I feel I can do for myself is to learn and take heed for future events -which will no doubt come- and invest or not invest accordingly. I do appreciate treads like this where ideas and opinions are gathered to further assist in the never ending learning processing on my way to self riches. Thank you Karin. TTOSBT
