Merced Trader - Re: " entitle to whine"

Whiners never get anywhere.

Do something.

Sell your Intel.

Buy those high flyers you drool over.

Quit whining.

Paul

Hysterical behavior is one thing and constructive criticism is something else - although I doubt many can understand the difference.

At the risk of being misunderstood, I'm going to provide some constructive criticism from the view point of a stockholder:

Andy Bryant may be a terrific CFO and he may be the right person to provide professional analysts with insight into Intel finances and Intel prospects from a nuanced financial perspective.

But, please keep him off general television. Don't let him be interviewed on regular TV. He comes off without energy, very cautious, understated to the point of turning people off, and completely without any confidence in his company.

The interviewer on CNBC (Bruce Francis) gave Andy Bryant every opportunity to expand on Andy Grove's comment that demand for Intel products is excellent. Instead, Andy Bryant gave us this very lawyerly statement that suggests that he is not going to say anything because he is afraid he will be hit with a lawsuit.

Okay, don't hype, don't overstate things - but don't come on the air if you don't have any confidence in your company. Stay in the background and maintain the books.

Get someone else to speak for Intel. No wonder Intel is selling at discount to the market. The people putting money into their retirement portfolio are now from the MTV generation. They don't understand the understated, cautious, and prudent Intel demeanor.

Get real fellas.
