Kurlak's fickleness has always bothered me.

I didn't see any fickleness this time around. Last week when Kurlak "hyped" the semis, if one actually listened to and read what the man said, he said long term investors might want to start building a position around December, and traders should hold off in the near term. You can make good money listening to Kurlak - if you ignore the entourage of spinners.

My question to you INTC pros (I've traded INTC before, but not right now) is: How much of Kurlak's prognosis about the semiconductor market is likely to be true?

Herschel,

It's tough to say. There are some problems with the semi stocks and Intel in particular. Some of what Kurlak says is not inherently sinister. There are some concerns with Intel (most notably AMD, Cyrix etc.), the short sellers have pointed out a few other concerns.

I repurchased at 68. If everything looked rosy, I would not have got that price. After the July earnings from Intel and AMD we should have a much better picture.

Dale

Herschel - Re: Kurlak

Last May, 1997, Kurlak put out a bullish BUY signal on Intel with a very high price target. Two weeks later, Intel pre-announced a bad quarter and their stock tanked.

Kurlak has been right as often as he has been wrong - about as good as flipping a coin.

As for his value on Wall Street - he still moves Intel's stock, whether he's right or wrong - look at yesterday.
