H&Q thinks that INTC beat estimates! Just saw on Yahoo. Here we go. Analysts are now saying, "I knew it all the time, I was just being cautious (even though my traders bought at 67!). Things are great. What a great company. Show me the money!"

FYI, INTC really beat estimates by 2 cents --- <<Hambrecht & Quist Group analyst Rob Chaplinsky said the write downs shaved about 4 cents a share off of earnings. ''They really beat the estimates,'' if the write downs are excluded, said Chaplinsky, who rates Intel ''buy.'' >> bloomberg.com@@U6PkmAYAMdZkNNWc/news2.cgi?T=news2_ft_topww.ht&s=552726562 John

>>H&Q thinks that INTC beat estimates! Just saw on Yahoo.<< IMHO H&Q is " full of shit" in general. Has anyone noticed that analysts downgrade stocks after they go down and upgrade after they go up. Paine Webber only downgraded the semiconductor equipment industry from buy to hold after the whole index had slipped over 50%. These days analysts are often paid by the very company they are recommending either as an investment banker, underwriter or market maker (not necessarily INTC but many other stocks). Even CNBC laughs about the "analysts" You can rest ASSURED that if INTC tanks this year, H&Q will have unloaded all their shares BEFORE they downgrade or discuss negatives. JO
