Earlie, it is also advantageous for PC makers to support viable non Intel chips because they remember the days when Intel was a near monopoly. Tom Miller posted this F.A. Hayek site #reply-5418809 Mike

I want INTC puts, too. However, I wonder 1) how high INTC can get on this kind of thing and 2) about the optimum time to purchase them. I don't want to be too early. <g>

Earlie, I shake my head when I read crap like that. You have to wonder if these folks are serious or are they just playing a momentum game and making up excuses for the momentum. My guess is that most are serious and not bright enough to know how silly their logic is. MB

Earlie. Mona's remarks were actually quite sophisticated for bull talk. Check out this detailed thought pattern by Cramer. Why bother wasting $10's of thousands on an advanced college degree when all one has to do is look at a trading screen and say "I GUESS now looks like a good time to buy." From The Street.com: "My wife, Karen, sitting next to me, watching the action, breaks the silence. "Well, you better buy something, because this is as bad as it gets." Buy what? I said. "And be down two points by the time I get the report? You know what these sell programs are like." "Then go buy some America Online. Weren't you the guy telling me they could have explosive earnings next year? Didn't you just say that five hours ago?" Yeah, I said it, but that was a lifetime ago. "I'll buy it if you don't," she said. So we bought some Online" Yikes! No wonder why these stocks are so easily talked up!!!!!
