<<I think GVTucker has finally figured out that Kurlak is just another yokel - WHO DOESN'T RETURN PHONE CALLS - on Wall Street who is way over his head.>> Heck, why should Kurlak return the call of a random retail investor, when he receives hundreds every day? He has a hard enough time returning the calls of the institutional investors who do hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions. Hey, Paul, I never said he was a wonderful guy who's looking out for the retail investor's best interest anyway. If you want to know what he has to say, get an account at Merrill, buy a couple of stocks a year, and get his research. OK, here's Wall St 101 in regards to Intel. I do not believe that anyone should blindly follow any analyst opinion. Some analysts, however, are valuable for various reasons and thus should used as data sources. Regarding Intel, Kurlak is the only analyst that has shown a consistent ability to call long term trends for the stock in both directions. Regarding industry analysis, Kurlak is only surpassed by Drew Peck. Unfortunately, Drew's ability as a stock picker are not good. Finally, regarding earnings estimates, no one has shown a consistent ability to estimate Intel's earnings. Recently, Rob Chaplinsky showed some promise that he might know what he was doing, unfortunately, he left Wall St for much greener pastures at Mohr, Davidow Ventures.
