Paul, I see, so tulips at $10,000 are also something you would buy if they were up from $5000. Or energy stocks at $54 a barrel oil prices? Your sleazy notes finally make sense. Do you know what the word, valuation, means? Or, the term, seasonal blip? Or, how about company pimp? Do you know that about a third of the companies in the S&P 500 are going to report record earnings this year? Not near record (translated to English: down bigtime) eps like Intel. Does one quarter set a trend, especially their seasonally strongest quarter? Do they have any growth rate to justify their silly level of valuation? Will they have one, especially with Y2K about to kill them? Aren't any of the Lotus Land bulls concerned that this surprise was manufactured by, first, lying about a flat quarter when Intel is aware of seasonal factors, and then miraculously discovering Xmas again? And isn't it odd they pull this scam in the same quarter when executive bonuses are fixed? And, yes, I know what business Intel is in. They buy insurance packages from crooks. <G> MB
