herb, <The stark truth is that Intel's guidance has been on the money.> I strongly agree. By and large, Intel has been one of the most reliable company's I've ever seen as far as giving guidance is concerned. Sure, they have had to make adjustments but on balance they have been extremely accurate, especially when it came to predicting margins. At any rate, some analysts (or at least one) continue to ignore whatever guidance is given. FF

herb, RE:<<What would you have Intel to do, announce Q4 earnings on October 1? The stark truth is that Intel's guidance has been on the money. Intel reports to the stockholders any changes in its guidance during each quarter. Do you have a problem with that?>> You misunderstood my post, herb. My point was that no one can accurately predict Intel's earnings quarter to quarter, not even Intel. I agree that Intel's reports and projections to stockholders do a great service to us all. I wish more companies would adopt their method of reporting. But to expect anyone, Kurlak or otherwise, to predict earnings accurately from quarter to quarter is an exercise in futility.
