GVTucker,>>>The last time Kurlak downgraded Intel's short/intermediate term rating was back in August of '97, <<< Technically that may be correct - but did he not reiterate the downgrade and publish his negative musings a number of times during weeks leading up to options expiry from May to Aug '98 - causing Merrill's investors to miss out on the last 50 point move up on Intel. Didn't he reiterated his negative calls during June when Intel hit it's lows. Doesn't that count. As an aside, how does an analyst get measured anyway? Does he get measured for work that is performed in the last 12 mos? Most CEO's get measured virtually every quarter - whether they make expectations or not. Baseball players get measured on their batting average for the current year. The same goes for basketball players (scoring average). Baseball managers, football and basketball coaches get measured for wins and losses during the current year. How does his disastrous upgrade of AMD in Nov/Dec of 98 fit into his performance rating? How come Kurlak gets a pass on all this? Mary
