GVTucker: Re: Intel has been a poor performer for almost two years now, especially so when compared to the overall market. What market are you looking at? Intel's stock price rose 68.8% in 1998, had a 2-year annualized increase of 35.6% from 1997-1998, and a 3-year annualized increase of 61% annualized increase from 1996-1998. Which overall market performed better than this? You can pick and choose any dates you want for any company and show poor performance, but 1, 2, and 3 year (maybe 5 and 10 also) compounded annual returns are what most people look at (and what mutual funds routinely publish).

GV - Re: "No, he didn't. 102 in July '97 to 119 now, or split adjusted, 51 to 59 and change. Intel has been a poor performer for almost two years now" Now there you go again - using the WRONG INFORMATION - and cherry picking the WRONG INFORMATION to suit your agenda. Intel reached $102 (non-split adjusted) BRIEFLY for A FEW HOURS in August 1997 - so WHY CHOOSE THAT DAMN PRICE as the basis for your asinine comparison? Why didn't you choose the LOWEST PRICE for Intel in 1997? Wouldn't fit your agenda - would it? In May of 1997, Intel was trading at $40 - split adjusted - and at TODAY's PRICE of $61 5/16, Intel is UP 53% from its level TWO YEARS AGO ! . That's UP about 26% per year and that's PRETTY DAMN GOOD - no matter what cock-n-bull-shit number you pull out of your derriere. Paul
