Adam, RE:<<My original post on the subject (http://www2.techstocks.com/~wsapi/investor/reply-9763742) provided empirical evidence showing that INTC has recovered quite nicely from the >25% corrections it has encountered over the past 3-4 years. It is my opinion that this trend will repeat itself with the current correction, as well as the many future >25% corrections that INTC will undergo.>>

Anecdotal evidence is not empirical evidence.

L.Adam Latham, re:"INTC has recovered quite nicely..."

Hi L.Adam,

Thank you for the post.

I went to your other post, and I agree with you to a point.

It seems that some people, like you mentioned, like to dog Intel for sport, but this obscures the possibility that Intel has not been doing as well as it has in the past and has caused, like some of us here including myself, to start looking for alternatives.

I did a five year comparison in Intel vs IBM stock prices and IBM won. That surprised me. Now, a 10, 15 or 20 year comparison may indeed prove Intel the winner, but when the 5 year brings up IBM the winner, it is suggestive to me that either due to industry or company specific reasons, the heydays of Intel are over and the stock price will have to move to match this reduced expectation.

When IBM starts to look on par with Intel as an investment, it makes me wonder.

Just my opinion and good investing to you.

Jon :)
