Intel stock hammered hammered over disappointing fourth-quarter result

Since it seems to be the rage to create threads about the falling stock prices of a particluar semiconductor company, it only seems fair and balances to post this little tid-bit from Yahoo News.

Some noteworthy quotes...

Is this a harbinger of things to come? What about Thunderman's prediction that Intel will suffer great losses in 2008? Did Paul Otellini jump the gun when saying there was no sign of a global recession? Is Intel resting on their laurels? Was it a mistake for Intel to stop new processor development? Will Intel get caught with their pants down like they did in the Prescott days?

"Intel will suffer great losses in 2008?" Define great losses. This cannot be answered.
"Paul Otellini jump the gun" It's possible that he and us are thinking on different terms.
"Is Intel resting on their laurels?" Not in January.
"Was it a mistake for Intel to stop new processor development?" No, but it will be if they don't go back after current errors are fixed.
"Intel get caught with their pants down ..." Yes, it is a fact of life for people, organizations and governments.

chunkymonster, I love the quote you have, great song.

Not that the words "logical" and "stock market" should be used in the same sentence, but an equivalent reaction to AMD's earnings announcement and forecast should put it in the low 5's to high 4's, no? But to their credit AMD could spin the sinking of the Titanic into the vacation adventure of a lifetime...

yeah but it just goes to show the ups and downs of the stock market though does it. The ups it can be a pot of gold for all, the downs healthy companies like intel making ever larger profits seeing their share price fall. There is a slight folly in taking share movements at face value....

One word description: Under-valued.

Glad to see the replies have been good natured (knock on wood). The thread was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

I doubt very much that Intel has any long-term worries as a result of the 4Q 2007 results. They still made gobs of cash and command the market.

While AMD is in not-so-good shape, they'll muddle through this year targeting the mainstream and budget markets and hopefully end 2008 on an upswing with the release of 45nm.

Regardless, given the technology outlook and as an amateur investor, I just might snag a few hundred shares of each and ride them out thru the summer.

Thanks! It was a sad day when I heard Mark Sandman passed away. At least he died on stage rocking the house. I'm very glad that I was able to see Morphine live (voice of Comic Book Guy, "Best concert, ever!" ) before his untimely demise; that show is a memory that will live with me forever. I did have a chance to catch Orchestra Morphine with Dana Colley, Billy Conway, and Laurie Sargent. Even though they did a great job and it was an excellent show, it just wasn't the same. Morphine is always in regular rotation in my many playlists.

And here I was hoping for another chance to laugh at Thunderman..... (just from the thread title....)

I am wondering if perhaps this is a good opportunity to buy Intel shares $3.21 cheaper... they’ll regain that quickly.

wow youve really had a collection over the years lol. I had a radeon 7000, when i got a 6600gt 3dmark01 came out with some scores that were like 12 times faster. In short, it was cack. Ran hl2 quite surprisingly well though lol
