Intel Corp (INTC)

[fastpathguru]

The way the author of this opinion peice misrepresents the position of Varney/DOJ, misrepresents the EC vs. Intel case, and misrepresents the state of EC's antitrust policy, I'm not worried about whatever weight his opinion carries.

Examples of BS:

* The insinuation that the JD will target companies merely for their success at gaining large market share;

* His claim that anyone thinks that inadequate antitrust enforcement is the cause of the current recession;

* That somehow Bush's 11th hour muzzling of antitrust enforcement was anything other than an attempt to institutionalize a clearly failed deregulatory attitude towards the market;

* That the EC has not promoted clear guidelines as to what constitutes abuse of dominant position, and that they're 30 years behind the US;

* That Intel was fined simply "for giving discounts;"
