In general, I would avoid the analysts like the plague. They
tend to have vested interests and have to cover a number of
companies.

Modern tools can provide you with quite a bit of information
about a company. Sure, you don't get to go to lunch with the
execs but I don't know how valuable that really is anymore
compared to the info and news you can now get online.

And you can even take it a step further by just dumping
fundamental news and going with technicals if that's your
bent.

This week is Options Expirations so I consider it just a junk
week. Intel is not going to stray far from $20 unless the option
buyers have already been taken out. What happens Monday and
Tuesday will be more interesting.

I note that GM was able to get over a pretty big hurdle to
strike from near $19 to over $22.50 on no news.
