Saturn, Going to have to politely - but severely disagree with you. To say that the firms have little influence is way off target. So - you mean to tell me that today that INTC falls nearly a dollar and that these three firms didn't have that much influence. Wake up my friend! These guys are looking to make money and lots of it. Where is the SEC when you need them - watching porn of course! They do influence the market - it is there job to do so.
What is being discussed on this board and for that matter on other boards are long term trend and what is Intel's position and how it will effect its market share and hopefully stock prices. But in the short run or day to day basis, these discussions and trends have very little effect. and this is quite evident from what is happening today or over the last a few months.
