Já falta pouco, será este o catalisador para o próximo swing positivo?
Ou será que vai ser abaixo das espectativas?
O meu "know-sider" diz-me que vai ser acima das espectativas, apesar das estimativas já incluirem um "brutal" ganho da Intel..
Já falta pouco para sabermos..

The world's largest chipmaker is set to report second-quarter results after the closing bell Tuesday. The numbers should be solid: analysts expect profits to soar 91 percent to 27 cents a share on a 19 percent increase in sales, to $8.1 billion.
But several analysts have downgraded Intel and other semiconductor companies recently because of a concern that tech spending will disappoint. A wave of earnings warnings last week from software developers and a couple of smaller chip firms contributed to that fear.

In addition, Intel has had some high profile problems with its latest chip for personal computers, known as Grantsdale. The company announced a recall of some Grantsdale chips in late June.
As a result, shares of Intel (INTC: Research, Estimates) have fallen more than 6 percent so far in July and nearly 20 percent this year. The shares were little changed Tuesday. Still, the stock more than doubled last year so a pullback in 2004 should be no major surprise.
So is there more downside for Intel, and the rest of tech for that matter, or will second-quarter reports spark another rally?
