Another Missourian, Sharon (ne Daniel), has fought her ex-wife for six years for the right simply to visit her two boys...
...thing. "Although the published expectation was higher, at 68 cents, the way Intel announced it was much more important than the actual number," says Schwartz. "They predicted a better performance for the next quarter," and that?s what investors will heed.
