Won't it be amazing?

I see INTC at 116B but who's counting. Anyway I don't see how that's so far fetched considering INTC has already had earnings declines for several quarters and they are expected to continue for a while. (Forecasts are for a 17% decline next Q) Kurlack forecasts INTC to have 2 consecutive yearly declines in earnings. (1997==>1998==>1999) Contrast this to DELL, who has grown their earnings 55% over the last 5 years and is forecast to grow them at 40% for a while

Does $100 billion seem all that far off?

Last Q EPS gains or (loss) vs. the prior year

M$FT...25%
INTC...(34%)
C$CO...30%
DELL...63%
