Paul - Luckily Intel's board is smart enough not to do this. Spending a $1+ billion per fab is risky, but they are managing to grow their revenue and earnings by more than 4% per year, as well as the stock, investing in these facilities and R & D. As long as this continues, building wafer fabs and "next generation" microprocessors is a much better investment. I am basing this opinion on a goal of steady growth in Intel and its stock valuation - and not on a get-rich-quick scheme. As you pointed out, Intel has parlayed their investments into a dominant position not seen since the Steel-Era. Which brings up an anecdote re: the steel industry. I had the opportunity to work in a major steel firm's R & D Department while a college student on summer vacation. I knew little about stocks and dividends then, but I guarantee you - there WAS NO INVESTMENT IN BASIC TECHNOLOGY OR MANUFACTURING. Today, the dividends are long since gone - and so is the steel company - Youngstown Sheet & Tube. RIP So much for the big dividend pay out. Paul
