Ref "show me another reputable company (not INTEL) with capital gains which, on their press release for quarter earnings, does not report capital gains as a separate line item. Or, show me the Form 10-Q of a company with Capital Gains, that did not report it on a separate line on its Income Statement" Petz, a one time capital gain could be a separate line item.However Intel is sitting on $5billion of capital appreciation, and apparently it intends to liquidate that on a regular basis. So the capital gain is going to be a regular item contributing to income, so it will get lumped with the regular items on the income statement. Intels objective of the funding of small companies was to seed the companies whose which would increase PC demand. I believe that Intel's understanding with these companies was that Intel was to liquidate its holdings, as soon as these companies had access to public funding i.e after the IPO. In practice the liquidation has not been immediate, but is happening nevertheless. So eventually the $5 billion will add to Intel's income over the next few years, and will be a part of the regular income.
