Michael,

You wrote: I can tell you how Intel's microprocessor business is: mediocre.

This is how Webster's defines mediocre:

"Mediocre: of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance : ORDINARY, SO-SO."

What part of Intel's microprocessor business is low quality and what yardstick are you using to measure this? Is it the 60% plus gross margins or the 20% plus net margins you find ordinary? Or perhaps the 25% return on equity that you find so-so?

I am disturbed because I had always regarded performance such as this as extraordinary in my 20 plus years of investing. Obviously I have been ignorant of an entire universe of companies that must be exceeding this type of performance. Please list 50 or 100 of these names so that I can immediately sell this dog and buy into truly great companies. If Intel's performance is average, I can't wait to browse your list of those companies that exceed these mediocre results.

Anxiously,

Robert
