kap, re:<Intel's real EPS: $.78 - $.17 (tax credit) - $.19 (cap gains) equals $.42 a share> BINGO! You're the first who posted the real eps. Here's another gotcha: I've always been suspicious of how Intel lumps together everything except CPU's and this business always loses money quarter after quarter. Well, this quarter the non-CPU business LOST 0.09 per share (adjusted for taxes). They lost $458M on sales of $1,412M. Now I believe someone on this thread said that Intel's Flash Memory sales were nearly as high as AMD and Fujitsu combined. Lets say $500M. Only a complete clown of a company could fail to make at least $100M profit on $500M flash sales! This means that the rest of the "other" businesses lost $558M on sales of $912M. In fact, despite the booming flash memory market, Intel's losses in the "other" businesses grew by 50% in the last year. Is Intel management of the "other" businesses and its acquisition strategy really THAT bad, or possibly, Intel is improperly allocating expenses to the "other" segment to make the vaunted IABG segment look better on paper.
