John, RE: I think that depends on if "earnings" are commingled with other Intel operating income. If so, I think you may be right, it makes Intel Capitol less than an independent operating division and more of a parking place for excess capitol. If the "earnings" are maintained within Intel Capitol to reinvest, I would feel more comfortable in valuing it as an independent VC division that should trade on a multiple of it's realized performance rather than it's assets. Actually, it would probably be valued much higher on the basis of it's unrealized gains rather than it's realized gains.

Actually, I would argue just the opposite.

I DO advocate valuing Intel Capital as an independent VC division. That's my point. Value the core business as a multiple of earnings, and value Intel Capital as a multiple of book.
