It isn't sales that count it's gross margins ... Ho hum. Do we have to go through this again? New York bricklayers have great wage rates and wonderful gross margins, but, unfortunately, no one builds in brick! Gross margins don't matter a cross-eyed damn (except to some Intel workers who are paid bonuses based on them) so I'll add "to me!" as a stockholder of Intel. What matters to me is long-term EPS, which ultimately leans on long-term Gross Margin Dollars. (Sales x Gross Margin percentage). Watch your language! Competition comes and goes. In a draggy old business like mpu's you have to struggle just to stay alive. How much longer will idiots put money into new cats and dogs to get crushed by Intel? Intel's doing fine. It must be patient until all the monkeys go broke and blow away. Maybe then, generously, it may buy up the wreckage (failing company doctrine) unless the government (or some foreign government like China) picks up the pieces (very dumb but maybe worth a try.) Anyone in a highly profitable firm like Intel in a long-term business which worries about short-term movements is not keeping its eye on the ball. Hang around a while. It's just getting good.
