Michael, If I may,

Maybe 'problems' isn't the right term, but 'issues', of which taxes is the main. I'm curious, if you had Intel @ $14, when would you have sold?

Would your subsequent strategy have resulted in higher gains than the subsequent gains in INTC? This is another 'problem' the long-term holder must consider.

I think Intel is currently a good investment. I've owned INTC for a few years now so the tax/future gains 'problem' keeps me locked in. I realize that there have been and will continue to be stocks that perform better than Intel. But if one wishes to remain invested in securities, one must automatically deduct the tax bite from any consideration of another security's anticipated growth (yet another 'problem').

I'm sure your aware of all this, your sophisticated exit strategies belie your savvy. I'm just sort of ramblin out loud.

Have a nice weekend (everyone)!

Chris
