Mike, I agree that what you say is the way it is: When Intel, and other well run, profitable companies, do something note worthy in a positive light, that is expected, so the stock doesn't react much. I notice on other threads that stockholders want their stocks to jump because of their companies' "flashy" non-core business interests: - Seagate because of their Veritas Software holdings - Dell because of Gigabuys etc. Doesn't seem to want to happen though.

Mike - Re: "I think it's a difference between "Potential" and "Expectation" that causes this. When some companies, whether a .com or a wannabee chip company does something notable, their stock takes a jump because of the potential that they will succeed and be profitable. When Intel, and other well run, profitable companies, do something note worthy in a positive light, that is expected, so the stock doesn't react much. It is only really notable to the news and ANAL-ysts when Intel makes a mistake. 'Creates a great opportunity for churn." I don't know. This seems to work for IBM and CISCO and Microsoft and SUN. Paul
