Michael, Re: Looks like their earnings from investment are outperforming the earnings from business from a percentage standpoint.
Maybe Intel should become an investment company and forego chips.

Given the result of NASDAQ last year, I wonder if there is one single company in this world that can beat Intel's investment earning :-)

Just curious, while people chase after CMGI for its portfolio, Intel's investment on the other hand sounds like sin. They are basically doing the same thing, though with different objective. So to me, Intel is even better, expanding the pie through investment in those companies(thus increase the demand for its core products) and pocket nice little profit as bonus.

Well, I am just a naive Intel shareholder.

Michael,

<Maybe Intel should become an investment company and forego chips.>

It's not an either or situation. Apparently, Intel can handle both just fine <g>.

BTW, as Dan Niles correctly pointed out, Intel still beat estimates even if you subtract out the Other Income above the 280 guidance. Without the extra Other Income, the EPS would have been 0.64.
