Re: "Of course, the 6-8 billion per year profit figure is nonsense. Good lord, if Intel was making that kind of money, they would be paying big dividends or reducing the stock float." Is this statement intended as a joke? EP

Tom - <Of course, the 6-8 billion per year profit figure is nonsense. Good lord, if Intel was making that kind of money, they would be paying big dividends or reducing the stock float.> Do you actually have the audacity to claim that Intel's profit figures are bogus? Mighty impressive there Tom. Gee, I want to be just like you, i.e., clueless. PB

Good lord, if Intel was making that kind of money, they would be paying big dividends or reducing the stock float. So the logic behind this statement is that because INTC does not pay out more in dividends, they are not making money?!?! Logically, it would follow that MSFT is not profitable because they pay out no dividends whatsoever. This is Bear logic or should I say illogic. Stick to the Burke thread. You guys can all huddle together and pray for the end of the world. the 6-8 billion per year profit figure is nonsense Let's get it straight now. The only nonsensical thing here is your statement.

This is because of the repurchase of stock with cash or from exercise of non-exchange listed puts sold by Intel. For details see the notes on the Balance Sheet. The income statement has little to do with cash-flow. See cash flow statement to see when cash came and where it went. All of this stuff is available by clicking the SEC button at the bottom of the messages. I am sure you can figure out everything yourself, or, if necessary, go to business school.
