"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? All high tech companies should pay dividends, just like PG&E or New England Electric do. Why else would we want to buy stocks? Nothing has changed in 50 years, we all buy stocks for dividends only. Plowing money back into R&D be damned, just crank out the same products for 10 years at a time. Tony
