This was too funny (and it hits the nail on the head IMO) not to crosspost: Has anyone here ever seen that guy who spins basketballs on his body on talk shows and stuff? He really reminds me of Intel. Instead of basketball imagine product lines. First he gets one basketball going and it looks pretty cool. Then he puts on a second, and then a third. Eventually, he has a basketball spinning on about seven parts of his body. It is really impressive. Then I saw this happen one time: He saw one of the balls start to waver and then tried to shift his body and get it going again. One by one, the basketballs fell until he sat there with no balls looking like a total moron. The moral of the story is: Don't spin too many basketballs at once or else you may have to recall almost a million motherboards, lose market-share in your core product line, fall behind in high-margin chip shipments and sell securities on the side to support lagging revenues. ;) boards.fool.com
