Just to put things in perspective folks, a 1.6 billion dollar gain is fully reflected by a 0.50$ rise in the share price (as this is a non recurring / non continuing operations gain). The same can be said for the charge, only the numbers are about 0.07$ Intel's current share price, and 175-200$ projection is based solely on the projected growth from their main business, and their investment portfolio makes up only a very small part of this market cap.

John - Re: "The Street.com/New York Times manages a paragraph towards the end of the article about the gain. Bad news makes better headlines, but investors deserve better reporting when they are making important decisions. Tabloid journalism, IMHO." I have long since given up expecting to get, good objective reporting of news from ANY NEWS SOURCE. The Media usually has their own AGENDA and they serve that AGENDA first . As for Intel as an investment, the "good news" eventually gets factored in - but only after the bad news does some real severe damage to the stock. Paul

John, RE: We've talked before on this thread about how the business press focuses on bad news and ignores good news, especially where Intel is concerned. The way this $200M charge and $2.3B gain is being reported is a perfect example of their bias towards the negative. The investment gain is old news. Intel filed to sell the MU shares a couple of weeks ago, and made the news then. The charge is new, thus the emphasis. The Intel bulls continually complain about the negative bias, and the Intel bears continually complain about the positive bias. It seems to me that would indicate that the information flow is pretty balanced.
