Tony, <Another way to look at it is engineers' salaries, about 10,000 of them for a full year, including a lot of overhead.> Still another way to look at it is the free PCs that we employees are supposed to get sooner or later! ;-) On the other hand, I heard the free PCs have been delayed until next year because of the supply-side constraints. Bummer. :-( Tenchusatsu

Tony, Another way to look at it is engineers' salaries, about 10,000 of them for a full year, including a lot of overhead. Great point. To me, whoever derides stock sales income is probably a fan of a company that can't afford to invest, or too stupid. Intel sure seems to be committed to Intel Capitol as an ongoing division, I wonder how many quarters it should take before their "earnings" should start to be considered recurring? Their results since the start of Intel Capitol: 4th Q 99 - $320 million 1st Q 00 - $449 million 2nd Q 00 guidance - $750 million, revised to $2.3 billion Obviously they won't "earn" $2.3 billion on an ongoing basis, but $750 million isn't chump change. I also wonder if the capitol gains stay in the Intel Capitol division for future investment, or are commingled with other Intel operating funds. Could be hard to find a home for $2.3 billion.
