Jonathan Joseph at SSB did the same calculations and came to the same conclusions I did on INTC unloading MU:

However, the improved outlook for the second half of the year hasn't stopped two major Micron
shareholders from cashing in. Texas Instruments, which sold its memory chip unit to Micron in
1998, has been selling, as has Intel, which yesterday reported that it would have $1.6 billion in
higher-than-expected income from stock sales, predominately that of Micron.

Joseph estimated that Intel may have sold as much as 20 million of its 25 million shares.

Now let's stop all that talk about how dumb the analysts are. -g-

Intel took on about 10% of Micron, and TXN had about another 5%. Lots of the rest is locked up pretty tightly by the funds, who are more or less forced to buy it every time the indexes get ramped. I'd say the distribution is just about done there.
