Re: Intel is a better company than 95% of the rest

Could be, I could not resist it too - the 2003 spreads were dirt-cheap at the end of the day.

as far as article, I agree that there is no real news but the prices are defined by mob.

The more serious is Taiwan market problems due to part shortages and slower than expected pc demand. It is so bad that government is considering to buy stocks for support

To all: Did INTC split today? I know the date is the end of July (isnt it) but based on the price thought it might have come early. JDN

Jim, <Intel won't get such a high valuation running a mutual
fund/venture capital firm forever...Maybe some paranoid
wall streeters decided to worry about that today...>

And its a venture capital firm with a rapidly dropping
portfolio value:

Q1 earnings report:
April 1, 2000 (in millions) Carrying Value UnrlzdGain Cost
Marketable securities $9,809 7,800 $2,009
Non-marketable securities 1,009
Total portfolio $10,818
Q2 earnings report:
July 1, 2000 (in millions) Carrying Value UnrlzdGain Cost
Marketable securities $6,201 4,600 $1,601
Non-marketable securities $1,300
Total portfolio $7,501

According to the Q2 statement, Intel realized gains of just
2.1B in the second quarter. BUT THEIR UNREALIZED GAINS
DROPPED BY $3.2 BILLION.


An additional $1.1 Billion just disappeared.

Intel can do this for one and a half more quarters and then
there will be nothing to sell at a gain.
