Mani- That is no where close to being accurate. Analyst and media have been extremely critical of Intel in this regard. I should have said "investors" rather than "people." If it is so obvious, why did Intel not take a huge hit? Why did investors ignore such clear bad news? And I am sure all the INTC investor will also be critical after the capital gains diminish and year over year comparisons will look poor. I agree. Intel should have not included any capital gains in earnings, taken the hit for a bad quarter, if that is what they were left with, and gotten on down the road. Instead, they may have pushed the misery out for a quarter or two. Another possibility is that Intel has a trick up its sleeve, will have blow-out Q3 results, and will be able to keep cap gains out of it and still have a nice quarter. I don't know, but I continue to be genuinely puzzled as to why Intel didn't take a hit the day after earnings if the cap gains stuff is so obvious. Frank
