<Did you see Andy Grove on Charlie Rose last night? He reiterated the point that the eventual winners increase capital spending during recessions to come out of the recession with new technology in hand.>

WTF is he talking about?? The last recession of any consequence was 1980 and before, he's talking about 'semi-cycles' and will get FREAKIN BURIED in the coming REAL downturn IMO.

Nadine:

The real problem for Intel is that their products have been totally commoditized. As one might expect when this occurs, profits are squished. Intel had better pull a technological rabbit from the hat, and soon.

With respect to chips, it just doesn't make sense to spend multi billions in cap ex to build a commoditized product in even greater numbers and at even lower cost when the market for those products is already awash in excess supply and excess production capacity.

Best, Earlie
