Peter Principle - re: "The thing to really know if a company is actually earning money is to look at current total stockholder equity. For the last six months, Intel numbers in this have dropped just under $600 million. Subtract dividends of just under $270 million and you get that Intel lost over $300 million in net worth over the last six months (4.4 cents per share). AMD, on the other hand, gained over $628 million over the same period ($1.84 per share). It just goes to show how you can cook the books to show profits while actually incurring losses."

You're worried - ain't ya ?? !!

Pete:
Stockholder (shareholder actually) equity is just a (in this case GAAP) accounting plug. You have it as the most important item to look at, while I cannot think of a more un-important item as it is almost totally meaningless as current measure of anything.

Your other arguments are at least moot.
