Intel started reporting sales of its MU stake back in May of 2000, when MU was above $50/share. Once the Intel stake dropped below 5% of MU they no longer were obligated to disclose sales, but it is a reasonable guess that Intel booked in excess of $1 billion of profit from MU stock.

>>>>Skeeter you forget that our friends of MU gave 500 millions free in capital gain on its stock to Intel, to finance the ramp up of RDRAM<<<< mu didn't give intel stock to finance the ramp of rdram. intel approached micron and gave them $500 million (intel gave other companies money, too!). micron gave them stock instead (trading stock for cash is mu's REAL business!). mu couldn't give aa sh* about rmbs. they just took intel's dumb money to keep operational. if you have an extra $500 million, mu will trade you stock for it, too!
