This is not as good as it sounds. Intel made 3.7B in investment income in 2000. If memory serves right, they also made 800-900 million in 1999 from investment gains. If Intel is now ahead 2B, that means they have lost a lot of money since then. Not exactly, you are confusing expenses with assets. But don't feel too badly, the guys at WCOM did the same thing. But of course, under the new proposals, you will now have to go to jail.

If Intel is now ahead 2B, that means they have lost a lot of money since then. --- Only on Paper. The original investments are intact, the companies invested in are starting to bring their new products to market, and the portfolio is in the green. OK by me. Another way to think abut this is to remember where the money was made. Intel made something close to 2B in Micron alone. If now they are ahead by 2B or 3-4B, the gains from all these 300 investments in startups is not as great as it might sound. ---So the Capital Fund Made more than some years and less than others. So what. +2 Billion is +2 Billion, and I'm O.K. with that even if they simply break even. intel isn't an investment company, and the goal is to invest in emerging companies that are developing new technologies, that work with intel products. Any Capital Gain is gravy. Semi
