You said INTC's pricing was "predatory". I asked for some support for that statement. Huge companies like this get all kinds of accusations hurled at them. Perhaps they were convicted of something, but I don't recall it.

As you know, INTC controls a lot of the chip production in the US....after all, AMD is a very weak competitor in the PC realm and INTC doesn't have huge competition in other market niches it occupies. A few years ago, they were under scrutiny by the Feds for predatory pricing. I believe they were found guilty and paid a fine but Ten would know more than I on the subject You are out of your league, Ted: Besides Flash Intel is doing extremely poorly in all other markets where they play. In spite of having invested billions in those areas. Take networking for instance... Taro

However, there is the perception........and no one is sure how accurate it is.......that demand is close to supply. Do you realize how your writing indicates you have little understanding of economics. Demand = supply in 99% of industries, price is the thing that changes. As for INTC, it is in a monopoly position (> 50% of cpu market share), in its industry so of course it exploits that situation. ALL monopolies (defined as companies with > 50% market share) do the same thing. What in the world do you teach????
