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: Thanks for saying that. 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... No, let's look at the overall company. Last year, INTC's revenues increased $4 billion YOY. EPS was at $1.16 for the year. Gross margins were at 58% vs 53% for the semi industry. Their NPM was 22% vs 18%. Their ROE was 20% vs 16% for the industry. ROI was 19% vs 15%. For an established tech company of 25 years plus, that ain't too shabby.......but what do I know. Are you sure you're in the right league? ted
