But neither is XOM a fair comparison. Over the past 5 years, they've increased earnings at an annualized rate of about 15% or so a year. Intel still hasn't hit their earnings point of 5 years ago. If Intel had seen XOM's growth rate, odds are their market cap would be around XOM's, too.

Brian, if you own INTC I hope you do well with it. Only reason I posted is that lots of folks have been saying what you are for years with these cash laden techs and it's done nothing but cost them money. It's unlikely that the next big thing in tech that makes you big bucks will originate with the old guard. The chart on this stock looks terrible but at some point it will turn. Good luck, John PS - I'm well aware of the debt and health care obligations of the automakers, just trying to point out how low market cap can get. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Kerkorian might do better with GM over the long term than INTC investors. He is a pretty smart cookie.
