To All: Get ready for a rough open tomorrow. At this point the Hang Seng (Hong Kong stock exchange) is down 5 percent and the Neikkei (Tokyo stock exchange) is down about 3 percent to about its 52-week low. In case you don't remember, a drop in the Asian markets sparked the drop in the U.S. a week ago. Might be a good time to buy on the dip though.

You have a valid point in many ways, particularly concerning the psychology of buyers. However Intel has stated that the big profits on a new chip don't occur right after it is introduced. (probably yields are low at this stage) They come months later, when true mass production is achieved. It costs almost as much to produce a wafer with 10 good chips as one with 100 good chips. At this point the price is a bit lower, but the yields are a lot higher, so the profit margin is higher.
