Yousef, You know the safe bet here is Intel and NSM is the wild card. Sometimes the wild card gets drawn. Sometimes not. You have to pull the trigger. Hopefully, your only stock is not Intel...or all of them are not in the tech sector. Jim

Yousef, There is no doubt that Intel has the largest market share of the CPU business and makes good processors. What would the price of the newest computers be if there was no competition to act as "check and balances" against Intel. History has proved that monopolies in any industry tend to gouge the public, a classic example is Bell Telephone. Consider this competition as healthy exercise for the market. Seems like Intels' margins are shrinking each quarter since they are being forced to lower prices by such small competition, I wonder why? They do have a formidable organization/corporation, unfortunately it takes huge overhead to just meet the expenses required to run such a large company. Maybe they have reached a point of diminishing returns where expenses exceed income potential. Just my opinion, BB
