Re: foward-looking statements

I don't think Intel has been overly conservative in the forward looking statements. Intel has been very accurate with their revenue and especially margin guidance. Remember, they don't comment on EPS projections. That's for the analyst to forecast. If you look at the revenue and margin guidance given over the last few quarters they have been on target.

greg, Re: what do they do with all of that cash

And just remember they earned an extra $5 million/day in 1997 compared to 1996.

Nice, huh?

Aside from funding capital expenditures without debt, spending over $ 2 billion on R&D, and buying back a whole lot of shares, they still managed to earn a couple of hundred million or so on the interest on the remaining balance.

Such problems! And just think of all the cash they are going to receive when the many, many warrants get converted.

Greg,

My God, what do they do with all of that cash?

Several things come to my mind:

1. Invest it (if expected risk adjusted return is higher than treasury bills)
2. Make acquisitions
3. Keep it, invest it in treasury bills, turning INTC stock into a hybrid stock/money market account
4. Distribute excess cash to shareholdrs, giving them the option to decide what percentage of their assets they want to hold in Intel core business vs. money market account.
