Tom, Re: "I strongly disagree with your contention that INTC should leverage itself up, a la IBM. INTC's strong balance sheet is a powerful tool for future growth (and survival if tech goes into a big recession)."

Well then, I would have to agree with you if Intel is preparing for SURVIVAL! I would have to say either they are in big trouble going forward or they are PARANOID! going forward. Either way investors don't want to participate. Which leaves the rest of us HOLDING and waiting until better days come around or a better investment environment than the current one.

RE: " IBM has mortgaged its future to prop up its stock price in the
near-term, whereas INTC has prepared for the future while leaving its stock on its own for the short-term"

Yea. Just like the Federal Government does when they sell bonds borrow from (mortgage) the future. It's the American way, and it WORKS!
