Ali - Re: "If you think Intel is making so much money, read this: " Thanks once more for illustrating to us all that you have no ability to comprehend FACTS! The article you posted confirmed that Intel did indeed EARN PROFITS of $6 Billion last year. Profits - Ali - remember those? As for his slant on dividends - that is a poor way to invest profits. Intel invests in R & D, capital expansion and third party software/hardware vendors. That is why Intel CONTINUES to make PROFITS, year after year after year. Profits, Ali - can you remember what Profits are? Paul

Ali, When Intel realizes it can't preserves its huge profit margins, the dividend will be cut or removed. Of course it is so small and may not be big deal. As I recall, when Intel announced its first dividend, the stock jumped multiple points. When it announced another small dividend hike, shares jumped few more. I have seen stock drop big time when dividends are lower. Your guess are as good as mine what will happen if Intel decides to cut. I would watch for insiders' actions. They seem to know when the axe will fall.
