If Compaq is not taking in a lot of chips (PIII), then they are in trouble not Intel.

Michael, You seem to have less regard for tax problems than I do. Let me pose two problems for you. 1. Would you sell Intel at $114 ? Assume a tax rate of 25% (state plus federal) and a basis of $14. 2. Assuming the answer to #1 is no, even knowing what you know now (perfect vision up to the present), would you have sold at $125 ? It will be interesting to see how your answers will play out in the future. In contemplating this problem, you may come to appreciate the problems of the long term holder. Best Trading, X
