I have considered Xeon; I expect margins there to drop as AMD and CPQ attack servers. Competition will keep Intel from exacting monopoly rents. 0.18 mu is good; PC demand is bad, as is Rambus. Rather than guess future margins, I went with textbook growth, retention times ROE. I expect PC revenues to flatten or shrink, so a continued high ROE is generous. I'd love to hear your estimates for the future. We could compare notes, wait a few years, and see how Intel does. Off topic: my trades concern only me and the IRS. However: - none of my puts have expired worthless - all my closed puts have returned >100% All that that means, though, is that I've been lucky. As the old saw goes, don't mistake brains for a bull market. I still own puts (cf #reply-8219434). Best case, INTC cracks, my INQPB's go up a lot. Medium, INTC rockets, puts expire, I get higher strike puts. Worst, INTC meanders down, puts expire, new puts are less attractive. mb
