Ed, you are correct in saying tax should not be a factor in selling any stock, especially when you already qualify for the LTCG at 20%. Wait too long to sell and you will be hit with the mother of all taxes, the 55% death tax. With 22 grandchildren, you might want to consider making them INTC shareholders as well. Remember folks, it's never too late to buy MSFT.

INTC is going to help MSFT to grow and vice versa - symbiotic. If Forbes gets elected there will be no taxing of capital and savings. Go Forbes! My return form INTC has been great I bought it in 1992 and 7 years later it is worth more than 8x when I went in. I remember back in '92 every said it should be priced like a cyclical (somewhere around 13x) To enhance my return I thought I would play it smart and sell some way out of the money leaps. As Craemer says -Wrong! The stock immediately doubled and I was scrambling to repurchase those calls. I'll never doubt this premier company again. They are the crown jewel of American industry! JFD
