INTC playing the Internet/Services Card !!!! news.com YES !!!!!!! These guys are milking the Internet card and playing the Jack Welch services card... ''In 1980, GE was 15 percent services, and 85 percent products,'' he said. ''We will leave the decade at 25 percent products, and 75 percent services.'' BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If INTC can pull it off, the street may be willing to award them a much higher multiple than they have ever received in the past as a mere semiconductor/chip manufacturer, albeit the absolute leader, #1 in the world !!!!! INTC continuing to re-invent themselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS COMPANY !!!!!!!!!!! YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jimbo.

Kenya, I think it is based on the premise that once a certain percentage has been traded, you can assume that the eager sellers are out, the long term holders have stayed, and the new arrivals have entered. To this extent, you have established a new shareholder base, as well as a price base, having achieved equilibrium. Sounds reasonable, hope it works. If El's number of shares is used, we should be about half way there. Don't think you can go too wrong buying anywhere under 23. Whys1

Ovviously the theory has to work at some percentage level. If you've traded 100% of the shares at a given level, seems like you've got a new shareholder base. I just don't know what the percentage was that they used, cause I don't remember the # of shares outstanding(maybe 1.7b?) and I can't remember the exact #, but was 500 million +. would be fair to say, I guess, that roughly 1/3 of the total outstanding traded creates a base by the theory.
