Intel get's mistreated by wall street year after year. Since 2006 Intel has posted anywhere from 1.6 to 2.2 billion in profits yet it's stock price is hovering at 20.00 a share when compared to the chumps at Merrill Lynch that does nothing for society has had profits of 1.6 to 2.2 billion dollars and there stock is trading in the mid 50's!

I am glad Intel has plenty of cash, but i doubt the market will get better in next 4 quarters for 3 reasons, 1) Everyone needs a house but they not able to pay coz they lost their jobs or they rather save the cash for future not some Atom or PC…. 2) The industry is down… Intel needs Enterprise business, the boom in Asia will come down as cultural wise, Asian are among those who save more and especially during bad times, dont think they will buy any Quad-cores, workstations or cheap laptops…. 3) There is no sign of recovering…lay offs, spending cuts… who buys a PC nowadays unless it is broken?

I am glad to see that there are companies out there still practicing tried and true fiscal responsibility. How did Standard Oil as big as it was? Through exactly the same prinicples as described here – always strive to be lean, save money when times are good, continue to spend when times are hard because you can get more for your money.

Hopefully Intel will continue to thrive. After all, this isn't the end of personal computing, merely a slow-down in the eternal growth.
