Intel Corp (INTC)

[flumoxed2012]

Much of your analysis I value. But you seem to misunderstand the real world. Many things must be ventured...nothing ventured nothing gained..but in cutting edge business, marketing, product development, etc, many ventures fail. It's like picking up women in bars...many attempts, maybe 90%, fail, but the 10% that succeed..oooh-la-la..

You put Intel under a critically strong microscope and incessantly point out failures...I think you are often way out of whack with reality. The fact is, they are alive, well, paying a great yield, and show excellent performance over the span of the past 5 years with much to look forward to. I am happy with my investment. I confess that I did have a large position in NVDA at that time which I liquidated and put proceeds into INTC. Yes...that was a big one that got away from me. But I also have liquidated many dogs over the years that never could or will never run.

As we have discussed, there are things about BK that bug us all, and there is considerable challenge in the markets INTC depends upon...I am most concerned about strong competitors emerging in data center. On the other hand there are things BK is doing that I like, such as fabbing for others and anything they're doing about advancing memory...in any case, I have dumped more than half my original position. Someone said it isn't a dividend growth stock..that may be true. I am looking for dividend growth and finding it elsewhere. If you want to get rich in the market you must find high yields that have high growth rates.
