Intel Corp (INTC)

[fingolfen]

Dont you feel Intel shareholder should be benefiting immensly from the technology lead and their dominant position in the market? Intel had a 2B quarter in 1997 and they are still at the same level, when the annual MPU sales have more than doubled. It's been a disaster for the shareholders over last several years and I have been wondering if it is a good strategy to keep fighting against a competitor (even a suicidal one like AMD) with nothing to show to the investor for so long.

Look at the oil companies, they are all together raking in gold (and screwing the consumers in the process). Why shouldn't the consumer take a backseat to benefit the shareholder for these two companies? In that context, aren't core2 priced too low?

Based on Intel stock price relative to the market, Intel stock seems to be doing very well.

Semiconductors aren't oil... and FYI, the oil companies are spending a MINT on stock buyback at this point...
