Intel Corp (INTC)

[imho]

fastpathguru,

In particular, according to the SEC, Dell executives failed to let investors know about large payments from Intel that had been made to convince Dell not to use processors from Advanced Micro Devices in its systems.

"It was these payments rather than the company's management and operations that allowed Dell to meet its earnings targets, the SEC said in a statement July 22."

In the above two paragraphs, the first paragraph is what the author interprets about the payments, yet the second paragraph is a direct quote of the SEC about "these payments". What payments in the second paragraph is the SEC talking about? If it where the payments in the first paragraph, why is the first paragraph not a direct quote, like the second? You digg what I am saying?

IOW, show me the above two paragraphs that are directly from an SEC document and can be quoted as such.

IMHO
