Dew,

Just curious ... have you ever owned INTC?

Just for the record...

I do own INTC, nearly all acquired through Intel Stock Purchase Plan and Options. I exercised and held. I never was more than a first level manager.

The options were a heavy incentive to work hard and remain with the company. In fact, at least before August 2000, they were known as Golden Handcuffs.

From personal experience I still think options are an excellent employee incentive.

I'm now retired.
