(IMO - a good read)
Actually, if Taiwan Semiconductor and United Microelectronics design superior chips at cheaper costs, it would spell doom for all but one U.S. chip maker. As I mentioned at the beginning, that chip maker would be Intel. The U.S. company has resisted the temptation to outsource its production process and to this day is the only major U.S. player that fabricates its products.
So while it may have been late to the game in designing chips for the mobile revolution, I'm pretty confident in Intel's future. With the stock currently offering a 3.5% dividend that accounts for only 32% of the company's profits, and trading with a PEG ratio under 1, I think Intel is a great long-term bet.[/b]
