Intel ... toe in water

It wasn't a major purchase .. but I bought my first shares (only 5) of INTC yesterday. The Wiki article on Intel is pretty interesting as is the corporate site (Check out "See what 40 years of innovation looks like"). My first computer had an Intel 8080-compatible Z80

My son asked me why I bought Intel. Answer: They are big.  They are public (listed). They are profitable. They pay a dividend. Chart from yahoo finance.
