I don't think these particular earnings are going to mean much for the market in the short term.

It was out of favor two months ago in this short-term mentality market. They're growing earnings. They're doing a very nice job. Intel, I think, is going to be a nice core holding for the next 5 years. This month, next month, this week, next week -- I don't think it matters. If you have money that can be in the market for 5 years, Intel is a good place for part of it.

The election is exaggerating the short term, but it's not the issue. The issue is the deceleration of earnings and the contraction of multiples because prices got way out of whack with what future earnings were going to be.

If not for the strong earnings, I think the market would be a lot weaker than it is. But that's not enough to lift the market out of a trading range. There's just too much uncertainty for markets to move higher.

Who's going to be the needle mover in 2008, 2009, 2012? We can't think that short term. We have to think long term. If we would have thought short term, we would not have moved. We're going to continue to think long term. We're going to continue to think about how we can improve our product.
