What is your opinion of these two stocks in the next 90 days: Intel and Microsoft?

Do you feel that the Obama people are mainly, at the lower levels going to be from the "wired" generation? Does this mean a lot of new demand for laptops bought by the Agencies? Will the $200 Billion in credit card bailout mean that small businesses and individuals will be able to invest in laptops and Vista? Is the MSFT $40 Billion share buyback process going to help the share value in the next 90 days? Does Intel have any major US competition for its new NAND memory chips or for its 64 bit CPU’s. Is Vista and Windows Professional XP going well enough to take a major role in reforming healthcare? How do MSFT and INTC stand in comparison to the rest of the Nasdaq stocks in your view. How do they stand in comparison to all stocks? How do all stocks stand in comparison to all other investments (bonds, land, foreign exchange, gold etc). Does a special dividend seem possible in December for MSFT or INTC?

Both are technology companies with strong balance sheets, fairly priced and pay dividends. I don’t think Obama people from the "wired" generation has anything to do with the long term investment potential of either company. No, the $200 Billion in credit card bailout does not mean that small businesses and individuals will be able to invest in laptops and Vista. No, Microsoft’s share buyback will not help share value in 90 days. Advanced Micro devices competes. No a windows product is not likely for healthcare reform. Microsoft and Intel are the largest of nasdaq stocks, they are still pretty large in comparison to all stocks. Presently the secondary market for investment grade corporate bond offers the best risk/reward. No, special dividends.
