Let meat stand at cool room temperature about 45 minutes before roasting. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Put roast on a metal rack in a roasting pan (fat side up) and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Add about 1/4 inch water to bottom of pan and put roast in middle of oven.
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock has bounced between $28 and $35 this year, but its current price represents nearly flat growth from the beginning of the year. That range-bound trading can likely be attributed to the sluggish PC market, weak demand for its data center chips, and its humbling retreat from the mobile market.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) stock continues to trade just off all-time highs, with its market capitalization now at $500 billion. I continue to be surprised at the strength shown by Microsoft stock.
