I dropped much of this one a while back to lock in gains, but still on the ride with a 1/4 position.

Because they are not - never have been - innovative. They are the Chevrolet of tech. Very reliable, sell a bunch of product, but nobody has ever gotten a boner over what Intel has or does. Sex sells and Intell is Jane Pauley.

Without even looking I'm guessing Intel stock is around $35? Been that way for decades.
This is a stock that should pay out a significant dividend.

How is snap just not at zero now. We’ve been making the same down 18% since earnings jokes since 2021.

Summer of '78, mom drove me in a Chevy Nova to a little flick called Star Wars. Powered by Intel.
Actually true.

I think INTC reported that they're cancelling their dividend because there is no profits to pay out.
And laying off 15k/15% of the workforce. It’s about as bad an earnings report you can have.
I hope you’re kidding because it closed AHs at $23.56. In 1997, it hit above $23. 27 years ago. Damn.
Because each time they lose 18%, it’s 18% OF A SMALLER NUMBER!!!How is snap just not at zero now. We’ve been making the same down 18% since earnings jokes since 2021.

I regretted not getting in on INTC when it was $25ish a couple years back or so.
I've watched many tech companies go through their rounds of layoffs only to report profits a quarter or two later, and the stock price benefits. I wonder if a $23 can turn into an opportunity to sell at $30 within the next year or so.
I worked for a financial services company in 1995-1996 in San Francisco. I watched some accounts trade INTC calls. Saw a few dudes make 7 figures with very little on the line. Moore's law is named after the former co-founder. This company was the pinnacle of the industry at the time - AMD was a distant second - and made PCs affordable and accessible (when Apple couldn't, by the way), so I don't think one can say it wasn't innovative. Yes, volume is how it made its money, but it was the industry leader on the tech front. It's a sad story if you think about it.

I see...too many jobs is bad because rates won't get cut but not enough jobs is also bad because rates didn't get cut.
Yep. Thankfully someone here, probably todem, convinced me to sell months ago.

Future fine and a scolding letter. But I’ll buy more if the market drops on it.

Will probably be NVDA's chips that run the AI that will determine the fine amount and write the letter.

Must be election time.
Well, not exactly. Their co-founder Gordon Moore was very innovative and brilliant and if you've ever heard of Moore's Law, well, that's him.
They are much more a commodity company now and the industry has moved past them for years, and it accelerated the past 5 or so years. At this point you can probably kiss them goodbye.
And if you want to pinpoint their downfall, they went from a CEO from the greatest university in the country to Pat Gelsinger who may be on the shortlist of worst CEO's of all time. That's what happens when you downgrade to a STanford grad. Lesson to be learned there.

Market reaction definitely seems to be that the Fed made the policy error it had been avoiding thus far. Should have added more duration.

Looks like we’ve finally shifted in the market from bad economic news being good news to bad news being bad news.
I thought about it but decided to play it safe and just buy some SPY instead.

Was a matter of time. With how fast they raised interest rates, it’s finally being felt.
Healthy sell off. And overdue if you think about it.
I am thinking 5-7% more downside from here easily. That will be our first real correction in 2024.
We had two quick NY minute 5% corrections this year. Time for that 10-15% and then by year end we snap back to where we were in mid July once we have clarity on policy the next 4 years.
Par for the course.

I hate buying on Fridays.
Things happen over the weekend.
Don’t get crazy here….we have more downside ahead.

It's always fun to see companies jump on earnings and then immediately get hammered back below where they were by the broader market (looking at you, PYPL). Curious to see what happens to MELI from here. Seems unlikely they hold these gains. Already starting to leak a bit.

Sometimes you have to laugh. Have been thinking of adding a little to my AMT position. Just looked and it's up 2.5% today, my only one in the green. Sigh.

Very fair, they did have their day and yes, I'm not taking into account their history. They've had some pretty bad leaders lately - I think one guy was ready to go ALL IN on drones. Not sure he lasted long.
