If I owned shares of Intel I would have held them for now, but realistically speaking they won’t come back anytime soon. It’s AMD’s next few years and I would bet at the moment on those two stocks AMD and Xilinx.

However, Xilinx is being investigated for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in connection with the proposed acquisition of the company by AMD. Under the terms of the agreement, XLNX shareholders will receive 1.7234 shares of AMD common stock for each XLNX share that they own, representing implied per-share merger consideration of $164.34 based upon AMD's January 12, 2021 closing price of $95.36.

Once this is clarified and the acquisition goes through, it should be able to further strengthen AMD’s position on the chip market.

Got a good feeling about Lemonade... a bit skitty at the moment but all the signs of a surge, here's an idea of it's strength..

Hmm Google just officially closed its acquisition of Fitbit and Fitbit shares are still at rock bottom....

Today AMAT semiconductor comp. jumped over 7%. I read good things about them last year and acquired some shares all the same.

gaming is their market, no?
Noone needs 16 cores in masses, the Apple folks are gonna go M1, the AI/ML folk goes GPU, and there is relatively few of the video people that need cinebench all the time.

For everyday use, a standard i5 is enough for every rational task (alas I'm using a 7-yr old i7 and it's not totally fine).

that's true. plus everyone is designing their own chips now... we'll see what happens.

Intel has all the money in the world to turn the tanker around quicker. Until then, they make more money yearly than all the chipmakers combined.

and they should be. nasty bunch those guys, not sharing any health data with any ecosystem framework.

Sure they have an interest in the gaming market but it's only one egg among many in the basket and we can agree to disagree on the other specifics.

I feel that this may be a rather subjective and emotional post.

totally

(I got myself a fitbit about 2 yrs ago and was so disappointed about this selfishness. Hope that Google will fix them and along with Fossil, do something that is both useful AND nice to look at)

I just always use Strava, for basic activities of sportsman minimalist that I am, and it never makes me emotional.

risky strategy if you think they will come back as you never know if the stock won't just keep going up.

that said, i think you're probably right. 2021 is probably a bad year for intel. just saw their earnings release and surprised that the stock price isn't down more on the numbers.

Intel is an interesting stock now. Just looking purely at numbers it looks like a screaming value buy (well at least when it was in the 40-50 price range), but i do have doubts about their future margins/pricing power.

they still make almost 3 times AMD's yearly revenue. Quarterly.

yup. they are a financial powerhouse. even if their operational problems persist, they can still keep shareholders happy with buybacks.

I bought 10,000 Novonix Ord (G3) at €0.69 in November 2020 on the Berlin exchange.

They are involved in battery manufacturing. They closed last night at €1.78...

What do you think about NIO? Bought few shares yesterday.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla...141443116.html

Their stock is correlating a lot with that of TSLA, latter having a ridiculous valuation (IMHO) at the moment.
NIO are also at risk of getting kicked out of the NYSE (maybe not so much since Biden was finally elected).

I believe that Biden is going to reverse those crazy policies created by his predecessor. Having said that, I hope that the new administration will also be positively inclined towards the cryptocurrencies despite the rumours of strict regulations on those ahead.

I wonder if the dollar will strengthen vs the franc in the next year or two as a result of Bides presidency and the renewed faith in the USA both politically and as a trading partner.

Stolen from twitter, just a Friday joke

Why so optimistic? This is the guy who with his first executive order decided to let transgenders participate in female sports. That's what he deeded important.

My bet is he'll be as much as a disaster as Trump if he even lives enough. If his VP becomes President prepare for a leftist "paradise"

Why I don't short stocks reason #372: I've been following this hilarious story of a bunch of nerds on reddit engineering a short squeeze to drive a stock to extreme levels:
