Intel stock was surging 29% ahead of the open Friday as the chip maker’s strong recent rally looked set to go to another level after its first-quarter earnings. ---SNIP---
But Tan, the new dealmaking CEO, has shaken up the narrative. First, he sold a 9% share of the company to the U.S. government, earning the favor of President Donald Trump. Then he formed a loose partnership with Nvidia

I yelled at people to buy $18 intel 6 months ago. Yelled, , screamed, cajoled, urged. Not grabbing intc was one of the dumbest moves in stock market history. If you recall, when Intel hit 18 it was lagging in AI, it had the bad chips, the hot Secretary left, whatever, and it was so obvious that it would double in a year.
I didn’t buy more, but at least I didn’t sell. I considered selling, but I am glad I rode it out.
That is the way I feel about MSFT right now. Thoughts??
Please put me on your “yell” list.
I own VTI and similar. My annual returns over the last 10 years have been 11.8% per year according to Vanguard.
Yawn.
Texas Instruments was also up 20% yesterday. US chip makers are having a great week.
Well, the money from the government certainly didn’t hurt.
I can’t say I have that feeling about microsoft. Strictly my opinion. I think the market is really, really high. When you see caterpillar at $800 and Goldman Sachs over $900, I think those are crazy high numbers even though those are great companies. Wasn’t msft $370 2-3 weeks ago?
One thing I consider is how big the swings are in the market these days. I got my buddy into some American Express the other day when it dropped 28 points. Intel, at $18, what is your risk? $2- $3? I suppose that’s the same picture of 10% instantaneous points on a $300-400 stock, but there’s a different psychological freakout when your stock drops 30 points!
I agree about the swings. The market is very expensive now. The swings in many individual stocks lately have been breathtaking (in prices and percentages).
SNDK is a perfect example. It even blows away the rise in INTC.
FYI,,,,,,semiconductors are now up 17 days in a row….that is absurd. Time for some profit taking.
Absolutely, and AMD and MU and all manner of chip stocks. Gone wild.
That’s good info. Thanks FRiend!!
I’ve been buying all these kinds of stocks since President Trump took office again and I am up 28.5% since Jan, 2025. This is for all stocks And I have a wide arrray.
28% is what is called a buying opportunity.
Based on today’s price, the government has a $30 billion profit on INTL.
AMD is way up this past month
UP $143+
