Intel - An Obvious Opportunity Obscured By 'Clouds' [View article]
As someone who trades INTC and has been doing so for many years, the short term action has been very unique. The last few weeks have seen almost a total flatline after the stock had dropped considerably over previous months. This is something I have essentially never seen before. There is always some sort of sharp bounce after a decline, this bounce does not always hold but it does at least bounce. It appears now that there is very calculated selling on every tiny (.05-.20) bounce that looks as if funds are continuing to unload positions. Really not sure what comes next but the action is certainly rather unique for INTC currently.
In response to the slowdown in the buy back, I do believe that INTC is strategic with the timing of their buybacks, seems wise that they would have paused when the stock price broke out above 25. I would expect they are buying at these levels or soon will be.

Yes but in the long term we are all dead, and I'm kidding. Look I don't disagree that INTC will recover and do well. What I am pointing to is how you as the writer attempt to essentially cover yourself by predicting down in near term and up longer term. From there you really can't be wrong. Up or down you predicted it. It's really not your fault the financial services world essentially lives on it. A much more honest way to write the truth would be, "While I have no idea if INTC falls much lower in the near term, I believe that this is a hardcore long-term buy." That is an honest statement about what you believe, and I wish the way people wrote about investing.

It seems odd to hear you now say that there is going to be a lot of pain short term, you were calling it cheap and buying at 26 after Dell and HPQ had both reported and there was essentially no doubt that INTC was going to warn. Its a strategy I hate to see writers use (but sadly most do) to say something is going lower yet not say they are selling. That way if it goes lower it's, "look I was right I said it was going lower" and if it goes up from there it's "see I told you it would rebound." An unfair way to try look good.

It truly is ridiculous I went to college thinking I wanted to be an analyst until I realized that they really had no clue and that the ratings they produced had no value. At least a trader stands behind his decisions.

Yeah it would be amazing if it didn't happen over and over again, the business of upgrades and downgrades is ridiculous.

Ashraf,
I don't have an issue with what you write about in your articles covering INTC. I hope I have made that clear. What I do take issue with is your constant repetition of essentially the exact same point. Without exaggeration you have probably written 30+ articles over the past month or so all saying essentially the same thing "You believe INTC is a good investment". At the beginning of your run of INTC articles I read a few and thought this guy makes some good points. As you made the same point in 10 then 20 then 30 articles I thought ok this guy is way too biased to be taken seriously. I am now of the belief that you actually continue to pump INTC in the hopes that if you write enough positive articles it actually might help boost the stock price.
I am not someone who criticizes ideas, I have no problem with you believing that INTC is a good investment. It is like the story of Chicken Little however, if you continue to repeat the same story over and over again people will tune you out. I said it the other day I am really surprised that SA continues to publish your articles day after day. I do hope that INTC stock performs well for you, I own some as well. I strongly believe that if you write fewer articles championing INTC that you will gain more credibility. Best of luck

Ashraf, you have to give it a rest your daily positive article on INTC continues to seem more and more desperate, you are quickly losing any and all credibility.

Because nobody has ever hit .500 at any level of professional baseball Baseball analogies work at .300, maybe even .400 but simply don't fit at .500, and Ty Cobb hit .366 not a .366, thinking you don't watch much baseball.
"People need to study their facts" before criticizing speculators, CME chairman Terry Duffy says in response to Pres. Obama's blaming traders for driving fuel prices higher. Speculators provide vital liquidity to markets: "When the Dow goes above 13,000, Google goes above $600/share and everybody celebrates, who do you think did that? The U.S. equity market is 100% speculators." [View news story]
Very true been saying it for years the governement encourages stock speculation while deeming all other speculation as evil. It makes no sense, but it's all they can do to try and fix things.
Don't worry more people will drop out of the work force, unemployment rate will keep declining. As long as pubicly traded CEO's keep getting rich off of central bank mandated higher stock prices everything will be fine.
