Comments on INTC?

The news is widely known and pretty much can't be avoided. Putting it here it will likely be ignored just as it was when it appeared in ten other news sources, if that happen's to be a speculator's "method." Bottom line is it's 1. redundant and 2. smacks of "I told you so..."Quote from graemem:
You may be right......however, he is posting the right sort of news for this thread.
Many posters here are concentrating on engineering advantages/advances of INTC vs AMD as reasons for buying the stocks of these companies. Essentially these two companies manufacture components, albeit very hi tech ones, that go into other pieces of equipment ie PC's for the most part. The assumption is that better engineered and more advanced components will drive the sales of the end piece of equipment. Maybe that happened ten years ago....
Personally I can't see any real good reason for the big PC companies to perform any better over the next year or so. However if you are a long term investor, maybe its coming up to the time when these stocks offer some incredibly good buying. If over the next couple of years there is some REAL quantum leap in technology, which in turn drives a sector, then INTC will probably be in the best position to take advantage of such a shift rather than AMD, purely on size alone.

Given that the effect of better engineered components leading to higher sales is something that only happened "10 years ago", please explain the reason for AMD gaining market share over the past 2-3 years, vs. Intel losing market share.
You might know something about trading, but you sure aren't coming across as having much of a clue regarding what drives the technology involved in the products that AMD and Intel sell as their core businesses. While you are at it, you might want to take a shot at explaining why AMD coincidentally slashed their CPU prices today - since engineering doesn't matter, they shouldn't need to cut selling prices if they no longer have the fastest desktop CPUs on the market, right?

I bought INTC 20 calls on 8/3 when INTC was $17.41. Options r doubled yesterday. Looking to take profit sometimes next week.
lookin' at the chart it seems it is quite likely intc will reach 19.25+...in the next couple of weeks, maybe earlier and with enough of a stretch even 20.
