"*the problem is it's become clear to me there is major market manipulation going on*" This statement alone says you have no idea what the market is or how it works. And therefore you should probably let an advisor manage your investments. There are literally millions of investors around the world trading billions of dollars of thousands of stocks everyday. There was no pre-market conference call today that we were all invited to (excluding you intentionally) where we discussed how we were all going to voluntarily sell at a loss just to make the price of the stock that we know you own go down. If there was then I guess I missed that email and the call this morning (but will make sure I'm on tomorrow's call). Stock prices can be chaotic over (usually shorter) time periods for very good and understandable reasons. "*when some of the major gurus were warning everyone huge crashes were on the horizon*" You can selectively get any advice you go looking for, including proof the world is flat. You seem intent on listening to a very selective group of people and taking it as gospel instead of collecting a lot of data points and being rational. Take a look at *The Sharpshooters Fallacy* \- that seems to be you. "*we were headed into a great depression*" Wow you really were selective! "*while i continue to personally witness the job market + AI bubble worsening*" If you look at the Federal jobs data it's consistent and the numbers are normal. Pro Tip: Never use yourself or your friends as your data points, it's unreliable. And if you think AI is a bubble then you are missing out on a once-in-a-decade opportunity in the stock market. You have stocks that have doubled in 2 months (e.g. Dell) or 6x in over a year (e.g. INTC) because of real demand for real products that are being shipped today. And most of this simply represents U.S. demand so far...the Rest Of World hasn't even really started yet due to product constraints. This is unbelievable oportunity...it takes years to double your money in an SP500 index, you could have done it in 2 months. I bought INTC long call options in March of 2025 for a few bucks when the stock was $18...and made 30+ years of 401k savings in 14 months. This time in the market is truly transformative. "...*keeps waiting for the stocks to drop to get his money back in but i'm wondering if i can afford this long term*" Drop to what? Their level a year ago? Sorry, that train has long left the station. And specifically for AI/tech (as "the market" as I mentioned before is many different businesses and industries) if you believe the executives delivering AI today (Su, Huang, Zuckerberg, etc. etc. etc.) there are *at least* a few more years of buildout if not many more. And if you know where to look there's many actual proof points supporting that, e.g. Micron's announcement of building a new memory factory, something memory manufacturers resist as much as possible because of the (poor scaling) economics of the DRAM business. "*if anyone has any pointers or advice*" Well - take any advice, even mine, with a grain of salt and draw your own conclusions, but with that said I would say: 1. You seem susceptible to emotionally following fringe news about the market rather than coldly evaluating business environments and following actual data. You may not have the business background to read economic indicators, 10Q reports, etc. You are probably better off having an advisor help you invest. 2. If you are intent on investing yourself, then that's a lengthy discussion about *YOUR* risk, reward, timeframes, and goals. You seem to have very specific concerns for those. People like to reduce the conversation to "what stock should I buy" without any regard to those factors and as such the outcomes may not match the expectations. 3. Regarding AI/tech specifically, all signs point to a) this is very real, b) it is not circular or a bubble, and c) it will continue for some time. There are stocks today that in 12 months will be 30%, 50%, 100% higher - I want to find those and own those today. Lastly, today (*6/23*) the NASDAQ, specifically the AI/tech is about to tank when the market opens. In the morning news today is *uncertainty if AI is real* and *overstretched valuations* and every other standard excuse that's been in the news for the last couple of years just regurgitated over and over. What you don't read is that this is just normal profit taking by investors - same thing that happens all the time in an accelerating market. If you're emotional you may view the market tanking this morning as proof of your viewpoint that the AI market crashing or a tech bubble or whatever. If you are emotionless and believe this market is real you'll use today as a starting point to get back in. Best of luck.

INTC went from curing cancer to getting cancer

"*Is it rumors of a miracle top secret chip or processor, is it mindless retail investor greed, is it Intel buying back its stock.*" Really if you're asking those questions you have a lot to learn about investing. Great companies can lose money - just look at Uber (who lost money for decades in the beginning), Boeing, etc. If you missed buying Intel at <$19 just over a year ago then you probably don't know the tech industry and/or you have no idea how to use your platform's scanner tool. You have a company that the world depends on to make server and client chips - a tens-of-billion dollar run-rate business. Whether Intel is profitable or not, this business is massive and constant like a treadmill. They have only one competitor in this business, and even so they have the majority of business. But that's not all. They are now a foundry. Not just any foundry, *but one of only three companies on this planet that make the most important product to mankind right now* \- advanced semiconductors. When you want to train AI, or make self-landing rockets, or cars that drive themselves, or forecast weather, or deliver a Google search or a Facebook photo recognition...the list goes on...you need leading-edge processors and all of them come *from only 3 companies on this planet*. Forget the Strait of Hormuz - if these three companies shut down then life as we know it on this planet would disappear overnight; you'd only be using only cash at the store and sticking an antenna on your roof for TV to get the weather. "*So what triggered this 250% increase in stock price.*" You're looking at it backwards - it wasn't an increase, it was simply a recovery...and then some. INTC was severely depressed from a loss in revenue and margins, the fascinating details of which I'll skip for brevity. Here's some things that were notable in the beginning of 2025 when the stock as $18, all of which made them a no-brainer for investing in: * Although Intel made the most advanced chips in the world, they only made them for themselves. Then they announced they were becoming a foundry for anyone. Any investor in tech should have sat up and taken notice at this major development - this is HUGE news. They were now going to be open for business to anyone. * The x86 market is *enormous* and *constant*. This traditional business keeps the money machine running while Intel starts it's new foundry business. * It's hard to overstate the importance of being one of three companies in the world making the most critical products on the planet. * At $18 INTC was trading at *book value*! What does that mean? It means that as an investor you simply cannot lose money in a F500 company that has a run-rate business for one simple reason - the stock simply cannot go lower. It was trading at the value of all it's fabs, building, equipment, etc. and could have been bought and parted out on eBay for more than the stock price. This literally was a stock that was bottomed out making it the safest bet in the world. (*If you're not using your scanner for large successful companies trading at book then you're not doing your investment homework*). Yes Intel has had several years of losses, but that statement alone is pretty shortsighted. Intel has spent decades - *probably longer than the OP has been alive* \- being one of the most profitable companies in the world, and that was without being a foundry (for external revenue). This is temporary blip in which the x86 business will be fixed and rightsized. However the new foundry business brings unprecedented new revenue opportunities in a market that is - to use Jensen Huang's words - *is insatiable*. Unlike AMD, who is reliant on someone else (TSMC at the moment) to make their chips, Intel controls their own silicon for their x86 business and will open the doors for others (Apple being the latest rumor). All that above is why I put my money where my mouth is well over a year ago and waited patiently...

taffy_laffy

you see the quantum news and you want to go for the small players, instead of the giant IBM? the one most likely to see an INTC-like deal by the gov? absolutely crazy.

IBM to follow INTC, 1200 EoY

Enygma_tik

So no NVDIA or INTC??

steem99

Since we're already at -8% MU, INTC, NBIS, I find it unlikely that we'll see a bigger drop at open. The movement has already happened (I'm coping)

steem99

INTC is so funny sometimes. Humorous lil' guy.

Almost bought puts on INTC but it’s so difficult when the new CEO could tweet at 4 am and pump it 20%.

Good news: 100k in SOXS Bad news: 250k in INTC It'll kinda cancel out.

What year are we in that IBM, INTC, and CSCO are up

TheInkDon1

Great question, and I think one we've all asked ourselves. *Because it's "the Tasty Trade way" is why.* That (and they) seem to have fallen out of favor, but a few years ago it was all anyone here or at r/ThetaGang preached, and you were a heretic if you did anything different than "30-45DTE, 30-delta, close at half-profit or 21 days." Search the forums and you'll see. But it works, there's no arguing that, so it's a great place for beginners to start. Now, like you, I thought Weeklies were the jam. But I soon found out, for "reasons," that they're not. But I'll leave that for you to discover, because I can't really explain it quantitatively. I just know they were harder, so I stopped. Then for a long while I went to 30DTE/4weeks. But lately, on *some* things, I go 2 weeks. But never less; that's become a hard and fast rule for me. But try it for yourself, 1 week. Then maybe try 2, and then maybe 4. But I'm surprised you didn't hit on the REAL reason for anyone wanting to do Weeklies. You discussed it, but didn't reach a solid conclusion. In fact, it seems like you've maybe found that 4 Weeklies is a bit less than a month. It's not; it's MORE. *Significantly* more. I wish it was the weekend so I had clean Weekly option prices to work with, but I'll extrapolate. **There's more theta-per-day in a Weekly option than a Monthly.** (So when you multiply by 4 {or 4.345 weeks in an average month}, you get a way bigger number.) That's a fact for any ticker, any time, and I want you to prove it yourself this weekend when you can compare 5 full days of premium to 25 (4 weeks). But in the meantime, for **SOXX**: The **655P** is right on the money with the close at 655.01. Perfect. The 4DTE is trading at 18.20 Mid. Divide: $18.20 over 4 days is **$4.55 per day.** That's how much money, *per day*, you stand to make if SOXX ends the week above 655. Now take the 17Jul655P (25DTE/almost 4 weeks) trading for 41.05 Mid. Let me use 24DTE from the open tomorrow, that helps give it a higher number: $41.05 / 24 days = **$1.71 per day** Wow! You can see that the Weekly pays over *twice* as much. In fact, it's: 4.55 / 1.71 = *2.66 times as much.* And THAT'S why people think Weeklies are the jam. But there are drawbacks, which really come down to a longer expiration giving you "more time to be right." But try it for yourself, you won't get into much trouble, it'll just be a lot of work and angst as the price wiggles. **Bonus Section** I didn't think the difference was going to come out that high (I'm remembering about 1.5x from when I ran these calcs before), so I want to check a few other tickers I trade that have Weeklies. **INTC** 2.7x **XLK** 2.4x **NCLH** 3.1x So the **SOXX** number of 2.6x is right in the ballpark. But I think that me using 4 days as a stand-in for 5 days is skewing the numbers. Add that 5th day and the theta-per-day will come down a good bit. Which invites an intriguing experiment: What's the theta-per-day at 3 days? 2 days? 1 day? I'll leave that for the reader to pursue. Be good.

You know this is a manufactured dump. 🥭 fav tickers INTC and Tesla are holding while everything else falls.

Sold some INTC shares, also wrote some puts so I can buy them back cheaper, probably. I make money moves.

WendyDumpsterFire

I love how SPCX bubble pop but not INTC, or DELL

FuckingJPMAlgos

Buying puts on INTC Sept expiry. Shits topped.

Enygma_tik

INTC gonna keep going up!??

VoidMageZero

Asset light is the old model imo, these companies are doing massive capex spending to grow their physical supply chains because of Covid, Suez, Hormuz, tariffs, etc. MU, INTC, Samsung, Hynix, TSM, ASML, etc. are manufacturers, it's the opposite of asset light.

Imagine not buying government backed INTC It’s like buying treasuries with a chance to double lmao

CapEx buyers like MSFT and META are getting sold off like crazy, while the CapEx sellers like MU and INTC are getting bought up euphorically, despite the CapEx sellers’ current valuation being entirely dependent on the CapEx buyers success… There’s a real disconnect from reality in this market

No-Put2311

Didn’t realize the market was bleeding out cause I only hold INTC and SNDK

Helpful-Weekend-2224

8 months ago INTC was a break-up or bust, now it's up 500%. I'm calling bullshit

HeyYoChill

MSFT had a 56% EBITDA margin in 2000, and still got hit for >50% in the drawdown. And didn't make a new high for like 12? years. CSCO 32% EBITDA margin, -80% drawdown. Didn't make a new high for 20 years. INTC 48% EBITDA margin, -75% drawdown. New high >20 years. List goes on. Pick your tech company that was great at the time. Profitability doesn't save you.

I'm getting more $INTC with my spare cash even though it is at an ATH. Reading signals from Trump that he's essentially given the green light to China to go get Taiwan without any American opposition.

so after trump confirmed INTC working with AAPL we go even further to the moon or already priced in?

That's true, but then again the market that supposedly cares about P/E ratios also has AMD at like 170, INTC at 120, MRLV at 100, etc. Momentum is with semiconductors and when that meme ride is done it will move to something else. Maybe software, maybe garbage trucks.

Probably going to be calls, ideas: AMZN, NVDA, TSLA, INTC, ASTS, SPY / QQQ, PLTR

INTC!!!!!

Negative_Song_6362

This actually makes sense. Chip designers could get disintermediated just like software. Companies that own foundries like INTC and MU might make more sense (don't own either).

sdw89

Depends on if their foundry really takes off or not. Market is forward thinking, so a good part of the price hike isn't based on current earnings, but anticipation for future earnings when they're a true competitor to TSMC. If that happens, expect INTC to start skyrocketing.

Helpful-Weekend-2224

INTC is WAY overpriced

DubiousJoedotcom

Up 268% on INTC and 256% on DFTX… hold or sell?

The_Albertino

I was just checking out the INTC chart, so strong tbh

option-trader

Nothing related to AI in there. MSFT is on the wrong side of the AI trade. All you had to do was buy anything AI related from CAT, VRT, FIX, to chips and memory like INTC, AMD, ARM, MRVL, MU, SNDK, and even WDC.

Outside_Ad4446

ASTS and INTC pumping better than SPCX...🤣 You have to be a full regard to be buying that 💩...
