COMMENT
They report Wednesday. The CEO is thinking of building a new Silicon Valley in Ohio, costing $20 billion over several years. He hopes the CEO explains how it'll be funded and Ohio's government helps out.
TOP PICK
Most unloved semiconductor out there. Model price of $72, 36% upside. Missed 1-2 cycles of production, CEO turnovers. Paid to wait. Yield is 2.54%. (Analysts’ price target is $57.17)
WATCH
The dinosaur tech names have better PEs, better than the high-flyers in tech, and pay decent dividends well over the 10-year yield. Cisco has broken out, Intel looks interesting, and IBM has had a good run, but maybe wait on this. They're all a decent place to hide and you get paid as the market digests volatile news.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 22/20, Up 12%) He sold it when they decided to get in more manufacturing. He would look at it at lower values.
DON'T BUY
Failing for quite a while to stay competitive. Whipped by TSMC. Chip business is very capital intensive. See his Top Picks.
WEAK BUY
They failed to control the mobile phone market as they once did in desktops, so this became dead money for a long while. It's trying to rebound by getting into the auto business. If so, shares will pop. A great company, INTC pays a good, safe dividend, and won't tumble as much in a tech sell-off. But they're not positioned in the right market now. It wouldn't hurt to own this, but it's not his first choice.
PARTIAL BUY
Has a position based on valuation and yield. 2.8% yield that is safe. Lots of room to increase that. Balance sheet is okay, good return on equity. Has been in a downtrend with weaker price momentum. Has been volatile lately and lost its leader status. Valuation is compelling.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 22/20, Up 13%) Sold because of INTC's change in strategy to be a manufacturer, a much tougher business. He prefers TSM.
DON'T BUY

They were the leader in chips, but have fallen behind. Taiwan Semis have made big inroads, instead. The chip business is highly politically sensitive, which helps Intel which is setting up a big chip foundry in the U.S. However, they've missed the boat in many end markets. Maybe the CEO will turn things around.

BUY
Tech Stock recommendation. He likes INTC-Q because it is trading at much less multiples than in the past. It has good long term performance potential. It came off the last few weeks.
DON'T BUY
A new CEO is rebuilding it. They will not make the playoffs this or next year. Instead, pick Nvidia or AMD.
DON'T BUY
It's down 11% today. They just reported--they're overspending and killing their margins that'll hurt them into next year. He needs to reconsider Intel. Their earnings and outlook are disappointing.
COMMENT
They report Thursday. Not sure if they can deliver a lift in shares. Instead, stay long in AMD and Nvidia.
DON'T BUY
Years ago, it was the darling of the chip space. They have fallen on hard times. They still do $75B in business but they cannot get traction from a growth standpoint. Greatest attribute is the cheap valuation around 12x earnings. More a value trap. It could turn itself around. There are other better opportunities.
BUY
It's done reasonable well. Similar sentiment with AMD. Semis will do well, but will face stiff competition from Taiwan Semiconductor. Growth lies ahead under a new CEO.
