Intel (INTC)

At this point, hang on. Management turnover, concerns they're lagging in technology, not positioned to benefit from huge growth in AI. Earnings expected to grow nicely over the next few years. Valuation not demanding at 10x EBITDA for 2025.

Revolving door of CEOs -- hard to find someone with both business and engineering skills. If you ever see it up around $25, take a bit of profit. Or write some calls against it as it gets close if you don't want to get taken out. It will have its day, but it reminds him of IBM. Believes that with Mr. Trump on the throne, he'll protect this company pretty carefully.

Avoid. Firmly in the land of long-term turnaround, which is risky. Sold assets. Foundry business relies on government support. Design business doesn't quite fit future directions of data centres and personal computing. Look at TSM.

With so much other opportunity and greater certainty in the tech space, this name requires you to take a big leap. Just hasn't executed on delivery or timing. Technology being bought up piecemeal. C-suite revolving door.

Stock's gone nowhere for over a decade -- lost leadership on manufacturing and on design. US administrations have been pushing manufacturing back to the US, which makes INTC interesting. New, very technically capable, CEO; this is encouraging, though nothing will happen immediately.

Has made no money for investors for 30 years, unless you were a trader. Loved it below $20. Trimming here ~$25. At $35, he'll trim again. If it gets above $40, he'll probably be out.

"A day late and a dollar short." Missed the boat, hard to catch up. Got into AI belatedly. Not much is happening. All the chip producers are coming down. Not even a trade anymore.

It might have been the biggest winner of the last president's chips act to stimulate U.S. semi manufacturing by getting part of a $7.86 billion grant. Will Intel get more money from Washington? Intel carries $46 billion in long-term loans, so Intel needs the money badly. It's shocking that Intel shares aren't even lower.

They missed the mobile ecosystem. ARM Holdings has killed them every since. Intel is in terminal decline, no growth and will be taken out by somebody. Maybe take your losses.

Terrible result. One out of every 20 stocks is going to hit you in the head. You want a stock like this in a non-registered account, so you can sell it for the capital loss. Market still believes in 78% EPS growth from here. He's holding.

Might be carved up, looking for new CEO. 12-month price target of $27.50. On the foundry side, competing with TSM which has very deep pockets and a 55% market share. It's still in play, so he still owns it.

Controversial name. Rallied recently, takeover and breakup speculation. If you still own it, worth hanging on to for a potential event leading to more upside. 

Don't ever be anchored to what you paid for a stock; otherwise, it makes you behave badly. 

Dislikes it because they didn't fix their manufacturing, or outsource it, and now they're a couple of generations behind the likes of TSM. Until they change strategy they'll just keep pouring capex into manufacturing, and returns won't be good. 

He doesn't like its long-term downtrend. At these levels, issue is with the broader semiconductor space. We're late in the cycle, so semis are at risk.

It reports Friday. Let's hope they say how they can raise cash, because their balance sheet is heinous.
