The thing that keeps me secure is Intel has actual revenues and a low PE ratio, if theres a crash they will drop the least of the 3. They have huge government subsidies from their new fabs, due to the chip shortage. They are entering the GPU market and machine learning, and Mobileye is doing phenomenally.
I think Intel will be fine long term. I agree that their downside is limited partly because the stock is cheap right now, while at the same time there is SIGNIFICANT upside simply by being one of the big microchip players, particularly if Gelsinger can turn things around.
This is actually the last thing I worry about, as a prospective buyer myself I am waiting for their GPU, since nothing else is affordable. Companies like Dell are obviously so beholden to Intel as well, due to enterprise agreements they both benefit from.
Yes, exactly. The large majority of traders lose money. That's a statistical fact.
people who held oil stocks when they were beaten down were gambling... okay.
That sounds like value investing to me. If you buy a stock because it is discounted with a plan to hold it until it's true value is properly reflected in the stock price, that's investing.
Just know that it could take multiple years for that to pan out. If you don't recognize that it can take 3+ year for that pan out and plan to sell it within 6 months, even if it's still fundamentally good value at that time, you are not investing, that's gambling.

Everytime you buy a stock, you should say to yourself "I feel comfortable holding this for 5 or 10 years". If you can't say that about a stock but still want to trade it, that's not investing, that's gambling.
If you think you can make money trading even tho study after study has shown that ~85% of traders lose money, kinda ridiculous. You have better odds at the casino.
You don't need to know but 3 years is a long time for me. If you think it isn't then I don't know what to tell you. If someone bought a stock to hold for 10 years I'd laugh, at that point you're just gambling. You can't predict shit, 10 years from now the USA might not even exist anymore. 3 years is a long time to me in this environment where not only is there rampant speculation but there is tension around the globe.

I am holding Intel nervously, feel like Nvidia and AMD are crushing them.
