$Intel(INTC)$ The chart keeps pointing to the same thing: chip production on American soil is both possible and likely going to happen. By the end of 2027, 50% of TSMC business will be done at Intel Foundry.
$Intel(INTC)$ Google are going to keep cranking out those TPU chips, so still bullish for Intel. GOOGLE: - NO CHANGE TO OUR 2026 CAPEX GUIDE OF $205B - WE EXPECT TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE CAPEX IN 2027
$Intel(INTC)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Microsoft reports after the close. For the AI side of things, I'm hoping they show solid progress and put out strong messaging around their AI investment plans.
$Intel(INTC)$ SKHY's killer earnings are pushing this higher. Intel really needs to knock it out of the park though. Market makers aren't letting stocks run on just an earnings beat anymore, they want a full-on smash, especially with so many of these names trading at stretched valuations.
$Intel(INTC)$ There has been a lot of bullish information coming out for AI and INTC this week. It is interesting considering how much bearish commentary was circulating last week.
$Intel(INTC)$ Intel and Oracle have announced a multiyear collaboration aimed at expanding Intel Xeon-based computing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. That's good news.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ Popping off today, up about 4.9% on AI-chip supply news and Investor Day buzz. Solid momentum here, up 4.6% over the last 5 days. With this kind of action, defined-risk plays like spreads or waiting for pullbacks feels more sensible than chasing. Options flow looks wild, big December 2026 deep ITM put blocks and $10M+ 2027 call sweeps showing up on InsiderFinance. The 63% put-flow skew isn't worth overthinking, it's just a few big moves on both sides. Today's flow is smaller, around $178K in call sweeps, mostly speculative lottos. I'd treat it as a secondary signal at best, not the main driver.
$Zapata Quantum Inc(ZPTA)$ Quite the announcement after hours. $Intel(INTC)$ is buying Classiq for 2.3b. Seems Classiq had a similar pitch as Zapata, hardware agnostic quantum software, and they don't have Peter Shor advising.
$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ TrendForce projected a while back that memory would rise about 8% combined in Q3 and Q4. It's already up 20.66% in just 94 days. I think their latest estimate was 14% for the 180-day window. Memory prices are not slowing.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Anthropic's S-1 just triggered a move across tech. QQQ is up 1.4% around midday, SPY is up 0.8%, and VIX is sliding. Surgery Partners is up 47% on a buyout, Tesla is up 6.6%, and FICO is down 16%. The question now is whether to chase it into the Fed on Wednesday or wait.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ If it's that DAQ setup, it doesn't crack, but for real now... that's probably not going anywhere fast to the upside, based on that positioning. The most long since we started the AI rally. There is a lot of opportunity on the long side, just not so sure you're going to like the things that I like. If you like getting chopped up, keep trying to buy the things you've been buying the past few years. Boring... that's pretty damn exciting to me, I'll tell you that much. There are Nasdaq stocks out there that look good, just not the ones you're probably watching and keep buying.
$Intel(INTC)$ Looking at $Qualcomm(QCOM)$ in June, the FTD chart. How do you sell 108 million shares short in a single day? That is worth almost $21 billion. Can someone explain this to me?
