$Intel(INTC)$ I keep wondering how long US companies will put adversary nations' interests ahead of US national interest and help them bash INTC using US-based propaganda press and US-based fabless chipmakers. Even when the press recognizes that distributed AI demand puts CPU demand ahead of GPU, they first assign the benefit to AMD, then mention ARM, and only at the far end hint that INTC may also get some benefit. But right after that, they bring up the foundry making huge losses. Meanwhile, INTC leadership is making solid progress on both the design and fab side, and doesn't bother chasing false press or making negative comments about adversaries. That makes INTC look very different from companies that shower the US government with present
$Intel(INTC)$ It appears the company is having a hard time keeping up with server CPU demand. Tan noted at a conference that they can only meet 50% of customer demand for CPUs. That works in favor of Intel and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ , since both are dominant in the x86 server CPU space. A CPU shortage should lead to higher prices, which would support margins and earnings for Intel and AMD.
$Intel(INTC)$ I'm watching $170 as the next major upside target on the next run. If we get another dip, $115 is the area I'd be watching for a potential entry. $129 is the key breakout level. A clean move above it could open the door for further upside. Above $140, the focus shifts toward $170. Let price confirm each level along the way.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ There is a lot of noise on X about Oracle being the next bubble, and shorts are pushing the fear narrative hard. ORCL debt yields have obviously risen, which gives them some ammunition to potentially trigger a panic. Having seen this kind of setup for 20+ years, I could see a capitulation where retail throws in the towel and we test the lows again before a new catalyst brings it back up. Short term, you know what you signed up for, but longer term I see this company as a 2-3T market cap.
$Oracle(ORCL)$ The daily charts don't faze me. I've been buying consistently in the $130-$150 range. I know where this is heading over the long term, I know what the future is going to look like. My eyes are on the horizon.
My take on why the market is down. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Treasury yields pushed higher, with the 10-year moving above 5%, putting pressure on growth and tech stocks. Oil prices are climbing again, raising concerns about inflation and the impact of the Iran situation. $BREAKWAVE TANKER SHIPPING ETF(BWET)$ $Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF(BDRY)$ Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected economic data is creating another problem: investors are questioning whether the Fed can ease rates as quickly. Stocks recently pushed toward record highs, so investors are taking some profits. T
