To The Moon

$Intel(INTC)$   Sold some options to balance my portfolio. Held them thru thick and thin recently when it drops during the Iran war. This temp ceasefire maybe a good time to take some profit. Trimmed some — keep risk tight. Holding a core — thesis still intact. Hard to ignore what’s happening under the hood: • Google AI partnership • Terafab with Musk (Tesla / SpaceX) • +40% move recently → sentiment can flip fast Near term = weak tape. Long term = AI + foundry re-rating still in play. I’ll sell into strength if it comes. Still have some options left. Will wait and see.. Since market thinks it will flirt with $70 PS: do your own research and not financial advice

The move is largely sentiment-led with a developing fundamental narrative, not the other way round. --- What is fundamentals (≈30–40%) Terafab AI compute: credible long-term optionality, but no near-term revenue visibility Domestic manufacturing tailwind: geopolitical shift favours onshoring Some operational stabilisation vs prior lows 👉 These justify a re-rating from distressed levels, not a sharp breakout --- What is sentiment (≈60–70%) AI halo effect: market extrapolating “next Nvidia-like upside” Ceasefire rotation: flows into domestic / laggard tech Short covering + momentum chasing after multi-day run 👉 Price is moving ahead of earnings reality --- Key issue The market is pricing: future success of Terafab before proof of execution or revenue That gap = valuation risk --- Technical v

Intel Revisited Did you notice that there has been quite a fair bit of news on $Intel(INTC)$ recently? Indeed, INTC has demonstrated a notable decoupling from broader market volatility. (see below) Despite prevailing uncertainty in the US market driven by the US-Iran conflict and fluctuating oil prices, INTC has emerged as a resilient outlier, signaling a potential permanent return to the semiconductor forefront after years in the "wilderness." Personally, I think its likened to be an opening act of a turnaround, rather than proof of a permanent reclaiming of the semiconductor throne. The strongest case is INTC is winning visible external foundry and packaging demand, yet the more cautious reading is that execution, ramp timing, and customer con

The market is transitioning from a macro-driven regime (war risk, oil shock) to a micro-driven regime (earnings, guidance, positioning). That shift matters more than the flat close. --- 1) What just changed The removal of Iran tail risk does not create upside by itself. It simply: Compresses risk premium Lowers volatility (VIX fades) Forces capital back into fundamentals So the question is no longer “what if war escalates?” It is now “are earnings strong enough to justify current valuations?” --- 2) Can earnings drive the next leg? Yes, but selectively. Not broad index melt-up. Why: S&P already near highs → multiple expansion is limited Upside now depends on: Forward guidance AI capex continuity Margin resilience (labour + input costs) Base case: Beat + raise → strong moves (5–10%) Bea

$Intel(INTC)$ The sour grapes are now saying the Intel/Tesla deal isn't a huge deal.

$Intel(INTC)$ Intel plus Elon Musk's new chips equals success. Today just got a little better. Thank you, Elon Musk.
