$INTC moves to my #
1# portfolio position.
If you think I understand Intel better than the average person who follows the stock, you’re wrong. But I do think I understand the setup.
There is an interesting psychological situation around $95. The recent offering was heavily oversubscribed at that level, which makes me think there should be serious demand if the stock gets back there. It doesn’t mean $95 can’t break, but I think it should provide some kind of floor.
I also understand the near-term catalysts, so I built a strategy around the entire situation using stock and options.
$INTC is now my largest position, via stock and mainly through options with various expiration dates and strikes to mitigate risk. I can make money if the stock stays around here, falls somewhat, or moves higher, as long as it doesn’t crash or spike 15% in one day.
We’ve seen this many times with assets that go through a period of mania (silver, gold, memory stocks). They spike, cool down, and then slowly start climbing again. I believe $INTC could follow a similar path.
I might be wrong, but that’s the setup I’m betting on.
I might publish my full $INTC position later today or next week and explain every part of it and why I structured it this way.
