If it wasn't for him I would've never had Intel on my radar. When I read the post I thought a lot of his points were valid about how important Intel was for national security but at $30 I thought it was a bit early with all the negative press they received from the burning CPUs.
At $20 it was impossible to ignore. I spent the next couple of months buying around $20 and managed to time the bottom.
I held until $40 and sold half of it to get back my initial investment, I'm letting the rest of it ride. I honestly believe it has potential to grow more which is why I haven't sold any since.
Anyways, I've been thinking about making this post for a while as I saw how much he was bullied. I'm sure there are others out there like me that doubled their money because of him.
I do hope he held until now, would love to have an update from him.
Intel was cited as critical for national security, and the stock price bottomed around $20. Price recovery to $40 suggests renewed interest, but author believes further upside remains. Long INTC based on continued growth potential and strategic importance. Negative press (e.g., product defects like "burning CPUs"), competition, execution missteps.
