Why the need for a spending freeze ? It's not like we're 210 trillion in debt. https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEZA0KW

For the times they are a-changin'

Very happy with that. Let's hope it continues when they release earnings day after tomorrow.

Their problems started when the movement away from desktop computers, & towards smart phones began. They fell behind, and haven't been able to catch up. They also tried to go up against Nvidia in the gaming market and failed. It was easy for them to be dominant in the 90s as the average desktop PC cost around 2K & 25% of that was for the processor alone. At one point in the 2000's, they supplied Apple desktop chips. They lost that some years ago. That doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't turn the business around, but a 20 year return of 45.79% or 1.90% annualized, says they've been floundering for a long time. Good luck

Not defending the **inks, but we do the same thing. We (taxpayers) made a huge investment in Intel to build large fabs. https://www.google.com/search?q=Did+the+US+government+make+a+investment+in+Intel&client=safari&sca_esv=556e0fb3fe8dd81f&sxsrf=AHTn8zp-Ob4ewSJbBX7foAe0QEbz-J4ClA%3A1738094672421&source=hp&ei=UDiZZ5WnF-fK0PEPl56E0AU&iflsig=ACkRmUkAAAAAZ5lGYFxZf-ytEJED55pXedQ6Wsm4feiQ&ved=0ahUKEwiVj6Kcm5mLAxVnJTQIHRcPAVoQ4dUDCBk&uact=5&oq=Did+the+US+government+make+a+investment+in+Intel&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IjBEaWQgdGhlIFVTIGdvdmVybm1lbnQgbWFrZSBhIGludmVzdG1lbnQgaW4gSW50ZWwyBxAhGKABGAoyBxAhGKABGAoyBxAhGKABGAoyBxAhGKABGApIl2dQhi9YuGZwA3gAkAEFmAH6AaABvRqqAQYzLjIxLjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhGgApYOqAIKwgIHECMYJxjqAsICBxAuGCcY6gLCAgQQIxgnwgIOEC4YgAQYxwEYjgUYrwHCAgsQLhiABBixAxiDAcICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAgUQABiABMICERAuGIAEGLEDGNEDGIMBGMcBwgILEC4YgAQY0QMYxwHCAgYQABgWGB7CAgsQABiABBiGAxiKBcICCBAAGIAEGKIEwgIFEAAY7wXCAgUQIRirApgDCvEFncDv91nECuuSBwU2LjkuMqAHvbgB&sclient=gws-wiz Shortly after, Intel eliminated their dividend and announced they were laying off 15% of their employees. What a way to say......... thanks! So yeah, I take anything I hear/read with a large grain of salt, & that includes my own government. Do you know there's people out there who believe the Social Security trust fund contains real assets ? https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEZ9Z1I

Her parents (OK, her grandmother) must be extremely proud.

It's definitely something investors have to consider. I just read an article that makes you wonder about the valuation. Nvidia's decline shaved $589 billion off the AI chipmaker's market cap, the largest single-day loss in stock market history. If you break that down, it means they lost the equivalent of 5.22 years of revenues in a single day, & it's 'still' selling at 31x sales. The article also touched on your concern.................... DeepSeek said one of its latest AI models cost just $5.6 million to train, OpenAI’s GPT-4 model costs more than $100 million. Maybe the market wasn't overreacting when it sold off shares to the tune of 24% today ? I'm not trying to influence anyone here, but things can change. Intel was the first stock I ever bought back in 1993 when I opened up a brokerage account at a local bank. 7 years later, they were the king of the world. Set to dominate the microprocessor industry forever. 25 years later, they're struggling to survive. Nothing more than food for thought from someone who loves talking stocks/markets.

Thank you President Trump!

I bet all 98 of her viewers believe it too.

Nuff said.

WARNING: NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH https://www.gorecenter.com/onlyfans-model-fell-from-balcony-during-group-sex-filming/

You nailed it. This was especially true in the chip/semiconductor industry. Investors thought every chip stock would go ballistic. They did, for awhile.

From everything I've seen at this forum, they already have!

Nice!

How the !@#$ did we let this country get to the point where we not only have Venezuelan gangs in Colorado (Tren de Aragua (TdA) the majority of them are illegal aliens as well ? About time someone takes this !@#$ seriously!

He either has huge cabinets, or he's into gay midgets. Sorry, I couldn't pass it up.

Sounds good to me. I added small amounts of FSLR-SOXL-NVDA & POWL during the day.

Agreed. Oddly enough, Apple is up a little over $7 right now. Figure it's an upgrade by some analyst, because I don't see any other news that would make it positive on a day like today.

I hear ya........ Those 2 stocks & the ETF I mentioned are down 16% 17% & 25%

Brutal day for anything tech/AI related. My big losers are Powell industries, Nvidia, & Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (SOXL) Not sure if it's just a one day thing, but sector rotation is helping other stocks I own in out of favor sectors. Thanks to that, my total portfolio is actually up 0.31% as a type.

Buffalo is one of the 3 cities in the United States that has a radial street pattern ?

When I see her handcuffed and taken to some type of internment camp, I'll believe it to be legitimate.

The MSNBC primetime host told CNN on Monday that she was “worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to ‘root out’ what he’s described in subhuman terms as his ‘enemy from within.'” Maddow added: “For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants? So, yes, I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us.” Nothing more than a manly looking drama queen.
