Intel Corporation (INTC), what have you done for me lately?

September 13, 2012 / Emilu Bailes

There is no doubt that Intel has contributed to a significant change in our lives over the past forty years!  When we take a stroll down memory lane and consider the creative genius that envisioned how we might bring the world closer to us, this company must be recognized.  As a serious investor, however, I must suspend my emotions and take a look at the facts before I place my money at risk on Wall Street.  Should I invest in Intel now?

Evidence is strong that humans have incorporated computer technology into their lives, regardless of their personal income status.  Even folks near poverty find some way to acquire a technical device that connects them to the world most of the time.  So, why has the share price of INTC dropped more than 20% over the past four months?

Humans have advanced to hand-held devices that bring the world to us on command, yet can be slipped into our pockets at any time we give our attention to our immediate surroundings.  This giant chip maker is heavily focused on larger devices which use their processors and chips, desktops and notebooks.  Unfortunately for Intel, the PC market is on a steady decline.  Yes, our economic environment is challenging, and there is ‘slowing emerging market demand,’ but the bottom line is that the convenience of the devices that can be slipped into our pockets and yet give us fast internet access is the latest-and-greatest technology available.  When people are faced with choosing a device that connects them with the world, the convenience and transport-ability are dominant factors, especially when the cost is not a large difference.  Our world will always be affected by the visions of creative genius.

I will always hold warm memories of this giant company.  But, my search for investments at this point is focused on those companies who are developing newer, brighter, products that will enhance our lives in the future.

Options Animal is the best! Because of the training and coaching 2025 was my best year ever! On my way to early retirement! The coaches are understanding and easy to talk too. I would refer my friends to the Options Animal Family

10/12/24: Update to my review from 2018 (my first year as an Options Animal member).

First, I have found this organization to be ethically amazing. (The salesperson might twist your arm slightly, but I guess that is what they do.) I have been to several of their registration-free Summits and Marketing seminars (that usually include a nice breakfast). Never once did they put any pressure on me to buy a membership. You actually can get something for nothing, and the CEO, Greg Jennings, gives us this gift.

Speaking of membership, like so many of the members and instructors, we wish we had found Options Animal earlier in life. The education that includes a scaffolded curriculum and instructor-led open forums is the Holy Grail of spread-trading.

The instructors are the most warm and empathic people you would ever want to meet. They are some of the best spread-traders in the world, but they are instructing us because they were once us. I heard two of the instructors specifically say that their role as instructors was a vocational calling.

The other members are amazing. The education is for beginners before moving into the advanced portion of the curriculum. I have never heard another member giving another member a hard time asking a basic question. We were all there once, and, frankly, the beginners' questions are helpful to the more advanced folk, too. The first 30 minutes of the weekly forums (usually >4/week) are dedicated solely to beginners.

Time? You should put at least 1 hour per day into it. Paper trade (fake money) instead of real money. If you want to make a quick buck, Options Animal may not be for you. With Options Animal methods, we learn how to make money while we sleep and how to make 10% on a stock if the stock goes down 5% while still maintaining a bullish view.

Options Animal Education was definitely some of the best money I ever spent. I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thank you OA!

2018: I've read books on options for over 20 years but really never felt like I had a specific strategy to hedge my stocks because there are so many from which to chose. OptionsAnimal has an excellent strategy/approach that allows me to hedge my stocks based on my personality style within the OA system. The instructors are brilliant and passionate about what they do and want nothing more than to help their students of all skill levels. Thank you OA!
