Blaine, frankly, your condescension is getting a bit worn and tired out. Maybe find a strategy for disagreeing with my opinion that doesn't involve trying to convince yourself that your intelligence is superior to mine. I know what pump and dump schemes are. I just feel this is more of a case of buying the rumor. The market is incredibly reactive to every news blurb that comes out these days, well, at least those that show any sign of positivity... and if you followed the market every day as I do, you would know that. Rumor comes out that a struggling tech company is gonna get a big old boost of government cheese, and the market reacts. But, the company has no real and clear prospects, so even with an influx of government cash, and SoftBank's stake.. I don't see INTC soaring to new heights.

And as I said last night, I figured the rally would be short-lived and it was, INTC has given up most of its gains from yesterday today. Which will undoubtedly convince you that you were right and that the rally was congressmen lining their pockets before selling off today and not just a market reaction to a news article. In a few weeks, Chancey will be back, maybe you and he can compare notes on how the Jews in congress are fleecing the public via insider trading and pump and dump schemes, LOL.

MEOW. Lose the inferiority complex. It's unbecoming.

Tell me how you did not just describe something akin to a pump and dump scheme--assuming Trump and his cronies bought the stock low, released the story and then sold the stock higher?

Inferiority complex, LOL. Pot meet kettle.

Because I do not assume that "Trump and his cronies bought the stock low, released the story and then sold the stock higher". That's a tinfoil-hat-level conspiracy theory there. But, as I said in my previous reply, as soon as I saw that INTC had given up its gains from yesterday today, I knew you would be convinced that that is what it was. There really is no way to counter ignorance like that, especially in college-educated people like yourself. You're convinced, because of your dislike of Trump, that you are correct and nothing is going to change your mind.

For the past two years, as I've worked to obtain my degree at the college you never miss an opportunity to discredit, I have followed the market every day. I have also been blessed to have a wonderful mentor that has honestly taught me much more about the inner workings of the market than I would have ever learned at my "low-rent" college. And in following the market, you see movements like the one INTC has had over the past 48 hours nearly every day. They're not uncommon. They're not conspiracies. It is simply Mr. Market reacting to the news cycles. For whatever reason, the market has been unusually euphoric. It has been shrugging off bad economic news as though it didn't exist, and rallying at the drop of a hat. That's all the rally of INTC yesterday was. No conspiracy, no plot to get rich off the backs of the working men.

As a side note, I am also not happy with Trump's handling of the economy, and I am certainly not happy with the government investing in private enterprise. It was I who made the initial post afterall. However, my dislike of policies enacted by a president is not enough to make me jump at every shadow. That's just silly.

LOL. I didn't even bring up internet college. You did. Hence, your inferiority complex.

Congrats if you got the degree!

P.S. No tinfoil hat conspiracies here. It is obvious to anyone who "follows the market everyday" that Trump and his people are manipulating the markets for gain.

This is the nail in the coffin for me:

The whole thing is absolutely indefensible IMO.

I would love to see Congress step up and slap him down.
Intel needs to be left alone to collapse so that resources now being wasted can be allocated to more viable projects............and not government owned projects !

INTC has tried to coast for years on their outdated products from the dot com era.
Heck they can't even complete a building project in Ohio let alone design and fabricate cutting edge chips.

They are the Kodak and Xerox of the 21st century. Intel buggy whips is what they are today
