INTC, a strong buy

Technicals before the January 17th 4th quarter earning release are strong. The retraction from the 2 month high of 22.00 shows a huge support and a current level which has yet to factor the compnay’s latest products and development. Bear in mind, the market is a “discounting mechanism.” That said, INTC will rally strong to 25 and excel to 33 by mid 2007.

that's quite a move Jack. I see some possibility of a bullish move, but not sure I see over 50% in 6 months, esp. given that we're at ridiculously high levels of bullishness in the markets now.

Jack,
Don't you ever lose?

I believe he told us what his returns were a while back...if I recall for the year they're in the neighborhood of 30%, pretty decent. He also doesn't need to set stops because he's hedged most of the time with in the money options. And also keep in mind that his methodology is to lose on the options, not win. So yes he does lose technically but by doing so he's winning. I have to hand it to him, he's got a simple but ingenious, profitable trading system. Which reminds me...I've gotta check in on LEH to see how that chart looks.

if LEH closes above 77.6, its a moon shot in my estimation.
