Breaking out...has begun its run back to $30

I've been holding some that I bought at 20.50 for a long time. I was wondering if it would ever come back. I hope you're right :).

Any more thoughts on Intel? I picked up some more at 17.50 to average things out. It's up above 19 today, but I'm not sure what to do. I've been holding this one forever, and it hasn't done much of anything.

Lots of good news here, but I'm still not sure what to do at this point. Anyone else own INTC?

I'm getting interested in Intel. They still have lots of inventory to get rid of though. Maybe that's already factored into the price and it's seen the bottom. I might wait another QTR to see how they are doing. If Vista comes out on time, INTC should do really well in 2007. They say you have to have a very fast PC to enjoy using VISTA, so millions will probably buy new PCs or at least upgrade their processor. That could be good for lots of companies.... AMD, NVDA, INTC, DELL, LOGI, ....etc.

Worldwide demand for semiconductors, driven by broadband Internet use and increased productivity, spells a chip up-cycle, according to Caris & Company analyst Rick Whittington.

The analyst's favorite names in the chip sector remain Micron (nyse: MU - news - people ), Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ), Broadcom (nasdaq: BRCM - news - people ), Altera (nasdaq: ALTR - news - people ), Xilinx (nasdaq: XLNX - news - people ), SanDisk (nasdaq: SNDK - news - people ), Applied Materials (nasdaq: AMAT - news - people ), Novellus and KLA-Tencor (nasdaq: KLAC - news - people ).

In the past, semiconductors have ridden a boom-or-bust cycle dependent on new product cycles and general economic conditions, said the analyst..

Low inflation and continued global expansion are likely to boost revenues, capacity utilization, pricing and improve margins.

For the first time since 1995, shortages could begin to appear next year if strong computer hardware sales continue.

Whittington said short-term strategies served investors well in 2001 and 2002, but have "seriously constrained" returns since the market bottomed out in October 2002.
