Man, I was this close to shorting Dell yesterday. That would've just made my year, with Intel's news last night. My portfolio sealpoint.com has had a solid year, and a short yesterday may have cemented it. As it is, I'll see how my "value" portfolio handles another market downturn. Hopefully better than October, when I lost 2.6% on the 27th despite being 40% cash.
That said, I will be looking to acquire Intel. It appears the market is focusing on the short-term, when in fact we are in a lull in the software/hardware cycle. No new software is around to stimulate the purchase of Intel's latest greatest products. But it will come. Intel's R&D edge is just huge. As with Nike, I won't touch Intel unless it's ridiculous (below 60), and I won't look at it as a cost to me if I miss an opportunity.
Looking to pick up Callaway Golf in the low 20's, Adobe in the 30 range. I am looking for other ways to add tech exposure to a value portfolio. Ideas saught.
