INTC.. WARNING! currently I am not in INTC not options or puts. Here again, I might enter if I see an opportunity. Posters, please beware of traders that tout stocks, strategies and their own intentions. Often they don't follow up on their intentions in a timely manner. They leave you dangling at the critical 'moment of decision'. You are never sure if they bought or sold or held. Then they return later (usually after the close), 'miraculously' claiming to have made the right decision at the right time.. But where were they? I get e-mail complaining about this and asking what to do. Threads that don't follow through their own picks or disappear and reappear. Just do your own DD, don't depend on anyone's analysis or claims. That is the reason I will rarely a) actually recommend a particular stock (without disclaimer) , b) prophetize and speculate on a stocks immediate future, c) disappear leaving traders baffled, or d) buy someone else's pick unless I study it beforehand. e) espouse complicated strategies that are great in technical analysis textbooks but fall short in 'real life' trading. I'm extremely comfortable with my own watch list but feel very unprepared and vulnerable with other's picks. Learn to follow about 50 stocks.. even 20.. Get yourself a consistent, workable strategy. Don't think because you don't understand someone's concept, it is brilliant. Of course there are some wonderful readings of the market from posters. Usually they are 'well-known' posters whose posts speak for itself. They leave behind a verifiable 'track record'.. Develop your own strategies. Get a book that is understandable..
