Stocks tend to be most volatile around earnings season, when a good or bad report can make or break it. However, a good or even great earnings report doesn't necessarily translate into a huge pop for a stock.
During earnings season, BullMarket.com publishes a comprehensive 25- to 40-page Earnings Preview report for the week ahead each [...]
A
significant portion of all the great advantages that the world has
received through the promise of technology can be credited to the Big 3:
Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), Intel Corp. (INTC) and Microsoft (MSFT).

They say there is safety in numbers. That may be true heading into battle, but it's not necessarily true in the investment world.
Whether it's tulips, dot-com stocks or houses, popularity can push the short-term price of assets past their true long-term value. But while bubbles can build over time, price corrections can be swift.

True confessions: I've been known to engage in chart chasing.
"Chart chasing" is a nickname coined by StreetAuthority co-founder Paul Tracy to describe the practice of running to the nearest digital device to pull up a price chart whenever someone mentions a stock.
And why not? On the surface, a quick glance at a price chart seems [...]
Bellwether fabless semiconductor company Altera Corp. (ALTR) went a step ahead to focus on an advanced version of FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) chips. For this transition into high-end high performance next-generation chips, Altera is collaborating with the chip giant Intel Corp. (INTC).

The
PC era seems to be drawing to a close. The once dominating force in
the technology sector – Wintel – is not what is used to be. The
two companies involved,
Microsoft
(Nasdaq:

Intel
(Nasdaq:
INTC), continue to search for a new path for success in the
rapidly-expanding smartphone and tablet era.
Take Intel, for
example. The company's most recent earnings report showed profits
fell 15 percent as revenues and profit margins dropped in 2012,
thanks largely to declining...
Last week, Gartner published PC-unit growth estimates for the fourth quarter, showing a decline of 5%. This concern was supported by Intel's (Nasdaq: INTC) December quarterly results, showing a 6% decline in its PC business.

The "Fiscal Cliff". You can't watch television or read a newspaper without hearing or seeing news on the recent developments in regards to the cliff. Washington appears to be dysfunctional, and appears to enjoy it as individual lawmakers try to leverage partisan policy. This is evident on both sides of the aisle. I'm personally not someone who follows Washington very closely. As such, I couldn't care less what happens with regards to whatever mania/news comes piping out from headquarters...
Few companies can claim they actually contributed to changing the world. But less than 30 years ago, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) did change the world as they defined the standards for personal computers (PCs). With Intel providing the hardware standards and Microsoft defining software, those two companies made the widespread acceptance of [...]
Now and then I like to watch Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" show on CNBC to see what direction the wind is blowing. That is, I think Cramer has a very entertaining show, especially if you like shouting and nobody taking the other side of his arguments, but it seems he echos what is "group think" that tells you "why" a stock is up or down, but does very little for making good, long-term decisions.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) and Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) have been offered stakes in the Japanese electronics company Sharp Corporation (PINK:SHCAY).
Sharp’s future has been in doubt recently due to management issues, and the company is now desperately seeking investors in order to stay afloat. Sharp, which makes display monitors, is reportedly in talks with the semiconductor maker Intel [...]
The latest quarterly earnings statement from Qualcomm (Nasdaq: QCOM) blew away most estimates. This resulted in the company's stock actually briefly surpassing the market valuation of long-time chip champion, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC). This is not a blip. There are reasons why investors should expect this to be the continuation of a long-term trend where Qualcomm outperforms Intel.
Qualcomm had such a good quarter because it is largest seller of semiconductors for mobile phones, including the...

Intel looks like it may be finally carving out a bottom, after a relentless decline (by blue chip standards) that saw it give back all of its 2012 gains. The specter of a post-PC world continues to weigh heavily on INTC - the result of which is a stock that is FREAKING CHEAP! Who ever [...]
With inflation not much of a concern for investors or the Fed, this morning’s CPI reading is essentially a non-event.

We have downgraded Intel Corporation (INTC) shares from Neutral to Underperform following the company's lowered expectations for the next quarter.

Stocks started this week off strong, with the major averages surging nearly across the board.

Thanks to the geniuses at Frito Lay (PEP), the snack food universe has evolved into a bout a gazillion different varieties, many of which I haven't eaten and plan to never eat. However, few people could argue that two of their original core, old school products, original Lay's potato chips and Ruffles, are just as good today as they were have a century ago. Sometimes I feel like a broken record when it comes to some of my stock ideas, but like those potato chips, they're good, dependable...

Well, Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chairman, recently announced the Fed is going to buy $40 billion worth of mortgage bonds per month until unemployment eases and the general economy improves.

The new "QE3: To Infinity and Beyond!" is designed to keep interest rates low, which is supposed to spur...

Traders sometimes overreact to bad news. One of the most common occurrences of this is when a company reports lower-than-expected earnings or guidance, which causes the stock to sell off sharply. If the earnings miss is isolated to that quarter, the sell-off creates a buying opportunity. I think that defines the opportunity we have right [...]

I think you’ll all agree that the earnings season thus far has been less than stellar. In fact, as Sheraz noted earlier in the week; average earnings are down year over year.
What’s even more odd is that some companies like Intel (INTC) are warning about future performance and yet traders are [...]
