in my opinion INTC MAY have bottomed based upon the 2 day chart I use.

INTC definitely has strong long term support in the 19.50 area so losses from here are pretty doubtful. I have a feeling this stock will stay in a 19-22 trading range for quite some time. Money can still be made, but I would wait until it has moved out of it's 2% downward channel. It's not quite there yet.

While I own INTC in two retirement accounts (I don't know why I haven't sold them, but that is another story), I believe that it may have bottomed, BUT that is not a guarantee. Look at a loner term chart thatn 2 days and you may see a far different look. I would be selling calls or buying puts on this breaking the lows of last week. It has support here, but the next support is down at 14-15.

I think if this has bottomed and starts to turn up. There should be a lot of evidence in the indicators.

I would wait until the stock tells me its time to buy.

Even if it has bottomed it may sit here for a while.

I'd like to see another couple of retracement days in the SMH. I'm not quite sure AMD is finished going down yet. A couple of flushout days would put these two in a great risk/reward situation.

Well I have to disagree here with the whole crowd. Sorry folks.
What is it exactly that is telling you a botton is in place?
Yes agree with HNC strong support at 19.5, that does not imply a bottom. There is no sign of bottom here as far as my eyes can read.
Let me tell you what I read:
1 - a steep increase in volume by 50 regresion in the last of course 50 days (most of the drop) - not climatic yet.
2 - a slight increase in volume (almost flat for the last 10 days)I supposse for about the time span you folks are calling a turn. Therefore unsupported.
3 - a negative divergence in ROC the size of the Grand Canyon.
notice that althought ROC has improve in the very last weeks it continues to be under the 0 line
4 - a negative divergence the of similar characteristics in TSV
notice that althought TSV has improve in the very last weeks it continues to be under the 0 line
5 - MS is as negative divergent as everything else.
So at this point there is nothing pointing here to a change of character. At the most an up fluctuation in the down path.
When the price, volume and indicators tell me otherwise I will process accordingly. Right now calling a bottom is just hoping.
good luck

You didn't disagree with my thoughts, all I said was it "may have bottomed" and I would be selling calls and/or buying puts with a break of the lows of last week.

By the way ROC divergence of what indicator? TSV, MS, or something else?

Actually AMD is at a great looking short entry point right now. I'm pretty sure it's not finished going down. I would have some caution in AMD only because they are stealing market share from INTC. But on the chart it looks awfully H&S like right now.

I wouldn't at all say "may have bottomed". I would say "may be forming a bottom". There is a difference and I would not buy here. If for no other reason INTC has a long term history of earnings shortfalls.

The only good thing you can say about this stock is it is at a low risk entry point. You only have about .50 of risk, but once it drops below 19.00 it will have a better chance of going to 16.00 than it will 22.

Or MUCH lower, look at a long term chart, support exists in the $13-15 area.
