The fun thing about percentages though: you can have a 10,000% gain, but a 100% drop is an instant wipeout. So a 29% drop can still be more significant than what the value was two years ago.
I agree that Intel is overvalued. My point is that you need to zoom out to get a better picture. And a stock that’s up 200% over 2 years is doing really well. It’s funny because your point about percentages was reflected this morning, Intel has slid another 6% so now it’s only up 175% over the past 2 years.
Yeah it came right down to <$20 at one point. I bought a fair bit in 2025 when it first did, and sold most of it at $100. So you know, I’d not mind if it came back down again to repeat the exercise. Although when I got it 2 years ago, I thought “Not even Trump would let Intel fail” and to be fair, he did authorise a cash boost.
I am not completely sure that would be true again. I’d probably still take the punt at $20 again though.
This is a weird one though, because they’ve not even been the biggest name behind AI by anyone’s estimation. Why they took the biggest hit goes beyond AI I think.
According to this random website I found (at least it has sources) intel still makes 22% of it’s revenue from consumer hardware. So the ram companies making consumer hardware more expensive (or just droping it entirely like micron did) harms intel a lot more than it harms the ram companies.
Edit: The 22% also includes computers sold to businesses but not data centres
Yeah, I mean ultimately if I knew the future I could have sold it all at $140 or so. But you don’t really ever know what is happening tomorrow. So ultimately, if you made some return, it’s always good.
Wait a couple more hours for the trading to open back up and watch what happens to the other tech stocks, they’re either gonna bounce or the floor is gonna fall out of under them.
is the bubble finally bursting? i thought it would be way higher than 29%
Intel stock is up over 200% over the last 2 years (even with this 29% drop) so it’s way too early to say it’s popped.

I was in at 24-28 and sold at 58-62, definitely okay with a round 2 attempt if it gets back into the mid 20s.
Randomly another stock ive played the yoyo with is Boeing - BA

Yeah, I’m never mad at a 1 month ROI of 90%

They’re already up in OOH trading. Not a guarantee they will go back up when US trading opens proper. But, it’s usually a good indication.
What’s the saying, that the market can ignore reality longer than you can remain solvent, or something to that effect.
Well it’s certainly rarely based on any logic I can ascertain, that’s for sure.
It’s really just a gauge of how good the investors are feeling, a real market crash would involve way more than a sell off.
in one day
Why’d intel crash before Nvidia tho
I just invested a lot of money and reallocated my entire portfolio, so probably.
(Not in Intel, not in us stocks)
