Intel Corp (INTC)

>> and that was following a *disastrous* 2012 (down nearly 20%).

except for very few instances, the only time a stock goes up significantly is when it is bought following a big drop that was unjustified.

For instance, at this time, Ford Motor.

Even though I have many shares of INTC I don't expect a jump in price. Neither big jump or little jump. They already told the world they estimate flat revenue, and lower profit. Where will the jump come from ?

And it is still a mystery to me what all the planned increase in capacity is for. Are there two 14-nm large fabs coming on-line soon ?

Anyway, I am in the camp of folks satisfied with 10% annual income. Wasn't that the exact figure that enticed Madoff's investors ? So obviously that's the number that most people consider a benchmark for good performance.
