I am hoping I am seeing enough size sneaking in for INTC for a later surprise pop back to $30...

it's hard to read when things are bleakest , and could get bleaker

but I am even here on it @.77/80 area....if it does fail later it will be a real good shake out on the entire playing field.

do or die here at .75/76
