Q: Dear Peter:

Is INTC a value play or Value trap?! Is it a turn around candidate or a potential "taken over" candidate?

QCOM offer seems to have faded!

Just for the heck of it I asked the two of the popular AI apps, Chat GPT 3.5 and Perplexity about this. I got some interesting answers! Perplexity was more "informative" and thought it could have a target price of 40$. A double from it's current price level. Chat GPT3.5 on the other hand demurred! Perplexity also thought Private Equity firms like Apollo, or AAPL/Samsung or some Sovereign wealth funds like Mubadala(Abudhabi) may be interested!

As you well know one can get different answers depending on how one poses the questions to these AI chatbots!
Words do matter with AI apps I have found out.

It is struggling to stay above 20$. Where is the floor?!

Any words of wisdom?

Q: Hi I was hoping you could clarify an answer you provided on January 7th about NVDA and trimming below 10%. In past, you have said “ let winners run.”

I’m torn with which approach to take as it seems contradicting. I do hold a very large position in NVDA (exceeding 10%) and need some clarity. Thanks so much.
