Looking Ahead with Intel

With all the negative news surrounding Intel and its struggle to keep up with competitors, I still believe the company has the potential to turn things around. Intel’s challenges might deter some investors, but I’m okay taking the risk. I’ll continue cost-averaging and holding my position, as I don’t foresee the company going out of business anytime soon.

That’s a wrap for 2024! Thanks for being part of this journey. Wishing you all the best in the new year. See you in 2025!
