I'd actually stay clear of both at the moment. Both stocks are overvalued in my mind, unless you are looking at short term plays...With stocks, it isn't AMD vs. Intel since neither and both are also options.
~1 month checkup since Nov 2 prices: AMD down 7.82%, Intel down 6.87% all while the bulk of the stock market is up.You don't know how to value a company, that is pretty clear. Both overvalued? Lmao
AMD is a steal while INTC is an overvalued pig of a stock that can't get out of its own way. Watch an learn - AMD will be $20 in less than 6 months while INTC will be back in the 30s if they're lucky.

Can you please keep making projections, since I clearly don't know how to value a company? I'd like to keep doing the opposite of what you say to do.
I don't own any individual INTC stock, as would be noticed by my repeatedly saying that BOTH AMD and INTC were overvalued. I probably do have some through mutual funds though. Those portions of the mutual funds would be down. Have no fear, I'll keep coming back to see how your 6 month prediction worked out.How is your INTC investment doing this week? Not so good? My AAPL 170 strike calls are still doing fine. Today I bought AMD January 2019 $10 strike calls. for 2.23. Why don't you bookmark this post so you can come back later to see if I've lost money and "prove" that I am not really from the future? I'm sure your findings will be revelatory!
Quick question... Come 2018... For my 401k contributions (have 2 of them, one for the wife)...
Which one does ATOT think is most likely to happen...
1) Max out contributions now, prices are as low as they will go for 2018
2) average out contributions so it equals out at the end of the year roughly
3) Minimize contributions to just the employer match amount... because the market is going to have a correction sometime through 2018.

My philosophy is to NOT gamble with my retirement. I go with the tried and true method of #2. It is boring, but for those of us without inside information, it has been proven to be the best option over and over again. Plus, most companies don't allow #1 since most companies cap contributions to your 401k on each paycheck. Neither my wife nor I could do #1 if we wanted to.For my 401k contributions (have 2 of them, one for the wife)...

I wish I had book marked the study but there was a well researched study that showed that due to the inability to accurately predict a correction most investors who try to time them lose out on more money than if they would have invested as normal and ridden out the correction. A huge part of the issue are the gains before and after the correction and that corrections tend to be short (~100 days). The average correction reduces the stock market by around 14% or so but the rebound usually comes in around 16% or so and those gains come very quickly meaning you really have to do a great job predicting the bottom. When you combine timing difficulties with the benefits of the run up and rebound it found people worrying about corrections enough to change their investment strategy end up with 4% lower returns over a 12 month period (with the correction right in the middle of the 12 months) than those who made not changes to their investment plan

I predict that 2018 will be volatile. People have delayed selling any stock this year as next year will have lower taxes. Thus, there will be a lot of profit taking. Corporations will be transferring their money from overseas (which in many cases is just invested back in the US stocks). So, to transfer that money, they'll have to sell US stocks. But, as soon as the money is back in the country, they'll be buying back their own shares and paying massive dividends which would increase prices. So, ultimately I see strong forces both up and down. Which one wins is beyond my ability to predict, so I will just predict volatility as those forces fight it out.I predict correction in Jan.
People are going to take profits.
You can max out 401k in Jan 2018?
U.S. stocks have so much momentum that they’re likely to keep on rising for a while, Doug Ramsey, chief investment officer at Leuthold Group LLC, wrote in a note Friday. Ramsey cited data on the S&P 500 Index and its 14-week relative strength index, which closed last week at 83.4, its highest level since January 1959. The S&P 500 and the relative-strength gauge peaked at the same time only twice in 15 bull markets since index calculations started in 1928. The simultaneous highs occurred in 1938, not shown in the chart, and 1980.
So what is everyone's biggest regret of the year? Maybe something more specific than just not buying at the low and selling at the high... or "shoulda played bitcoin"
im betting the correction will happen in Jan 2018 so sold $500k of my stocks and bought vwetx (long term investment bonds).I thought 2017 would have some kind of a dip/correction. Obviously I was mistaken, Oh well, no real loss.

lets see what happens a year from now (dec 2018).
WILL be passing?!there will be an eventual correction but it's not going to happen in Jan 2018 considering the tax bill that the republicans will be passing
WILL be passing?!
the tax bill effectively passed last weekend and the market reacted on Mon with a 3 digit gain.
now that the tax bill is priced in, I say correction in 1st Q 2018

I think at this point, mine was not taking on more NVDA and not getting into ISRG at all. I used to play ISRG a lot when my previous employer didn't have a 60 day buy and hold policy. Once that came into play, I stopped paying attention to the stock.
NVDA was a purchase at the same time i bought AMD. We all know how that played out since June. Anyway, hindsight is pretty unhealthy when trading, but that doesn't mean i don't have it 20/20.
