Rants and WTF are you talking about and Coronavirus!

Pat and another board member is quite enthusiastic as well given they bought lots of shares about a month ago.

It is also a good sign when hearing the CEO say in an interview yesterday how the company is vastly undervalued. I remember the last time I heard something simillair, a company called AMSC went like 20 x in the comming 9 months:

I do own some shares and plan to see what happens.

I wish I had bought more a couple days ago when it fell a little. All I have to go on is your enthusiasm. I may buy some more anyway.

I underwent surgery for a herniated disk (discectomy at L4-L5) a month ago due to leg paralysis. Is there anyone here who has had spinal surgery?

Does having sex become more difficult after spinal surgery? Would it be challenging to perform as strongly as before? Are there people who still go to FKK after spinal surgery?

Every one is different. Better to see with doctors than on internet.

In theory, L4-L5 does not affect sexual function, just lower extremity and bladder. In reality, anyone with a history of disc herniation and surgery can have symptoms below that level due to spinal cord compression imitating spinal cord injury. Disc surgeries at that level in theory should not worsen anything sexual but of course complications happen and if you redistribute weight, other sections may get compressed. In short, pure sexual adverse affects are rare but do happen.

Back problems vary widely and each needs a unique diagnosis. Don't follow advice you will get here. Other than this.

Talk to a real doctor.

You asked, I stated my truth. It sounds weird to me. I have never heard someone refer to themselves as Jewish-American either. I kinda think you are full of it for some reason. Why argue over something stupid like that? I've never heard someone from Latin America refer to themselves as Mexican-American either for that matter. I've heard them refer to themselves as Latino. I have heard Chinese people referred to as Asian. I have definitely never heard someone refer to themselves as Chinese-American. What purpose would it serve in most circumstances. Most American people couldn't tell you where the different Asian countries are on the map or anything substantial about the countries. I can't consistently tell the difference between countrymen by look and definitely not by language. I guess you will tell me that makes me racist, ha, ha.

I'll just say you're full of it for continuing to argue about something that your posts clearly indicate that you have no knowledge or understanding of. Anybody here who is an American or who understands American culture knows darn well that I know exactly what I'm talking about. Want the last word? Go ahead if that makes you feel better.

[BobNSuzy]

Well being an American myself, I'm here to tell you that there's absolutely nothing unusual or "suspect" about that at all. Except for Native Americans, we're all considered to have come here from somewhere else. So, we're always within our own country describing ourselves as Chinese-American, Irish-American, Italian-American, African-American, Jewish-American, etc. That's a standard, regular part of American life, and a very "American way" to describe oneself. And when I say "American", I refer specifically to people from the United States. That said, when we travel abroad or present ourselves to the broader world, we normally just say we are "American". In my extensive travels abroad, I've found that so many people have false impressions and misunderstandings about American life and people, and who and what we are, undoubtedly some of that being caused by Americans themselves. But for you to say, "That sounds like someone outside the USA. ", demonstrates that you don't understand, for to an American that sounds exactly like something an American would say about themselves. Just setting the record straight.

For what it is worth my views are probably due to having had a boss that hated me because I was white and listening to his stupid reasons for hating white people. The original poster had a suspect story. I've never heard someone in the USA Refer to themselves as Chinese American. That sounds like someone outside the USA His use of the English language was suspect as well. I can be as cynical as I want to be. If someone thinks they need to control that they are the nut job.

Yes exactly. The fact that this "guy" never wrote a report in all those years that "he" allegedly visited Sharks, but now makes a username and immediately starts posting some bullshit about "racism" is suspicious to say the least. Especially in a club like Sharks where on any given day there are TONS of people with a diverse cultural and racial background. It's similar to that bullshit about someone getting attacked in the parking lot and Sharks security personnel even joining the fight.

It's amazing that people take this crap serious, but it illustrates again how many 'born-yesterday' naive idiots there are in this world.

Our Thai Chinese snotgobiling here is right though. I'm not a billionaire. But if I'd win the lottery, I know where I'd place a large sum on that money. And I'd soon become one.

10 x is very conservative considering inflation in years ahead.

Why do you think that? Solely because you read it on the internet? I believe it 100% because the same kind of thing has happened to me at least twice in Europe. Once at World in Germany and once at BumsAlp (called something else now) in Switzerland. Each time these girls said what they said (one a gypsy looking Bulgarian and one a blonde Moldovan), they actually had approached me and wanted to fuck, so it was clear they weren't trying to be offensive. But they were in fact being very offensive per my American culture. I wasn't interested in the Bulgarian, but the Moldovan was hot, and clearly didn't know what she was saying would be considered so offensive in the United States (or at least she didn't particularly care one way or the other). So, what did I do? I took her to the room and fucked the cowboy shit out of her! That's what. And while I fucked her? I made her repeat her offensive, racist language while I dicked her down hard! LOLOLOL! That's how I chose to handle it. Say you like this @#%&+@ dick! LMFAO! I didn't get mad, but plenty of people would have. The Bulgarian, I just ignored her. But the point is that this kind of thing is real, and it happens to people all the time in real life. Every single day. This discussion reminds me some of people who claim there is no discrimination because it doesn't happen to them (not that you were saying that). Well, that's the nature of discrimination! It happens to some and not to others. And for those it doesn't happen to, they should not be so quick to deny the lived experiences of other people. And I'm here to testify.

For what it is worth my views are probably due to having had a boss that hated me because I was white and listening to his stupid reasons for hating white people.

Nice! All I know is throughout my investing history I have lost more in potential gains by selling early than I have ever lost by holding too long. Anything is possible with the market. If you are tying to catch a 10 bagger, you got to hold.

Well Pat has been clear on the fact that it will take time to get back into the lead on all fronts. A couple of years. But that should mean by 2030 or earlier. And at that point be back to large dividends as well.

I've done my fair share of digging and it's not only the chips act that makes me certain of a comeback, but also alot of interviews from one of the guys who wrote the x86 architecture. Basically stating that the industry is just holding back. They can do a 50 X improvement If they want. And Moores Law is nothing more than a law based on economic returns. With Pat back in the chair, I have no doubt he will deliver. If he does not deliver, since he is an engineer. It would be a huge blow to American tech leadership globally if Intel didn't. There is just no other company positioned for it. And China would win the AI race, maybe even holding Taiwan (Tsmc) or even South Korea (Samsung) as a hostage otherwise.

The P / E valuation of an Intel foundry business should also be twice as high as the P / E valuation on tsmc given global security issues with Taiwan. And Pat has already mentionned splitting off the foundry business. But I don't think he should do it right away given the interest rates right now and the need for investment. 18 A also won't be enough, and Intel will need further investments on 14 A, 12 A etc. I do think they will get the German 10 be tax refund from the magdeburg plant also. Otherwise Germany will get an even worse image as someone holding back in terms of IT. And europe will loose grounds.

Then there is the lawsuits from that Arab investment company, but that will be offset by the sale of a minor company underperforming. One of the infringements just got cancelled, while they have to pay for another. With 2 more trials to go.

All in all, the possibilities on future income has the potential to even make Microsoft seem small. AMD just claimed the server park business globally will almost quadruple in the next 4 years. And that is just one sector. Somebody will have to make the chips.

Read what I wrote. I did not say that all Eastern European women are uneducated and ignorant. I said that a lot of them who work within the sex industry as prostitutes are. Big difference. If you choose to reply to me, then at least accurately reflect what it is that I have asserted to be true. Obviously not every woman from the east is uneducated and ignorant. But I know from experience that one hell of a lot of them working as tutes are. Nothing "tricky" about it. That's just the facts. Now IQ. Thats tricky and fraught with cultural bias, among other things. But, another subject for another place and time.

You can say only very few and same for German WGs are well educated and clever. I was so disappointed to hear Brenda at the bar, even I was never attracted by her face which is most important for me.

[Sirioja]

Covid showed us that we cannot rely on Asian supply chains alone as well. EU has a stated goal of 20% of the global semiconductor production. USA at least that. Intel is preferred above tsmc.

Micron, the US memory producer is banned from China. It really is a tech war.

But ofcourse the CCCP dogs here on ISG with their Huawei hardware hacking scams doesn't like hearing it.

CCCP was behind the wall, not in Asia, even I agree for shit quality for Asian products except Japan but now very depending from Taiwan electronics. But he seems more US culture than Asia and I don t know what mean CCP when he is not with Chinese nor Russian roots.
