I agree, NVDA would be at the top of my list as well. LOL that would be something to see INTC take them if it was able to be legit…

Hope you have a great Turkey Day Jack!

Brandon,

My first pick for a buyer would be NVDA. Now, if it wasn’t for anti-security laws, INTC would love to do a hostile takeover:)

Jack, you mentioned this could be an excellent take-over target for someone wanting to have a major foothold in this sector. Who, in your opinion, are the prime candidates for such a major play?

Blain, the time frame would vary. Market volatility coupled with options’ decay will dictate how long i would hold a particular position. When Dealing with a covered call play, i have held as long as 8 months and as little as 3 days.

AMD is planning on releasing a new chip architecture called “Spider” that will show the synergies it created after purchasing ATI. If the platform is successful, it could prove to be a very wise investment. I’ve been looking at AMD for a long time but never felt totally comfortable making the leap. Good luck on your trade, and thanks for the blog. I discovered it a few weeks ago and have been reading its feeds daily ever since.
