As a shareholder that's great. Concerned that this is a very fragile win though. I don't think there will be much real world fall out.
How you hold this stock is a mystery to me. With it bouncing between $10 and $15 constantly last year it just seems far to volatile. I'd be panic buying / selling every day to adjust which seems stressful... Maybe why its a favorite of /r/wallstreetbets

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hm. Do cloud providers need to provide up to 30% more capacity for the same price, or do customers need to purchase up to 30% more capacity to get the same speed?
This bug doesn’t magically chop all CPU performance down by almost a third.

#55But is the security Bug exploitable in any realistic way?

#56"Intel has a bug that lets some software gain access to parts of a computer’s memory that are set aside to protect things like passwords." Seems like very little got through to the media about the details regarding this flaws effects and costly workaround.

#59I don't keep up on these kinds of metrics, but I'm under the impression that Intel still dominated CPU benchmarks berfore this issue, so if this question is answered in the negative then I doubt it will affect Intel very much.

#60Didn’t the Intel CEO just sell half of his shares/options? If he knew about these issues isn’t that illegal?
I saw that rumor spreading last night, but have yet to see any trustworthy reporting on any such action. Edit: Here's trustworthy reporting on that action that also predates this announcement: https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/12/19/intels-ceo-just-so...
Intel has a rule where c-suite and up execs who have been at the company 5+ years must hold a minimum amount of stock. For the CEO, that number is 250,000. The CEO recently exercised options and immediately sold them, holding onto the absolute minimum required (250k).
This is all available on the SEC's website, trades like this are reported to the SEC and are considered public information.
