Intel’s Warnings Benefit Value Investors

Ockham Research Staff @ January 15, 2009 # No Comment Yet


Intel remains the dominate chip maker and even though sales and earnings have begun to slump, we think there is compelling value in Intel. After all, the company provides the brains for 80 percent of the world’s computers, and is positioned to benefit greatly as the economy turns around. It is not a bad idea to invest in an industry leader that is trading at 12 year lows because even if it gets worse before it gets better, you know that Intel will still be around when things do improve.

Just Google It

Ockham Research Staff @ October 1, 2008 # 3 Comments


Yesterday’s strange dip in the price of GOOG stock was certainly weird, but the actual stock is looking rather attractive without any artificial drops. We think that Google’s growth will continue, perhaps not at the same pace, but given the level of sales and cash flow it is just too cheap and value like this usually does not last.
