Hey folks we've got a real heavyweight on our hands today - Intel Corporation. Strap in because we're about to break down their recent moves, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride!

I. The Intel Powerhouse

Intel, the Silicon Valley stalwart, has been shaking things up in the tech world since '68. They're not just any tech company; they're the muscle behind the brains of your PC, with chips that have fueled countless breakthroughs. But that's not all, they're charging ahead in AI, 5G, and the edge computing game. This isn't just tech, it's the future of tech!

II. Big Bucks in Israel

Hold on tight because Intel just threw down a $25 billion deal with the Israeli government. That's not pocket change; that's serious moolah, the biggest investment ever by a global player in Israel. It's like Intel just said, "Hey, Israel, we're in it for the long haul, let's make some history together!"

And check this out - partnerships galore! Mobileye for self-driving cars, IMS Nanofabrication for top-notch semiconductor gear, Codeplay Software for that extra software oomph, and Granulate Cloud Solutions for cloud dominance. Intel's playing the field, and it's looking like a slam dunk for their stock.

III. Ohio: The Buckeye State is Buzzing

But wait, there's more! Intel's dropping over $20 billion on not one but two chip factories in Ohio. That's like going all-in on a winning hand! Jobs, jobs, jobs - that's what this means for the good people of Ohio. And let me tell you, when Intel puts down that kind of cash, it's like a vote of confidence in the U.S. chip game.

IV. Ohio Factory: Big Dreams, Bigger Chips

Intel's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, isn't playing small ball. He's calling Ohio the future epicenter of silicon manufacturing. Two thousand acres, eight fabs - that's not a factory; that's a tech kingdom! This ain't just a factory; it's a statement, a statement that says, "Intel's back, and we're taking over."

V. Intel's Impact in the Holy Land

Now, Israel's no stranger to Intel. They've been in the game since '74, and they're dropping another $25 billion bomb on semiconductor facilities. Kiryat Gat is about to become the hottest spot on the tech map. Intel's not just investing; they're making a statement, saying, "We believe in Israel, and we're putting our money where our chips are."

Intel is looking to develop a new chip for their notebooks. The chip will combine the Intel CPU with the AMD graphics processor. The result is a chip that is small in size and lightweight yet is capable of delivering top of the line graphics for the most demanding of video games.

What seems like an obvious collaboration has not occurred since the 1980's. In fact, the two companies have been bitter competitors for years. They have battled fiercely for control of the market for PC processors. This advantage has admittedly gone to Intel for the majority of that time.

However, Intel is watching that advantage being challenged by NVidia. They have continued to be the producer of the leading graphic cards while developing the AI end of their business. This development of the AI end of things has had no effect on the core product of graphics cards.

Markets Move Higher Looking Forward to Earnings Season

According to an article today by the NY Times, the American recovery is in full affect for US corporations and the upcoming earnings season should display some of this good news throughout business sectors. Profits among businesses in America will be some of the best numbers ever seen according to the news source. This positive feeling about corporate profits has already has brought the major indexes out of a downward movement and into a short-term rally. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has bounced off a nine month low of 9595 up to 10225 over the past week.
