Intel: Poised For Something Big?

Right now it looks like there are plenty of better stocks to trade than Intel (INTC). Still, the international semiconductor chip maker is not to be overlooked. Binary options traders need to be careful when navigating these stormy waters, because short-term positions might fail to deliver positive results. On the long run, though, we have good reason to expect something significant to happen and right now the company looks like a great investment opportunity.

Is Intel Planning A Big Move?
From a trader’s perspective, it's only fair to say that Intel looks slightly underpriced and the most optimistic forecasts suggest that the stock could rise as high as $28 by the end of the year. Which is the main reason why traders are keeping a close eye on it. It all has to do with the excess capacity that Intel is known to have, but the real question is why does the company carry so much capacity?

One reason is that Intel plans something big and, as always, wants to make sure that it is properly equipped for success. It's one of the few companies that rarely brags, yet achieves excellent results when it actually attempts something special. All this build-up can serve as an indicator that Intel is on the verge of making another step forward, which is bound to impact the stock price.


Why It Makes Sense To Buy
Those who have the resources to commit to such an investment and are not hunting for quick profits would be right to buy Intel's stock. It is underpriced right now and the return on investment will be significant; if the company is indeed ready for another giant leap. The only problem is that the move might not come as soon as expected and those who are bullish toward Intel should arm themselves with patience.

Binary options traders should tread lightly because right now the stock is not moving in either direction, at least not in such a manner as to warrant a decisive move. One thing is certain and that is that put options are out of the question right now, since Intel is doing surprisingly well and the stock is already at unreasonably low levels.
