Intel (INTC) Up Six Days In A Row

Since it's earnings announcement on April 19 Intel is up 15%, and six days in a row in the gree.  If it closes green today that would make it seven consecutive days of gains.  Excessive?  Probably, at lest in the short term, which is why I expect a pull-back to the $22 area early next […]

Intel (INTC) Important Price Resistance Area
