Intel stock price increased from $25 to $135 in last 12 months during same period there was no increase in revenue and Intel lost over $20 billion in last 3 years, a loss in every year and revenue was flat at $50 billion during same period with a slight $2 billion drop. So what triggered this 250% increase in stock price. Intel is not alone in this regard, but you have to start asking questions from somewhere. Is it rumors of a miracle top secret chip or processor, is it mindless retail investor greed, is it Intel buying back its stock. If anybody knows the answer I would love to hear
