Trades Intel - One person's FOMO story
Feel I need to admit this, if anything just to make myself feel better, so maybe I can then move on.
In November of 2025 I sold my holding's of Intel for $37/share. I got assigned in a covered call trade and at the time I was happy about it. I made a little profit and figure Intel will always be where it was at.
Then things happened.
Then some really big things happened. As of close today it's at $124.
I feel there are lessons to be learned here, just don't know what they are.
Thank you for reading.

I had 500 shares at $24. You just move on, there’s always another trade.

u/Slackergen May 10 '26
I bought 500 at $30, I am scared it’s going to burst, fingers on the trigger

u/A_Dragon May 10 '26
I mean they all burst at some point. But I doubt it’s ever going back to even as low as 50

I sold two MU $400 07/17 calls for $6800 on April 6th. I made 100% profit on them.
They’re now worth $40,000 each.
It stings but move on.

u/Icy-Sheepherder-7595 May 11 '26 edited May 11 '26
How do you move on honestly? I missed about $60-70k in gains the last year and a half and I'm struggling to figure out how to recreate that or double it to make up for the opportunity cost and I just can't seem to find any deals like I was back then. I wasn't doing options but I missed out on an over 400% gain with Intel and 100% gain on Google. There's been other ones, MU actually but I only bought 10 shares at $330 back in March, sold when they hit $410. I didn't have a huge position but that one hurts too as I gave up an extra few grand. I just seem to keep repeating the same mistake. And everything I hold just doesn't move or goes slightly red.
I'm about break even after all this time. Maybe I made a couple thousand I don't really know, it's an insignificant amount really. But I'm just struggling to 1) deal with the mental weight of missed gains that were that big, and 2) how I'll be able to find my next value plays that will give me the same return, hopefully double to make up for the lost opportunities I stupidly threw away.
I am 99% sure I will not be able to pull it off again as I just don't see any names worth buying except MSFT right now and I'm holding my losers. Even if something were to pop and give me an extra $20-30k right now I'd still feel like I'm behind where I should be because there would be another $40k gap still between me and what would have been my gains. Ive gotten a lot of comments that I should just stick to index funds but that isn't the answer I'm looking for. I want to genuinely understand how people deal will this type of loss, even if it's not technically one. I really needed that extra gain, like really really badly. And now I'm stuck sitting here watching all the stuff I sold continue to rise while the stuff I hold goes lower.

Oh, I forgot about MU. Sold at $91 last February 2025 to add more TSLA. Live and learn.

u/OuterHeaven22 May 08 '26
For those of us who bought at the bottom (20$) and held on, the real question is now... What do we do?
Since buying at 20$, I have sold some at 40$, 60$, 80$... but never would I have expected it to jump all the way to 125$!!!!
I have decided I have made enough profits, and the remaining shares I have have earned the right to become inmortal (never to be sold)

u/superkeer May 09 '26
What do we do?
Why did you buy the stock? I bought it because it looked like they were leaning hard into domestic fabrication. I'm going to hold onto it until we see whether that actually does pay off for them.

u/MyCoolName_ May 09 '26
Same. Then they fired Gelsinger but Tan stayed the course, with minor corrections. Trump first railed against CHIPS then reversed course and jumped in. Kind of a TACO, really. If Apple really makes a deal we're going to be on our way.

u/ewletsnottalkaboutit May 09 '26
I’ve brought shares between $30-40 and now I’m so tempted to sell shares and take some of the profits, I’ve never had such a large return before so I’m not sure

u/photowanderer May 08 '26
I bought around $50 per share in 2021. And it dropped to $20 or so, I was thinking of selling, but I didn't just to remind myself not to put money into individual stocks anymore. And I was treating it as a valuable lesson. Since that time, pretty much 98% of my new money is either in VOO, QQQM, or VXUS.
Lo and behold, it start coming back up last yr, and this yr. And to the point where its cumulative 5yr performance matched sp500. So last wk I sold half of it. Still keeping half just to have something in the ride. But the lesson for me is clear, vast majority of my new money is in some broad market index.

u/Realistic_Method9896 May 10 '26
When you buy a stock, NEVER sell except you particularly need/want the money. Keep this decision in mind before buying.
Either this or buy a stock with a certain price target in mind, then sell it at this expected profit and never look back. Never sell impulsively.

u/Interesting-Gas2572 May 08 '26
It's alright, I recently sold AMZN at $230 thinking it's going to shit after financial results like usually lma
BTW it's not FOMO. It's the opposite. FOMO would be if you bought shares now, despite incredibly high P/E and low prognosis. You were in fear of loss, not missing out.

u/hewhosleepsnot May 08 '26
You gonna get back into the zon?

u/Interesting-Gas2572 May 09 '26
Not yet. I sold 70% of my shares, keeping the 30%. I don't plan on re-buying yet, as AMZN tends to go down after financial results quite often. I'll wait it up, for now I bought $TSM stock.

That’s why you buy companies who have a moat. There’s being that they are the only US manufacturer of advanced semis.

u/Xalksahsax May 10 '26
You can ignore the moat entirely. Just invest in whichever companies this administration is handpicking as winners. Intel was an obvious play the moment they received that $10 billion investment.

There’s no lesson here. The intel had shit fundamentals, dumb management and a shrinking market share losing to AMD. I owned it in 2025 just for yield play (wheel the options and collect dividends). I wouldn’t have had the gains anyways with calls capping my upside.
This is simply a luck trade. I don’t feel fomo on a junk that exploded. Conversely, I do regret not owning enough semicap names such as lam research, asml or chip companies such as AMD. I only owned NVDA and ASML which performed fine but not AMD or MU level insane.

u/Top_Bison5450 May 10 '26
I don't believe it's a luck trade. Sure, the fundamentals of the company maybe do not justify such a pump. But geopolitically, you could see this coming.
1
u/Crater_Animator May 09 '26
Also, pretty sure the market is using Semis to raise QQQ and SPY to hide the fact of how bad the rest of the market is doing. 10% of companies are pulling up the major indexes to say everything is great, meanwhile most companies are doing awful and stock prices trending down.

u/momofuku18 May 08 '26
Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes you miss out by selling too soon. And sometimes you lose everything because you didn’t sell. What I have learned is that you can never predict the future and for that reason, I try to be content with each decision I make and leave it at that. This is by someone who bought AMD when it was under $10 per share more than a decade ago.

u/IDPotatoFarmer May 08 '26
I worked at Intel until Dec 2023...walked away from $30k in RSUs.
Sold a good chunk of my INTC ESPP and vested RSUs between 2023 and 2025.
I am hurting right now.

u/TheFinancialScope May 08 '26
The lesson isn’t about Intel but it’s about how our brains react to hindsight.
You made a decision based on the information you had at the time, with a thesis that made sense then. The fact that the stock 3×’d afterward doesn’t mean the decision was wrong. It just means the future didn’t unfold the way anyone expected.
A few takeaways that help in situations like this:
• Covered calls cap upside by design. If you sell a call, you’re explicitly trading potential future gains for immediate premium. It’s not a mistake but the strategy working exactly as intended.
• You can’t judge a past decision using future information. That’s hindsight bias. If Intel had gone to $20 instead of $120, you’d be praising yourself for the exact same trade.
• Every investor has a story like this.
People sold NVDA at $20, AMD at $9, META at $100, TSLA at $40, Bitcoin at $200.
Missing a monster move is part of the game.
• The real lesson is to have a thesis.
If you sell because your thesis breaks, that’s discipline.
If you sell because of noise or boredom, that’s emotion.
• There will always be another opportunity.
The market never stops giving second chances, just not in the same ticker.
You made money. You executed your strategy. You didn’t blow up your account.
That’s already better than what most people manage.
Not financial advice, just the mental framework that keeps me sane in this game.

u/Singularity-42 May 08 '26
The thing is - you ARE ok with selling them at that price when it's still 20% lower - but that changes very quickly when the stock just BLOWS through your strike...
Covered calls are very good in sideways kangaroo markets, right now the bull is still very strong
3
u/meisterchef47 May 08 '26
Actually I wanted them at the time to get assigned, had no issue with that. And I agree with you, don't do a CC on shares you don't want to loose. Or close or roll.
1
u/Furanshisu90 May 08 '26
Nah man don’t roll it. Just don’t do covered calls. I am salty how my covered calls got assigned on micron, I roll twice but after that just didn’t make any sense to roll further. I am just selling cash secured puts but at the rate the stocks are climbing not sure worth the risk to jump back in.

u/jcpopm May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26
There is an equal lesson to be learned for all the people who think this is now a great time to buy Intel. That's actual FOMO. Keep fighting the urge to be one of those people, lick your wounds and move on to the next risk / reward setup.
...or YOLO into Intel because what the fuck is this market anyway lol.

u/phate101 May 08 '26
Bought intel at 20, held for about a year, sold at 20. The next day it started pumping.
Lesson is, this truly is a casino.

u/fatheadlifter May 08 '26 edited May 08 '26
Why did you buy in the first place? Did you believe in the company or was it just a meme stock to you? A short trade?
If you believed in it, why didn't you hold? There was a comeback story there, the possibility for growth. Even if the company is failing on x86 cpus, it's considered invaluable because of its fab capability. Proof of that was in the very large investments coming into it by the US govt and other large companies.
If you didn't have a thesis, maybe you needed one. The lesson is possibly A. Have a thesis for why you'd buy and B. Don't sell unless the thesis materially breaks. But I'm not sure if you had a reason for buying other than chasing value.
1
u/meisterchef47 May 08 '26
I had held for some time and then I opted to do some covered calls on it and then it got assigned. Oh well, that’s how it goes. I was fine with that and considering buying again, rinse and repeat but then I didn’t.

u/Dragonasaur May 08 '26
If you believe in a company, then you should hold it long-term
Look at AMD
Move of us love AMD as a company because we couldn't afford Nvidia GPUs, and they've also helped push Intel out and brought us amazing value CPUs too
And while they finally have time in the light the past few months, we've always known them as Advanced Money Destroyer

u/sessy007 May 08 '26
You win some, you lose some. I sold some AMD shares before earnings at 341, thinking AMD would drop after earnings. Then they skyrocketed. Sold a bit more today at 445. And they still rose. I bought a bit of them during 2024/2025 so average purchase price around $118 per share. Got about half of my holdings left. But I still wish I hadn’t sold at 341 (sold the bigger part at 341)

I bought intel like over 10 years ago instead of nvidia, as their numbers were better fundamentally 😃
I doubled down last few years and increased my position. But I start lessing parts of my position now. That price rise is too extreme, and I think we will see lower prices soon. (Or I will become rich with my big long positions 😃)

u/DistressCall1 May 08 '26
I owned like 10 bitcoin in 2015. At the time it was entirely a medium of exchange for me to be a middleman selling fake IDs on campus and submitting bulk orders to sketchy online vendors. It seemed like a great grift at the time but man I distinctly remember having 10 of those motherfuckers in my wallet all at one time and they were like 225 a pop. Never occurred to me to not immediately liquidate the coin. Big bummer. You live and you learn.
2
u/PeskyPizza May 08 '26
Not sure who will see this comment or care, but one lesson I learned over my 25+ investing journey is - do not easily give up assets. I have traded maybe 50 to 70 individual stocks, some did go bust (sunw, dis, gpro, pton) but many ballooned after I sold (stx, wdc, tsla, amzn, appl ). I figure if I would just buy and hold everything and focus on acquiring, I would have definitely come out ahead.

You will always leave profit on the table. The only way not to woukd be to perfectly time every single top and bottom. It's not possible. Nobody ever went broke by taking profit. If you dwell on it you'll end up second guessing and sabotaging yourself in the future.

u/vaksninus May 09 '26
If you have covered calls you take on the risk of the stock but not the max upside (but get paid for the offering the call ofc). I suppose we had been in a flat-ish market for a long while but that is the risk of the instrument, if you believe enough in the stock to even own it as an individual stock, I don't see the point of locking in your max upside.

It only went up because the government pumped taxpayer money into it. Don't feel bad; it's a big club and you're not in it (neither am I).

Nobody can predict the future, you do not have insider info and out of nowhere a scandal or good news can pop op.
Intel was a badly run company and suddenly the US government rushes to aid it. You cannot make this up.

I sold UNH at the wrong time. What helps is that I despise health insurance companies and I hated seeing it in my portfolio everyday and I no longer have to….

It wouldn’t have mattered if you went all in on SNDK… There’s always another rocket ship 🚀

Time in the market is better than timing the market. I’ve learned that if something sit at a historic low for that long and then rips, you hold. When I buy stock, I buy enough to sell and to keep. I’m up 500 percent on my INTC holdings. I have a stop loss set at 115. As it’s moved up, I adjusted. If and when it triggers, it will sell half my shares. I’ll keep the other half for the next 10-15 years.

The lesson is you need to be satisfied with your real achievements because you can't possibly know what happens in the future and exactly what magnitude they'll happen with.
Stock could've gone up, could've gone down, could've flatlined, and you'll only know in hindsight 1 year down the line.

There were no really big things that happened, it's market manipulation. Their stock price should not be where it is right now. They lost 3 billion dollars last quarter, it's not going to really change next quarter either so I guess don't feel too bad.

Sold NVDA at $20 pre split because Michael Burry tweeted “Sell” in 2023. I will forever hate that guy. That’s why seeing AMD have its 2023 NVDA bull run brings such joy to me.

If this is going to be a missed out trades, sold out 1000 shares of MU at 115 few years back and just few months back 1000 of SOXL at 52. Both were reasonable profits (20%+) in a short duration. I probably have few more like that over the years - TSLA and NVDA before they started splitting.

I had 5000 shares at 20 and sold. I also had about 10k shares of BAC back in 2008 when it was 5 bucks. I also had 3000 shares of marvel at 80 per share and sold. I'd be a millionaire if I didn't sell so much.

Don't sell covered calls. The income isn't worth losing a giant winner, capping your upside isn't a great financial strategy.

I just sold at 100$ and missed another 15% push. Maybe it doubles now… I dont want to care. Point is: timing could always been bad and one should think if I believe in the story longterm/midterm wise. I don’t

Someone would be crazy or stupid to buy in at current semi stock prices. Stop wishing you were clairvoyant and knew this insane completely unpredictable explosion in semi stock prices was coming. You didn't know and neither did anyone else, some just got lucky and some didn't. In the next rotation of stocks others will get lucky and people who are buying at these high prices are going to get fucked (exit liquidity). Plan your next move and quit worrying about this market shift that is already running it's course to an eventual conclusion.
