🌟🌟🌟 $Intel(INTC)$ skyrocketed another 7.67% today, building a massive momentum on top of yesterday's 4.03% jump.  $SK hynix(SKHY)$ is reportedly in advance talks to manufacture memory chips on US soil for the first time.

The plan is for Hynix to lease a big chunk of Intel's Ohio plant or they team up with Intel & Big Tech hyperscalers to form a huge memory producing joint venture.

Investors are faced with a dilemma: to buy Intel now or wait for the actual deal to be signed:

The Believers: Buy now

If Hynix moves into Intel's Ohio plant, it validates Intel's manufacturing capabilities.  Waiting for signature may mean missing out on Intel's valuation re-rating.

The Realists: Waiting until the contract is signed

Shortly after the rumour broke, Hynix said that nothing has been finalised.  This deal needs the approval of S Korea's authorities.

My Take: I would wait until the order has been signed. I prefer to invest in $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ instead.

Memory Prices Up Over 500% — Does That Still Count as Good News?
Memory rallied Thursday on a line from Intel's CEO: memory prices are up more than 500%. Micron +5.50% to $977.50, SanDisk +6.21% to $1,614.39, SK Hynix +4.64% to $182.99. Intel led them all, +7.67% to $108.80, on a second day of the SK Hynix foundry reports, which several outlets say is still not a deal. Wednesday the foundry rose 4% and memory sat still; Thursday memory caught up. Worth noting who said it. The 500% is a buyer describing what it now pays, not a seller reporting what it now earns. Same sentence, read as a cost complaint and as a bull case. Which is it?
