$Intel(INTC)$ There is too much event risk to short this stock after the 20th. The new administration solidly supports semi reshoring and they have a range of actions that can be implemented with the stroke of a pen. Tariffs are a big one, potentially resetting the value of domestic chip manufacturing. The President Elect does not support using taxpayer money for TSMC. The $6.6 billion initially awarded to TSMC could get redirected to Intel to help mature its 18A tech and accelerate its buildout. The administration could implement a "buy American" executive action requiring American made semis in all federal IT purchases - and the government buys a ton of IT Gear. A number of things with significant impact could happen with zero notice and even before Intel's ER. And the President Elect is said to have hundreds of new policies implemented on day 1. Who is willing to take that risk?
