Folks:
I know this is off topic but as a long suffering Intel investor the idea of an Intel and Qualcomm merger kind’a makes sense. From someone who owns both, underwater on Intel and above it with Qualcomm, the idea has got me wondering! I do however have concerns about the national security implications of this merger.

Folks:
While I am on a roll and promise this is the last Saturday AM post!
From those that don’t live in IT land here is some interesting news that has ramifications all over the place:
“VMware customers report massive price increases since Broadcom takeover: ‘Feels quite a bit like being held for ransom'” see: https://www.businessinsider.com/vmware-customers-report-massive-price-increases-since-broadcom-deal-2024-8
I know one corp that is seeing a 10X price increase of VMWare renewals after the sale of VMWare to Broadcom and is actively looking for alternatives and/or planning to “de-virtualizing”. The same thing happened after Broadcom’s acquisition of Symantec however in that case alternatives existed. This also has massive implications for Intel as they make most server hardware.

Wow! I am struck by the difference between the cautious Rick and bullish Joseph. Very good balance of views. My gut is saying that Rick is right and also the miners are a mess but only time will tell. However, Joseph has some good points too –
