I sort of took the trump thing as a positive thing , a bit of bias towards them amongst the other chip stocks ? but also I wanted back in , fomo more than anything so after the news pump I got some on Wednesdays drop.
Tbh it's staying in the long term rather than messing about for a few quid although if news dries up who knows could be below $20 again

if that's then its probably paid some other way like 10bn of tax write offs or tax incentives spread across a number of years.
also trump says a lot of stuff that's untrue and we all know it.
INTC foundry will likely start getting government contracts in the near future I'd imagine.

Too big to fail now.
Yep, US government backing means it's basically immortal
I wonder though, with a 10% stake, what pressure the US government might put on the company to do things it might not have chosen to do otherwise... might not be great for intel, internationaly, in the long run?
For example they might get a bad rep like Huawei getting a rep for thier hardware/firmware being security compromised by the Chinese government?

Did Trump save Intel? Not really
What Intel needs is external customers for its 14A manufacturing process - a tough ask.

Not sure if this is the place for this question but I'm going to be semi retired in 2 years time and I want to de-risk a proportion of my SIPP portfolio which is currently weighted about 70% towards equities.
Looking at setting up a gilt ladder to fund the few years until I fully retire - talking a 7 year span here so should be sheltered from interest rate changes, as I understand it because I'll be holding them through to maturity and will recoup the price I paid. My understanding is that yields have risen due to interest rate rises over recent years (which I understand won't drop any more this year due to higher than expected inflation) and I can get a yield to maturity of 4.2% on a 2 year gilt, for example.
Doesn't seem a bad strategy to me because I'm really worried about a crash just about the time I want to start taking some money out.
Anyone experienced in this kind of thing?

You would have to go out to T31 gilts in order to get a yield of 4.2%. That's 6+ years.
Gilts look like a good way to de-risk a portfolio but it depends on what the rest of your investments are. I'm in a similar position but I have taken a slightly different approach.
I have approximately 70% in equities with the vast majority in global index funds.
I have about 25% in money market fund and 5% in UK gilts -TR27. The MMF has been yielding more than the gilts and I keep it as liquidity should I need to ride out a downturn or if I feel brave enough to buy a dip. I'm not yet in draw down but can be as of next year.
The downside of the bond ladder is that your capital is tied up in exchange for an almost guaranteed return.
Bond Yields
Global ETF tend to suffer less than say tech heavy indexes or US stocks in a crash. Yes you might dip 10-15% but the S&P500 might fall 30%. Personally I think there are other ways of hedging your portfolio risk vs a gilt ladder.

the 10% is just the subsidies though from what ive read, not anything additional
"Foreign governments may impose additional regulations on Intel due to US government ownership, the company warned in securities filings"
