No mortgages or outstanding loans. 700 credit, but bankruptcy 2014. My income is around 60k/yr before taxes. I am handy (I've renovated homes before) and I don't mind that this is like buying a job. The cash flow would allow me to purchase other properties. I think this is a good step for me, but I ask you guys. 2 simple question: your thoughts and what am I missing? Edit: This is why I love you guys! I saw all the upside but didn’t account for every risk. I’m reading every comment at least a couple of times and weighing the options. SBA originator said that even if the business has been active for over 20 years, me coming in with little to no experience, they treat it as a startup. They did say though I would be qualified initially. Yes, the price is too high for me to risk my money on this thing. I’m waiting for the books and tax returns as well. Right now, it’s a 60% no, 40% yes. If the price drops and I get details, it might sway me. Again, everyone, thanks for your feedback!| ASX Mining News & Discussion

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
