| 0:00.0 | Turn to the stock story of the day, and that would be Intel. |
| 0:03.0 | Christina Parts and Evas watching the big move on top of an already big move that this stock has seen, Christina. |
| 0:09.3 | Yeah, big move up, what, 125% this year alone and really sitting at all-time highs just after yesterday's really strong quarter. |
| 0:16.5 | The U.S. government, I know a lot of people wondering, they bought a 10% stake just last August at $20 a share. |
| 0:22.5 | So that investment has nearly quadrupled on paper. The question, though, is whether this is a real |
| 0:28.1 | inflection point for Intel or whether the stock has just gotten ahead of itself. |
