Intel stock is falling today amid concerns that the company might not get funding ... After all, Stock Advisor’s total average return is 879% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 176% for the S&P 500.*

Intel's removal from the Dow doesn't really impact the business, but it will lead exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the Dow to sell the stock when the Dow makes the switch on Nov. 8. That's not as significant as being removed from the S&P 500 since not as many ETFs follow the Dow, but it still leads to greater supply and less demand.

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock is seeing significant gains in Wednesday's trading. The semiconductor company's share price was up 3.5% as of 2:15 p.m. ET and had been up as much as 3.8% earlier in the daily sessions.
