This is uncanny. I overlaid a plot of TXN over a plot of GE. The TXN bar chart is colored red, the GE bar chart is colored black. The TXN price scale is on the left of the chart, and the GE price scale is on the right of the chart. As you see, I made them match, i.e. $20 on the GE price scale is right across from $20 on the TXN price scale and so-on for all prices. I didn't do any changing of proportion, just took the prices from the data without scaling. GE is a troubled company that has to roll over $100 billion in commercial paper every quarter, and which just had to raise $15 Billion in capital by diluting its stock and selling debt equity. $15 Billion is not going to solve a $100 Billion problem. TXN is a company without debt, and which, as far as we know, doesn't own any toxic debt, and which is funding its operations internally. While the GE chart reflects real problems, the TXN chart must be reflecting fears. Mr. Market thinks that the there is a horror story under the sheets at TXN. TXN earnings report coming up, and it's forecast are extremely important.
