Ally, that's a good question. Ahead of us we have poor 1Q reports and a 2Q that for most companies is probably worse than 1Q. Barring any other news I would expect these factors to deflate this rally... depending on how bad the news is we could see anywhere from a relatively minor retracement to new lows. Against this we have potential good news... inventories being absorbed, product demand picking up, as well as more Fed rate cuts. These things will happen but no one knows when... if they are known at the same time as the 1Q results and the 2Q prognosis, then the market may look past the bad news and the share price may hold. I I personally think that the near term will bring prices at least in the low 30's but TXN (along with AMAT and a few others) is one of those stocks that is perceived by big money as a place to be and will probably not be cheap for too long. In short a tough time to be timing the market (isn't any?). If you believe in the LT future of this company, these may be good times to average in. Lacking a crystal ball one must substitute brass!
