< I see short term growth will be limited, long term perspective is still good. So, $30 area will be attractive again..>> Agreed. On the UP side, the DSP market is expected will to grow 35-40% over the next few years. On the CAUTION side (as has been discussed here previously), FPGAs need to be kept an eye on: "Xilinx Introduces Fully Programmable Alternative to System-Level ASIC Design" from biz.yahoo.com Earlier press: "..Signal processing is one of the first areas Xilinx will target. Xilinx said its XC4085XL, for example, can perform 5 billion multiply-accumulate operations in a second, 10 times faster than a Texas Instruments 320C6x.

I am having a problem even relating to $30 area for Ti stock.Maybe you could spell out the sequence of events that would drive the stock down to $30 that you see in the future. Like what earnings in 4qtr and what level for the NAS and DJ. The cost of Engineers is important but the leverage on yield and new products is great so I do not these expenses will break the profits ---the problem will be can they hire engineers. Please give it some thought and tell us what you see that drives the stock to 30$
