Ray I feel if your holding time is over five years, then you should hold your money in cash until the next recession. Then buy good companies for the long term. Over the last 65 years the stock market has returned about 9% YES! Over the last few years the return has been much greater, but that is history and not the future ! Larry Dudash

Ray, My thoughts exactly. People are too worried about short term movements in the stock price. Who cares if TXN is sitting at $40 or $60 next week or next month? If one believes in the current corporate strategy of leading the market in digital signal processing and that this market has significant growth potential then it would be wise to buy and hold. My strategy is to hold my significant amount of TXN shares which is the majority of my 401K account for the next 5 to 10 years. In my opininion it will outperform the market, but not without alot of volatile movements along the way. Good Luck, JP
