Wow, a close of 57. Just when it looked like the market was leaving TXN behind on what i said was light volume, the stock took off till the close on heavy volume. A great company that could be the the next Intel of DSPs. And they are well-positioned (IMO) to be just that. Even if they don't get out of the DRAM biz, the price cycle on memory chips could change in a more favourable way. GO TI.

Watch the sizzling stock in coming days when the company is expected to unveil another revenue-generating deal. AOL and long-distance carrier GTE Corp. (NYSE, GTE) are expected to announce a high-speed Internet access service in five cities for $50 a month, according to an analyst who watches the companies. The service, known as digital subscriber line, or DSL, transforms plain old telephone lines into high-capacity data lines and for several years has been one of the great unfulfilled promises of the telephone industry. DSL service can cost as much as $150 a month. That will make the offering look like a bargain for customers in San Francisco, Phoenix, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Birmingham, Ala., according to the analyst. Representatives for AOL and GTE declined to comment.>>>>
