A company can't double every year.

Pretty soon MSFT will be worth the combined total of all DOW 30 stocks???? :-)

Elroy, scary but a possibilty. I don't think it happens until DSL happens, but then watch out. DSL is the next roadblock for the expansion of the Internet. The last two, for those who care, were the introduction of TCP/IP in Windows 95 and unlimited $20 Internet.

Matt

P.S. One might quibble about the actual doubling, though, because palm tops and embedded computers will probably ramp too slowly for a true annual double, at least this coming year.

This may have already been posted. From the ZDinvestor site RE: TI spending $750 million to upgrade facilities for Micron as part of their deal. Gee, how many lasers do they need?.... -Neal

Texas Instruments Inc.(TXN)

First, the good news: Texas Instruments is getting out of the memory chip business and can now concentrate on the high -performance microprocessors that made it one of the most prolific stocks of the past 10 years.

The bad news: They're going to invest $750 million of the $800 million they received for selling their memory business to Micron Technology Inc. (MU) for the development of Micron's technology throughout their business. This is especially bad in light of both the lousy worldwide chip market and the fact that they're investing in a company that lost $106 million this quarter.
