He's frustrated with it, up only 2% year to date, and he's slightly under water it. This ranks 28th of his 31 tech holdings. The company moves slowly and far less nimble than its peers who are doing much better. It was downgraded today.
Joe TerranovaThis is a conservative play in the tech market. It has a great franchise in the semi-conductor market. It is the king of the analog segment which is not as volatile on the pricing side. In the real world not everything is digital and analog chips are everywhere. Its chips manage power requirements, etc. as well as the micro-controls segment on the wireless side.

He would stratify the semiconductor market into 2 categories, digital and analog. In many cases, this company is the old analog style company, and in many cases, have a lot of chips that are very, very primitive in the economy, using them in lighting, baseboard heating, radios, TV, etc. Digital chips are used to power the Internet, and are obviously much more expensive chips. There has been increased penetration of semiconductor content in emerging markets, and it is going to be a continuing play moving forward. Any exposure to that category is good. Unfortunately, all technology stocks have run very hard in the last few years. He would like to see a bit of a roll over in the semiconductor market, which is when he would be looking to adding more money.
