According to Next Inning, programmable logic will outperform semis in general -- and I agree. Besides, these guys always make money!

Altera posted higher quarterly profit and revenue gave a forecast for its current second quarter that could top then-current analyst expectations. Altera (NasdaqGS: ALTR - News) recently reported revenues of $336 million in Q1:FY2008, exceeding analyst estimate of $326 million, mainly due to growth in sales of new products. Japan was the strongest market as sales grew 15% quarter-over-quarter and 19% year-over-year. EPS of $0.27 beat street consensus of $0.23. Gross margin dipped to 65.1% from 65.7% generated in the year-ago quarter but improved from 64.1% in the previous quarter.This company has no net debt (Total Cash (mrq): 994.63M .Total Debt (mrq): 350.00M).

We have tried occasionally to buy toads at bargain prices with results that have been chronicled in past reports. Clearly our kisses fell flat. We have done well with a couple of princes - but they were princes when purchased. At least our kisses didn't turn them into toads. And, finally, we have occasionally been quite successful in purchasing fractional interests in easily-identifiable princes at toad-like prices."- 1981 Chairman's Letters to Shareholders

When I graduated (from electrical engineering), Altera was everyone's dream company to work for. I believe quite strongly that if a company treats its employees well, then it will do well in the end.
This pick is down over 20% over the last 2 and a half months for me, but I've still got faith...

Upward trends have carried the return higher than the S&P. Should be at least six more months. No debt, not sensitive to the current rate swings.
