Have owned NATI for over a year and have watched it thoroughly underperform Mr. Market during this time. Further, I don't see this drag on my portfolio's performance changing anytime soon. Holding (albeit somewhat impatiently) at this point but not very confident in its turnaround. Don't know what I'm missing - a very high percentage of CAPS members weighing in on the stock are high on it - but I'm unimpressed at this point.

The stock is at a low price, and the revenue and earnings have been growing fast over the last couple of years. The share price also tends to consistantly rise faster than the S&P.

Nat is in a highly cyclical industry, so I expect major ups and downs over the next 5 years. But, they are the best in the business in cost, R&D leadership, and sales and marketing. Over time they will only go up.

Recovering well from the recession, but its potential is not yet fully valued.

NATI will benefit from post-recession from retooling and refurbing.

Forward PE of 30x on 2010's earnings, coming down from 45x today?! If Sales are only growing 10%, then earnings growth will not pickup substantially enough to drive the forecasted PE lower from 30x, especially when historical PE is much lower. They need to substantially increase earnings to justify their valuation.

NI is strong, well managed, with smart people and little internal politics. Employees believe and contribute in the company's success.

Everything you need for research. Seems likely to benefit from investments for the future, although could be slow short-term.

All the other tech companies need what NATI has to offer. They will all go up together when the economy is better.

I'm putting my money where the Motley Fool's mouth is. Maybe it's blind faith in the ability of a couple of guys who look cool in jester's hats.
My experience at investing is limited to losing money at investing, so I figured the time is right to let greater fools than I lead the way.
Today I sold off most my unfoolish investments (for an overall modest gain) and started a $10k portfolio of totally foolish Stock Advisor stocks.
Bought today:
CTAS 50 @ 23.79
OMTR 100 @ 9.17
LLTC 50 @ 24.28
NATI 50 @ 21.35
FO 50 @ 37.86
Still in Portfolio:
DOW 190 @ 15.86 (not a Stock Advisor pick)
ATVI 100 @ 9.10
Blind faith and a slow learning curve. We'll see how it works out.
