waiting for this cyclical stock to come back, it will hit 20 bucks once the demand gets back in tune.

Upthumb. Negative growth rate, large debt to equity. Highly competitive industry. But is strongly reducing expenses. Huge debt load though.

National semi is making the transition from being "old tech" to "new tech" by developing chips that make solar panels more efficient. As of their latest conference call in June, they already have several products in field trials with several solar panel companies.

nsm has been moving from low cost low margin standard analog ics to higher performance and upping margins from the 50s to mid to high 60s. New products are even higher margins so average may hit 70s.
product mix is also improving across the analog and mix signal board.
NSM seems to be turning itself around.

Long term growth has to come from newer and better products and designs. The company is exceptional at managing their costs and showing excellent margins, but there are no signs of top-line growth. There is a limit to how much the profits can be squeezed with the same revenue base. NSM's revenue has basically been at approximately 2 billion for many years. Ultimately, unless there is a massive revamp of the product offerings giving higher overall revenues, the growth story will be stunted.
