Nxp Semiconductors N.V. (NXPI)

[Santa Barbara Broker]

Most recently NXPI has been heavily touted at $78 to $80

on his show. Now that it is at $88 (as high as $89.97 if you count AH frenzy on the anticipated earnings/revenue beat tomorrow), looks like he called a 13% profit over a three week period. So where is his credit for that? NXPI is a LT hold...10 years from now is when the truly smart money will be able to brag. You don't get a chance to pick up a MSFT or an AAPL or an INTC in it's infancy but once or maybe twice in a lifetime and NXPI, even if it misses tomorrow and crashes back into the 70s, is one of those exceptionally rare occasions. I have no idea what Elon Musk is thinking, but you know he's going with either NVDA or NXPI for his new chipset platform. He might even be considering a buyout of one of the companies (NXPI is by far the cheapest) although I would see that of more of a distraction than a good M&A move for Tesla. Still when the Tesla announcement is made, figure the winning company is up 25% on the news. $114 will be a distant memory soon after that....
