#2 In this week's set of disappointing quarterly reports from tech companies, Texas Instruments was the outlier, beating on all components of its report. Meanwhile, all the big chip makers are forecasting slower growth ahead. You hear basically no more talk of a "chip shortage" now, only a slowdown in demand.

Did they close out ALL of their positions in that company at a net loss? Or did they swap out a shorter timed options position and only report the loss, not the new or existing, longer positions which may gain net profit if the company gets a nice slice of the pie? Over time I have come to just assume that demokrats always tell lies with partial truth. Its the lawyer mindset so may of them have, Clintonesque!
