POST:

Here at M&P's investments we strive to bring our clients the best long term investments where they can feel that their money is doing its best working for them. Today I will be presenting a company that we here at M&P are recommending our top clients to invest in for the long term.

The stock that we are referring to is a company by the name of Texas Instruments. They are a tech company based out of Dallas, Texas. They are one of the leaders in producing semiconductors and various integrated circuits and then selling them to electronic manufacturers and designers.

We believe strongly in the continue success of this company. In today's growing tech world many more of the modern machines rely heavily on chips and semiconductors to process. With the potential for wars in Taiwan one of the main chip producing companies will fall victim to destruction at the hands of a Chinese attack. This would eliminate one of the main chip producers in the entire world which would increase the need for manufacturers to look towards T.I. to produce more.

Below is a diagram showing the current state in which Texas Instruments stock sits and also includes their past year's range.
