Four Worthwhile Semiconductor Stocks

I focus on gross margins, growth rates, debt/equity and market capitalization, as I've found them to be the best tools to evaluate semiconductor stocks. Of course I look at EPS, inventory issues, taxation [like the 60+% tax rate for Yahoo] too - while they could affect short-term ups and downs, I am confident that it is just these three metrics plus debt - that matter - when it comes to semiconductor stocks.
