  • Docoof: Some Building and Construction Products/Materials stocks that made new 1-yr highs on Friday: $CRH $SUM $BECN $DOOR $EXP $BLD $FBIN $MAS $FBIN $VMC $MLM $IBP $OC $TGLS $CNM $AMWD $AZEK $USLM $NX $SSD $LPX $BCC $PGTI $MWA $ATKR $BLDR $BXC (Many noted by champ, woodman, et al.)
  • C.K.: $FIO - not sure if anyone is long $FIO, but now Lazard cut estimates, and $OCZ is gaining strength on speculation surrounding upcoming $FB presentation at CES; people believe $FB will look for another $SSD vendor other than $FIO (Source: Briefing.com). Personally I think $FIO could touch triple bottom price $17.77 of 8/2/12. The 20D and 50D $MA are weak. $FIO just could not break resistance $24.50 - $25.00 the last three times the price touched those levels. Not #shorting since it is too late. I did sell long position the other day for a loss (oops!)
  • rczar: $SSD @fhsavidge.......As long as don't make over $1010 a month, I am O.K....I can work about 32 hours a week.
  • moneytaker: The system is not real time. I just get the downloads at night sadly. My system has 4 hard drives and a couple of $SSD and 16gb memory. I have written programs that run for 5hours at night that provide me with a pick list of stocks for the next trading day. Someday I will add a real time interface.
  • ND: FIO: I am not in, but watching.... on the weekly timeframe, I don't see it breakout. However, on the daily, it did jump from $20 to 29 now. Don't want to get in seeing the weekly chart. But if it break through the $30 level, maybe interesting then. Or it will hit $25-26 before breaking $30? Also, @Dan discussion about his IPO strategy is that it is better to purchase after the stock clear the previous highs, that is $33 on IPO and $40 of the recent high.... I think $SSD are the storage future, so I want in but I am just watching on this for now due to the reason from the weekly chart.
  • eTradeBaby: $FIO, good that has been taken to the wood shed of late. Not that it was not warrneted, traders got a little giddy over it. Something over the years I've picked up, is don't fall in love with story stocks that tout around employees, such as WOZ at FIO. I've discussed this with other networkers pros and also the $SSD market and they are like, dude, so many players are in that space - it's a pass.
  • jojo1480: FIO- Petert, been out on the course today, I trade this around a core position (30-40%) and trade the short #squeeze. In the longer term, I believe the transition to $SSD will happen, currently used in Facebook and $AAPL servers. Long.
  • Eptake5: $FIO Seems like this stock is getting ready to pop upwards and just think of this stock as one of the leaders in $SSD which are Solid State Drives. You may enjoy this article on $FIO http://tinyurl.com/82j2pzo good luck! And here is a link to its basic chart, http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=fio Hwy may find my chart so drab he might chart his interpretation!
  • eTradeBaby: $FIO, Eptaek, it had a nice two days, if long I'd hold, too hard to buy after those moves. $OCZ the sister stock in $SSD, looks like a better entry. I think $FIO is also a $AAPL derivative, so $FIO move maybe due to that action and not the $OCZ biz so much. I've soured on $SSD after talking with a techie, he said the market is becoming over-supplied.
  • jojo1480: FIO- nothing but long vs shorts, that is all there is now. Longer term $SSD is the place to be for servers and data. Long stock and calls/spreads.
  • jojo1480: FIO- lclarkc, don' t know if they are front running the stock. I discussed $FIO for a while, and why I believe in $SSD technology. I asked $EE guys if this is truly the next level, so far had a single response within the forum several mos. ago.
  • DavidM: $FIO JoJo I am in $IT, although in an operations role and, unlike in past years, not spending much time these days studying up on new technology for procurement. Without looking specifically at FIO's product line but having worked a bit with imple ...
  • jojo1480: FIO- I have read a lot re $SSD, i am not an $EE guy so the specifics are over my head. I think there is a fundamental shift in the use of $SSD technology. The same logic I applied to $WPRT (am long $WPRT CLNE), and in recent headlines $NAV is going t ...
  • jojo1480: FIO- @dfaz, take the common. Maybe double bottom will hold, otherwise looking @mid teens. Unless $S Wozniak is blowing smoke, $SSD is the way to go. Long term hold, have been long puts when it was going doing, and sold them yesterday before the short shortlived rally. edit- bought puts
  • jojo1480: STEC- joanie, was reading in Baron' s that $OCZ (FIO in the same space) is taking market share from them. $OCZ is a year old IPO, $SSD storage manufacturer, % of float shorted is ~1.5%, Mkt cap $367M, and insiders have been selling. Looking for an entry into OCZ. Position long FIO
  • R8RH8R: $INTC - If you like Intel a drop in the price may be a buying opportunity. The warning is due to hard disk drive supply shortages caused by the flooding in Thailand that impacted the Hard Disk Drive industry. Shipments of HDDs are down 33% because of the disastrous floods. It may take a few quarters before supplies recover to pre-flood levels but the shortage may accelerate the transition to $SSD and single platter drive technologies.

  • futurepants: $FIO - I am an $EE guy and $SSD is the way of the future, hands down, no contest, and any other cliche you want to add :) It's also gotten much more affordable (apple pricing is always a rip off... don't look there for comparisons). That said, I defer 100% to the price action and since it's back to the $35.50 "@DAN" IPO breakout level, seemingly finding support at the 20. I'm in long very, very small, and will be out if $35 is violated. -fp
  • futurepants: $FIO - jojo, yeah... $TDC and I have a bit of a bad history and that chart looks kinda scary. My long term thesis about $SSD has nothing to do with how I trade, and this market puts me in no mood to invest, so I'm keeping it very small and very technical :) -fp
  • georgercarrjr: ...
    $SSD is "a" wave of the future. With a better chance than solar panels or wind mills. But it is still not a major part of the storage market today. Will it grow? Definitely. Is there competition. YES! Are there other disruptive technologies that cou ...
  • gold2stocks: $SNDK - @jojo - Have to agree with you here. Even though they get a downgrade this morning probably accounting for some of the 6% I happen to believe the reasoning of their leverage to $SSD is $PLUS and not a negative. It would affect Western Dig/Seagate mechs way more than SNDK. They are not going to be locked up with a plethora of old inventory as the $SSD is a much more fluid product. Just my 2 cents....G2S
  • wachholder: $OCZ, some statement on their raised guidance today From $OCZ PR In addition to the record quarterly and full year revenue expectations, the Company's $SSD products for fiscal fourth quarter are expected to be approximately $58 million compared to $12.1 million during the same period last year, and $41.5 million in the Company's third quarter ending November 30, 2010. This represents approximate increases of 380% year over year and 40% sequentially. The expected Q4 $SSD product mix of approximately 7% Consumer, 78% Server, and 15% Enterprise is generally consistent with prior quarters
  • NETPROPHET: $MU appears it may be catching its breath after nudging up from Monday's slip. Have been studying the $SSD (solid state drive) makers, looking for a way to manage risk to net some profits. Micron has some compelling technologies.
  • wachholder: Watch Lists, $CTRP, $OCZ, $CX, DDIC With the bears snarling a bit, putting together a watch list is keeping me out of trouble. I brought up an old fave $CTRP and it is actually at a decent buy point right now with an easy exit plan. On the daily it moved positively off the 200-day, on Dec 14, it looks like we had some extreme selling, so maybe a lot of "I want my money back" crowd got sucked out. Anyway $CTRP is on my list. $OCZ is holding up well, this does not look like a good entry. Going forward, this company looks solid and is known for their $SSD market, which according to some techies, are the best of breed. DDIC is also exhibited some strength on the 50-day (daily), another fundemenally strong company. Currently consolidating $CX is showing some support off 50-day (daily)
  • wachholder: $OCZ, small cap $SSD maker. Some positive action today off good volume for intraday. Yesterday it almost looked toppy, but today appears to confirming the uptrend and vol expansion. It may feel like chasing buying here, but I really think it still a good trade taking a small starter position to get involved. Fundamentals are improving for this company as they just inked a huge LT contract recently. good trading wachholder

  • jrsands: $MRVL - Been down over the last few months but reported earnings Aug 19 in line and stock jumped on forecast. Big player in $SSD controllers used by pretty much by everybody. Has won numerous design contracts in the Chinese smartphone market (read growth market) that will roll into production during the first half of 2011. Showing up big today - up over 2% now after bouncing right off its 20dma this AM.

  • deciphersue: $STEC "30% undervalued according to value engine" Would the fact that $STEC is being sued for failing to disclose (1) that the company over sold its largest customer more inventory than it required, (2) overstated the demand for its ZeusIOPS $SSD products, and (3)that subsequent revenue and financial results for the following year would be negatively impacted throw off the value engine readings? At the time of the drop, on another subscription website, the story was that some Saudi periodically sells off, waits for a drop and buys it again! Would you believe I fell for it? How else would I know?
  • JamesLutfy: I really don't understand selling a put worth .14 cents no matter how out of the money it is. What if you wake up tomorrow and find out some horrid news? You are taking on a lot of risk for almost nothing. The only good thing is they do not have earnings in the Feburary #options cycle. If you don't know the fundamentals of the company, you should look into it, because they are pretty bad if you ask me. $EMC is there only customer, and who knows if $EMC is taking more orders from them as compared to last quarter. Who knows how long it will be before another competitor comes out with the same $SSD technology. Once again, taking all that risk for .14 cents.
  • fjr_fjr: Stec it went from 4-42 in less tha year.When it was at 42 earlier there was an article on $SSD from I believe Barron's.It was a negative article.Short time later an analyst from Wedbush had negative comments on the stock saying more competition was coming.The stock dropped from 42 to around 30 in a couple of days. I would wait to buy after #options expire.They have a lot of retail along with institutional investors both long and short in the stock.If you want more info,go to the Yahoo message board on stec.There are a ton of messages there.Pumpers and Dumpers alike.
  • taylor: $STEC - Micron technology releases a competing product. Micron confirms the release of RealSSD C300 Solid-State Drive Co confirms its RealSSD C300 $SSD, for notebook and desktop PCs. Co says The RealSSD C300 drive is the first to leverage the SATA 6Gb/s interface, providing read speeds of up to 355 megabytes per second and write speeds of up to 215MB/s. The drives will be available in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors, with both drives supporting 128GB and 256GB capacities. Micron is currently sampling the C300 $SSD in limited quantities and expects to enter production in the first quarter of calendar 2010.
  • CallaLilly: $STEC - which lawsuit? I think there are three. Not sure ... it will get covered tomorrow, I'm sure. It's just a stock for small trades now; some mornings it makes the list of pre-market top five gainers and sometimes the loser list. I think this is relevant ... the stock will remain range-bound until more information emerges about $SSD integration ramps, STEC's competition, and SLC NAND pricing in 2010. And this is relevant ... Needham finds shares of $STEC compelling following the sell-off on $EMC inventory overhang concerns. The firm continues to expect at least $2 in earnings power for 2010 and keeps a Strong Buy rataing on shares, despite lower its target price to $30 from $46.
  • JamesLutfy: I'm interested in the stock because it's projected growth was on steroids because of its solid state drive (SSD) technology. $SSD appears to be near revolutionary in terms of how it could change comp. technology - I am not a tech geek, so I can't giv ...
  • CallaLilly: $STEC - kind of an absurd downgrade ... $STEC Inc target lowered to $39 from $45 at Wedbush Wedbush lowered its target on $STEC after channel checks indicated the competitive landscape in SATA/SAS enterprise $SSD market is intensifying. The firm thinks added competition could pressure shares, but believes STEC's quarter is tracking better than expected. Shares remain Outperform rated. (absurd=stating that STEC's quarter is tracking better than expected) Long at 33.05 and I could be so wrong.
  • CallaLilly: $STEC - $STEC signs $120M supply agreement for ZeusIOPS SSDs, sees higher revenue $STEC announced that it has signed an agreement with one of its largest enterprise storage customers for sales of $120M of ZeusIOPS SSDs in the 2H09. $STEC believes that this agreement reflects the enterprise storage manufacturer's continued commitment to integrate STEC's $SSD technology into the manufacturer's systems and validates significant storage system performance improvements enabled by STEC's ZeusIOPS SSDs in these enterprise systems.With this agreement signed, $STEC now forecasts revenue from the sale of its ZeusIOPS drives will exceed $220M in 2009
