Looks like we have started the trip up!

Sentiment: Buy

You know RMBS will be paying legal costs for both MU and Hynix. RMBS will be owned by them.

XQ

In my HO, the key to MU success is to do the Elipida deal and start producing the right kind of chips that are in high demand from their factories. Chip demand will increase and so will revenues. As MU starts to generate positive income growth and acquires more business from other companies the EPS will grow and so will the P/E. Just take a look at QCOM and we may be looking at the future of MU. I also believe that Hynix and MU will somehow do a JV or merge and AAPL will shift more orders to MU in fear of Samsung. MU and Hynix were pretty chummy at the RMBS trials. MU's SSD division should start to produce a greater return

XQ

Now this is going to be JMHO. I believe that we will see MU in the $16 range in 10 months with a PE of 11. I also believe that MU and Hynix will strike up some kind of merger or partnership within 14 months. Then I believe that MU will grow earnings at a faster pace and in 5 years sport a PE of around 16 and earnings of around $3.50 per share. I also believe that growth will also come from other products as well and could push up earnings well above the $3.50 level.

The pull back Friday was due to options expiration and nothing else.

Sentiment: Buy

Well that is a bold move; however the current pain prediction price for JAN 2014 is $500. Granted that could change. If I was in your position, I would be selling put options in the low $300 range for JAN 2015.

XQ

The problem with your thesis is that you are speculating. APPL products are turning into a commodity. Competitors are including the same features in their phones at a lower cost. As far as the $137 billion of cash and cash equivalents goes; most of that is in securities that are paying a return greater then the banks. Did you ever consider that APPL is waiting for the stock to drop further before buying? Just some thoughts.

XQ

Here we are today 03/11/2013 and MU has slipped above that $9 level. Now lets see if it will trade up to the next level of resistance in the $11.50 area. I believe that the upward move is beginning to take hold and will continue for quite some time. That does not mean that we will not have some bad days. Over all I think that the trend will now be up. I think MU and Hynix may at some point join forces.

XQ

RMBS will be selling itself to MU to pay its legal fees!

XQ

You are right; but the price was lower and now there is hesitation in the price. YHOO is also overbought and the options seem to indicate a pull back to $21 within a week. Is YHOO buying back stock at this price? I doubt it. I would not be surprised if this slipped back to $18 level in a month.

XQ

WHAT MARKET? AAPL products are fast becoming a commodity.
All the other smartphones look and act like the AAPL counterparts.
When you buy a AAPL product; you are buying the name and the trademark on the product.

XQ

Let me add one other thought. Never trust the GS, MS, Barclays, and other big time investment banks/advisers of the world!!!! They are working for their clients and their own accounts. They manipulate both stock and option prices. Never be a buyer of call or put options as 95% will end up losing their money. So, that means 95% of call and put option sellers (writers) are on the winning side of their trades. I have about 7 other trading rules that help to determine how and when to do a trade.

XQ

I am not short. I am long the stock and have sold 25 JAN 2015 call option contracts. I am looking for YHOO to pull back to $20 within two weeks and $18 in 6 weeks.

XQ

Why would YHOO waste shareholder money at these prices? When they will get a better opportunity at lower prices. As of today my projected price based on call and put options is $20 for March and $18 for April. Now I know that you may think that it will not work; but after I discovered a way to calculate this price, I have been able to transact about 500 trades with no losses.

XQ

Almost every Asian asset is subject to overvaluation speculation. Go find the hard documents that show in black and white the actual value of any Asian company. That is why investing in most Asian stocks is so risky.
If you are not buying into a managed diversified fund or ETF of Asian securities, you will probably lose money.

Didn't the head of Alibaba get caught transferring some assets to another company that he owned? Sure did!
This flash rally in YHOO can quickly turn into a flash crash.

XQ

I doubt that it is a bottom. Phones have now become a commodity. Samsung, HTC and others are all packing features in there smart phones and are selling them at lower prices. AAPL will be forced to compete in a lower cost market, which will not be good for the bottom line. Remember Motorola? They failed to innovate and fell behind. Even if AAPL comes out with a new product the competition will be all over it in just a few months.
