About market, stage is all set for ECB President Mario Draghi to deliver, i am hopeful that his details should impress world markets. IF there is EUPHORIA, do not forget to book profit. After euphoria there may be a long digestive phase.

Looked @ AAPL, BIDU...but went for LEN..all on technicals......

Hey Saleem,
Got OCZ at 3.98. It may not do much for now, but I think the downside is extremely limited.

06:51 EDT STX Seagate downgraded to Hold from Strong Buy at Needham
MARKET TALK: Weak Demand Weighing on Hard-Drive Firms -Needham
Last update: 9/6/2012 10:08:58 AM
10:08 EDT - OCZ's bombshell about a supply shortage of NAND flash memory has led Needham to downgrade the data-storage company to hold as the investment bank says conditions in the broader hard-disk-drive space "have not materialized to even the low levels anticipated" in July. Citing headwinds from weak demand in Europe and weakening in China, plus lackluster demand for Ultrabook notebooks and the potential for a lower-than-expected bump from Windows 8, Needham also cut HDD maker Seagate (STX) to hold and lowered its price target on Western Digital (WDC) to $53 from $61. As OCZ slumps 21% and hits a 21-month low, STX drops 4.1% amid today's market rally and WDC is flat at $41.84.

Hi Stocktrader,
Thank you so much on STX downgrade.
I am thinking of buying a small exposure in OCZ......
Saleem
Hey Saleem,
OCZ seems like a good value even at these low 4s levels, but it might be slow for a while until one of the catalysts develop. I still find it very important they aren't needing cash any time soon--that removes one of the big negatives in the stock in my opinion.
Besides that, the only way OCZ isn't worth $4 is if the company is lying about the demand/backlog, but that seems highly unlikely given how many times they were asked and talked about it (although didn't provide the exact number, just that it was a large increase over last quarter--their Q just ended and they were counting still). Their full earnings report in early October will showcase those numbers in more detail and may be the catalyst for upside.
Good luck with your decision either way :).

Saleem
Hey c,
I was lucky to pick up a housing play in GGC while it was down earlier. It has the added bonus of a natural gas input which I hope drives earnings also.
Stocktrader
Hey Saleem,
Here's an article from Yahoo! about options activity on OCZ today:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ocz-technology-still-play-170425872.html
Pretty much in line with some of my thinking although I certainly can't be sure enough on timing to go with these guys. I'll just take the stock and wait :).
Stocktrader
Hi Stocktrader,
You do your dd with every stock, which is the proper way to invest or trade......
I read that story about option activity....OCZ is a very interesting speculative play for me....
