NEW IDEA ON CIEN

May 31, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert CIEN provides optical networking systems. Our research has shown that phone carriers are likely to increase spending on optical networks in second half of the year. We have been waiting for the earnings release to issue a buy recommendation.

Buy zone: $11.40 to $12.50 Target zone: $19 to $20 Stop zone: temporarily no stop The best way to control risk is to initiate only a 10% tranche right

WHAT APPLE-FACEBOOK WHAC-A-MOLE ACTION MEANS FOR BOTH STOCKS

May 24, 2012

An interesting see-saw price action has developed between shares of Apple (AAPL) andFacebook (FB). When Facebook stock goes down, Apple stock goes up and vice versa. Going into the Facebook IPO, it made sense that investors were selling Apple stock to raise money to buy Facebook shares, but when Facebook did not open as high as some had hoped for, investors started selling Facebook and putting money back into Apple.

NEW IDEA ON MAKO SURGICAL CORP (MAKO)

May 23, 2012

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert MAKO Surgical Corp (MAKO) markets its advanced robotic arm solution and orthopedic implants for orthopedic procedures. The stock has been depressed after reporting earnings that did not meet Wall Streets expectations. The big down swing in MAKO is a buying opportunity. Use of robotics in surgery will continue to grow and this company is perfectly situated. Please note that like most young companies in the surgical robotics field this is a speculative stock with high risk of loss but also potential of high rewards. Due to the speculative nature of the
