Don't think we will blast off from here. Finally the trend has changed with business not being as bad as many thought. TECD will climb back slow and steady. Should see upper 20's in a few weeks. The mid teens presented a wonderful opportunity to accumilate this stock. I'm now loaded with TECD. If this baby hits 40 by years end it will make my port. really look good! Steve A

>>...it's almost impossible to time buying at the bottom... Ehmmm...I'd say it is hard but not impossible. If you'd followed my posts (as few as they were) you'd notice that I bought into the sell off at ~20 and identified the fair value of $28 but decided that the market dynamics dictate to sell into the bounce off ~25. I further said that the bottom was ~15. I am happy to report that I bought 1000 shares at 17 and another 2000 yesterday in anticipation of upside surprise. That the analysts called $28 (same as my analysis) their target price was just the gravy. In short, waking up to days like this makes me very happy (not to mention that my other big position, LSI also jumped 4 points today). Where to from here? If the market conditions improve we can expect low to mid 30 by Jul.~Aug. Otherwise, 25~28 is my take on it. I don't expect a rapid ascent, so selling covered calls may be a good strategy if you intend to hold for the whole ride. BTW, if you are interested in what my crystal ball shows for the future, read the Art of Investing thread.
