And the news we have been waiting for (SIRI)

Remember the hype on Sirius radio, how it was supposed to double in
price b/c of the merger talks with XM. Well it is one-step closer, and
this might just have been the biggest step needed to finalize the
deal...

ReneSola IBD #5

If you were paying attention a few months ago I mentioned this stock SOL
at its IPO. Unfortunately I dropped the bubble on tracking it as I was
preparing to buy Visa and like most people spending my time researching
its potential.

So SOL is now up almost 400% in a few short months. How far can it go,
another First Solar (FSLR)? I am not sure but I am starting to spend
more time researching it. Currently it is in very good favor as it is
IBD's #5 pick in the IBD top 100. It recently secured a five year
contract for polysilicon which is required to make solar wafers. This
has always been a sticking point in the "raw materials" required for
solar stocks. Their earnings were amazing and I did try to put a limit
in for 23.30 but my block never got touched and it has been driving
higher since. I am looking at this from a LONG perspective and will
keep watching to see what the next buy point might be.

Rackspace Files for IPO

I remember when Rackspace moved into its new facility on the northwest side of town.  Huge warehouse, cheap rent.  This is another one of those companies “I grew up with” like VMWare.  I will be watching this one, as usual, rather closely.
