3Com is also expanding in China and is taking share away from Cisco in the process

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan (Final)

Back on Track

For "Speculation Friday" Cramer returned to a stock he's hated for almost a decade, 3Com (COMS Quote). He said this forgotten network equipment supplier blew away the earnings estimates last quarter, and now demands a little attention.

Cramer said after years of underperforming competitors like rival Cisco (CSCO Quote), a stock which Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, 3Com is getting it's mojo back. He said at these levels, 3Com is cheaper than Cisco, and with the networking business on fire, the rising tide lifts all boats.

According to Cramer, 3Com has a lot going for it. Many data centers have put upgrades on hold this past year, a sign of pent-up demand for new equipment. There's also an increased need for bandwidth, said Cramer, as more people go mobile and watch video online. 3Com is a trade-down play, said Cramer, as many of the company's products are less expensive than their Cisco counterparts.

3Com is also expanding in China and is taking share away from Cisco in the process. The company has a great balance sheet, with $677 million in cash and only $200 million in debt, said Cramer. 3Com is also under covered by Wall Street, leaving lots of room for upgrades. Cramer said after years and years of disappointment, 3Com is once again attractive.

the future of flash is fast

the storage anarchist
a blog about advanced storage and technology, written from a unique viewpoint

the future of flash is fast
I had the honor yesterday of hosting an EMC Investor Relations "Tech Talk" webcast on the subject of Flash Drives and EMC FAST (Fully Automated Storage Tiering).
Although Chris Mellor scooped me with his second-hand coverage of the event (Chris leveraged a report put out by Aaron Rakers to customers of Stifel Nicolaus Equity Research for his story), I thought I'd share the session with my readers first-hand.
So, if you have an hour or so, pop over to the IR landing page on EMC.com and click the banner link to the recorded webcast (or go directly to the webcast hosting site). But take notice – this webcast will be available on-line only through October 21, 2009.
I also included the net result of the FAST demo that Chad Sakac presented at VMworld 2009 in yesterday's presentation. If you'd like to see the complete demonstration, it's available on YouTube here: More ...

司馬觀點:新內閣凶多吉少

司馬觀點:新內閣凶多吉少(江春男) | 頭條要聞 | 蘋果日報 | 20090909 | 壹蘋果網絡

吳敦義缺乏中央歷練,對財經、兩岸、科技、國際外交各方面的認識水平令人擔心,他精於幕後政治操作,但閣揆必須開大門走大路,過去那一套步數,政府部門沒有多少發揮餘地。與民進黨關係可能惡化,與立法院關係不會更好,雖然地方首長出任閣揆,對國民黨傳統是一種突破。但是,無論怎麼看,新內閣還是凶多吉少。

The magazine was co-founded by William E. Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur while they were students at Duke University. According to the mental_floss website, the idea came from conversations at the Duke cafeteria about the need for an educational magazine that was funny and entertaining [2].

司馬觀點:達賴 再會吧(江春男)

北京指控達賴要把大西藏從中國版圖分裂出去,這是含血噴人的文革手法。藏族所屬的自治區、自治州和自治縣,分布在三、四個省,其人口比小西藏多一倍以上,包括達賴老家在內,要達賴放棄大西藏,西藏不可能實行有意義的自治。
達賴不能訪問香港和新加坡,台灣是唯一可以讓漢人與藏人自由對話的華人社會。屈從北京意志,不讓達賴來訪,台灣有淪為第二個香港之虞,對北京更是愚不可及,因為達賴是西藏問題和平解決的最後機會。

蘋論:達賴彰顯兩岸差異

2009年09月04日蘋果日報
國際上的達賴現象,中國很難理解。國際歡迎達賴並非因為達賴反中,或要西藏脫離中國(事實上達賴從未要求獨立,只要求高度自治);而是因為他的智慧、人格特質和艱困處境下的平和態度。中國越是傾全國之力打壓一個笑嘻嘻的弱勢和尚,他越受到國際的同情和歡迎。台灣藏傳佛教的信徒非常多,他們也不是因為達賴反中才信仰他,而是相信他的修持、智慧和磁場能量。信眾們很多常去中國工作旅遊,但中國打壓達賴久了,尤其此次發生在台灣,這些人對中國的印象只會越來越糟;而國民黨和中共現在又綁在一起,也會連帶厭惡國民黨。這對國民黨和中國的利益會有傷害的。

來台灣參加災民祈福法會的中國宗教局長葉小文,一下飛機就以粗鄙和威脅口氣批評達賴。一副小匪幹的嘴臉,卻擺出上國姿態,實在令人反胃。
中共官員碰到台獨藏獨,必定疾言厲色,不稍假顏色,西藏黨委書記張慶黎曾把達賴形容為披著人皮外衣的野獸。這是文革時代最常用的手法,葉小文比張慶黎斯文多了,但也讓台灣人開了眼界。只要看他的嘴臉,就知道大陸是什麼樣的國家了。

中國已開始崛起,但一個缺乏宗教自由的大國,談不上真正的軟實力,各國都會對它保持距離,以策安全,隔海相望的台灣更必須保持清醒。
