Cramer's Lightning Round - Citigroup: Geithner Is a Seller, I'm a Buyer (7/29/10) by: SA Editor Miriam Metzinger July 30, 2010 | about: C / CIEN / MSFT / SHW / TEVA Font .
Bullish Calls Citigroup (C): "Yes! Yeah, Tim Geithner (Treasury Secretary) is a seller... I'm a buyer! Treasury's been unloading stock... and the stock doesn't go down. What does that tell you? And Vikram Pandit... I think is doing a dynamite job."
Ciena (CIEN): "Yes! Everybody hates it. We're going to bring that CEO on. It's got a multi-year story. It's all about the voice network going to the... the terrestrial thing going to the cellular... you could call it the bandwidth explosion. Ciena's fine! It doesn't go down on the bad days, it'll go up on the good days."
Teva (TEVA): "Everyday... this is the worst-acting stock that I've ever seen, and it didn't destroy wildlife in the Louisiana/Gulf of Mexico area. Now, here's what I think... I think that Teva is... I saw it, told people... I think it's wildly overdone. It's had $6 billion in market cap lost off of a drug that's going to do $2 billion in 2014. So I'm going to tell you Teva's a buy, and tomorrow, I'm going to have to take my pants down and shoot myself because I said it. But you know what? I'll take my pants down, and I'll shoot myself."
Sherwin-Williams (SHW): "I like Sherwin-Williams...it's a growth stock."
Bearish Calls: Microsoft (MSFT): "Jeez, neither here nor there...I'm not interested in Microsoft; I'm not going to recommend it. I'm going to say strictly, 'don't buy'... and strike."

well I definitely got back into this thing way too early. Has no desire to want to push up, even with that huge day on monday. Looks like my $14 calls are probably going to end up worthless. Really didn't think that rally would stall this hard.

As of 4:00 PM ET 8/10/10 Ciena(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN), the network specialist, today announced that FORATEC, a leading Russian telecommunication operator, chose the CN 4200(R) FlexSelect(R) Advanced Services Platform for an optical transport network build-out in the country's Urals region.

FORATEC's extensive optical network covers Russia's Urals Federal District and offers a comprehensive range of telecommunication services -- including traditional telephony, Voice over IP (VoIP), broadband services, data center connectivity and others -- to consumers and businesses alike.

The new deployment is based on Ciena's CN 4200, equipped with software-programmable interface modules to support multiple services on a single wavelength and remote configurability for greater transport efficiency as service demands evolve over time.
"This network upgrade project was an important step for FORATEC, as we've implemented a solid foundation for the delivery of next-generation services and applications," said Natalia Volkova, CTO at FORATEC. "With the help of Ciena and Jet Infosystems, we have improved the functionality of the network and created a resilient infrastructure with complete reconfigurablity that allows us to adapt as our business needs evolve."
"Our joint project with FORATEC is a great example of the continued success of our transport portfolio in Europe," said Sergei Fishkin, regional managing director for Russia, CIS and the Baltic states at Ciena. "We continue to team with leading partners worldwide that have the necessary practical experience in network design and service capabilities that Ciena's discerning customers expect. Jet Infosystems is precisely that kind of partner for our Russian operation."
"Building a flexible network infrastructure that can grow organically as needs evolve is an imperative for network operators as they consistently seek out cost-efficiencies in their business while remaining competitive in the marketplace," added Alexey Dogaev, head of networking solutions development center at Jet Infosystems. "Our new partnership with Ciena enhances our ability to deliver on those requirements for our customers in the region."

My opinion is this:
The entire big board market is going to test the previous lows from last year, and trade in low ranges for the next 4 or so years, due to hyperinflation of the US dollar. The market is trending just as it did during the depression era of the late 20's-early 30's. Check the chart posted on the Investing thread for anyone that hasn't seen it yet.
We are in for some rough roads ahead for the next decade when it comes to high share prices. There is still money to be made in the market, just wait for the next dip to buy, or start shorting these big boards on the way back down, then buy back.
Keep an eye on short volume for a few stocks and see if it increases over the coming months. That is your marker during these times, also follow the chart I mentioned, it has been a spot on marker for me through the current economic climate.

As of 10:25 AM ET 8/23/10 Citigroup added telecom equipment maker Oclaro (NASDAQ:OCLR) to its "Top Picks Live!" list as the firm believes that the company's shares, which are down 23% since the solid July 29th earnings report, are largely due to fears related to Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and order trends. Citi says that Cisco is at most 5% of Oclaro's revenue and their checks suggest solid demand. Citi also said it sees several near-term catalysts.
Citi also sees potential outperformance in the optical networking space and has raised estimates for JDS Uniphase (NASDAQ:JDSU) and reiterated its "Buy" rating on shares of Ciena (NASDAQ:CIEN).
SmarTrend alerted subscribers to take profits in Ciena on May 07, 2010 at $16.38, since then the stock fell 24.5%. We are now watching for any positive developments that could result in a new uptrend signal.

Came in the year at about $16. The integration of the Nortel assets was the head wind. That’s now confirmed that its going extremely well. Based on the chart, I see the next stop is $16.50. Then well above $18.

The call volume has been unreal over the past 3 days. I know its above the 50 and 200, but there may be something else brewing. They have a ton of cash, and the Nortel networks acquisition is going smoothly. They are now a huge takeout target with that headwind out of the way.
