Will go with TSRA (Long) this week. Insiders are buying. May be set to recover from a large sell-off.
Tessera Technologies, Inc., through its subsidiaries, develops, licenses, and delivers miniaturization technologies and products for electronic devices worldwide. The company operates in two segments, Intellectual Property and DigitalOptics. The Intellectual Property segment offers semiconductor packaging technologies, which create mechanical and electrical connection between semiconductor chips and systems, such as computers and communication equipments through connection to printed circuit boards. The DigitalOptics segment designs and manufactures imaging systems for smartphones, including autofocus camera modules and lens barrels; micro-optic lenses, such as diffractive and refractive optical elements, and integrated micro-optical subassemblies; and fixed focus camera modules. This segment also provides software solutions for mobile imaging comprising FaceTools, which provide face-oriented imaging technology; Face Beautification that allows users to enhance portraits; High Dynamic Range, which enables users to capture images in the presence of a range of lighting conditions; Panorama that enables users to create panoramic images; and Image Stabilization, which corrects for motion blur and shake induced during video capture. The DigitalOptics segment serves customers in digital still cameras and smartphones markets, as well as semiconductor lithography, high-end communication routers, military and defense, and barcode scanners markets.
Now I hope this is not another bear week.  |

Kadee, check these numbers to see how bearish the overall market is:
NYSE advances today 592
declines today 2541
But this one shows how serious this decline has become:
NYSE 52 wk. highs 17
52 wk. lows 480
& it surprised me, not one of us picked a short this week.
It's 5:30am here in Texas; anyone up yet?

Thanks, everyone, I have been on a long losing streak, so I decided to try a food group company this week.
I did not expect that big of a gain for them.
I figured something like maybe 8%, 9% at the best.
If it didn't go south!
With the market as wonky as it was this week, it was pure luck.
