Michron Technology
MU, long
Reports Tuesday, and is expected to match or beat estimates.
If it doesn't, it tanks.
Chip prices have been strong, business strong too. We shall see.
Closed up in after market Friday, and I do expect it to pop at opening.
Stock is down about 7 or 8 points from recent highs, and I think it could get back to it this week.
DOW expected to have triple digit opening!
(Kadee, almost went with REV this week)

Uncle23, you've just been voted "The king of the hill"; I don't think your horse will get a collar of roses on Friday; instead perhaps a Crown....... LOL. |

Yes, don't think any of us can pull one out to beat Uncle as long as it holds....up 251% according to MSN numbers.
Sure hope you bought some Uncle....in RL!
Mine is down & VB, so is Revlon. Revlon is pretty unpredictable, it goes both ways quickly.

I imagine many of us would be happy showing a 5 or 10% Monday bump, but no, uncle 23 has to show off for us!
Great pick!
