I've been watching OCZ and STEC crash and burn out of morbid curiosity. FIO has fared much better.

I spent $55k this morning buying several several stocks like BP, TOT & WFC, NYB, MO. Will see how that play out in the near future. :)

Buying! Average price is down to $16 after following this company since its IPO. I will still buy going forward, as they are nicely placed to take down EMC, which is in denial about the end of the disk drive.

With FIO I think you are thinking too small. A move from 15-20 is great, but really if these guys execute on the plan, both these points will look the same. FIO is a 1.9B market cap company taking on EMC which is a 48B. When this thing starts to shift, the growth will be amazing. Best case, then grow to 10B+ in the next 5 years, worst-case is they get bought out as EMC gets smart enough to feel the inevitable. Either way the shares do well. Yesterday's earnings was exactly what I needed to hear, and I am going to keep buying this baby, even if the momentum keeps going up over the next few weeks. I've been following flash since using EEPROMs at IBM, and I think we are there already. Toshiba and Samsung and now IBM (just announce 1B dedicated to Flash R&D), all believe it also.
