3.77 has some resistance but this could easily blow through that if earning are on or over street. I have a feeling we are going to be very happy with this next report, these guys know what they are doing and keep on signing BIG contracts.

[matt24d]

I think we break $4 soon and will see 4.50 soon after. I am glad this has a nice pull back ahead of earnings. Gives it a good change for a big move on good earnings.

[TenaciousD]

sweet semi conducter industry has gotten beaten up pretty badly last couple of weeks but it looks like we are out of the woods, blue skies ahead baby!!!!!!

looking for 5.00 easy by march

[matt24d]

O I know a few times we have seen 500K share bids show up.

[diddunit]

after seeing the action on ACLS today, I'm inclined to agree with your short-theory

more then a few times there has been 100k size lots on the bid

[matt24d]

I know I saw that. They dropped it to 2.99 on like 100 shares or something like that. I have a feeling the shorts piled on big time this week. When the covering starts this will be back to 3.50 in a flash.

[TenaciousD]

Someone was trying really hard to close this major red! To bad they failed, check out the link and try and say that isn't manipulation at its finest.

This could indicate short interest fears on this for next week, look for a big bounce back imho.

[Sud13]

NT $546,736,300 equals approx. US $18M. Good find.

[matt24d]

thanks!! posting on our board. Come join us just no picks and OTC stock if its a big board feel free to share.

[TenaciousD]

just posted it will add to the ibox later, this alone is reason to hold, wait until the sector settles down and more eyes get on this, could double easy :)

IMO of course

[TenaciousD]

CHECK OUT ACLS! TSMC spends more than NT$30 billion on fab gear in December scroll down to Dec 20 2010. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20101231PM200.html and TSMC may spend $8 bln on investment this year-report http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTOE70I00U20110119?feedType=RSS&feedName=technology-media-telco-SP&rpc=43

BIG BIG NEWS IMO

[matt24d]

Please get me the link to this ASAP. I want to read this. I had not seen this info yet.

[matt24d]

AAU is on the verge of a HUUUUUGEEE gold discovery. Looking at their drill results they have a HUGE find of high quality gold. But again I think gold is going lower. Its looking more and more like china is going to have to raise interest rates and when that happens gold looses another 30-40 an ounce from here easy.

[matt24d]

Please post this. I would love to post it over on our board. We have a lot of long term ACLS holders over there.

[TenaciousD]

I am playing svg.v for their moly reserves and exk because they are ready to jump from junior to big boys. Both are dirt cheap right now. I hold a ton (figuratively) of physical silver but only a couple of insurance ounces of gold. Its long term anyways I can't watch the spots daily, it would kill me.

D

[matt24d]

Please come join our board. We play only big board stocks and have some SUPERB picks left and right. We have a ton of great DD and some great charters over there.

[TenaciousD]

sorry I will post the two links in a sec, thought I had here already.

lol

D

[matt24d]

I like AAU in the mining sector. I am holding what I have but not buying any more right now. Gold broke a key support level today and I think one more good piece of economic news and gold will probably see 1300.

[TenaciousD]

yeah and check the posts a couple down that show the 545 million spent by that Taiwan company on us so far and they figure to buy lots more this year!

off-topic you playing any junior mines?

D

[matt24d]

I think their earnings are going to be superb this Q. I have been saying for over a month I think the report .02-.04 a share in earnings on 110-115 million in revenue. Also someone pointed out to me today that the institutional ownership on the stock increased like 20% in the month of Dec.

[TenaciousD]

imagine, they announce they have a huge signing with one of the biggest Taiwanese manufacturers and it gets dragged down. The market is way to unpredictable these days! When this bounces its gonna run hard IMO.

Nice buys!

D

[matt24d]

O for sure I loaded 2300 shares today. Got 1200 at 3.25 and then another 1100 at 3.16 I used this dip to load the boat.

[TenaciousD]

tough week, nothings changed with the company, actually quite the opposite great news announced, just a victim of the semi's sell off this week.

it'll be back up

D

[matt24d]

Yes I think that 3.80-4.00 is coming soon.

[TenaciousD]

nice volume and movement today !

glty

[TenaciousD]

Full Disclosure. In light of recent events involving the questioning of the integrity of the stock market as a whole as well as the volatility of the American economy and devalued credit rating and dollar I will be selling at least half if not almost all of my holdings by the end of this month and reinvesting in "tangible" holdings. (silver) I will still check in on my favs but won't be around as much. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone and I hope all of you proper and do well with your present and future endeavors.

GLTA :)

D

[matt24d]

That gap is coming into play right now IMO. We are now at 2.69

[wesley_]

yep, I saw it yesterday... nice... GL!

[4Godnwv]

If they show a profit next quarter as they suggest they will, I see no problem filling that gap. People who bought early last year have already seen a 10bagger+. New comers could see a double or even a triple from here in a few months time, imo

[TenaciousD]

thats one sexy chart! man with some serious volume that gap could fill up real quick. Thanks for the chart and GLTY

D

[4Godnwv]

Here is a longer term view of the chart in the i-box. Note the 'gap' into the $4 range. The future for ACLS shareholders could be very good!

[TenaciousD]

Guess my prediction was correct on breaking the 2.20 wall ! I just didn't expect it to go this high this quick !! :)

GLTY

D

[TenaciousD]

that 2.20 wall is really stubborn, I think if we get past that we may hit 2.30

D

[TenaciousD]

yep, legging up to the 2.00 range again. Volume is being absorbed nicely, definitely not a dump. Tomorrow will be a good indicator as to whether we continue to climb. It would be really nice if it sowly rose back up to the 2.50 mark we were at a month or so ago.

glty

D

[wesley_]

up on nice volume...

[wesley_]

1.95, nice breakout so far... :)

[matt24d]

This company is very undervalued. They reduced their 85 million in bank debt in the last 18 months. They have a new product that is selling very nice. The product has major advantages over their competitors. They have grown their cash reserves and the revenue is really starting to get up there. Todays Q was freaking spectacular gained 10 million in revenue Q over Q. This needs to break 2.50 and from there it should have that gap to $4 on the chart come into play. I have been locked and loaded for awhile and if the MM's dip it tomorrow for any reason I am buying more.

[TenaciousD]

welcome back monkeyfrog! nice report from ACLS today cash flow building over 100 thousand in after hours trades tomorrow we could see a boost

Technically, the buy rating for ACLS is now set to 3 (pretty strong) with the $2.61 target price in short term.

[TenaciousD]

trading strange up to 1.84 and then down to 1.71 in a matter of hours. To much speculation at this point, need some firm numbers to find a solid base for next leg up.

Should give ACLS a little bump this week.

BEVERLY, Mass., June 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:ACLS - News) today announced that it expects to rejoin the broad-market Russell 3000(R) Index, based on a preliminary list of additions posted June 11, 2010 on http://www.russell.com/. The reconstitution of the Russell Indexes will take place on June 25, 2010 after the market closes.



"Axcelis is very pleased to be selected to rejoin the Russell 3000 Index," commented Stephen Bassett, executive vice president and CFO. Our selection for membership on the Russell 3000 index reflects the significant progress the business has made over the past year and should increase awareness of Axcelis' achievements by a broad range of institutions and investors."



The annual reconstitution of the Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000(R) Index or small-cap Russell 2000(R) Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index, which Russell launched in 2007.

Very weird.

I see no news to justify pre-market jump.

Anyone?

[TenaciousD]

this drop doesn't make sense I am going to do some dd into this and if I dont find anything this ould be a nice new level for an entry point

D

[TenaciousD]

nice bounce back from a bad market this week, running into Friday is always a gamble but the strength of this stock is becoming apparent. Kudo's to those who added at the lows !

D

[TenaciousD]

nice rally up .25 for the day, need to get back above 2.65 this week then a big push. Next 3 weeks could get interesting if market holds strength.

D

[bhughes]

Another thing to consider, is that the market has had a really rough week and we've been able to hold together. If the market bounces or recovers at all, it could benefit us as well.

[bhughes]

Yes, I was disappointed in the morning, but as it continued to rebound and head to a positive day I was very happy. It was a good day with solid volume so it could give it some momentum.

[TenaciousD]

I totally expected it and was actually quite impressed with how we held up today. I anticipated a bigger dip with a news sell off but todays action shows me confidence in the stock and I wouldn't be surprised if we got some new investors in today with 1 million in volume and a small uptick from yesterdays close at eod. The rest of the week will tell the tale but if we continue to slowly rise here over the next week or two I think we can anticipate a very good couple of months coming up.

I will try and look into the buys at some point this week to see if we have some new institutional buyers on board but all in all a very good day IMHO.
