I am quite sure that I was no different from most people in my thinking of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) as one of the most innovative businesses in the world.

By Chris Lau - June 3, 2013 | Tickers: CRUS, NUAN, OVTI
Ever since Barclays presented Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS) in negative light at its TMT (technology, media, and telecommunications) conference, shares have dropped back to the teens.

This Incredibly Cheap Stock Might Rise Above the Clouds
By Harsh Chauhan - May 1, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS
It seems like the Street has a penchant for punishing Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS). The stock was punished heavily in mid-April after the company released preliminary results, dropping to the tune of around 17% in a single day. The preliminary results revealed that Cirrus would be missing estimates and its gross margins would take a hit. The shares crashed heavily, and rightly so, at that time.
Double trouble
However, when more »

I was so sure that the company would crush its numbers in the last earnings report that I bought options contracts at the time anticipating a run-up above $600 a share. In an attempt to learn from my mistakes, I want to analyze the current situation to see if it more »

The Market’s Irrational, and That’s Why It has Given You This Opportunity
By Harsh Chauhan - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, CRUS, SNDK
If a solid earnings report along with a solid outlook isn’t enough to propel a stock higher, then what is? I’d expected flash memory maker SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) to post terrific results and a sunny outlook, and the company duly obliged.
