    By Jacob Wolinsky - June 10, 2013 | Tickers: EMC, NTAP, TPL

While this will likely set a cat among pigeons, investors can use the opportunity to get into solid plays at discounted prices.

  • What I Bought and Sold This Quarter

    By Lee Samaha - June 8, 2013 | Tickers: AGN, CTXS, CL, NTAP, SHW

    In the end, numbers are just numbers and while they are an indispensable part of an investor's self-assessment, they do not always reveal the full details. For example, my last month closed with a negligible loss but the truth is, I started the month notably down after two profit warnings on the last day of April.

  • Buy This Leader of Data Storage and Avoid the Rest

    By Shmulik Karpf - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: EMC, NTAP, WDC

    I believe that the data storage industry is one of the more interesting industries out there. As technology becomes more advanced and more popular in third-world countries, the pending question will become not how to create data, but rather, how to store it in an optimal way that allows a swift yet secure access to it.

  • Data Is Exploding, Buy Cloud Storage Providers

    By Nihar Patel - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: EMC, NTAP, VMW

    I have written a lot about large data centers and the cloud, and only sort of touched on storage. Information is growing like crazy, and all of that needs to be stored somewhere.

    Fortune Magazine recently published its list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Out of curiosity I compared the list to the stock market to see which were publicly traded, and if there is any correlation between being a great place to work and being a great stock.

  • Is EMC a Buy?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: EMC, HPQ, IBM, NTAP, VMW

    The past year has been alright for the market as a whole, but EMC (NYSE: EMC) has lagged with the stock down 19% in the last 52 weeks. The $49 billion market cap data storage software and solutions company actually turned in decent financial performance in 2012, with revenue up 9% from the previous year and earnings increasing by 11%, but apparently these numbers disappointed investor expectations.

  • This Network Storage Leader is Too Cheap to Ignore

    By Ted Cooper - March 25, 2013 | Tickers: EMC, IBM, NTAP

    In the fast-changing world of computing technology, a company that appears cheap often winds up being a value trap. However, such is not the case with EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), the market leader in network storage. The company has a defensible moat that will allow it to continue to thrive in the years ahead.

Over the past 35 years Elliott has produced an more »

  • The Best Value Tech Stock in the Market?

    By Lee Samaha - February 26, 2013 | Tickers: CSCO, EMC, IBM, NTAP

    NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) is one of those stocks that splits investors. On the one hand it offers fantastic value prospects while also being a genuine takeover target. On the other hand, growth is weak, it is exposed to some difficult end markets (Government is a key vertical) in a highly competitive industry and there are long term questions over its business. It is an intriguing situation.
