STEC (STEC) - Keeps on Tickin', Never Quittin'

Submitted By Trader Mark
Unlike Palm (PALM) which I kick myself often for missing but I located myself, I am watching another amazing run in a company called STEC (STEC). I had never heard about it but in one of the stories I had posted in Seeking Alpha, a reader commented about it in May. Around $11. Today, this heavily shorted stock is... $31.

I spent a whopping 45 seconds on research and said "ho hum, just another flash memory type of company like Sandisk (SNDK)".... guess I was wrong on that one. Heck it's more like Western Digitial (WDC) than Sandisk. (note to self, spend at least 60 seconds in the future)

STEC was one of best performers of the first half of 2009 [Jul 1, 2009: 83 Stocks that Doubled Your Money in the 1st Half of 2009] but has not let up. It is obvious why it is being shorted as it now rockets to a mid 20s forward PE ratio, but that whole think with a narrow door that too many people are trying to get out of at once can illustrate the situation on the short seller side today in that name. All it takes is a some news and boo yah. Actually considering their entire revenue forecast (by analysts) for 2009 was in $330M this deal is quite an impact - and it all appears to be for "2nd half 2009".

Flash memory storage products maker Stec Inc (STEC) inked a $120 million deal with one of its largest enterprise storage customers to supply solid-state drives in the second half of 2009, sending its shares up 16 percent to an all-time high.
Stec did not name the customer, but said it now expects revenue from the sale of ZeusIOPS solid state drives to exceed $220 million in 2009. Overall revenue for the company in 2008 was $227 million. Last month, the Santa Ana, California-based company had raised its second-quarter outlook, and said it expects sales of ZeusIOPS drives to exceed $80 million during the first half of 2009.
The company counts hardware OEMs such as IBM Corp (IBM) and Hitachi (6501.T) among its larger customers.

What the heck is a solid state drive?

Solid state drives are viewed by many as the future of the disk drive industry -- they are faster, and unlike hard disk drives they have no moving parts and hence are more sturdy. SSDs are still more expensive than traditional hard drives but are increasingly being used in laptop PCs because they are more durable and consume less power than hard disk drives.

Zeus is rocking it.

With an online document

Submitted by 640-802 on Mon, 03/22/2010 - 3:35am.

With an online document management 000-331 system, your organization's documents SK0-002 are now electronic. So, what happens JN0-522 if more than one user is accessing and BR0-001 changing the same document simultaneously HP0-D04? Version control and revision 1Y0-A05 tracking features take care of this issue. The system will 1Z0-042 track and make a record of who has accessed what 1Y0-259 files and what changes to the document(s) 642-359 were made. The most up-to-date and recent TK0-201 version is displayed as JN0-342 the current file. Because an electronic JN0-331 document management system is web-based 642-591, there are cost-saving benefits. With the large 1Y0-A08 amount of paperwork that affordable housing 642-746 agencies handle daily, they are constantly HP0-J22 struggling to come up with enough office space BH0-006 to store and file information, resulting in more 642-974 expenses. An electronic system 640-802 converts paper documents to electronic documents 642-631 eliminating the need to office storage space 642-681, not to mention eliminating paper processing 646-985, printing and copying costs. Now, onto Records Management 1Z0-053. With a system that includes a Records 642-973 Management module for compliance, the 310-065 application tracks document retention periods and will 642-975 alert you when its deadline has passed, and the 350-040 document needs to be purged. This functionality is 1Z0-051 specifically helpful to prevent compliance issues that 642-145 arise from surprise audits. How does a document management XK0-002 system help with distributing grant 1Y0-A11 money? Well, housing departments ultimately PW0-104 want to perform this task as quick and efficient as NS0-163 possible. Document management software allows you to drag SY0-101 and drop or import electronic files and applications 642-736. Say you need to convert a grant application form to an JN0-532 electronic version. Scan the document(s) into the online system BH0-004, where it is then automatically stored and can 640-802 be immediately accessed and moved through an SY0-201 automated approval process. This allows applications to be 350-001 speedily processed and approved, resulting in grant money being distributed quicker and more 642-901 efficiently. What about all of those 642-825 emails housing agencies daily receive? Document 642-845 management software offers a solution 642-812 for this too. With email archival, the 640-822 system categorizes and archives each email and 640-816 fax that is received. If VCP-410 a user needs to find a specific email or fax later on, you can quickly retrieve by using a 642-892 text search.
