EMC generate 3 Billion cash oversea this year. Growing business in US and globally. Share at $13.85 is totally undervalued, good time to absorb some.

EMC Corp. is mum as well about its plans for its repatriated funds, up to $3 billion -- equivalent to about two-thirds of the cash position on its latest balance sheet. EMC says the cash it's generated since the beginning of 2004 has mostly been used for stock buybacks and acquisitions, but it isn't allowed to use repatriated funds for buybacks.

EMC's management and board have approved a plan that "does specify how the cash will be used," said Greg Eden, an EMC spokesman. "At this point, we do not intend to disclose that plan."

Maxtor and LSI Logic Push SAS Adoption

December 15, 2005: Having completed compatibility testing of its Atlas Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drive family with LSI Logic's SAS Host Bus Adapters, expanders, RAID controllers and ASIC initiators, Maxtor and LSI Logic have teamed up to drive SAS adoption.

The announcement comes a week after Maxtor and Adaptec declared their SAS partnership push.

Maxtor country manager for Australia and New Zealand, Edward Tien says that Maxtor and LSI Logic have worked on bringing fully tested SAS products to market so resellers can take advantage of the benefits of the serial architecture.

With hard drive connectivity for both SAS and SATA, Harry Mason, director of industry marketing, LSI Logic and president of the SCSI Trade Association says that the SAS architecture provides flexibility and scalability for tailored solutions.

Brian Garrett, an analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group also indicates his enthusiasm for the SAS push. "As the follow-on to the mature and widely deployed parallel SCSI interface, SAS brings a number of benefits to the table that resellers can take advantage of in designing solutions," says Garrett. "SAS offers 3Gb interface speeds, full-duplex, dual-port disk drives, scalable bandwidth via wide ports and point-to-point connectivity for better fault isolation as well as simplified cabling and cooling, all while leveraging the SCSI command set to maintain compatibility with existing SCSI infrastructures."

SCS earning tomorrow morning. It announced 0.09 dividend today before the earning's call. Mean estimate is 14c. I am bullish on SCS's business due to office funiture market grows fast since 2003. Along with today's good news on "Factory Output Posts Strong Gain" shed light on this trend.

Let's revisit what analyst say about SCS:
Steelcase remains on track to meet analysts' share-net expectations for fiscal 2005 (ends February 28, 2006). The company continues to benefit from the strong demand in the office furniture arena. The improving fundamentals within the commercial furniture market are being driven by the steady growth in corporate profits and related capital expenditure. The company has continued to directly benefit from this upturn, as has been demonstrated by the solid year-to-year revenue and profit advances in recent months, which has been primarily driven by Steelcase's large corporate customers. Management notes that the North American segment (57% of revenues) remains the strongest contributor to revenue and profit enhancement. This is thanks mainly to solid results at the company's Turnstone subsidiary, which is outpacing the overall market in terms of year-over-year growth. Although the effects of recent hurricanes have created some challenges, alalysts believe the company has addressed these issues. The negative variances that have resulted from the devastating storms are not likely to have any material effect on earnings.

Analysts expect margins to continue to widen over the next few years. Steelcase's efforts to improve its cost structure are paying off. Plant consolidation and workforce reductions have supplemented revenue growth and enabled margins to expand considerably. Analysts expect this trend to continue, as management notes that the company remains committed to cost restraint. Recent list price adjustments should further bolster the top line, offsetting the high cost of raw materials. Indeed, analysts are looking for the operating margin to increase by as much as 440 basis points by the end of fiscal 2006.

Steelcase shares are timely. The stock's appreciation potential out to 2008-2010 is in line with the Value Line median. Strengthening demand, coupled with the company's solid brand recognition, should further enhance revenues. Too, analysts are optimistic that the company's efforts to maximize productivity are likely to improve efficiency and drive profits over the next 3 to 5 years. Income-oriented investors may find the dividend yield appealing.

IMO, Earning will be good and beat the expectation tomorrow, $1 jump is very possible

NDN totally undervalue, stock tanked from over $40 to <$10 due to its SEC filing delay. Buesiness still good and growing. If you like deep undevalued mid cap, this is it.

FLE another hurricane play, VR and mobile home demand increased tremendously recently. Like CHB, FLE is cheap now, with the strong demand in mobile home, its earning number will be several fold.

MPS IT resource consulting company. This industry is booming. Look at ACN, I made a lot from it. Now I am out ACN, but still don't wanna leave this sector. MPS is another pick that I am holding in the IT outsourcing sector.

Comment on CHB. Strong buy before it move up. My target is >$20.

According to Hoover's, Champion Enterprises is the number-two manufactured homebuilder in the United States (behind Clayton Homes), selling about 23,000 homes annually. The stock has enjoyed a very nice rally over the last eight months. Much of it was helped by the active hurricane season. The company was thought to be one beneficiary of the rebuilding efforts along the Gulf Coast. The stock has gained nearly 75 percent from its April 19 close of 8.40. On April 20 the company reported impressive first-quarter earnings and if was off to the races. The stock had significant moves higher in mid-July (second-quarter earnings) and in late August (Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath).

Today's big buy orders gives an obvious signal that institutional investors start coming in. Today' open we saw a very good trend all the way to $15 level. Why it down a lot after the early rally? Easy, typical MM's manipulation before large appreciation. MM use small sell orders to bash the stock price at the same time absorb using block larger buy orders. If you have level II and pay attention to the trading pattern, you can easily observe this trick. I bet something is brewing and news is shared among those big money. Maybe the news is the government's contract. I knew that the government is gonna assign contracts to those mobile home builders to rebuild the coast. That is why I bought FLE also yesterday. I bought more CHB shares just now for CHB's possible fly next week.

From both TA and FA, CHB is a good play.

Analysts comment on FLE, a hurricane play. Very strong financial background with larger upside space due to demand on mobile home and factory-built house.

Fleetwood Enterprises may well earn a profit this fiscal year (ends April, 2006). The company has been in a downward spiral due to issues with unsold inventory, and has reported sizable losses in the past three quarters. Analysts believe the bulk of the associated restructuring has been dealt with and, aside from the travel trailer segment, the RV and manufactured housing segments will now be profitable. This result should be obtainable largely because of significant cost-cutting and employee reductions. Furthermore, hurricane-driven demand augurs well for the quarter. Fiscal 2005 earnings estimate of $0.10 a share represents a considerable improvement from last year's loss; and it would mark the first fiscal year of profitability since 1999.

New products could brighten the picture for the travel trailer division. The segment remains one of the largest challenges to revamp, but Fleetwood's recent introduction of new products should help. Indeed, it indicated that dealer reactions to the new ultralight, hybrid, and traditional products are proving positive. While analysts don't expect the segment to rebound overnight, a successful product launch augurs well for an eventual turnaround.

Hurricane-driven demand could prove quite positive for Fleetwood. Following the tragic onslaught of hurricanes this season, a number of the company's products could see a significant rise in demand. Given the large number of people displaced, demand for temporary shelter, both manufactured housing and RVs, could be quite sizable. Furthermore, permanent rebuilding could drive sales through 2006. Although the possibilities seem quite promising, analysts' estimates are very conservative. They assume most business will be given to the industry leaders, given Fleetwood's current struggles. The upside could, however, be significant.

If you like ACN and IT outsourcing business, you cannot miss MPS, which I believe the financial background is better than ACN and it is much cheaper.

Analyise on MPS

MPS Group has been performing well lately. Revenues have been increasing at a fairly solid pace. Healthy staffing demand continues to drive the Professional Services segment, both in North America and Europe, with all areas, including accounting/finance, engineering, healthcare, and law, showing strength. The Information Technology (IT) division is showing improvement overall, too, although analysts note that IT staffing in Europe remains a weak spot. A better mix of high-margin business, higher permanent placement activity, and good pricing discipline are aiding gross margins, meanwhile. What's more encouraging is that MPS has managed to achieve greater operating leverage recently, which has, in turn, benefited the bottom line.

Strengthening margins further remains a top priority, nonetheless. MPS plans to build up the Professional Services business, so that it will make up about 60% of revenues. In addition, the company intends to continue exiting low-margin accounts and focus more on middle-market clients in order to stabilize gross and operating margins within the European IT segment. But analysts don't expect a pickup in this unit until next year, as these initiatives are likely to keep revenues and operating income there subdued for the remainder of 2005. Share net in 2005 may well wind up at around $0.50, or a nickel higher than market's previous estimate. A share-net advance of about 30% might be possible the following year, assuming permanent placement activity remains healthy and the company gains additional leverage on the operating expense front.

The balance sheet is strong. With no debt, and cash in the coffers of about $103 million (as of the June quarter), the company has the financial means to support stock repurchases and make acquisitions to enhance and diversify its service offerings. About $25 million worth of stock repurchases were made recently, and $65 million remain under authorization.

This equity appears to be suitable for a broad range of investors. Not only is the stock timely for the year ahead, but it also offers wide appreciation potential out to 2008-2010.
