Expecting great things from OCZ soon ;)
Most likely untrue/dumb comments in the first place
I see they are making some acquisitions of talent but it brings into question what the actual value and stability of the company is.
The paper is certainly written to make quick bucks; some of it is conjecture, some of it not entirely true, but it does have points that are valid, and mirror my own concerns about the company in general.
The company's stock price has jumped from 1.88 to 10.48 in 8 months and then evaporated by 27% from that high in the past two weeks.
