    Default Anyone else long Akamai? Internet Content Delivery kings

    Great stock ready to explode. Another great earnings call. The MM's are trying to hold this back, Goldman Sach, Piper Jaffries, etc. (long story) but the longs are finally taking the stock over. Up 14% on triple volume and still 40% below its recent highs coming off record earnings.

    I highly recommend going long with AKAM......Big news announcement coming out next week per CEO. (Rumored deal w/ Google).

    I also think NTFLX will start using their services and avoid the USPS all together. Akamai has a High Def solution already in the works.

    So many positives, look for this to take over in place of AMZN as the new replacement in the "4 Horseman" Tech leaders.

    GooG, AAPL, RIMM, AKAM

    AKAM has an interesting chart. That thing will have some room to run on a strong close over $37.50. The volume and chart indicate that a short squeeze occured today. Also some big volume on the 'in the money calls' today adds to the speculation you mentioned.

    I wouldn't consider AKAM a pump and dump. This thing is owned by Wall Street with around 87% institutionally held.

    I am not long AKAM and don't plan to because of my investing style. Still, good find. Good luck with your trade. I Hope you got in somewhere between 30 and 32.

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to include that disclaimer (*) with every stock recommendation I plan to never make again on this board. I hope your throne fits well oh mighty one. I didnt mean to shake things up as you make your moves from your Ivory tower. So sorry to disturb your plans of the great Utopia you foresee. Please pardon my ignorance. I'll be sure to read all the fine print next time.
