    Skullcandy (SKUL) anyone? I have seen their headphones at a variety of electronic stores (small, big, retail, office). I think this is a stock I want to purchase because of what I see on the shelf. They also have high YOY revenue growth, and retail credit/spending looks good despite the recession.

    Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) as well? I have heard they could lose revenue due to patent expirations on their K-cups but the market growth looks great. My aunt and uncle own a Keurig and buy the cups all the time. Their children have moved out, so now they have time to make a cup of "gourmet" coffee rather than sufferring with a store brand or buying the more expensive on-the-go Starbucks. I think they represent the highest growth potential for GRMCR's P&G razor blade model: the aging childless-home baby-boomers.

    I am thinking of taking long positions on these stocks as I see good growth in their respective markets for the next several years.

    not sure about the skull candy. i read somewhere that with apple updating the earbuds that comes with their product, a lot people may not be willing to spend additional money for another set of headphones.

    I am usually selling and rebuying..

    a week go NOK dropped almost 16% so I had to stay with it until it got me into positive territory...

    I still think its a good long term investment, but I like flipping money so I do sell high, buy low. Like I said, possibly $4 bucks by years end.

    stock is at 2.73 right now..Placed a stop limit at 2.60 to collect

    unfortunately too many shorts are currently placed on NOK...I hope it does not lose to much until the Nokia 920 hits the streets, right now at 2.71

    seems like a pretty risky place to get back long. it's rallied back to resistance and just went thru a massive move to the upside. 2.00 seems to be a lot safer place to get back long if you want to be in this trade.

    That downgrade wasn't just a minor one. Analysts rarely give out sell ratings on stocks. Anytime a sell rating is issued by an analyst it should be listened too. Sure they may not be correct, but they can usually provide some good insight.
