theflyonthewall.com: Altera plans broad build-out in the communication segments
At its Financial Analyst Conference, Altera (ALTR) noted that it sees the telecom and wireless industries holding the largest potential for growth in the next three to five years. Video traffic and cloud computing continue to drive needs for more bandwidth in the telecom space. In wireless, China and India’s 3G licensing are driving growth. Although the military and automotive industries represent smaller areas of growth, Altera feels they will develop faster than the rest. In FY10 the company expects gross margins of 67%-68% and R&D expenses of $257M. :theflyonthewall.com

theflyonthewall.com: Altera: Earnings release technical preview, short-skew, extreme gap risk
BULLISH CASE: On better than expected news/outlook the stock could trade to the upper limit of the bearish price channel at $22.11. On a bullish breakout above the price channel the following resistance levels would become upside objectives: $22.73, $23.31, $23.74, $24.19, $24.58, $24.99, $25.48, $25.88. BEARISH CASE: On worse than expected news/outlook the stock could trade to the lower limit of the price channel at $20.71. On a bearish breakdown below the price channel the following support levels would become downside objectives: $20.05, $19.75, $19.21 -- the 200-day moving average, bearish if broken, $18.76, $18.47, $18.17, $17.90, $17.63, $17.34, $17.03. NOTE: There is a large short-base at 5 days to cover, with 6.1% of the float short. Traders are positioned for negative news. Reactions on a surprise, especially a positive one given the large short-base, have a high probability of being extreme in duration and price. Extreme gap risk. :theflyonthewall.com
