		<description><![CDATA[The Semiconductor Industry serves as a driver, enabler and indicator of technological progress. Developments in the industry determine the way we work, transport ourselves, communicate, entertain ourselves and respond to our environment. The PCs we work on, the cars we drive, the phones we communicate with, the electronic gadgets on which we watch movies, listen to music and play games on, and the planes and weapons used to transport or protect us use semiconductor devices. As environmental issues have become more of a concern today, semiconductor devices are being made to reduce power consumption, reduce heat dissipation, capture solar energy, create more efficient lighting solutions and so forth. The industry has come a long way since the last downturn, when most of the players streamlined operations and transferred more routine ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Western Digital Corp. (WDC) is counting the days to wrap up the acquisition of Hitachi Ltd.’s (HIT) wholly owned subsidiary, Global Storage Technology (“HGST”). Last week, the top-tier hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturer received approval from the European Union (EU) that cleared all disputes regarding the takeover. In March 2011, Western Digital signed a definitive agreement to take over HGST, for approximately $4.3 billion. The acquisition was intended to make Western Digital a more customer-focused storage company, with significant operational scale and a product suite that would make it more competitive in the international market. On the other hand, some industry experts believe that the combined entity may lose some market share, as several smaller players are supplying HDDs at competitive prices. Regulators approved the deal only after Western Digital ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Merge Healthcare (MRGE) showcased its new cloud-based platform ‘Merge Honeycomb’ along with its first application in the cloud, namely ‘free image sharing’ at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). This application enables users to upload, download, view and share medical images everywhere without the help of any additional software. Through this new solution the company intends to improve image interoperability and achieve the ‘Meaningful Use’ stamp from the federal government. Earlier this month, Merge selected Dell, Inc (DELL) as its preferred cloud computing services provider. The company expects to launch “Merge Honeycomb” in the first quarter of 2012, which led to a 17.5% increase in the stock price to $5.18 on Monday. Presently, Merge boasts the largest image sharing network opportunity with 6,000 clinics across the US, This ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most important components of modern-day consumer electronic devices, such as PCs, laptops, notebooks, tablets, pen drives, cameras or iPods often goes unsung. This is because storage capacity is such an essential part of these devices that we practically forget to see it separately as a component. But this sub-market, if you will, has been evolving too, with manufacturers striving to come out with advanced storage devices to suit varying customer needs. The computing segment primarily consumes three kinds of storage: internal, external or network attached. Internal storage is generally a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD). An SSD refers to a semiconductor-based primary storage medium as opposed to magnetic media such as a hard drive. External storage devices, such as those attached through USB drives ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Justin Dove, Investment U Research Wednesday, June 22, 2011 The Great East Japan Earthquake shook up Japanese electronics manufacturers like Sony (NYSE: SNE), Hitachi (NYSE: HIT) and Panasonic (NYSE: PC) in March. And things haven’t turned around yet. Sony’s stock is still reeling as it hit a 52-week low last week – a drop of more than 25 percent from its pre-quake price. Panasonic is down more than 10 percent and Hitachi is down approximately eight percent from their respective prices on March 10, 2011 – the day before the disaster. Days after the first quake, we suggested that investing in Japan could be a good bet for the long term. What we didn’t know at the time was how long it would take to see signs of recovery. ]]></description>

Our rating is based on the following thesis: EMC holds a leadership position in the storage hardware and software segment. The information storage business is EMC’s largest segment (78.0% of fiscal 2008 revenue). The company has reasserted its market leadership in the important high-end storage product category with the recent launch of V-MAX, its new Symmetrix line. Moreover, the new V-MAX product could help EMC gain additional market share in the cloud computing space.
