ALWAYS where there is smoke there is FIRE. Maybe nothing comes of the allegations, maybe this time nothing is wrong and the SEC jumped too soon to investigate one of its own, I don't like to buck historical patterns. A $2 jump vs a $10 crash is not… More

This is the most ridiculous stock I have seen in the last 3 years. Every time cnbc talks about this crap of a company they tout how this is going to be acquired. Why would you acquire BRCD, when you have companies like XRTX right behind it? What is it that an investor sees here that they don't see at XRTX?
Just a mere look at the fundamentals, to a novice trader like me, made me pick XRTX as the stock of my portfolio last year, then why would anyone ever make the mistake of buying BRCD?

They have just expanded into 2 huge brand new "Brocade" offices near san jose CA last year, id say they woudnt be expanding on this scale if they wernt doing well. I believe they are oversold, the entire storage market seems to be down collectively, id say they will bump backup when the panic selling ends

I never expected to reach this status as I bottom shopped during the Bear side of 2008-2009. May this company continue to grow stronger and stay around for the long term.
