    The cloud boom is still raining money on optical-networking companies

    Applied Optoelectronics Inc. proved Wednesday that the boom in optical-networking products is not slowing down as companies build out corporate and cloud-computing data centers.

    On Tuesday, Applied Optoelectronics AAOI, +20.53% said its first-quarter results will easily exceed its previous guidance, thanks to the “continued robust demand” for its data center products. The company did not say much beyond its raised guidance and noted it will report final quarterly results on May 4, but the news fueled a 20% jump in its stock in after-hours trading.

    "...Applied Optoelectronics is poised to benefit from the growth of cloud computing, Henderson said.

    "We expect strong demand growth over the next several years, as Web 2.0, Big Data, social media and IaaS (infrastructure as a service) companies drive efficiencies through their current and new scaled-out data center footprints," he said.

    His price target for Applied Optoelectronics is 85..." http://www.investors.com/stock-list...-big-price-target-hike/?src=A00220&yptr=yahoo

    Whatever- I will hold 2 weeks until ER, then $120. 2 weeks patience = 30% gains. No brainer. Still very bullish

    I will be increasing my position in AAOI shortly. This is a clear dip buying opportunity on panic selling. Time horizon is at 3-5 months.

    I had a small position. Unfortunately only had my first tier buy and didn't quite drop low enough for my other to execute
