Month January 2010

3PAR Inc. (PAR) : Downtrend may continue

3PAR may continue on its downtrend after bouncing off its thin kumo support at around $10.80

For the past 2 trading sessions, the chart shows a doji (look at red arrows) which could be a signal to a reversal of the prior trend.

In this case, 2 doji appearing right after a rebound could suggest that the price will not go higher.

And if rebound fails, we can definitely see a lower high being formed again (look at the green arrows).

Already we have 1 confirmation of a bearish cross with the Tenkan sen cutting the Kijun sen (highlighted in yelllow)

A break below yesterday’s low will be a clear sign that the price will not hold.

OCBC (O39) : Ichimoku Bearish Cross Sighted

OCBC just had a bearish cross today.

Confirmation with Tenkan sen – Kijun sen crossing each other.

The Chikou Span has also start to cut the price line on the way down.

3PAR (PAR) : Hirings….

Interesting find I have today.

I did a search on Twitter for 3PAR and noticed among the results a number of hiring for 3PAR.

Among the job titles includes:

- Senior Account Executive

- Sales Operations Manager

- Inside Sales Representative

- Senior Planning Manager and more….(including engineering jobs)

What does this suggest?

3PAR is expanding (unless there is an untold exodus..which I doubt so). My gut feel is it is expanding to have more coverage of the market (and to improve its product further).

Generally, company size of 3PAR enjoys a culture where lots of people envy. Room for growth, in a growing market, game changing technology…. in other words, the chance of expansion is higher than replacement of talents.

At the same time, I am not sure what is the impact on operation costs.

Let’s keep this in view.
