Exide Technologies (XIDE)

Going to get with the times. I like that, though it might take a spell.

Braskout is coming soon as it nears its breakout point near its 52 week high.

Long-term pick - once we return to an economy that purchases cars again, Exide will prosper. Good balance sheet, solid product, loyal customers all indicate a long-term value.

John Deere gave a reward to XIDE for outstanding service... The stock is bought by the President of XIDE... More batteries in more cars... They are reducing their debt...

bull

Free cash flow, great customers, spends wisely, and plans for the future

Undervalued at this time, but will definitely increase in years to come. A solid buy!

Battery tech and production will be big in the new "alternate" electricity economy.

Making a lot of investments in infrastructure to be more efficient, great side business in recycling.

BYDDY, ENS, XIDE all part of (car) battery basket.

that was one heckuva haircut on friday. a trim was needed, but probably didn't deserve the clippers.

Oversold battery maker. Look for a good bounce with market upturn.

portable electronics are definitely on the rise and really aren't going anywhere..

With earnings right around the corner I think this will be their 8th positive announcement. Continuing to sell to the rest of the world and obtaining huge contracts is a BIG win, not to mention the weak dollar makes everyone want to buy our goods! A newly developed and deployed battery called the 'Absolyte GP' is going to do huge things in serving the alternative energy industry and others as well. The new battery has an awesome extended life as well as a proprietary alloy instead of traditional metal making recycling the battery easier...I would dare say this will turn into one of Cramer's 'new tech for mankind' stocks sometime soon!

Way too cheap. It is being hammered by the forced liquidation of its largest shareholder.

The company has been turned around. 1 billion has been spent on the turn around. China is the number 2 auto industry in the world and is growing rapidly. XIDE provides the batteries that start the engines. Manufacturing is offshore where the growth is occurring.

Just about to get back on track after a stint in chapter 11. The CEO is very experienced and has a great track record.
