Server farms galore, cat bowling

Read on here at one point that Akamai controls 15 - 20% of the world's internet traffic in any given day. And I noticed the stock has gotten really cheap. Even while a lot of other stocks have done really well.

Agree it looks cheap but it's at the whims of the general hype of non-hype of cloud stocks, and the dominant story has been increased competition in their space from LVLT - compare those two charts over 3 months and LVLT looks a lot more attractive

Over a long enough timeframe, we might both be right. For now, my short pick of Akamai http://www.prooftrader.com/symbol/AKAM/914/Short-term-overbought-bounce-dow...
