Just last week, one of those bulls, sharpea4, brought a couple of possible catalysts to our community's attention:
[Arris] is a company that I think has very good management and ample opportunities to increase business over the next few years. The two opportunities I like most for [Arris] is the [Apple (AAPL +1.73%)] TV product being released as [Arris] could be a partner in bringing this to the market. I also think [Arris] has its eye on purchasing [Google's (GOOG +3.74%)] recently acquired Motorola Home business. ... These opportunities and [Arris'] track record of good management decisions makes [Arris] one of my favorite tech picks for 2013.
