A couple of months ago, one of those bulls, fellow Fool David Meier (TMFHumbleServant), tapped the stock as a particularly attractive growth opportunity:
Fusion-io uses solid-state memory to help servers run more efficiently and effectively. There are lots of servers out there that could use a boost, as well as new ones that will come online. Major customers include Facebook (META 2.98%) and Apple (AAPL 0.64%) for their internal networks.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Fusion-io may not be your top choice.
