I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad --
Everyone has a secret,
But can they keep it?

If you like computer security stocks, but have never heard of SonicWALL
What sets SonicWALL apart from head-to-head competitors like Cisco Systems
That's not to say that only small and medium businesses would consider SonicWall security solutions. Big names like Time Warner
With more than 50,000 units shipped, that adds up to sales of $55.3 million, or 17% above the year-ago period. GAAP earnings more than doubled, from $0.03 per share to $0.08 per share. SonicWALL's strategy is to push its hardware products as hard as possible, creating a promising market for subsequent software installations.
SonicWALL's novel scanning approach gives the company an equally unique market position. Like I said, computer security threats are growing worse day by day, and chances are that the other security firms will eventually end up copying SonicWALL -- or buy the company to get their hands on the leading deep-scanning solution. Trading at a P/E of just 22 times forward earnings, the stock is relatively cheap right now -- even after taking an 85% leap over the last 12 months.
I'm heading over to CAPS to rate this stock "outperform" right now, based on its low valuation and innovative technology. You can follow along and add your two cents to SonicWALL's story, too.
