Alvarion: 'DSL on the go'

Although global expert Vivian Lewis believe we are not yet "at the end of the correction" she continues to find selected opportunities in individual stocks, such as Israeli-based Alvarion (NASDAQ: ALVR), a leader in WiMax technology.

In her Global Investing newsletter, the advisor says, "The market's recent rise was fed by a 'shortage' of stocks; without buybacks and private equity, there will be glut."

She forecasts that as borrowing gets costlier, it will dry up investment by the corporate sector, homebuilders and consumers. And, she cautions, fixed-income vehicles will then lure investors away from the stock market.

Nevertheless, she continues to recommend select special situations, and has added Alvarion to her buy list. She explains, "WiMax started out as the commnications standard of the Israeli Army in desert campaigns, but is now widely used in countries where telephony is in its infancy, in the developing world."

Now, she says, "Alvarion's all-IP OPEN WiMAX ecosystem opens the door to complete, best-of-breed networks." She explains, "Through a new technology arrangement with ArrayComm's Advanced Multi-Antenna software, the company will be able to offer fast personal broadband network services and take this around with them."

She explains, " This will be a kind of 'always-on' IP-based service for high speed broadband. This will do email, computing, telephoning and texting, games, other consumer electronics, media, office, whatever. Another way to name it is 'DSL on the move'. We rate the stock a buy."
