3D Systems Corp (DDD)

In the end, all it means, if they did issue any debentures, from the position and metrics we have, the selling only creates buying opportunities.

We have more complex trading schemes today than we had in your grandfathers market. That being so, the actions can be pretty
much impenetrable without doing some really deep dd. It's really
tedious work, tracing through all the SEC filings and then tracing
every name and company mentioned in there until one can come to
some definitive conclusions based on all of that data.

Hardly a wonder that most people take the short route, imagining
what the technology could do and scanning the balance sheets and
charts. Then holding all of that up against the kind of performance
one could expect of the industry over a longer term. Short term
thinking doesn't work very well here in these kinds of situations.
Since that kind of thinking would have had one selling out of
Amazon, Tesla, Google and just about any other high flyer, either
before they took off or while they were making their run.

We've made, what is essentially, a bet on the future and the future
is a longer way off than just a quarter or two. So, while day to
day performance may seem distressing for some, it really means
very little in the scheme of things to come. Like my friend told
me this morning: "Buy and buy big... I wanna make a million bucks!"
LOL

Happy investing all.
