3D Systems Corp (DDD)

[Lonnie Starr]

Avi is running the company, he doesn't control the market. The stock trades the way that it does because of investor and shorter actions. It doesn't matter how good a company is or is doing, the share price can drop despite the best news and operations. Remember that Google wanted to come public at 300 per share but the fat cats said that was unrealistic, so it traded at 85 for a while then boom up over a thousand per share.

While on the other hand, some companies headed for bk will see their shares rise like the dickens. Best to let CEO's stay focused on running the company, eventually the share price will follow, Avi chose to go for long term results and let the short term hoopla die down. Investors almost always over do it to either the upside or down side, it takes a while for the market to find it's footing. So, the only clear rule is, if you've got a good company stick with it.

For some strange reason this company attracted institutional short selling writ large, hardly a risk any savvy investor would care to take, since there are enough companies out there struggling for their very lives with outdated products and little to no hope of recovery, poor cash flows and saddled with debt. You don't need to bash your head against a new company with a new technology in a new industry sector and with profits to boot, just to make a few dollars shorting. But hey that's what someone is trying to do. Wish him luck, but I don't think there's much of a future for that kind of investing.

Warm Regards all and get that holiday shopping done!
