Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (TSEM)

[dent1]

same old tsem, disappoint and be more indebt. so, i guess it doesn't matter what the indian deal is worth,the pps keeps going down. just look at the three year chart.

[Long-vestor]

Weekly Chart sure looks like a double bottom, even got wings as shoulders, lol.. it'll be interesting to see what happens when it hits that gap.

[fulcrumgavel]

Does anyone know how much the India deal could bring in annual revenue?

[dent1]

don't you wish that you had sold when i predicted this behavior. wow lower and lower.

[dent1]

i hope that you saved money for more dips as it looks like there will be a significant diptoday, maybe another 52 week low. see,i didn't mislead anybody, tsem did. more dilution, more debt , more lows.

[dent1]

it looks like a new 52 week low will be hit today,at least at the opening. i will bet that there is insider knoledge that on august 8 when the quarterly comes out that they will not hit theguesstimate of .17 a share but that there will be another big loss. thus the significant drop. thank goodness i sold 3/4 of my holdings , what a disaster.

[dent1]

wow ,another 52 week low,by far .

[dent1]

since it hit a new 52 week low as i predicted i hope that you were able to buy more cheap shares. although the shares you purchased from me are 20 % lower. i just know their history, and if you look at their 5 year chart it is almost a direct downward trend. so there is no bothering with me the gripe should be with tsem the company for doing a reverse split then diluting by 100 %. this is the stuff that a pink sheet stock does.

[albert1927]

yada, yada, yada ... there's no point bothering with you.

[dent1]

be prepared, they just told us that all the warrants that were exercised,thus more shares thus dilution,thus a drop in pps. and i will bet that today will give us a new 53 week low. in other words another chance to buy more cheap shares,except this has happened for the past 4 years so the cheap shares became very expensive shares.

[dent1]

hope springs eternal. i too was impressed with their supposed technolgy. so, maybe just maybe the company will become a high flyer. but, i don't know if you noticed but the pps hit a new 52 week low yesterday. you certainly could haved added on that dip. so, i have stated nothing misleading.

[albert1927]

So why are you still here? You never addressed that. Just holding on to your misery, misleading readers, or nothing better to do with your time?

[dent1]

i tried that over the years and they absolutely never went up in the long run. and you are welcome i think ha ha

[albert1927]

True, their past financial acumen has been poor, but their technical skills are appreciated. I am hopeful, particularly with the India build.
BTW: thanks for the shares, I'm adding.

[dent1]

i have sold all but a thousand shares,hoping that they will become responsible. by rights this company should be at 45 to 60 dollars a share. but they keep borrowing money and losing it going more into debt,keep diluting. look at the 4 year chart and you'll get the idea

[albert1927]

Gee, dent, I take it you don't care for them. Why are you here?

[dent1]

this company is run by a bunch of egotistical idiots. they bloat the share structure then do a reverse split and then dilute to double the shares. now, can you think of many pink sheet stocks that do the same thing? look at the last 5 years stock chart. down hill 100% of the time. if you buy be prepared to lose unless you just flip the stock.

My new opinion of this company is sour. I just sold out after five years. The sales increased a ton but too much debt.

Oil time!

[RickKayne]

Looks like the shorts are covering.

I don't short anything.

[RickKayne]

Yes. Finally something.
Lots of traders love to short rev splits. This one just did a 1:15 and may turn out fine.

[Durumi]

I was quiet headlong, you know.
Before I have invest, I had to know that this company has a lot of debt!
Now I am outta here, and I think that was not a bad decision.
Thanks anyway for the reply!

[dent1]

they are acting like a pink stock. the reason they are not over 1.00 is that they pay off debt and the pps rises and then they promptly increase the debt even more. now they want to increase the as do a reverse split then dilute the share structure to supposedly raise capital. if you didn't know that this was a 600 million dollar company you would think it was a sleazy pinks sheet stock.

[Durumi]

Few days ago...
I closed my position with a loss.
And today I received a mail from this company that
they are going to have a meeting of shareholders on july in Israel.

They intend to make a reverse split - which I do not think it would be great.
