Joe N said they have serious debt issues to resolve, so while not a scam, not as good as the summary suggests either perhaps.
ASH earnings surprise but PM still slow and flat. Stock has P/E of 100 and the next most bloated P/E in its sector is DOW at 50. Way overvalued and also overbought with DMI going to bearish pincers.
no. interesting question. Google pulled up Tritech (UK) and Samsung. Schneider may. A careful dive into FSLR filings might reveal a supplier.
why would they buy so much of a company with a P/E twice that of the highest P/E competitor?

while I usually go for in the money or at the money puts and calls and only play when I am confident of direction, yesterday I grabbed April 26th 460 calls and 355 puts at $1 each. If I'd been able to sell the puts AH last night they would have more than paid for the ultra-wide straddle. This morning the puts are looking good. Either way... though it would have been sweet to win on both sides of the same straddle within 24 hours.
outlook for silver:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=87174908
Seems like while silver *could* test $19 or $17 support the consensus is $30's with a gold/silver ratio of 55 ($1650 - $2000 gold).
Gold prices are at or near the "all in" cost to produce, although the marginal "cash cost" is only half of that. IE gold can spike lower, but it is not sustainable much lower unless cost to produce comes back down.
Drivers:
- energy
- depletion of easy to produce reserves (same as oil)
- labor cost inflation in mining regions
Good morning to both of you.
SA asked for some expansion on why SNFCA revenues were growing for the article I submitted. I think the changes I just sent address all their needs ;)
I have too many fingers in too many pies so between work and managing the crop I have, I'll be busy!
SNFCA, ACNF, CBB, VRTX puts, all green
DMD, AAPL wide/cheap straddle, SYNM, GWW puts, ILMN puts, AT, IGC, ASH puts, END, TC all close to green.
AMD calls, VRNG, OSTK puts, RT puts, and NFLX puts not scaring me any
VRNG, ZNGA, GEVO, GEVO calls, GMO, JAXB, PAL, NUGT and USLV all need help ;)
If the acquired the patents and were the assignees of record, on what basis would they NOT be able to enforce them?
they could sell MSFT the patent and then GOOG's world changes... exclusive license would also be a trial changer. Otherwise, it is how much and how soon.
Aapl can buy more than they can margin, for a while....
I see it bouncing off $437 at the open which is top of the channel, eventually testing $350 (the charts really are screaming this out) as much as that defies the logic of the 10Q, and then the buyback and dividend filling that gap.
it will open up ($430ish) but $437 is top of channel.
I expect a drop to $350 by end of week still.
I tend to be excessively concise. no problem.
... now about that gap... $464 to $505 needs filling.
I didn't know which way to play it so I bought some weekly calls and some weekly puts. Will turn a small profit and add to my education on options ;)
That's not the opposite of what I said... The assets may be cash equivalent, but CASH does not generate returns superior to the interest paid on borrowed CASH. They must have cash grade investments where the CASH is tied up.
... or the CASH is in RMB and cannot be expatriated.
"In conjunction with the expanded return of capital program, the Company plans to borrow and expects to announce more details about this in the near future."
That makes no sense, unless the cash really isn't cash...
someone knows the earnings for Q1 are good... +$0.52 on no news.
I am not sure gap filling is relevant to either globally traded commodities with a 24x7 pricing variability or leveraged ETF's. Certainly not the latter, since they are piecewise-linear images of a leveraged options strategy on the underlying.
If the ambition is $15 I'd be playing in different fields...
I did not know of a bona fide shareholder lawsuit. I am thinking more along the lines of flayed and bathed in brine, but that's just me.
I heard BIDU was buying the White House... I saw it in a press release.
holy market manipulation!
almost triggered most of my shorts' limit prices. do that again!
$SNFCA gathering strength with Q1 earnings expected in a week or so. If Q1 is consistent with Q3 and Q3 of 2012 this really is a $15+ value stock.
SNFCA easing up with Q1 earnings in a week or two...
ABB is buying them, so no.
silver already is
short (using puts) NFLX, ASH (again), ... stalking GWW yet again
I stipulated when they short... The wisdom of short or long is debatable and I am sidelined until after the call. $350 or $505 gap fill? Either can happen...
Buying a winning lottery ticket is luck, not wisdom.
It has to fall past your puts for any real profits. Could happen. Wise options traders buy in the money puts to short, not lottery tickets.
it is unleveraged, physical silver. It is an alternative to SLV from Sprott.
As long as their fundamentals do not slip it's a valid target for a post earnings euphoric spike. Resistance at $400 is stout until perceptions change. The right financials and new product vision would change perceptions. Without that, $300 is a likely outcome.
it means I take one of my 20 vacation days a year from the company so I can trade guilt free...
Looking at puts on NFLX, will decide when options open.
I am sitting AAPL out till the call. $350 WILL happen but a positive call could pump it to $505 to fill that gap before the inevitable.
Long term, the pullback is an overreaction explained here.

I'll be considering more SNFCA also - grabbed 500.
more to the point, if they make a workaround but the IP Engine code in=s in Chrome browsers or firefox/IE plug-ins, adwords needs to refuse connections from those browsers and plugins so that ALL (every single) end user is forced to upgrade their browser or plugin...
scorched earth policy where it is cheaper to surrender the cash than lose the customer's good-will.
I wonder if the Yahoo messenger case corresponds to when it lose market share to other social media. After AOL and mIRC, Yahoo owned the space with messenger and web chat.
It is a precedent case in which Yahoo made a workaround to the patent they were infringing. It was found that until all instances of infringement were rendered unserviceable, Yahoo was still infringing.
If Google code is dispersed into browser plug-ins, the deployment of a workaround will not prevent infringement until all cases of deployed code are rendered inoperable.
Little Rock... Go there a lot of Junes for taekwondo.
closed puts on DUST and ASH at a profit. ASH is begging to be reopened at 9:30:01...
closed calls on NUGT at a profit and bought some USLV.
tough day at the office today so just now free again.
Taking a trading vacation day tomorrow.
Day will probably start with another faked Zynga PR about someone buying them :)
That will be closely followed by AAPL moving big in one direction of the other, so my premarket learning will be setting orders in Trader Workstation that are ready but not submitted so I can play AAPL puts or calls on a moment's notice.
After that I'll gladly find OSTK, RT, and ALKS puts are ready to close!
A man needs to dream!
and, since the point that is made all the time is that the value of gold is sentiment... this measures sentiment. The price of gold is sentiment to gold relative to currencies. Silver is a little more complicated because it is not just money, it is necessary.
