What the hell was the 10:00 free fall all about ? A good sign..wtf. mm bastards.
vodkahub sounds better than investorshub anyways. We're static and dead so far this morning.
I'm seeing some resistance around .57. That's not falling! (yet)
I've Been panicing since it went under a Buck..REALLY! Repubs now control the senate too. Will Obamas Solar initiatives also disappear...
Hmmmm, Las Vegas wants dope! Suck Joes license is from Nevada. A Year or more away from rec legalization! With the Republics now at the helm and holder gone (God help us all) Big corps will be in control and Little guys like Joe will be washed out.
Should we let what little value we have left in this pos rot until legalization. Maybe then the drunkard Joe can touchette his welching brother. What's the income from the RV storage Lot. Oh, Oh, I'm parched. Do you have a drink of water Joe, or just Booze.
Volume today at 6.5 mmm was about the daily average before the BIG DUMP as in poop. However, the pps was well over 10X the value we see today. In other words, it seems no legit entity is interested right now and as of late. FACT and a horror story. Maybe I'm missing something? Do Tell?
Solars got smashed again today! There's only 2 Survivors and these suckers went up nice.. Both BK Stocks: GTATQ and LDKYQ. I hope the smoke clears soon! I need $5 more!
My real broker says watch for real news before buying. I didn't listen. still all in...
and under a buck here in pennyland! Gotta break a buck also to be considered! A reverse split could do it!
http://www.imore.com/gt-advanced-agrees-pay-apple-290000-furnace-sold
GT Advanced has reached an amended settlement agreement with Apple, the company announced today. The settlement will see GT Advanced paying Apple $200,000 per Sapphire furnace sold for the first 500 units, $250,000 per furnace for 501-1000, and $290,000 per furnace for each additional unit until the loan of $439 million is repaid.
The amended settlement comes in the wake of a messy battle between the two companies after GT Advanced filed for bankruptcy last month. The latest in the lengthy battle between the former partners saw the GT Advanced COO blaming Apple for its bankruptcy and a bankruptcy judge ordering GT Advanced's bankruptcy papers unsealed despite Apple's protests.
Biggest company in the world just punched little guy in the nose. Bleeding pretty good but the nose isn't broken, yet! This board predominantly wants to believe the Big guy missed when he obviously didn't. Serious damage done to many by far and gold struck by only a few back in september...and Big Head!
$5- ka ching! Thx. lmao.
real active twitter account! Joe sux! .he has no choice but to set up a liquior stand next to the rv storage. He sold us a "bridge"! His brother sux. Fluffers sux!
maybe they're just pissed investors who've lost $1000's.
How can anyone say this could be good. I'm seein a little constant dick trickle to the down side. The volume is a totally absurd train wreck. The only ones interested in buyin are us posters. And I'm brainless!? Less than $1,000,00 traded today. Since BK, This is looking more and more like a tragedy for the longs.....PENNYLAND play at hand as of late.! Hope it changes soon. Still all in only bcause I'm a techy. High stakes gambles are never good!
it seems that mostly GTATQ is "Authorized" VERSES directed or required to pay them. Does BK 11 usually say NO PAYMENT? If GTATQ does settle the bills, then I believe this is good. Have these "vndors" been paid yet? sorry, corrected typos. Thanks for the input.

the article link is 4/5 of the way down.
Shattered, cracked or spider webbed! . Apple 6 was dropped from stomache height on its back onto gravel. I have first hand experience with "spider webbing", TWICE. I'm not sure how many times insurance will pay for replacement. I bet apple is pissed that GTAT wasn't successful. Now it seems apple will make gtat pay severely for billions in lost revenue.
GTAT and ARC. Woo.ARC Energy Is Trying To Step On GTAT's Throat
http://www.forbes.com/sites/chuckjo...g-to-step-on-gtats-throat/?utm_medium=twitter
An interesting comment on that article from Jack White:
"It’s worth pointing out that Dr. Kedar Gupta, the CEO/Co-Founder of ARC Energy was formerly the CEO and Founder of GT Solar. GT Solar was the prior name of GTAT before the company bought Crystal Systems and their sapphire technology in 2010. Gupta served as CEO of GT Solar until he “retired” in 2006. Meanwhile, Dr. Chandra Khattak worked for Crystal Systems from 1977 through 2006, working on the ASF/HEM (Heat Exchanger Method) sapphire technology that Crystal Systems develop and improved for 30 years since CS Founder Fred Schmid invented the technology and founded CS in 1971. After CS, Khattak worked at GT Solar from 2006 until he was terminated in 2010. Note that he moved to GT Solar BEFORE they bought CS in 2010. A year after Gupta “retired” from GT Solar in 2006, he founded ARC Energy in 2007.
It’s also worth noting that GTAT and ARC are STILL in Litigation, as GTAT sued Gupta, Khattak, and ARC, for allegedly stealing IP, processes, etc from them and using it to start ARC. Khattak was also subject to a 10 year non-compete agreement for which he was paid $100,000. In the court documents, it says: “The Plaintiffs allege that CSI produced sapphire crystals for use in fabricating light emitting diodes which took 30 years to develop. They assert in their papers that neither Gupta nor ARC “could have discovered how to make high quality sapphire crystals without using CSI’s trade secrets.” The Defendants dispute that claim.”
In other words, GT alleges that Gupta left GT Solar, while they were already developing their Sapphire technology, and 1 year later came out with a competitor technology, but just like GT Solar, he found that Sapphire crystal growth is much harder than silicon which they had experience with, so GT Solar bought Crystal Systems 2010 and their 30+ years of development, IP, and experience. Gupta on the other hand just got Khattak to come over and used the same tech without owning or paying for it…allegedly.
However ARC developed the CHESS technology furnace which grows sapphire on the C-Axis. GTAT’s ASF/HEM technology grows sapphire boules on the A-axis…this is a HUGE difference as manufacturers need the C-axis to produce LED’s and Cover Screens, etc., so GTAT customers must core the ingots from the side of the boule, while ARC’s customers, take cores from the top down which is obviously much better. The difference is that ARC’s CHESS tech furnace allows about 75% material utilization per boule, while GTAT’s ASF Furnaces yield no more than 30% or so. GTAT’s advantage was that their Furnaces were larger, producing much bigger boules (115kg vs 35kg), but if this is true that ARC has now created a 300kg furnace than that is a game-changer. GTAT would be selling a furnace that produces 262kg boules with a 30% material utilization rate versus ARC Energy’s offering of 300kg with a 75% material utilization rate. In affect GTAT would be selling 78kg’s of usable material (262x 0.30) versus 225kg’s (300 x 0.75) of usable material."
perhaps a couple shallow down days and then another....POP!
We need to see, today, at least the number of the beast.
apples' fidelity to suppliers is always questionable. Aapls' like a latter day saint with many divorices! DD courtesy of IHub.
The DD you and others link is appeciated very much. I really enjoy learning and attempting to decipher the vast fireworks. But mostly i need my momo back....then some. Still all in.
Averaged down to the high pennies...still in the medium pennies....what. otc, stink pink..what.
Y would aapl want to join with discruntled management that vehemently hates' em. I think bridges have been burned, Appearance wise. Behind the sidelines however....
U Guys are Way too one sided to be good decision makers. Just keep picking. I still hope this becomes real instead of a penny play. Time will tell...impatiently waiting to recover.
lol. pick on me cause this is falling..boho. Optimists in pennyland always get burned. Go easy on the hype! The odds of this going through the roof is a huge gamble and nerve racking.
you mean do i get scared much...On this boad,YES! Come'on baby, don't make piss my pants!
ask still droppin........
I'm talking about the solar field that was supposed to power the factory. Has it been installed and is it functioning as planned.
Isn't the leading expense for boule production Energy. How is the solar field working out?
How do you cut sapp boules? I caught wind (this board) that a large GTAt expenditure was "diamond wire". Possibly used in the cutting process of boules. Perhaps AAple shot down the gtat hi speed process for whatever reason and the forced aapl option was unsustanible? Production quota couldn't be met, maybe GTAT already cut boules with the diamond (or cbn) wire and appl said shove it! Something bad happened and GTAT lost control. Propaganda also says GTAT has the "cleanest" sapphire in the business, and doesn't name the 3 leading competitors.
This is a great bet for absolutely no reason. I'm here - it make caveman feel smarter than "smart" guys with resources.
i think LDKYQ, STPFQ and probably RGSE. Solar plays, yicks!
that's a horrendous possibility and that's why this freak stock is a baby-sitting play. Is there another state of the art company leading in durable, clear, solar panel cell phone screens? If doable, the largest corps will scoop immediately. This factor can stonewall the Bk for myriad reasons.
o'tay, Paintie!
They'll be more convinced if this beast busts .94 again! Next week? Careful, that ballon is made of paper.
Ka-boom, maybe I'll call in sick to follow this one trick pony! Don't slow down now baby! Whatzzup! with negotiations!!
awesome word. Low interest and moving up for once! NOW LETS BURN BABY BURN!! Have a good weekend all.
I'm thinkin .. smart money has yet to get involved. Big boys are definitely lurking and chomping on everyword coming from the courts. GTATQ, at this point, could go either way. imo. pffffst. Hey X, "non-exclusivity for their sapphire" sounds like it could be "THE" bargaining chip.
I hope the cohi's or whatever don't work against us again today...or the next..
