Better check yours its going back down with no sustained buying pressure. It was nothing more than a minor technical breakout from a very big triangle.
This is a scam stock. I made a few grand on this back in 2007. Never thought it would still be around in 2014.
Anyone have some good info about this company? Picked up ~200 shares the other week. Are they having sustained growth sales or just a few large batches here and there if they get the right endorsement on a youtube video?
Another day, another bogus post from Bert. Do you know how many of these videos I've seen since 2008? The deck is stacked against metals. We will dip to $18 soon.
Which is why it shouldn't be a significant portion of your portfolio either. I love metals, but the deck is stacked against them.
I've nailed SLV for years on this board. The "MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON" is a lot further away than you previously thought.
Back down the tubes you go silver. Hope you bought some puts Friday. Silver isn't even keeping pace with inflation recently. Markets are flooded with physical. Don't get caught holding the bag.
Margins will get squeezed as LED commoditization occurs. Cree also has A LOT of competition both domestically and internationally. Other LED makers are already starting to lower prices closer to the ~$20 price point. Cree would have to produce something technologically revolutionary to keep their edge. There is no way they keep EPS at 70 thru Q4 or even Q3. Their best shot at making tons of money is a buyout.
You're right that the human eye doesn't really notice and that I referenced L80 with the 20% decline but it hits L70 not to long after. Some lumen depreciation is actually fairly linear. Induction lighting doesn't have a knee in the curve until its about to die. Some lamps such as metal halide are basically straight down. LED's shouldn't go past 90% before 20K hours.
I have tested all the major LED brands as I am a category manager for a very large bulb retailer. We test everything we stock, as well as, our competitors products. The brands you listed actually all better performance ratings according to our testing, some by a lot, some by an inch.
Cree sucks. I've done independent testing of multiple Cree bulbs and they lose 20% of lumens in just 3000 hours. It shouldn't hit L70 until 25K hours. eeeeeeeesh. Sub-$30 by January.
I remember when everyone was saying $100 back in 2011. Its been at $20 for over a year. Metals aren't even keeping pace with anything. Not so sure its a good investment. I actually bought a put on GLD earlier. SLV puts were too expensive.
Hey Bert remember when you kept saying to the moon and then it never happened? I love coming back years later and saying...I told you so.
You guys still stacking?
Can I say that I was right or is that bragging?

Metals getting crushed, I guess Prechter was right.
The velocity of money will increase eventually whether its due to new growth or the $1 trillion in bank reserves being released.
Traders tend to be wrong more than they do right. I'd go with the contrarian approach.
Yeah it looks like its time to get in short.
This baby is pretty damn tight right now. Which way does it go? I'm thinking up, up, and away.
Remember when I said we about to form a higher low? So much for that downtrend theory you had bud.

Actually its forming a higher low on the weekly and daily right now.
Is this the start a higher low on both daily and weekly charts?
Markets are topping. Any major decline in equities WILL drag down commodities. I don't make the rules, its just how it works.
Not looking good guys. Shorting the overall market might be a pretty good idea.
Last debt ceiling debacle ended with a 15-20% decline in almost everything.
That article is from a year ago.
I have a feeling we finally reached the point where its time to breakout. Time will tell.
Technically Dec 31st was the debt ceiling date. They've already run out of money. The whole "fiscal cliff" was originally the debt ceiling but the media is inept at understanding basic concepts and misguided the public into thinking it was something else.
Paul Krugman, the liberal economist who pens a widely read column for the New York Times, on Monday joined the calls for the U.S. to mint a $1 trillion platinum coin as a way around the debt ceiling.

Start of a new run is coming. FINALLY! Let see what antics they have coming to suppress price.
Retailers don't purchase inventory with declining demand. Sorry, operations management 101.
As the US mint website reports, the very first day of 2013 saw a whopping 50,000 gold ounce sales, and another 7,000 on the second, which is nearly the entire amount sold by the mint in December, and just shy of half in all of January 2012.

Excess liquidity it what causes inflation, not the other way around. Market forces push the excess liquidity out of the system by pushing prices towards an equilibrium between the supply of money and demand for goods. Also, the money is printed, you can't exactly un-print money that has been parked in MBS and treasuries.
Bond bubble + end of QE = Look out below!
Ill admit, its hard to imagine that they ever stop printing with another $3.7T coming down the pipes but I just dont see any bullish areas.
