3D printing companies have had a great run, and as a result, their insiders are cashing in by doing additional public stock offerings and private placements. Examples are ONVO (Organovo) and SGLB (Sigma Labs).

The moderator has probably made a ton of money holding these stocks for the last year or so, and he seems to have a tendency to look at 3D Printing Stocks thru rose colored glasses since he is long many of the ones he comments on. This is not a condemnation, just an observation from my point of view.

Arcam (profitable) appears to be one of the better stocks out there, but when the whole sector is overvalued (high P/Es across the board), investors should be wary and maintain tight stops. Even so, it will be almost impossible to prevent damage to the portfolio when the companies offer cheap stock to their insiders and special connections thru private placements (like SGLB certainly did).

Disclosure: Currently own no 3D Printing Stocks. Lost a little on SGLB recently; made a little on ONOV in the past. Quite honestly I just don't see the sector as suitable for "value investors" like myself.

Good luck!
