Both the daily and weekly charts are bullish. But don't think it will necessarily go straight up from here.
When I researched DDD and SSYS a few months ago, I preferred SSYS for reasons including pure focus on commercial (vs consumer) market, opportunity/catalyst from recent merger with Objet, lower short interest/relatively less volatile, lower P/E and PEG.
I've also taken a hit in the last couple of weeks but will be watching these closely as I have a good chunk on the sidelines at the moment.
I'm not sure if it's a temporary dip, or a trend. Those instruments are supposed to fall as interest rates rise.. but they seemed to fall pretty far given the relatively small increase in rates.
I did the research early in the year and have been out of the stock since March. Could be a more recent development.
I love SSYS video on how their Objet printers can be used in the dentistry profession. Now that I think about it, hey Dentist, what do you think of this? Would you find this useful? If not you, do you think the profession will embrace this over time?
Did you see their video of the little girl whose doctors print out parts for her "magic arms"?
They are falling because of future predicitions on rates not just the current move we have seen.
Currently i intend to just hold. My strategy going into these issues was just to capture their yield and maintain my principle.
Yeah, I've seen stories like this. Remarkable. There was a recent one on the front page of CNN that was about forming a custom tube to connect to the heart for a baby. The baby survived because of it. Awesome, awesome, stuff.
For some perspective on this, I had been investing in a fixed income asset of Goldman Sachs (symbol HYK). I had invested a chunk to get the 6% divvy, but then the stock appreciated over 10% in a 6 month period so I felt the need to cash out on half of it. The point is, even these fixed % assets will fluctuate and it's part of the game. The recent correction is the tip of the iceberg in terms of how much they can correct if you look at a 5 year history. If it's a long term place to park your money, I'd only worry if you bought well over par value.
From the numbers i've been watching, this seems like a good play. Bidu doing the same thing basically too.
I didn't mean to say I was buying apple, I'm using CRUS as a derivative since they earn 90% of their revenue off apple. I'm in at 18.12, down to 17.69 I hope it stays above 17.
It might work but I think it's risky. Look at their balance sheet. Assuming their property is worth what they claim, they have 100 million in equity and they are valued at what, 6 billion? If you believe the technology (I assume they make electric cars) is going to catch on then go for it but I could easily see it dropping to $75 and then lower. I am long QCOR but it is a good stock for a day trader. It has been extremely volatile this last month. Most days see 10% swings, some 20%. It is heavily shorted but the balance and income sheets are solid and good news is piling so it is trending up. Check it out.
It looks like a director Dennis Wilson has sold 160 million worth of stock in the last month. They still have a good cash to debt ratio, but a P/E of 35 is ugly. Cost average down at 61 and you will get back to even at 70. I wouldn't stay long term, lululemon is a yuppy fad.
Yeah as soon as it gets back or close to my original investment I'll be getting out
I think that in general, dentists and dental labs are fairly slow to buy new technology until there have been longer term studies on things in the field.
I sent this to an orthodontist friend.. his response:
Just sent you a tweet. Big announcement here in 5 min....
Yeah his point (as I understood it) was that the tapering talk is B.S. and eventually the FED will hit the gas again and this is going to be a good entry point.
Yeah, I've set a mental benchmark of $3.25 on EXK. I think I'll dip my toe in if it hits that. From production numbers, how much lower can silver go?
Who am i to tell you that's a bad idea? That said, If I have learned anything in here over the past two years it's to never try and catch a falling knife. You could have looked at the chart and made a similar statement several times between $11-$9, then again at $8 then $6.25 then $4.90 then $4.10.
Wouldn't it be something after 4 years of US Fed talk and the Euro Zone Debt crisis it was China that brought us all down. Jim Chanos right again?
