No more fucking around for me; it’s not a game anymore.

Into weakness, I will add to my GLW position. LCD sales are ripping and manufacturers are bitching about supplies. My guess, margins are improving for the world’s #1 maker of glass substrates.

Also, with inflation back on the radar, I am feeling better than ever about my FTK, WNR, SD and FSYS positions. If I was not fully invested in the sector, I’d buy more here.

For longer term oriented holdings, I will add to both IR and GME—today—fuckface.

For small cap fun, I like RFMD, SFE, CROX and SiFY.

Now go play with some marbles in the middle of a busy freeway.

    Chivas:

    Honestly, do you really think it matters a great deal that the 30 year mortgage rate has backed up 21 basis points when the principal amount has fallen 40%. Seriously this is how it looks on simple interest.

    previous
    $500,000 rate 7% interest component repayment $35,000

    Now

    Before the back up

    500,000 *60% = $300,000 interest component (5.24%) $15,720

    After the back up

    300,000 interest component (5.45%) 16,350

    Net difference is an entire $630

    Are you kidding me.

    Here’s the thing, no one gives a shit about the interest rate back up even if rates eventually made their way 100 basis points higher.

    the principal value has been cut almost in 1/2.

    What makes all the difference to housing is the overhang workout and jobs prospects going forward.

    FLY,

    what do you think of the new OLED technology??

    HowStuffWorks.com describes Oleds as solid-state devices composed of thin films of organic molecules that create light with the application of electricity. “They can provide brighter, crisper displays on electronic devices and use less power than conventional light-emitting diodes or LCDs used today.”

    The technology promises a future with TVs and computer monitors that are not only much thinner and lighter, but which can be folded away or even, believe it or not, embedded into clothing or newspapers.

    The technology is not in the realm of science fiction and should become used in everyday consumer electronics products in the next 24 months. It could also be standard-issue technology in new flat-panel TVs within the next three years. Oled technology is likely to find a market first in smaller electronic devices, with unconfirmed rumours suggesting the next version of Apple’s iPhone will have an Oled screen.

    Not smarting at all. The mandate in the PPT was clear with 3:1 in favour of Jake. The culture of this site prefers Jake as a tabbed blogger and I’ve enjoyed his quality writing, as long as it’s about equities and not politics. This is not a site, imho, to go brandishing about one’s libertarian jingoism – it’s about banking coin regardless of the external circumstances.

    I was simply commenting on Jake’s “rare intraday” note.

    While Fly aims to increase this site’s ratings, the problem is that the vast majority of the tabbed space STILL blogs before or after market hours.

    CA and Alpha being notable exceptions and most of CA through his commenting on his trades.

    Indeud. Thanks, Henry.

    Looking at where DVAX was before the clinical hold was put in place, and the fact that only one subject suffered adverse event, puts the risk-reward in DVAX’s camp. If anyone else came down the problem, zero. It either goes to zero or it goes to $2-3 on immediate short-covering, and maybe to its pre-clinical-hold levels if the FDA’s feeling generous. At $1, and with the new data from the PHAST study, I like those odds.

    Disclosure: Long DVAX.
