Societe General also upped ALU from 'neutral' to 'buy'.
Craig-someone (can't recall partner's name - never heard of them
before, in any case. put a $3.75 tgt on ALU.) I feel fortunate to
have doubled my position again yesterday, holding 9k shares total
now. Of course, given the current trend ($3, and now up
to $3.80) I'd like a bigger stake. I find it hard to convince
oneself psychologically to jump in further at a higher price -
given the long term prospects, it would be logical to do so. Given
that it went from about $3 to about $4 and back to $3 now risen to
$3.80, my previous buy at $3.84 only the next day to have it drop
to $3.40 was sobering. INFN revisited, in a more minor way.
Speaking of which, I saw a co called, I think, 'optophotoics' rise
18% based on margins rising from 20 to ~29%. Must be a small
player. Mini-INFN? Take out target? Who knows.
INFN continues its crazy beta dance - 17's to 20's back and
forth with no apparent drivers. Wish it had a 'rideable' cycle.
Reminds me of what Jester taught me, and Jon was doing on his own,
with ATVI while waiting for the takeover by Blizzard to be
consummated - every day was a profitable, tradeable cycle of
hi-low that continued for a good chunk of time, that almost never
failed to produce a daily gain.
In any case, while I mull whether to buy again here, or wait for
dust to settle, thanks to lt cap for the continual due diligence. A
real gift to the board, whether it comes out right, wrong,
indifferent.
OTOT I'm wondering why LGF has fallen, and it can't get up. They
seem to continue to make synergistic deals with other partners and
countries, while they seem to have lost the touch of success for
their big movies, which have surely disappointed in quality the
last couple years. Wonder if it's as simple as that. I'd like to
lighten considerably, as Jester's stance of only holding a possible
buyout bid of shares makes sense, but each time it has gotten
within range, I end up with the premium, but stock that then falls
considerably and languishes. Rinse and repeat - but the cycle is
too long to justify the position.
