/images/graemlins/grin.gif...cree about 25/sh real big in light emitting diodes; and has other tech items in the pipeline...

the company is making money:

remember: the holy grail of energy saving is led's which emit light and virtually no heat and use very little electricity (energy)


jmho

scalf, why do you think this is a good stock for the long term?

[scalf]

/images/graemlins/grin.gif cree makes led's which will be used more and more especially as energy costs increas...also heavy into big rectifiers; big potential downside is family has has a feud; but lately that has been patched up.

as i said in last post; cree is a profitable company...best guestmate i have is pe of about 18 at new years 2006

25/sh;;buy 400; it'll be a million in ten years; <maybe>; but hard to find a good argument for bankruptcy; they manufacture and sell products in deman with a 50% margin

/images/graemlins/smile.gif for example; sniper; on fri sept 2, 2005, cree announced it was now two years ahead of it's plans for intensity from led's; even though it was using much the same technologl..

in other words: light emitting diodes create a very high lumen output per mA of current; you get a lotta light for little energy; think consumers might be interested??

This one looks really good. Bought some on Tuesday.

There's a good chance LEDs of some form will completely replace incandescent bulbs in the next 10 years. CREE is the market leader in terms of technology, and they'll be the ones to make LEDs bright enough and cheap enough for the consumer market. Until that day, they've still managed to keep market share and stay profitable in a commodity business, competing against low-cost East Asian manufacturers. IMO that really demonstrates the company's capabilities.

Seriously, with their growth prospects, this company should be trading at a 40 P/E. It is stupid cheap right now. I see very little downside and potentially huge gains.

Except that actual growth (LTM this Q vs last Q) is slowing way down and is almost flat. Good company, the market just doesn't believe your LED outlook.

I notice pundit Fred Hager is very big on this stock and has been for some time.

I take it you think the market overreacted to Katrina's impact on MRH? Looks like they're expecting a $450M-675M hit, on a company that has $200M in cash and $200M/yr in revenues. They're going to have to do some heavy-duty borrowing or issue new stock.

There's probably some point where it would get cheap enough to buy, but that would be when the price/book, including the Katrina damage, was around or below 1.

Am I missing something?

[scalf]

yup

just cause hitler liked wagner; don't make it bad music..
