I've owned CREE for quite a while. Yesterday it was my biggest percentage gainer. I can't make any sense of the CREE price fluctuations. They maybe based on some mysterious cosmic vibrations, because for sure they are not based on news or any fundamental changes. IMHO,CREE is in a tornado, and is the gorilla of SiC semiconductors. They are not yet the gorilla of LED, but the eventual price advantages of using a semiconductor vs a non conductor should allow them to grow a bit of hair. Then there's all the future stuff SiC can be used for...
After watching tech prices crater recently, I don't use the word "safe" and "stocks" in the same sentence. If I was using margin I wouldn't use them in the same paragraph. Why take the chances of a large margin position? To do well over the long run in the markets you have yourself whether you are doing to get rich or to have an exciting experience.
I have no objection to a small margin position for fun, but it's hard to discipline yourself when the markets get euphoric. On this thread there are many examples of people who were able to give up their day jobs without resorting to the risks of margin.
