Guy, I think the operative word here is "commercial". The problems with ZnSe in lasers (similar technology to LED) is discussed at
sciam.com
As far as I can tell the commercial blue LED market is dominated by GaN materials, whatever the substrate.
I've seen a more recent discussion but can't locate it now.
We probably should go to the Cree thread for this. I agree that there's minimal chance of LED or lasers making Cree a gorilla, but a King is possible. King is good <<gg>>

Thanks for stopping by, Guy, but I do wish you'd reserve your esoteric posts for an appropriate thread. I ususally welcome "experts" on G&K, but since you have such a low opinion of our approach towards investing, I'll make an exception in your case. I presume anyone interested in your analyses can find you on the Cree thread.

Prosperous investing,
uf

As for my opinion of the G&K "manual", I don't think much of it. The G&K thread spends most of its time trying to force-fit stocks into a pre-conceived diagram. Much more time is spent categorizing than analyzing.

Regarding lock on SiC: There is no other company that is producing commercial grade LED's in commercial quantities or is able to do the same without violating Cree's IP.

Cree is the enabler in SiC and has the lock. They are the gorilla.
