About to take an initial position in CREE. Thought I'd throw a little light on the significance of WTI: Video displays create pictures from red-green-blue (RGB) triads. From these three primary colors, all other colors can be created, including white - if you doubt this, take a look at your TV picture from about 3" away. WTI is planning to create a global network of active billboards - i.e. huge video displays. They are obviously planning to do this using LED clusters. While red and green LEDs have been around a long time, blue LEDs are very new (duh). What does all this mean? HUGE demand for blue LEDs - you need a helluva lotta LEDs to make a billboard-sized video display. If you've seen Blade Runner, you've seen the future for WTI and CREE. This could be a retirement stock.
