Hey Kirk, quit reminding me about GTAT. I placed it firmly in the rear view mirror.

technology that was NEVER proven.

The technology was proven because sapphire is being used in almost all high end watches as well as some new phones coming out from Taiwan.

I fault the President of GTAT for signing off on a contract with Apple that was 99% in Apples favor..These was simply no downside for Apple. The least GTAT could have done was to insist that Apple purchase all the sapphire they produced.

I lost some money on GTAT (I did have a ten bagger going on most of my shares)

I made a lot of it up with my ten bagger on SUNE..

I expect to do well with my positions on ALU, MU HPQ and INTC.

If I do well prior to croaking my favorite charities will smile.

If I do poorly they will have less to work with.

In either case I will still be croaked.

In my opinion wealth is more a "State of Mind" and not much related to bank book size.
