(More Than) Doubling Down on LDK Solar (LDK)

TweetThis
LDK Solar (LDK) issued a statement overnight - as always take with grain of salt and I think this will cause some overhang for a while in the name, but I do appreciate the company being able to understand that it needs to get out ahead of this situation and issue a prompt response. Many companies in the US don't even get this. Those darm communists are better capitalists than some capitalists.

For the long run unless this company is a work of fiction and the constant stream of contracts it announcements (just yesterday it announced a 3 year, $224 million contract) are all shams, this seems like a nice buying opportunity. The stock has dumped all the way down to its 50 day moving average (below $54) in fact, and I think in 6 months this will be a prudent buy. In the near term, hard to tell.

I am taking the LDK Solar position to about 4.15% of the fund (from 1.3% yesterday) and will let the dust settle, and see how the market reacts.

LDK back in free fall... yow. Out of personal position but no way to set stops in Marketocracy fund - or if there is I haven't seen it yet. Looks like 40-45 is the next key area of support. Yow, what a stock, it closing in on a 2:1 split the hard way.

I am not getting the TSL weakness though in association with LDK. If it were the whole sector I'd understand but why is TSL thrown out with bathwater of LDK. Strange.
