Dead money for a couple of months?
Great run, fully priced. Screens for iPhones, TVs, and laptops. With virtual reality a trend, it's getting into headsets. King of the hill on technology, no lack of demand. To add, do it in thirds at $200-205, $190, and in the $180s.
(A Top Pick Dec 12/18, Up 60%) He hit the bull's-eye here. These are organic LEDs. It was a tech play and did quite well on the bounce back. OLEDs are malleable. Curved LED TVs and foldable smart phones. This company provides licenses to companies that want to use the technology.
One of his favourites. In his top 5 holdings. Price target is $175, so we're close. Took profit the last 2 days. Down to a 5% position from 7%. They have the royalty on smart phone screens. Most of the screens are going to OLED screens. But it is volatile. It's not a buy and hold, you have to actively manage it.
They are the suppliers of the organic screens. They get royalty on the new screens. They are popular because the old screens had up to 20 layers and the new ones only 3. The benefit is that it allows them to put more power and tools as the screen is not taking that much space. They sold just yesterday as it is close to their $170 target. He would buy at 1/3 at $150, 1/3 at $130 and 1/3 at $110.
It's close to its 2018 high. You can take profits now if you're worried. Nice move on a crappy day today on the markets. Its 200-day moving average is $119.44. All indicators point up. You can hold.
They have smartphone screen technology royalties for an OLED screen. Prior to this technology screens were made of a dozen layers. Today's phones are only 3-4 layers -- much clearer display. He was a buyer down from $120 to $90 and a seller above $150. This is not a buy and hold stock, but a good one to trade. The price of $170-$180 appears to be a ceiling. He thinks you will be able to by into it again around $145.
If you bought this at the start of the year, then take some profits. It's been up this year. However, it's had a double-top (late-2017) and so could fall back to $170. This is volatile. Sell half and hold the rest long-term. Also, if it breaks below $170, it could fall to $130, based on the 200-day moving average.
He loves it, but he's actually not in it now. He sold it around $205-210. Its problem is there's a lot of competition entering this space. They own the royalty on all OLED screens. There are better opportunities elsewhere.
(A Top Pick Dec 12/18, Up 107%) OLEDs will be everywhere, these screens. Every cell phone provider will make foldable phones--which need OLED screens. And there are other applications--OLEDs will kill lightbulbs. OLEDs can bend and go almost everywhere. The technology is everywhere. It will become more common, cheaper and efficient. The PE ratio is really high now, so you're banking on explosive growth in the future, but he feels that explosion will come. Adoption of OLEDs will rise as the price declines.
(A Top Pick Dec 14/18, Up 109%) Makers of screen technology out of Idaho. Their technology shortened the width of the screen, which allowed manufacturers to add more technology in the same phone body. He sold out at $207. It will give another opportunity to buy in, but there is more competition coming.
