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.

PAST TOP PICK
(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.

PAST TOP PICK
(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.

PARTIAL SELL
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.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
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.

PARTIAL SELL
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.

PARTIAL SELL
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.

PAST TOP PICK
(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.

COMMENT
Loves it. His price target is $175 and only in December it was in the $80s, nearly doubling since then. Everything is coming together for OLED, as reflected in their recent report. Smartphone makers love OLED's technology on their screens. OLED gets a royalty for every iPhone or Android sold. Buy this around $110-120 during the volatility that is certain to come this year. Remember, in 2018 we had eight corrections.

BUY
They own the patent for a new type of display screen on smartphones. So, they receive royalties. Apple, Huawei and Samsung will be using OLED screens by 2020. It's been volatile the last few years, because it's taken time for the manufacturers to incorporate these new screens. But a year from now, OLEDs will be all the talk. High-$80's is a bargain; sell in the high-$110's. He has $150 price target. A core holding for him.

Patent on cellphone screens, from which they collect royalties. Good business as long as the patent goes on.
