currently on sale folks! $16.70s as I type this. FYI.


Damn. Missed it. Though I need it in the low $16s, high $15s before I buy more. My average cost is already low enough.

For all the worriers about this company

Update (New Partnership)

Marketsinsider

quote:

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WPG Americas Inc. (WPGA) a subsidiary of WPG Holdings, the largest global electronic components distributor, announced today a new partnership with KEMET Electronics Corporation, a manufacturer of the world's most complete line of surface mount and through-hole capacitor technologies.

"This agreement with KEMET continues our commitment to providing the latest capacitor technologies and electromechanical solutions to our expanding customer base," said Rich Davis, President of WPG Americas. "KEMET's product portfolio is second to none and we are excited to add them as a focus supplier on our line card."

"KEMET's vision is to be the preferred supplier of electronic component solutions for customers demanding the highest standards of quality, delivery and service and we're excited to be working together to deliver this with WPGA," said Fernando Spada, Vice President, Sales – Global Distribution at KEMET.


I haven't seen much beyond this press release, but this is good for KEMET as WPG Holdings is one of the largest semiconductor distributors. Depending on when it starts, this could help KEMET with the earnings later in the year--assuming they are expanding capacity.

Good news with the partnership.

This stock is so volatile, I been trading it around picking up a couple hundred dollars where I can. I bought back in at $18 just now for 250 shares.

have been watching it since I got in, and I have to disagree. I'll check the numbers but it can't be that much more volatile than the market has been overall.

Maybe not but up $1 down a $1.50 has helped me pick up about $300 or so in profits just buying and dumping this stock over two weeks. It’s not much but better than just riding it out. I’ll stay in now for a while.

All my market losses from being an idiot have now been recouped.

You sweat it out over such small amounts. Not sure if that is good or bad as everyone has their own style.

I admit I gamble a lot on certain things so I don't sweat too much over a few hundred here and there. Hell, I bought $22K worth of SPX calls on the dip 30 minutes ago and will buy more if it dips more.

Stout, I’m up $50 overall and feel like I won the lottery after being down $550 three weeks ago.

There is no victory at this point that is too small.

New marriage. Paying off debt, trying to figure out what our monthly expenses will be. Other responsibilities.

We are keeping a lot in cash reserves at the moment. I have about 5K thrown in just for me to play with.

My wife is still under the assumption that the stock market is gambling. She isn't business or financially inclined. So every $50 we up, I make sure to tell her.

$50 ain't shite but it makes her mind settle.

Someone explain a little more what exactly KEM does, why they are positioned to be good and what they do that puts them ahead of competitors in their field

I'll buy a story, I just need to know what the story is

They make flux capacitors for cars. They are the leading market holder but recently have maxed production. Since, they have made many strategic partnerships.

Surprised they aren’t getting hit along with the auto stocks today.
