LDK ... an overreaction short play?

Knowing China stocks, this may have fallen too hard on 'no' news really, and could see some quick profits"

Aligator said: "You have to smile at it all, don't you? [QUOTE]A former employee of wafer whiz LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK) has accused the company of inventory-reporting shenanigans. The discrepancy that's been cited would equate to an overstatement of about 33%. The company has taken a few actions in response. It made sure to note that this individual, hired as a financial controller, was fired after he didn't show up to work for about a week. This ought to help cast doubt on the claim by creating the image of some sort of jilted, slacker employee. More substantively, the company has conducted a physical inventory check, and contracted an independent party to do the same. The latter is obviously the most crucial to regaining credibility. It's somewhat amazing to see how much damage has been done to LDK's stock price by a hint of management impropriety. This is an unfortunate part of investing in a business on the other side of the world. When uncertainty is in the air, that wafer factory starts to feel very, very far away -- if, indeed, there is a factory. (Cue ominous music.) That right there is the psychology of fear at work.[/QUOTE]"

squarepusher said: "another 25% drop today, I am betting that there is no discrepancy in inventory, and will buy now at their July prices."

squarepusher said: "[QUOTE=TimberSeal]Another Alternative Play :th_coolio: AMSC - American Superconductor Although you just missed the run[/QUOTE] ya, looks like a great run it had. I think any price around $35 is good really. This was $76 2 weeks ago, I predict it will be somewhere near those levels again ,,, within 1 month. What i will probably end up doing is place an order with TIIIIGHT stop tommorrow, like 1% stop, then if it breaks through that stop, place another order when i think it has settled"
