The Mousetrap advantage has now been completely consumed by the Solyndra debacle’s effect on GTAT. The fundamentals remain strong, and the money flow has not supported the downward price move. So, there’s nothing to do but wait.

The only opinion that matters tomorrow, of course, is Bernanke’s – but only for the short term. Long term I don’t think there is any positive move he can make.

But my opnion doesn’t count tonight or tomorrow.

It’s Ben’s move now. I’m hedged, so it doesn’t much matter what he does either way…
