No news and (p'ing & m'ing) all week has let the daytraders & shorters once again be the moneymakers' this week.

A shame really.

I firmly believe putting as much DD on this site is a much better exercise. It helps to boost attitude and spirits rather than feeding the doubts that have been allowed to fester here.

Don't let the shorter and daytraders win!

I'd like to think that somehow Poet Technologies™ has a hand in this recent development.

cheers and best,

CAMARILLO, Calif., 17 July 2015. Opto Diode Corp. in Camarillo, Calif., is introducing the OD-110W GaAlAs near-infrared (IR) light-emitting diodes for night vision and surveillance applications.

The new near-IR light-emitting diodes (near-IRLEDs) feature a uniform optical beam with a typical peak emission wavelength of 850 nanometers and optical output of 140 milliwatts.

Designed for rugged applications such as harsh industrial environments or deployment in the field, these durable near-IRLEDs are housed in standard three-lead, TO-39 hermetically sealed packages and have gold plating on all surfaces. The four wire bonds are positioned on the die corners to minimize potential artifacts in imaging applications.

The chip size is 0.02 by 0.026 inches and all materials are RoHS compliant. Typical performance includes a half intensity beam angle of 110 degrees, forward voltage of 1.7 volts and rise and fall times of 20 nanoseconds each.
