    GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT +14.4%) enjoys a bump from Meyer Burger's earnings release, which said it expects demand for its solar equipment to rise substantially in 2013. That's good news for GTAT, which gets half its business from solar, Piper Jaffray says; the other half involves sapphire, which could get a boost if it gains use as a replacement for glass in mobile devices.

  • GTAT is a true investment. If you believe in the company and the long-term need for very efficient capital equipment GTAT is great play. It will be cyclic by definition. Applications for their technology could expand in the future. I added to my position under $5/share. If momentum continues today, I may add a little more.

    LONG: GTAT

  • Breathing easier. I've never sold, but I bought close to $13/share. If momentum continues, my family can go back to 3 meals a day.
