Concerning ARTS and Dilution…

ARTS has a 52 week high of .26 per share. I must admit that I would ”NOT” have been paying .26 per share for ARTS. That’s no knock against ARTS, but there is much that is not in order for achieving their business objectives for growth that should be very apparent to all since ARTS is an OTCBB company.

Any stock that any of us buy within the market will experience some form of dilution… like it or not. Respectfully, if an investor cannot understand this, they simply should not buy any stock. They maybe should stick to mutual funds, particularly bond funds, to feel far more secure.

Please understand that there is rationale that I think all should understand about dilution within the markets and how it relates to a stock. Read the post below as the fundamental concept still applies to us here at ARTS:

It’s all about the percentage gains. Microsoft (MSFT) is trading at $25.78 per share. In order to get a double, MSFT has to hit $51.56 per share. Now I could be wrong, but which do you think will happen first as a double; MSFT hitting $51.56 or ARTS hitting .001 per share? Now we all know that MSFT is a far greater company than ARTS, but I personally won’t buy MSFT. I would rather risk losing every single dollar I have on a penny stock with more ”potential” for growth than a major market stock that is already soaked up into the ”Laws of Diminishing Returns.”

Companies like MSFT are stagnant in my opinion for what I am looking for as far as growth, but that’s just me. ARTS has more room for growth than MSFT. I already missed out on the growth spurt for MSFT although now achieved, it makes MSFT much more of a conservative investment. If that is what I or anyone was looking for, then we should go choose MSFT or companies like MSFT on the major exchanges for placing our money to invest/trade.

If you choose not to do so, then there are risks that are involved that whether you understand those risks or not, they will exist and continue to have repercussions to all those who take such risks. The market will not wait for anyone to catch up on that learning curve. There is much to explain on the matter, but here is a quick version for all to understand how I think those risks should be understood along with having an exit strategy for stocks:

I am not happy with all that has transpired here with ARTS, but I see it as a blessing in disguise because it has allowed me to buy shares at what I believe to be at a discount. As we all know, timing is an important variable within the market for success. I believe there to be more upside than downside considering their business objectives and where the price of ARTS is at now versus where it was. I think if a little more patience is exercised, the positive forces within the market will take care of itself here with ARTS.

I personally visited the company and spoke to the CEO. No, they did not pay me or hire me to promote the company or to speak good about the company. I saw things with my own eyes and heard things with my own ears to make the decision to see the company’s vision as an investor/shareholder. I do see the CEO’s vision for ARTS and I do believe in him. I think Eddie will transform ARTS into something very huge that will be mind boggling to many once the dust clears. For right now, I recommend for all to keep seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I think we are about to begin seeing that light to become brighter and brighter. I think we should exercise more patience and keep hanging tough. Cooler heads will prevail here with ARTS.
