Great article. Thanks for posting it. I don't remember reading getting alerts about their 8k issuing common shares.
Finally someone attempts to analyze WTF is going on with
this stock. I was so thrilled with the future of ALSK that I
bought in at $2.42 and watched as it ran up to $4 and then
back down to $1.55 without lifting a finger. Each day I kept
saying it simply can't go any lower, and the second I sell
and turn my computer off it will rocket back up and I will be
kicking myself for losing faith. This article at least shows I
am not alone in feeling ALSK, with it's 300 towers obtained
thru the merger, has little to fear from VZ. This is the first
mention I have heard concerning the Alaska weather having
an adverse effect on competition from satellite companies.
As anyone with DirecTV knows, snow crystals block signals
and clouds full of ice are pretty routine much of the year in
AK. As usual the delay SA takes to publish outdates any
share price at the time the author submits.

No other talk. I think shorts covering. Bummer retrace today.
Nice couple of days, eh? It's good to see some upward movement for a change! Good volume on Tuesday, too.
I had mentioned on Friday that the bottom might be between 1.60 and 1.77. It got down to 1.82 and reversed. Hope this is the start of better times for ALSK.
Any other theories on other boards why it's been up the past 2 days?
In a conversation today someone said there is fear Verizon is making push into their territory and that's why the drop. Doesn't make sense to me.
I think you're correct, Interloper. I was looking at the chart/historical prices earlier today. My guess is that the low will be somewhere between 1.60 and 1.77.
There's no way ALSK should be sitting so low right now at 1.92. But, it is what it is. I don't know if it will touch the 1.70's and rebound quickly or if it will sit in the 1.60 - 1.70 range for a while. But, one thing for sure, the bottom is near.
No end in sight for the pounding ALSK is getting. Could go to $1.70 looking at the weekly chart.
I can't think of one good reason. This stock should be at least 3 times higher than its current value!!!
Yeah, I know, its what I was expecting.So why is it tanking?
This was a remarkable earnings figure!!!!Net income per share: 2.55
Basic 2.55
Diluted 2.09
how did that go!
Wonder if this will run the same way it did after earnings in August.
ALSK earnings report for the third quarter 2013 shortly after markets close Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013. The company will host a conference call and live webcast at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time to discuss the results.
This for me a long hold
One more income stream. Might not make a diff right now but it will down the road.

Why is that ?
My IRA account is looking very nice i like the way is going up nice and slow
Natural progression. run, pull back, run, pull back.It retraced right back to support.
Back on 8/1 we had a gap up from 2.56 to 3.15. That was a bullish signal, and confirmation came with the piercing pattern formed between 8/2 and 8/3. then it went up to 3.9, an increase of almost 80 cents.
Now it is normal that people would start selling at this point, easy profits. So it will go down to the gap, which becomes now support. Moreover, the price caught quite a bit of air above the sma20 on 8/12, so it was expected to come down.
So I expect a turnaround at the gap level (around $ 3), we already have 4 red candles in a row, 5 if you count the doji, it's time for a reversal.
I would say, wait until tomorrow (8/20) and if we get a green candle forming a piercing pattern with today's candle, it's time to enter. Watch that volume, it's picking up, more than double since yesterday. If things go by the book, in a few days it could go back up to 3.8, then maybe people will start selling again.
At least that's what I can read from this chart, if my understanding of candle charts is correct.
It is absolutely criminal what they are doing to bring down
the pps of this stock. There is no justification except greed
to destroy the value of this company now that they are out
of the woods, so to speak. I sold 1/3 at the peak just because
I had too much concentrated in one sector, but I guess I
should have sold it all and bought back later.
Booooring. Too much more of this and ill be in the red here. Lame. Still holding for z long haul.
Sold. .25 is party time.
Party riviera Palm Springs..much better time..Vegas is lame played out
Good to hear a true longs perspective. Im long myself, but a newbie..been around for 3-4months and have accumulated a grand worth so far. Will be doubling that by next Q and hopefully more, but I do have alot of confidence going forward for sure.
Is the party gonna be in Vegas or what?
Bro...I've been around for many years in that stock..the company and the fundamentals are like no other..although the curse if the OTC applies and the sp is fing ridic. Fundys always prevail at the end..just patience.
Gotcha. I just make sure to say something if a frequent positive poster suddenly gets axed....if anything just to stir the pot lol.
Hey bud...I don't know what fills smokin' I have never worked two aliases. I say the same s he says yet I'm the bad guy..lol. He was mad about the current delay bs, and so was i...weve always been on the same page...he's a strange one..lol try not to pay too much attention. I won't pretend to be good with what's going on if there's a bunch a bull s I'm being fed; he's the same way..but when I say it, it's foul play. lol
Yeah, I think the pps is still undervalued. It was trading 4+X p/e before the quarterly that started this run and the eps was negative. Completely different now. $5 seems more fitting than $3.44 right now.
Yea im still green as well, but the pullback is a suprise. Perhaps the next updatewill get us moving again. If it dips diwn too far ill have to add a few more. Still love this long term but its boring right now.
Yeah...what is going on here? I was getting used to the uptrend. I'm in too low to sell now, but hate seeing the profits decline.
It really looks that way doesnt it. Volume picking up here too. Any spike in volume sends this higher instantly down to the minute. I like it. Scooped another 50shares for the heck of it. Mine as well add to the pile while its under 4 then sit back and enjoy the show IMO. This will be in my portfolio for years to come. Gltu.
ALSK
I think ALSK will bust through $4.50 this week! Over $5 next week
I wish I woulda stumbled on it sooner. Got most of mine at 3.1.
Oh yeah! I've been holding since $1.7099 and I won't be letting go for quite some time. I just wish I would have had the foresight to buy more at the time.
Hold here for a great weeK! Expected some profit taking after such a strong run.
