I think the Yahoo board has been overrun by junior high school students. You can't even find any rational information without sifting through total BS, and it's been that way for this stock for a long time. This company is attempting to do things that take a long time, and it looks like progress is being made.
February pdf presentation:
I noticed PSID has this new presentation on there web-site that summarizes everything really well and includes pictures of devices:
http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/ABEA-3Y7P8E/1718161067x0x497237/2a57d70a-42be-4366-83ce-0ddcb26bfb65/PositiveIDInvestor_Presentation_Feb_2011.pdf
The link is now showing a blank white page. I searched M-band within their site at http://www.asmbiodefense.org/ last night and it was really there(?). It just showed that Microfluidics was scheduled to present on Monday. Sorry if they took the page off their site.
For some verification'
I looked for evidence of the presentation at the bio meeting and found this page http://www.abstractsonline.com/Plan/SSResults.aspx
on the ASM web-site. It looks like they gave a presentation on Monday. I would assume they've been occupying a booth and making contacts the rest of the time. Anyway, it was good to see some evidence that this thing is for real.
SPIE Photonics West 2012
Is anyone following the company at this presentation. Tomorrow is the last day. I hope they score on a good project there!
I found the paragraph:
from:ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K/A
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2011
"With the exception of certain Rock Band compatible products and other limited products, the majority of our current and historic product portfolio can be produced without a license from Sony. However, there is no guarantee that Sony will not alter their technologies to make unlicensed product offerings more difficult, cost prohibitive or impossible to produce. In the event that future Sony videogame platforms are developed or altered to become “closed systems” that cannot be reverse engineered, we would not be able to produce, manufacture and market accessories for those platforms without access to the applicable first-party proprietary information. Moreover, if Sony enters into license agreements with companies other than us for these “closed systems,” we would be placed at a substantial competitive disadvantage."
Again, I think this new licensing agreement looks like it deals
with the above mentioned contingincies and is a very positive thing.
I remember reading in the quarterly report that MCZ had historically been reverse engineering the Sony products and had more of a "gentleman's agreement" with them. Now this is no longer a concern. This licensing agreement is great news for future growth!
Atleast that's how I'm interpreting everything.
This stock takes patience because the turn over rate of shares is slow. However, it looks like the company is in a much stronger position now compared to last year at this time. I made money last year in this stock when psychological factors pumped oil up.
After the run-up I became worried about a hedging agreement that put a ceiling on the price of oil, and got out. Things are different now. It looks like there is no ceiling on the new hedging agreement and it protects the company only if oil prices crash. Also production is increasing.
A similar situation to last winter is brewing with fears of supply disruptions over seas. It's good to know that this time the company is growing regardless of how the over seas situation plays out. The biggest threat to oil prices appears to be a major crash of the euro, but I think this risk is over blown. I am back in now because the downside to the price per share is very small compared to the potential reward.
The only negative that I think needs some action is to get the word out to investors that this an oil stock, and that the natural gas part is only on the back burner. When you watch level 2 you can see that we need more new investors to come in. These are just some opinions and thoughts for discussion.
War Wings: Hell Catz
http://www.warwingsthegame.com/hellcatz/
This is one reason I'm not wanting to jump ship over the head set
delays. A version of this game could be developed for a more general non-pilot audience on the x-box.
Mad Catz has the resources to come out with a game that will be a big hit. The above is just an example of a potential hit. Also the premium head sets will still come out even if they miss the holiday. The only negative to some is this stock has lost appeal as a quick flip. I don't think that all bets are off and everything could turn positive when least expected.
Presentation last week for Goodyear is well worth listening to in my opinion: http://www.veracast.com/webcasts/citigroup/industrials2011/53109362.cfm
There isn't much discussion on the boards anywhere about this stock and this would be a good place. The presentation repeats the message from the last conference call that the company is still able to offset an increase in raw material costs. Also they are confident they will continue to be profitable, and they are growing
in emerging markets. This is my interpretation of what I heard anyway.
Great work
on new web-site! http://www.positiveidcorp.com/ I like how they feature the new products for bio-threats from Microfluidics as well as the more focused business model. I bought more today.
New "Applications Center" opening next month. I just noticed this page on the company web-site:
http://www.appliedenergetics.com/default.aspx/applications-center
I think the company now has great potential for future growth in the commercial arena.
Over 38 times the average daily volume traded today, and the price per share never really moved. I'm not experienced enough to know what happened but it sure is interesting!
LINK OF INTEREST:
https://buy.seaport.navy.mil/seaport/rpt_CR_ViewAdvancedPlanningReport.asp?EID=1
look at Package Number: PR N61331-11-NR-55028 in the middle of the page. The Banshee is mentioned in this. I read it to mean it's a servicing contract to be awarded in September. A poster on the Yahoo board had copied and pasted the info, and I went looking for a verifiable link. I'm hoping that a contract was awarded through L-3 to produce the new version, but don't know if this is an indication of that, or an indication that the old version will continue to be serviced.
I'm glad I wasn't watching today when it dipped down. I was watching level 2 early this morning and noticed a couple of large lots being sold. My guess is that Micro-Fluidic Systems needed more cash to get things rolling. They got 2,375,000 shares and could have been trying to sell some. Also, some investors may be panicking about a possible de-listing from NASDAQ, but I'm holding even if it goes to a lower exchange. The bio-threat devise is going to be very valuable and news-worthy with all the crazy people, floods, earthquakes and other disasters that don't seem to quit. Also, the devise that checks for blood sugar by analyzing the breath will be a revolutionary product if it's completed as planned. I hope the stock rebounds tomorrow!
Junior high-school students
have taken over the Yahoo discussion board. Since this may be a big turning point for the company, I'll keep looking here for ideas and information. I've traded this stock off and on in the past, but with this latest acquisition, I think it's a real opportunity and am holding my shares tightly.
Same as last time when small lithium stocks got popular, writers tied to the big chemical stocks wrote about how there's an over-supply,etc. I am hoping they are doing it for other reasons than to "help misguided small investors." It seems they are suggesting that future demand for lithium will not increase greatly.
I'm not selling now and choose to ignore their advise. However, I'm still wondering what caused a big group of people to start buying like crazy, and then dump it back in half. Maybe there were "pump" letters. I hope next week things turn back around.
LEVEL II
I don't know if anyone noticed but you can watch AMLM level II for free on this page: http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/AMLM/quote
I've been going to it every time the profit takers make me panic. It looks like we are pretty stable because there's not that many MMs getting ready to dump at low prices. Maybe there's someone out there that knows how to read and interpret Level II like an expert. I've only been doing this for two years.
I wonder what the costs are to actually get the boron out and for sale. According to the latest drill reports, it looks like the soil is close to 1% Boron. At about $2000 per pound of boron, in theory there is this amount in every 100 pounds of soil in the drill areas. From what I've been reading, there are many uses for the element such as in small operation gold mining as well as in nuclear reactor emergencies as you mentioned.
The above considerations are secondary to the lithium interest. I started thinking more seriously about lithium when oil got up above $100.00/barrel. Just some thoughts.
Huge buying volume today for this stock. I can't find any specific public information for the interest today. Does anybody know what's going on? I just jumped back in some.
Assume the position:
I've been assuming that every 10,000 shares I buy will be 100 shares some time in the short future. I like to own at least 1000 shares of a stock because every penny that the price goes up, I am "up" $10.00. When you own 100 shares it isn't that exciting to watch the real time streaming quotes, unless there's huge volume.
If I really believed that this will tank if a reverse split is approved, I would wait until it tanked afterwards, then buy up as many shares as I could. If I believe that the company is solid and growing, then now is the time to accumulated. I think the later option is the best choice, but who knows?
Amazing how dead this board is!
Is anybody out there? Nobody has mentioned the pilot programs in Texas and Florida on Yahoo. Also, I like to read posts from people with real public information to discuss. I hope somebody reads this some day and provides some input.
AXON PILOT PROGRAMS:
The two that caught my attention are Austin,Texas, and Cape Coral,Florida. Both have populations over 600,000. Here are a couple of links:
http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/local/Cameras-show-what-a-police-officer-sees
http://www.capecoral.com/content/cape-coral-police-department-hopes-new-technology-will-provide-officers-eye-view
I know there are more tests going on. As I stated previously, the combination of camera sales, plus membership to evidence.com could provide a more stable revenue stream plus reduce litigation for both the police and Taser International.
CONFERENCE CALL WAS GREAT!
I listened in Thursday. My opinion is this: Taser is slowly and carefully breaking out a new product for law enforcement. This will establish a revenue base and at the same time provide a strong legal defense for legitimate use of tasers as well as for other forms of engagement. Here's a link so you can see how the new product works- http://www.trutv.com/shows/police-pov/index.html
I want to say that in regaurd to the political and ethical considerations, the taser itself should be handled with great care. This is why I think the introduction of the axon video system will both prevent dangerous events from happening as well as to provide evidence as to what does happen. The company also introduced a new improved form of the taser. I heard the CEO say that things are seeming simular to when the company was first starting back around the turn of the cenury(not a direct quote). I have noticed several police departments in large population areas are currently testing the axon video system. This has the potential to really take off in my opinion.
My guess is an over-reaction to high cotton prices. In reality I'll bet the company can get away with passing on the expense with price increases since the typical buyer is "wealthy." Also last quarter did not include December 2010 sales. Maybe better results will come out of the next earnings call in a couple of weeks.
$1.02 is the book value per share. This seems to be a good buy at today's prices.
I agree. I'm mostly wondering what is still in place without American Physical Security Group, LLC. At this point I'm only holding a small amount; almost like a lotto ticket. However, it wouldn't be out of the question for the company to suddenly come back to life.
Available Credit was increased today per SEC filing. I started accumulating yesterday. With the mid-east situation, I was looking for a small and growing oil producing company based entirely in our country.
NEWS IS OUT:
It shows up on the Yahoo Finance page. Per today's news release, American Defense Systems sold their subsidiary, American Physical Security Group, LLC, in order to illiminate the prefered stock obligation.
My question is: What revenue sources and products remain with the company? Will they still install bullet-proof shielding and similar products? It looks like the Company is still in business and with this signal I bought in some today.
Does anyone know why VTSI traded around .12 between September 23 and September 25th,2009? I see a series of PRs starting with Lockheed. It seems that with the right conditions the stock can move even though it looks stagnated right now. Also the company is in reality in a far stronger position today. I just thought it would be interesting to consider what happened then, and why it can't happen again real soon.
At the end of September the IRS debt was $229,790. The company goal was stated in last quarter's report to pay this off during the first part of 2011. This is an intrinsic event that I am anxiously waiting for. I believe the IRS lien is currently a major road-block to both expansion and demand for the stock. Once the lien is removed, a good credit facility may become available. This will open the door to bid on bigger contracts, and the company will look more attractive to some investors. Taking on some debt is not always bad if it's timed right, but the availability of credit as a safety net is most important. Anyway, this may be why new investors are not currently flooding in droves (aside from the listing issue). These things are what have been ticking and talking in the back of my head lately.
Thank you for the response. I jumped back on board yesterday after a brief diversion. If the PE ratio average is about 40 for this industry, then things are still looking good and we are way under-valued. From the words in the CEOs recent release, it looks like revenues are keeping the same pace.
You are right! This is either something really big, or we have someone telling very tall tales. The associations with law enforcement, the military, and General Dynamics make me hopeful that it's not a big fairy tale. It seems you would have to be quite nuts to falsify things in front of this type of an audience.
But who knows?
*This is a real company with about 90 employees.
*The CEO recently spoke of two opportunities which I am hoping will turn this situation around. The biggest is where he said they are waiting for clearances with foreign governments to proceed with some big time contracting. The second was their exclusive right to sell a flame retardent to the U.S. Marines.
*I have been watching for an entry point and jumped in last week. *The biggest problem seems to be what is owed to the prefered share holders. At least these are not bond holders or a bank. I don't think bankruptcy will happen.
*Finally it looks like they still have work to keep them going for a couple of quarters with current contracts.
Are there any other signs of hope?
"Going Public"
what terminology is right for the first time a company sells it's stock to the public? They bring in money. After that the stock is sold in a secondary market between outside traders.
My Questions and Thoughts:
LEI went public in June 2005: How much money was brought onto the company's balance sheet from the IPO?
Since the IPO, how much cash may be remaining from these stock sales?
LEI has a base business which includes consulting and other laser unit/laser product sales. Is this part of the business profitable? They do have experienced council in the opthimology area. Do the new related products have future sales potential?
What if the Dazer Laser wasn't there at all? Would the company still have a future?
The General Dynamics relationship keeps me on board even though I have to guess about what the actual balance sheet looks like. Has anyone followed all the PRs about financing and sales over the last 5 years in order to formulate an educated guess?
On the pink sheets, they could get upgraded to Pink Sheets Current Information. This would be the next step before a move to the big boards.
I am holding, even though investors have jumped ship. Many of the people dumping their shares are day trader types wanting
immediate gratification. I still think it's a good gamble.
I just started a position in this stock because it appears undervalued and largely undiscovered. The float is only about 50 million with this low price per share, and they are making money. It's not easy to find a company with 37 million in revenue in a quarter and turning a profit at only 61 cents per share. I listened to the latest conference call, and it sounds like management is positive about continued growth. Someone that knows the company and the video game business in general should take over as moderator and get this board buzzing! The PE ratio is currently small compared to other companies in the industry. This stock has a PE ratio of 6 while the industry average is 40. To me, this means that it would be a $4.00 per share stock if investors gained full confidence in it's future growth potential(.10 12 month trailing eps x 40 = $4.00.)
Where did you get the information: "Andes Gold Corp. expected to report Q3 2010 results on November 18, 2010."? I was just curious because that would really bring this stock back to life. Volume has been pretty good lately, but verifiable news will get new investors interested.
CEO PURCHASED 50,000 SHARES AT .079 TODAY.

Thank you for this sign of hope! I was getting worried after today's blood bath of panic selling.
