There is no site that reports naked illegal shorting stats.
If there was no short position, why would there be a 5 year smear campaign. All day every day, including weekends.
36 share sell off. That is a $10 trade before commissions!

Seems solar and wind development is still very much a hot sector.
I picked 15 random companies as comparison to AWSL. surprisingly. the filings did not indicate the CEO is buying throughout every quarter as someone said they do. In fact quite the opposite. 9 of them filed 144 sale notices.
I am pretty certain they did not finance there employers like AWSL management did to the tune of millions of dollars in non dilutive, shareholder friendly preferred shares. Also postponing there salaries until the company have ample resources. Talk about putting there money where there mouth is.
Finally I also noticed that the average CEO of a publicly traded company is $10 million. From what I see it appears the AWSL CEO makes less than $200,000. Wow sounds like we should do a massive offering, dilute the shareholders to oblivion and start paying CEO average sallies and tell him to buy the stock and move up the price.
Nothing like a good laugh with my morning coffee.
Desperation is in the air. Very obvious. But not from AWSL. They keep growing and growing!!!!
I am happy to buy at .29. I love the progress and love the triple digit sales growth and profitability.
As for the comment that the CEO is not investing, who do you think financed the 4 + years of losses to get the company to this point where the company makes money?
Finally, and most importantly, this advice that GT needs to buy and move up the stock price is insane. What you are proposing is stock manipulation and is a criminal act. Any trades designed to affect a change in price is manipulation. I would not want our CEO to be doing these things that would lead to criminal and civil action. I do not think this is good advice!
Funny how the sky is falling again. Kind of like the long list:
The stock is about to be halted.
This is going sub penny.
They are bankrupt.
They never even made an application to the OPA.
They will never get a contract.
That is only 20 contract offers. They won't actually execute the contracts.
They will never put up the deposits for the contract.
They will never get a Notice to Proceed.
They will never do a single installation.
They will never have sales.
That was not a real picture of the CEO with sr. government officials.
They will never get a contract in Ecuador.
They will never earn $1 in profit.
and so on.
But in reality there was over a dozen installation complete already I believe. This led to almost $8,000,000 in sales in just over 2 years. Last Q had over $300,000 or .01 per share in earnings.
But THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!
Every single statement is untrue. Anyone who actually reads the company filings can see this company is doing extremely well and better with each passing day.
"Barely escaped prosecution". How would someone know this?
PSC promoters went to jail? This is sis simply not true. A google search only brings up a settlement agreement with the SEC. How this is relevant is beyond me.
Again, who do you want to appoint as CEO if this one in your eyes is not up to your standards.
I am surprised just how many bold statements are thrown out there as if they are facts.
Or email the ideas to the CEO. He would be open to it.
Lets see some examples. I am willing to bet if you read to the bottom disclosure the company was paid.
I am CERTAIN the CEO would do everything to help the share price that is legal, ethical and does not cost a fortune for a short time period of coverage.
The CEO took John's investment money? Really? I do not recall any public offering. Anyone who bought stock bought it in the open market. None of this money went to AWSL or the CEO.
But great idea. Lets replace the CEO. Who should go in? You can't remove one without appointing another.
"proof the financials are lies and fabrications and deception.. the stock price didn't go up". Boy that was some rock solid proof. LOL. Actually the stock did go up from .05.
Take the time to read the financial statements and let us know how much of the money should have been taken away from building the business and spent on IR and promotion. How much do you think they should spend?
Who should they hire? I would be curious to see how much this costs.
Must be a bad CEO. Best to sell.
Yes, lets ignore 17 consecutive quarters of improvement. Lets ignore triple digit sales growth and increased profitability. Lets ignore almost $8,000,000 of sales in just over 2 years from the 2.7 MW of contracts.
Lets ignore the fact that AWSL has another 50 MW's of contracts.
Lets ignore the fact management refinanced over 90% of the Pre 12% shares for 8% shares.
Lets ignore the fact that the negative retained earnings / book value is from the start up years losses.
Lets ignore the fact these losses will shelter any taxes payable from the new profits now being generated.
You heard him John. Sell. At least someone can partially cover with these shares.
Saul, from what I hear, there is not a chance in hell of management issuing shares. That is why they did not file the S1 after all. They did not want to dilute the shareholders (thus help the naked short cover).
Atlantic started trading at .10. So whoever bought at $4.84 was not a very good trader. This is NOT AWSL, or management's fault.
According to your 'thoughts', every stock, pink sheet or blue chip if it is not trading at the all time high there is a serious problem,.
I have made plenty of money on AWSL and I know I will again. However the naked short can't be covered and that is why the downticks and propaganda.
While the price and volume may not be very high, the longs are in the drivers seat and the shorts are screwed and you know it.
Red, you claim to be a shareholder from Pre Atlantic days. Why did you not sell at $4.84 or anytime since than? You are trying to tell us you would be here the whole time telling everyone "they will never get a contract", "they will never get sales... NTP etc etc" while holding on to your shares? Yeah right. You are not a shareholder. Or you are the worlds worst trader in history.
It was .10 5 years ago. Even if you did not sell on the way up to $4.84 and all the way down, with many bounces in between than you would still be up more than 400% today.
To keep pointing at the one trade at $4.84 and say shareholders lost is well... I don't even have the words for it. There has been so many chances to trade profitably along the way either long or short. The real frustration is the inability to cover a naked short! position.
Interesting how you start at the highs than go to the lows, never mentioning the very considerable bounces in-between that could afford traders plenty of ROI.
Also a few months before the $4.84 it traded at .10. If .1 to $4.84 is not a good return for a trader I am certain this trader could never be satisfied.
Don't forget shareholders also increased there holdings by 50%.
100 share sell off!!!! 100 x .29 = $29. We better get out now before they kill all the bids. What a joke.
4+ days without a single sale of AWSL. Clear indicator that shareholders are not giving up on this and see the continued growth in sales and profitability as being a catalyst for a likely large reward in the near future.
I am long and quite content to have the company continue to grow impressively. 17 consecutive quarters and counting.
As I have zero interest in selling yet, based on the companies rate of growth, I am not concerned with volume. In the near future when the stock is trading over$4 or 5.00 per share maybe I will want to make sure there is good volume or at least good bids. By then I expect to have received some dividends.
The only one that is struggling in my opinion is anyone who is short, can't cover and has to tout numerous time daily for 4+ years why the company is failing Yet the sales grow, the profitability increases, the solar installations increase and the new projects pipeline grows.
Now that is a frustrating struggle.
I too am "long and strong". Meaning I am long AWSL and holding strong no matter how much disinformation is thrown at me.
Why, you ask? Since I have read daily for 4+ years "management is dumping shares", "the insiders are selling". "everyone is dumping there shares as they don't believe the lies" etc etc.,
If you have not noticed I am only hear to counter disinformation.
Long, strong and seeker of truth.
We will look forward to your return at that time. In the meantime it is nice to see not one person will part with there AWSL shares.
I agree Saul. The longest and hardest part to be patient through is behind us.. I am long and think it is worth sitting on my investment for a while if I have too. But I don't think we will have to wait that long anymore.
The fact a short would go lon on a stock like this also says something. "Just saying."
Interesting. Appears we longs here are not the only fans of AWSL.

Good morning John. While I agree it is hard to think about $18.00 or even $6.00 when the stock is at .35 I have to disagree on what is more important. Trading vs company's success and financials. To get to a much higher trading price that will actually stay at that high price the company has to build the business. Something it is doing really well as we speak.
If the company has plenty of earnings or a large book of business it makes it ripe to be acquired. Knowing this, money will flow into the stock before hand.
I sense a feeling that AWSL needs to do awareness instead of building the business. This is not prudent long term thinking. Lets think about it. AWSL could have invested the met profit into awareness instead of building the business and paying down pref shares. What would we get for $300k? A few weeks of promotion. Than what? Do it again with all the future profit to keep the promo going? So the business does not grow and only the preferred shares interest grow? Is that what you would do if you were CEO?
The company JUST started to make money. Let the credibility set in and continue to show growth. Than it will not take much money to promote it. But out of curiosity, how much would you recommend AWSL budget for promotion?
And for so many years! I totally agree with you Saul.
Must be a great company, AWSL, when non-stockholders follow it so closely. As a stockholder I'm very happy
If someone actually thought the growing book of business, increased profitability for 17 consecutive quarters and Q1 earnings of .01 per share gives a "sub Penny valuation, than I suggest taking a short position if one hasn't been taken already!
As for me, assuming the continued rate of growth for the rest of the year remains constant, than we are talking about .10 per share of earnings for this year alone.
Stock Valuation
.10 EPS for AWSL 2014. Since companies like this would trade 10 to 30 times earnings we are talking about $1.00 to $3.00 per share trading value. Perhaps this is why there is no selling!
My .10 EPS for 2014 did not even consider the huge 50 MW South American approved project.
Add Ecuador
.60= EPS x 10 - 30 = $6.00 to $18.00 per share
Discount that on any level and it is much higher than the "this is going sub penny" predictions.
Sales and profitability way up. Bids now moving up.
Year...........Sales................. Profit / Loss
2014*.........$1,500,000........$330,000 * represents only 3 months (q1)
2013..........$4,000,000........(300,000)
2012..........$1,880,000........(400,000)
2011...........0......................(1,100,000)
2010...........0......................(2,700,000)
Sales increasing . Q1 2014 was up 227%. Profitability is way up. As it has been for 17 consecutive quarters.
Installations are being completed monthly.
Ecuador phase 1 of the $150,000,000 project should be giving us some big news shortly as described in the last PR:
"Finally, Atlantic is in advanced negotiations for the co-development and sale of an interest in its 25 MWp approved power plant project in Ecuador. Atlantic hopes to finalize this in Q2 / Q3 2014."
So with .01 in earnings for 1st quarter 2014 and the trend and upcoming news... I wonder what we will see for the year? I am guessing for one thing the bid will keep moving up as it has been.
"hope, faith, wishing, lies, deceptions, false claims,... does not make a company" stock go down. Sorry.
"we AWSL shareholders know this because the price is reflected by the amount of volume that is being traded,... as in zero !" What? The price is reflected by the volume? So why is the ask .38? Should it not be 0?
"if we are to believe the whisperers rumors, does it even make sense that a company that is beating the other OTC companies in revenue growth,..then why is AWSL's company listing not on a better exchange to attract other buyers of their stock ? that perspective doesn't make logical sense...so it has to be a lie. "
Would it makes sense for the company to pursue a higher listing before being profitable? Adding listing fees, legal fees and reporting fees before the company is profitable? I would say no. And definitely not assume "It is a lie". I prefer common sense when looking at this. Now that the company has (just a couple weeks ago) reported there first profitable quarter, perhaps they will now start to look into it. Using your perspective " that perspective doesn't make logical sense...so it has to be a lie. ""
"does it make sense that a company, if we are to believe the whisperers rumors, that they initiate a preferred share arrangement when they made a profit of .01 per share ? it doesn't make sense to financially burden the company and its shareholders for a very, very risky capital venture of potentially loosing it all. if they have profits ?,...why the risk ? that perspective doesn't make logical sense...so it has to be a lie. "
I simply do not understand what this last point means. The Pref shares have been in place long before the profitable quarter. But it was nice to see AWSL was able to swap the Pref shares for 8% Pref shares reducing the interest expense considerably. I assume this was able to be done do to the increased profitability.
"A WARNING TO AWSL SHAREHOLDERS "
"whomever desires to place Pollyanna perceptions and Peter Pan fantasies to the recent fraudulent and deceptive and blatant lies told in the recent financials,... "
The "fraudulent and deceptive and blatant lies" is happening alright. But it is not coming from AWSL.
Financial statements are the first indicators of success. Not the stock If it was the other way around it would likely be from insider trading. The moment you see lots of buying before good news it is an insider leak.
"Some people"? There was one trade at $4.84. But I guess a number of people pooled there resources for that trade.
Shareholders would have also increased there holdings by 50% due to two stock dividends. And with the rate of sales and profitability growth I would not be surprised if they get cash dividends on them within the next 12 months!
If someone wants to sell now hit the bid or low offer. Someone will be happy to buy or partially cover I assure you.
Wow, still quoting a poster from 4.5 years ago? Impressive.
