There's still a buttload of .0021's to get through.
It's showing up on Market Caster and on LII E*TRADE Pro. Settings maybe? Go $ASTI!
Buying in this morning, lets hope this goes to the moon!
I don't start paying attention to the Ask until around 9AM, it's going to flip flop all over the place between now and opening. Go $ASTI
Yup! We haven't seen any reporting of any income at this point on this so my conjecture is SPCL is either gearing up for it or working down old stock for a new line, new developments, etc...
Actually, no they do not have any more consumer goods. All that is left on Amazon is old stock. This has been discussed time and time again on this board. They are no longer in the consumer sales business. In February of this year they signed an agreement:
ASTI signs Intellectual Property Disposal Agreement with Sun Pleasure Co. Ltd., transferring Ascent's proprietary owned EnerPlex brand
"Pursuant to the Agreements, Ascent will transfer its intellectual property related to the EnerPlexâ„¢ brand, which includes trademarks, website domains, non-solar components of product designs and patents ("non-solar IP") to SPCL for a consideration of about $1.33M. Following the transfer, Ascent will no longer produce or sell Enerplex-branded consumer products. Ascent will focus on its photovoltaic business and will supply solar PV products to SPCL, supporting the continuous growth of EnerPlexâ„¢ with Ascent's proprietary and award-winning thin-film solar technologies and products."

Agreed! That is why I stomped on that reporting of EnerPlex and citing old news articles from well over a year ago because it has zero relevance now. As you said in your earlier post, $ASTI has basically remade itself as completely different than that earlier iteration.
I also agree about the PV business in China. HUGE potential there. Now, if they will only get off their arses and do something about it. ;)
Not a problem! You're quite welcome! $ASTI has some great potential, I just hope it doesn't go to waste.
Well $ASTI closed up one tick at .0017 :)
Uhh, yep. Go $ASTI
I think it has a lot of potential. I own a buttload of stocks that didn't cost me squat so, yeah. It's not hurting anything at all by sitting in my port so if something happens and they get more contracts and report positive earnings then I would have been absolutely stupid to sell. If not, like I said, I'm not out of much cash. I got in on the cheap.
Yeah, I believe it was a MM fueled and advertised pump & dump. I took the bait... my bad! :P Oops.
Again I refer you to the link where this is all explained:
http://investors.ascentsolar.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=1014554
They transferred intellectual property, trademarks, & non-solar patents to SPCL, but not any of the intellectual property or patents pertaining to the PV (solar cells/panels/etc.) which the brand depends on because... you know... it being solar powered and all that. They said they will be supplying solar PV products (solar cells/panels/etc.) to SPCL to promote the continued growth of the EnerPlex brand now under the purview of SPCL.
Most of this information is in the second paragraph. This is directly from the Ascent Solar website, on their press release page - NOT from SeekingAlpha.
http://investors.ascentsolar.com/news.cfm
They sold the intellectual property rights to SPCL along with patents and non-PV goods. $ASTI can NOT transfer this to anybody else or they would be in breach of contract. Learn about copyright and intellectual rights. Nor can $ASTI manufacture or sell anything under the EnerPlex brand anymore. Intellectual rights and copyright is something I deal with every day.
Basing your decisions on what is on a company or brand's LinkedIn page is dangerous anyway. I've seen company's go years in between updates to their profile page.
Trading Center Update on Ascent Solar Technologies Inc (ASTI)
https://baldwinjournal.com/trading-center-update-on-ascent-solar-technologies-inc-asti/117609/
Exactly. Thank you! $ASTI is out of the EnerPlex business other than supplying PV components.
I certainly hope that they don't ever own $ASTI as if they do you can kiss any government military contracts permanently goodbye. Where are you getting your 80% figures from btw?

The items marked in bold & italic tells me in VERY plain English that they "no longer produce or sell EnerPlex and only agree to supply the PV products to SPCL.
I don't know how to say it any plainer than that. They. Do. Not. Sell. EnerPlex. Any. More.
Second paragraph:
Following the transfer, Ascent will no longer produce or sell Enerplex-branded consumer products.

I do wish people would stop posting the information about $ASTI having merchandise in stores - they do NOT. $ASTI sold out of the EnerPlex brand.

I'm out! GLTA for all that are keeping this, but I don't see this $KIWB going anywhere.
Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI)’s Relative Upward Momentum Building
August 4, 2017 Aiken Contributor
Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI) shares have popped up on the radar as the RMI or Relative Momentum Indicator has trended higher over the past 5 sessions. As the momentum builds, we will be closely watching to see if they cross into Overbought territory.
The Relative Momentum Index is calculated as the ratio of average upward price changes to the average absolute price change. The index requires two parameters. The first parameter is the number of periods used to determine price change. The second parameter is the number of periods to average these changes over. The permissible values for RMI lie in the range between 0 and 100. Whilst a crossing of the center line may be interpreted as a warning of an impending trend change, only values over 70 are usually regarded as a buy signal and those below 30 as a sell signal.
Crossing over to look at some additional metrics, we note that Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI) currently has a 50-day moving average of 0.00, the 200-day is at 0.00, and the 7-day is 0.00. In the investing realm, using the moving average for technical equity analysis is still very popular among traders and investors. The moving average can be used as a reference point to help discover buying and selling opportunities. Using a longer term moving average such as the 200-day may help block out the noise and chaos that is sometimes created by daily price fluctuations. In some cases, MA’s may be used as strong reference points for finding support and resistance levels.
Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI)’s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -45.00. The Williams %R oscillates in a range from 0 to -100. A reading between 0 and -20 would point to an overbought situation. A reading from -80 to -100 would signal an oversold situation. The Williams %R was developed by Larry Williams. This is a momentum indicator that is the inverse of the Fast Stochastic Oscillator.
Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 89.53. Active investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend. On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI) is sitting at 37.81. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, the 14-day RSI is currently at 64.61, the 7-day stands at 61.31, and the 3-day is sitting at 45.90.

Oh, must be the long day for me - because I looked at your post and that just looked sooo wrong lol!
Back up to .002!
I sold a couple of dogs that have been sitting in my port going nowhere to grab another 100k shares.
Load and hold and frustrate the TAR out of the MM's! :)
Yep, I've seen that one, I think someone posted it yesterday. :D
Just loaded my ol' pickem-up truck full! :) Go $ASTI
I'm thinking about backing the pickup up to pick up another big load of $ASTI
Closed at .0022, I was hoping for higher, but I'll take that! Go $ASTI
Oh not scared at all, I read his post and was like wtf is he talking about? I already sent my proxy in and it was all standard stuff. I think maybe he's smoking too much of his MJ stuff personally ;)
Bull-pockey! That is all standard stuff. Not bad news at all. What is your point - better yet, what is your purpose here with this obviously bad information!?
None yet, but the fact that they were one of only two solar power company's invited to an invitation only SOCOM event is definitely a good sign. There is the JAXA contract though.
Agreed, I've owned most of my shares since late last summer/fall and bought more this past May(ish). I'm in it for the long haul!
Oh absolutely! Great investment! More than likely all they are concerned about is their bottom line I would think. That's business.
If Boone Group were to buy out the company, I guarantee you could kiss any chance of a SOCOM contract goodbye.
At .002! Off to the races folks! GLTA!
Woot! Good open at .0019!
Yup, I remember reading that article, I just couldn't find it again lol.
I know right??? Come on 9:30!!!
Ask is at .0019 btw
I would imagine so.
