You can reduce the gambling aspect of it if you look real hard at the company, the "story", and the charts.
Build a plan and stick with it. When hope is gone, and left for dead, buy in at your target. It may take a lot of patience, but once these make that move to the upside, then that is the toughest part of all. The sell decision is by far the most difficult, and yet the most critical part of the stink pink play.
The word "invest" has no place in a discussion of a stinker pink stock.
There are ways to make money here, but "buy and hold and forget about it" ain't it.
Perhaps it's a "two-holer". Hope I'm not showing my age here.

Well, that airplane is not a money maker, it would be a money pit.
It's actually a ridiculous airplane for a flight school.
It's sort of like opening up a driving school with a restored 1956 Cadillac Eldorado. I guess you could do it, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.
In fact, if they used it that way, that's probably why it's got a brand new top overhaul on a 295 hour engine.
Things that make you go hmmm.
Better hope that raising funds is not the reason.
If he can get $50,000 for that Bonanza, that would be the equivalent of about of about 8.3 million shares at the retail bid. How quick would he burn through that?
Maybe it will tide them over to the next A/S increase? Just speculation.
Yeah, it sure is.
$90,000, he's out of his mind. Best case scenario would be $50,000.

OK, apparently QASP has blown off Oshkosh, but there are two upcoming trade shows with a "Light Business Airplane Conference" on the agenda. As a manufacturer of a VLJ, these guys need a presence. It's not acceptable that they do not have a presence at these events if they are really participants in this industry.
__________________
Oshkosh, WI, July 28, 2010 – From "Why?" to "How To," the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) will help Members make the most of their light general aviation (GA) aircraft as business tools this fall at each group's annual Convention. Speaking on AOPA Live at EAA's AirVenture, AOPA President and CEO Craig L. Fuller and NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen unveiled the six forums that will be presented as the Light Business Airplane Conference at both the NBAA Annual Meeting & Convention, October 19 to 21 in Atlanta, GA, and the AOPA Aviation Summit, November 11 to 13 in Long Beach, CA.
"Business aviation involves the use of any general aviation airplane for business, and our jointly hosted conference really drives that point home," said NBAA's Bolen. "A large portion of the businesses that use aviation are small companies, many of which use smaller piston-powered aircraft. With this event, we can help to ensure we're supporting their specific needs and addressing their unique challenges."
"The six forums, all of which will be offered at each of our gatherings, are designed specifically to help businesses that use light GA aircraft get the most out of those aircraft," added Fuller. "And because NBAA's Convention is in the East this year and AOPA's is in the West, we will collectively be able to reach many more pilots, owners and operators than either of us could individually."
The six courses include: How to Use General Aviation for Business Purposes; Tax Benefits of Aircraft Ownership; Single Pilot: Safely; Getting Reimbursed for Flights: What Do the FARs Say?; an Insurance Panel; and Moving Up to a Turbine Aircraft.
How to Use General Aviation for Business Purposes will introduce the range of options available and the proven benefits when companies use general aviation for business.
Tax Benefits of Aircraft Ownership examines how to write off expenses when using a personal airplane for business, and the tax benefits that await if a person or business buys a new or used airplane and places it in the business.
Single Pilot: Safely will look at single-pilot operations. Safety data shows that single-pilot operations are riskier than flights conducted with two pilots. This forum will show how to prepare for single-pilot flights in high-performance piston aircraft and turbine aircraft to minimize risk. This session is based upon AOPA Air Safety Foundation's "Single Pilot IFR, Turbine Operations" course.
Getting Reimbursed for Flights: What Do the FARs Say? will explain the applicable regulations and recent FAA legal interpretations about accepting reimbursement for business or personal flights and give a clear roadmap as to when a pilot can accept reimbursement – from his or her company, or from other passengers.
The Insurance Panel will offer tips for the owner-flown market, and address how to overcome challenges such as obtaining workers' compensation coverage. Pilots who fly for business must ensure they have properly covered the risks associated with aircraft ownership and operations.
Moving Up to a Turbine Aircraft answers questions about what a business needs to know before moving up, and how to match needs with the appropriate aircraft. The majority of general aviation flight hours each year are for flights made in support of business. The associations owe it to their Members, the leaders concluded, to help them get the most of such an important business asset.
Editors: Craig Fuller and Ed Bolen will be available to answer questions at AOPA's big yellow tent on the grounds of EAA's AirVenture immediately before their AOPA Live appearance, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. CT on Wednesday, July 28.
SimonL, I think we are in complete agreement.
Now that is a post that should be stickied!!
The clarity and wisdom of these eleven words are a beacon shining through the deep murk of misinformation being spread here this morning!!
Relentless buying from ETMM? Perhaps other MMs are losing interest.
They have tried to buy on the ask and it runs from them so they just sit and catch, why?
OK, here are two examples of posts made today. Now just exactly which one of these is posting facts, and which one is pulling something from the nether region you refer to?

Still waiting. Although I was encouraged yesterday to see all those shares moving a little after 11:00 without sending the tick price down immediatly.
No problem. My point actually had nothing to do with Branson at all.
My point was that this company doesn't participate in the kind of things you would normally expect. You kind of expect to see some participation at trade shows. From an industry viewpoint this company does not seem to exist much beyond their own PRs.
LOL, I wonder what Moody's outlook is for Moodys with the new Finreg bill.
None involving QASP I am afraid.
Ed Cross went to Farnborough as a visitor, not as an exhibitor.
While the Air Show is the big attraction, the trade show part is the largest light G.A. trade show in the U.S.
It's where Richard Branson likes to ink his deals. Sorry, if Quasar wants to be a player, they have to show up at the game.
Question #2 was an excellent question. Too bad you only got half an answer.
Are they even trying to deliver?
The fact that a company with a new VLJ, training aircraft, and King Air float system all coming to market, and is not even bothering to have a presence at AirVenture this week raises a serious question about just how much this company is even trying to be an industry player.

Whoa, whose tipping the dump truck? This thing suddenly comes to life, but can't go anywhere.
LOL, the consumer confidence report just kicked my teeth in!
Ignoring the tendency for FAZ and FAS to fill gaps is a move I should know better than to make.
I don't know... European banks have turned in some impressive earnings over night, European bond yields are falling...
I think the stress tests were probably rigged, but I don't think this is going to be a very FAZ day.
I'm in FAS today.
Atlantic Aviation?

I wouldn't necesarily expect them to PR about the normal things that a company involved in any industry would do.
When you have products in development, you would expect to see the company develop some kind of marketing presence within the industry. This is the biggest light General Aviation trade show in the U.S. If they really have products in the pipe, I would fully expect them to show a presence.
Since we are exploring logic algorithms today, here's one:
"IF they are in the industry, THEN they will have a presence. OR perhaps since the A/S is so close to being maxed, they didn't think it worthwhile to set up a stock peddling booth."
It just all depends on what business this company is actually engaged in, I guess.
Anybody got the lowdown on QASP's presence at Oshkosh? Today is opening day!
I imagine they'll be booking orders for the VLJ, the new trainer, the Tigerfish system... The whole product line.

Yeah, there is no evidence that any of these LLC's which have been set up in Florida to become, one must assume, "acquisition targets" have a used car or boat. Or that they have anything for that matter.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
Your point in this post is that for Mr. Bradley to be assured continued control, the A/S increase must take place prior to the shareholder meeting, not at the meeting.
Then I would buy the stock.
I've been saying all along the only thing holding me back is the the looming increase in the A/S. I had a bid at .005 for quite a while, but withdrew it when it became obvious that Mineseeker was never going to happen, and the A/S was maxed.
This thing found support very close to the range I expected it to. But it's like MarketGeometry pointed out a few posts back, all T/A goes right out the window when the share structure is in question.

I had wondered if that wasn't the motive behind calling a shareholder's meeting. I thought about it for a while, but dismissed the idea, reasoning that if you had lost controlling interest, getting shareholders together in one spot could be dangerous.
If you are correct then the A/S increase has to come before this meeting. If the shareholder's are smart, they could install someone on the board who has the shareholder's interest in mind.
We'll see when these amended articles actually make it to the SOS's office... Whether they contain something more than just the name change.
Yes you're right.
Well, don't you want to have as much information in your comapany name as possible so a person who sees it can decipher as much information about the company as possible?
LOL, it just means Mr. Bradley needs to pay attention to more important things than our Sunday morning postings here.
that I am aware of at this time
I am very interested in QASP, I fully intend to make money here. I have no other interest.
Look, this is the stink pinks. There is no money to be made here except for what comes from other retail investors. And the competition for that money is ferocious with those who have a big advantage over me (MMs, pro traders, etc.).
I am 100% transparent about my QASP strategy. My being open about it has nothing to do with an attmept to make it come true. I'm not naive enought to believe that. I'm here to discuss the company and discuss trading strategies.
Just like last February. I suppose though that they will announce a share buyback program concurrent with the increase in A/S, so not to worry.
Pass me a little more Kool-Aid there, wouldya?
Read the bold red part.
However, as a whole, these new rules are appropriate and necessary. They merely require public entities to maintain proper and complete books and records and to follow state corporate law regarding board and shareholder changes and consents; practices the Issuer should be adhering to already.
Sorry for the ambiguity. I thought I had made it very clear for quite a while now that I think share re-structure is, to borrow a term here, "imminent".

Well pardon me. My choice of pronouns was based upon the assumption that Mr. Bradley had intended the press release for the general public, and not for my eyes only.
How about this: Once the secret web-site to disseminate information only to a pre-approved few goes live, I will change my use of "we" to "you" in regards to comments about PRs.
So far as "batting average" is concerned: How is Mr. Bradley's?
Here's my point: I think Mr. Bradley got a little more "blabby" than he intended with his press release, and gave us a hint when he let us know that he consulted with "securities counsel" in preparation for amending the articles of incorporation.
