Despite the update, just 900k volume so far. I guess they just won't let this rise.
Just everything going right except for the stock price.
After all the hullabaloo of the roadshow and the announcements/PRs, the stock has hardly moved and U.S. struggling to get past even $2.85, leave aside $3.
Wonder why.
Not surprised.
Being systematically screwed and kept down
Frustrating to say the least.
Every week we live in hope that the next week will be good and yet this dam stock continues to languish in the 2.6/2.7 range.
So much talk about new customers but no impact on the stock price. Should have been flying by now. Wonder if the shorters will ever let this loose before Andy screws up once again.
I get pissed off when this does not fly and is held down.
With the news released today, it should break the first resistance easily but the rogues won't let that happen.
Yes I agree with you.
Hopefully the next quarter results will be to everyone's satisfaction given the fact that we have some 400 plus units already shipped and to be recognized as revenue for sure.
Positively being held down by some. There's so much going for Plug and yet it struggles to cross $3.
By now it should have been closer to $6/7. Andy screwed up the scene with his loud mouth.
Volume is low despite the news. We are being systematically screwed.
Hate this.
Despite all the good news this going nowhere. Sad. What will it take to get the price moving.
Hi A1,
I find that frustrating more so because we saw 30 cents pre split when we had hardly anything going for us.
Now after so much progress, it amazes me that the stock is struggling.
Hi Pasta,
Yes I got out in the low fours and the high threes. Was a very reluctant exit but I was frustrated with the fact that the stock price was going nowhere despite significant positive developments, leaving aside poor management maybe.
I believed in the technology and still do so but am unable to understand why the stock is still languishing where it is. In fact post the RS, it has been a downhill trend. Feel sad that I got my son to put in some money into APDN too. He is still holding on to his shares as he has nothing to gain by selling.
Have been watching it from the sidelines. In the meanwhile I put all my money from APDN into Plug Power but that too is stuck. Bad investment luck I guess.
Hi SP,
Good to hear from you too.
Yeah I have been waiting for an opportune time to re enter but hesitate to do so. Hope they manage to stay listed.
Hey Mike, A1, Pasta, Yip and others,
How's it going. I have been watching APDN from the sidelines and am so disappointed with its situation. Has been making steady progress QOQ, YOY but yet that does not reflect in the share price at all.
Like JD said, this stock reacts inversely to news. Just feel that we were better off without the reverse split. Never really recovered from that blow.
Cheers and God Bless.
I don't get it. If that TWC news was good for Plug, why are we seeing this downward trend in the pps. When will this ever behave in a normal predictable way.
Can never get it right on this one. Hanging on for I have no other choice. Wonder what surprises Andy is going to spring on the 17th.
High time that they offer some clarification to shareholders and make some announcements to offset this news.
It is so difficult to predict how these stocks will move. No clue about what is happening behind the scenes. God alone knows how more skeletons will the new CFO find in the cupboard.
Yes I agree.
Hope for once and for all, we see a healthy upward trend for Plug now and not the usual up and down cycle.
Ballard has done what Plug was not willing to do.
They have confirmed the deal with two new customers and have also generally confirmed a healthy business trend for Plug in 2015.
This should ideally have a positive impact on the pps though BLDP results in themselves may be bad.
Yes. saw that A1. Wonder what's cooking.
Could have made a nice chunk on the swing.
What was the jump to 4.22 all about.
Frustrating. Going nowhere after the nominal spike last week.
Yes A1- this one is in a much better position to make some gains in the near term.
I got out of APDN very reluctantly because of the drop after the results. Hope to make some money here and then get back into APDN. You should think on similar lines.
Hi A1,
Don't worry. This one is a good one to play the swings. Will go up in the near term.
Thanks SP,
I do intend to stick around. I agree with you. The best way is to play the swings on this one.
I like the product but the management is making a hash of it and I feel that they have no concern whatsoever for the shareholders. They keep rewarding themselves with hefty stock options and make merry.
Yeah Pasta.
Not only the saving on APDN. I put the money in another stock that I have been watching and that went up 7% today. At the risk of being deleted, have a look at Plug.
Yes A1.
I was not impressed by the call yesterday. The revenue this quarter was largely due to a backlog that they had carried forward.
What I did not like is that the Dr could give no guidance for the next quarter. He was not sure of even matching the revenue for the first quarter. By the middle of a quarter, a good leader should be able to make a reasonable forecast. This gave me a feeling that he was not sure of doing as well in the second quarter.
Expenses was another reason why I got put off. I had other options to put my money in, which looked more promising in the near term.
I may look at APDN later this year.
Thanks Pasta,
I was cursing myself for not having sold my shares at the recent high of 4.34 or more.
My gut feel told me that it would drop after the call as usual but the good revenue figures tempted me to hang on. Eventually I sold out of frustration to see this going nowhere. Had been waiting for too long. These guys don't seem to get their act together. Great technology but taking too long to make us any money. The RS was a disaster and what followed was worse. Even to get back to the pre split level of $6.7 will take this a while.
I agree there are many more attractive options to put our money in.
Good luck to you too.
Guys,
I sold all my shares today. Couldn't take this crap anymore.
A lot of promise in the technology but a bunch of thieves only rewarding themselves. No signs of expenses being controlled. Non-cash or cash, at the end of the day it affects the bottom line and they cannot keep giving excuses.
Wonder why Karol left. Must have got fed up with the attitude.
I will remain in touch and hopefully buy back at a more opportune time.
Good luck.
Don't have the details as yet. I think I read that they will be at fair market value and vested in 4 equal installments beginning next year this time.
Hi All,
Did you all read about Karol Gray's resignation submitted today but effective 15th Feb. Beth Jantzen will be the new CFO. Beth was earlier the company's Controller. Prior to joining APDN, Beth was with Marcum LLP. By the way, she now gets another 30,000 shares as stock options.
Karol will probably walk with her share of options. Wonder what these guys are up to and why Karol left.
The only blot is the fact that expenses have not gone down. I can't imagine why they would have gone up this quarter as compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
By the way, are they lower than the expenses in the previous quarter? I thought we were seeing a downward trend.
Nevertheless I am happy with the revenue growth.
Wow Yip. Thanks.
That's a phenomenal figure for Q1. For once the Dr did not disappoint. This should be great for all of us. Hope this jumps tomorrow.
Thanks again. You deserve the 5 shares which Mike promised.
Cheers!!
Hi Mike,
I guess the results will be released by evening today. What's your strategy. Will you hang on if the financials are not good?
I feel like cashing out if it starts to drop. Hope it does not but I will hate to see this go back to below $3 for whatever reason. Have seen that happening too often. If the results are good, I expect it will continue to rise. Too many good PRs in the past week or two.
Good luck.
Good point Abew,
I thought you would talk about the possible use of DNA for data storage and in turn ultimate data security. A slightly different application from anti-counterfeiting but within the realms of APDN technology.
2300 shares bought at 4.34 at 18.32 hrs?.?? What's cooking out here.
Hope we touch the high of 30 cents pre split or $18 levels. That's asking for a bit too much I guess. Let's cross the $6.70 level first.
Yes I agree A1 but we curse when we miss it and regret that we did not cash out.
No doubt that I would like to hold this if the healthy uptrend continues but I am doubtful because of past trends.
4.34 as per my Ameritrade account. Best increase and closing since a long time.
4.34 at this point. Scary stuff. Just hope that it does not simply fizzle out and we are left just watching.
Don't know when to encash this swing. Hopefully it should continue into the results. If the results are as good as the Dr. promised, the uptrend could continue beyond.
I hope we are able to catch the the right peak this time.
