Hey JMD, you followed me wearing my shoes. I brought up that HiPower +50dBm (100Watt) Psat amp subject over a YEAR ago, that discussion was done & history. You accidentlaly stumbled on same amplifier this week in year2018, and though Iam too lazy to return to the old subject, I'll just say this much:
Yes it's an RFHIC Amp module encased in enclosure & you'd be surprised who selected all components, FanSink (Heatsink + Fan), control/monitor, etc. & logistics. It was an engineer who selected, in fact that engineer EASILY sold 2 units of said Amp at a whopping 240% profit all by himself outside Amplitech before bringing ideas to AmpliTech.
Don't ask how I know, anyways it's all legal - RFHIC was fully aware, again don't ask how I know stuff. It is quite common in any industry, in RFMW industry we call it "Private Labeling". Amplitech did same by reselling amps also from another, this time US company in Pennsylvania (no names here, for confidentiality), and SO WHAT? If one company agrees to be sold under another's badge, just call it "retail", you everyday buy food which is often labeled say "Trader Joes", "Walmart", "Vons" but made by someone else - that someone else is called "OEM" (Orig. Equipment Manufacturer). It's a dual-edge sword, b/c over time it can damage OEM's own sales as it ends up competing against itself, also OEM's engineering/design data can leak from OEM to the reseller given that both companies share similar expertise/educated engineers, on the other hand reseller e.g. Amplitech isn't always a winner either - b/c once customers discover who (OEM) makes them, they'll switch over & reseller's sales will collapse real quick, unless reseller ads an extra punch/benefits which... undercut profit margin. Like Car Insurance agencies collapsed when Internet gave car owners direct access to Insurances or buying online anything, why would I go to Uncle Joe to buy State Farm coverage when I can goto State Farm's website directly & self-insure? Well, you would - if you need that special touch of sitting in a cozy office, personally guided by some soft-spoken female agent, otherwise - NO. So Amplitech gives you enclosure, OK cool, but if a customer just needs an amplifier and to save a boatload of money (!) - NOpe, they don't need that fansink or fancy labels, and fansink by the way is also stocked by MiniCircuits :), a piece of extruded aluminum block with cheap computer-style fans, made Canada, cheap common basics. That said though, Government customers often don't see an OEM or anyway to save money - they value Specs, Delivery Time, Reliability/Support, they don't coutn money much but that's rare luck and low quantity, if US Navy wants such powerAmps thay won't buy this mre-labeled monster in enclosures, built upon CREE (Woflspeed)) & Qorvo devices, none of Amplitech's in design.
BTW, in turn who do you think makes MiniCircuits' high-requency Microwave & MillimeterWave stuff & very high-power amps? NONE is made OR esigned by Minicircuits, their staff "engineers" & facility (i visited it back in the old days) were too primitive, it's often Avago, RFHIC again, and so on, with "made by MiniCircuits" claim, but Mr. Harvey is like Steve Jobs - he is good at marketing, reselling, yet his company hasn't designed a pint of anything advanced!!, they issued a 40GHz LNA 8 months after & only after I inquired "why not"?, and Harvey bought Merenda (did he?!) from Miteq so he transformed MiniCircuits into well... not too bad of a company. There's still something about MiniCircuits that true scientists/engineers find fake. Anyways, so:
RFHIC specifically requested Amplitech to add enclosure to comply with their reselling requirement, can't sell a bare module as is. So Amplitech did, and after toiling on this "challenge" far too long. BUT that was the end - only 4 units were bought from RFHIC and no more, as RFHIC lost interest after just 4 units. If anyone orders more from mplitech, that would be funny!, they'd need to beg RFHIC, or rip-off RFHIC's design but legally it's insane risk, or buy another mfg. (too slow to create reseller agreements), or most likely cancel the order.
I like AmpliTech, but in the same way kids like their elementary/middle school & careless childhood when world seems rosey... don't you have fond memories of your schools?
JMD(NY) you're not correct this time.
Typically I agree with you, but not this time: to say that discrete transistors are "lagging edge" reveals to me you're not an AnalogRFMW engineer.
Fawad EXACTLY uses them to achieve what's not possible with pre-fabricated MMIC's, limitation though it cannot be done successfully above K-band or say > 29GHz dueto dismal gains of discrete devices. Anyway, reason he uses them is for extreme customizations - you can't wiggle an MMIC as much as an optmized/matched network of discrete transistors, so Amplitech has a right to claim niche market populated by few other manufacturers. Problem is, it means near-zero financially. It's cool to supply a couple amplifiers to NIST or some cryogenic nutty mad science project, but you're investing to make money, not to make +10cents/share in 10 years, HybridMIC's built from fully discrete-transistors oe even mixed (discrete FET's driving output IC's) were great history, but it is so well-known/established design methods that ONLY reasons most others don't it same as Amplitech is b/c it ties up all the Assembly effort, wrangling WHOLE DAY to produce mere few Amps, so despite their siazable profit margins /per unit, in totality it's useless for investors. It's a great way for "Bell Labs" R&D but not mass production/meaningful profits.
I know more than you all guys can imagine, i've seen how stuff is done across entire country and by many companies, heck I can turn around most of the failing such companies riding the principles Amplitech remains founded on. There's an unexpected benefot of travel & contracts - you doNOT stangnate, your brain remains hungry, active, you learn, you don't grow into that office chair for 20 years doing same stuff everyday. I got lucky,
Anyways, back to Amplitech. So if a company is forced to spend a day with 2-3 assemblers elaborately "knitting" a couple amplifiers in some parking lot or garage in the beginning, well, yeah, that's fascinating, but to only have THAT as revenue generation, sorry, ... times have changed. Integrated chipsets & even surface-mount ones from AnalogDevices/Hittite, Qorvo/triquint, Skyworks, others I can't mention for proprietary reasons here, as opposed to Hybrids, are so good nowadays, Amplitech is facing an ever growing mountain of competition I sensed in 2008 and fully panicked in 2012. This is the end of HybridsMIC production on dsicrete FET's en-masse, and dropping MMIC's/mmIC into a metal cavity - anyone can, no Amplitech manual knotting wirebonds all day is required.
And add Skyworks or ADI to it, it's relaly the end. Iam so impressed with Analog Devices swallowing Hittite, and triquint eating RFMW to form Qorvo. HE, WHO DESIGNS ON PHYSICAL LAYER (SEMICONDUCTOR IC's) CONTROLS THE WORLD - I SAID THAT IN 2008. See how it played out exactly as I feared.
Companies like Amplitech can only get crumbs from the big table of this industry, novadays.
Sorry for typos, too busy to write long....
No Iam not anywhere close to the company, I even live in California now after 2 decades in NY (Long Island), NJ, CT, MD, nowhere close to Massachusetts anymore; but this product was a dream since 1980's, I was an electronics hobbyist, remember was like SciFi to imagine reading biosignals & actuate robots with brainwaves, by accident discovered MyoMo b/c engineers admire MIT University, Stanford, & UC Berkeley, CalTech. Most everything MIT grads touch, turns into profit, we studied company and God knows it'll be a $9-15 maybe $18/share stock in a year
EDITED - Big news about MyoMo Corp. (ticker/symbol "MYO", trading on NYStock.Exchange), founded by MIT University (world's top Engineering university, still for many decades), Harvard University/Medical School, & aided by Massachusetts LifeSciences Center:
Before that News, first an annoying apparently unrelated note:
Yes I sound obsessed w/"MYO", like a pump/hype claim but hello did most everything in electronics, optronics, (medical) robotics & some Infotech I chose, return sizable gains?, b/c I understand engineering-intensive products, don't buy stocks whose product's design I've no clue about. GE was an exception but even that is a global gigantic conglomerate that won't stay down long (plus, I was one of hundreds of thousands of global investors, Institutions, banks, etc. burned by it so it's not stupid, it's a "group event" dueto a Black Swan) & DPW only other flop that I sold the night before BitCoin flopped (Chairman Milton, fat pig, turns out to be a crook, belongs to jail, could never reach by phone, using Amos as scapegoat CEO), like Nutanix (NTNX) $22 to $45 in such short time (still a good target for acquisition by Google!), Oclaro (OCLR) jumping $6 to $9 (& under acquisition offer from Lumentum this week), Intel back when was beaten/downgraded in $30's, nVidia, ADI, HeiCo, Axcellis (none if these is a buy now, too high!), & now MYO - a hidden gem, obscenely cheap, anyways here's a story:
Concerned, I did call company's heads & usually dare to reach CEO or at least COO/VP.Finance (typ. w/small/nascent public companies), this time failed - as President flew from MA to CA to attend annual Roth industry Conference on March 12, then China (Healthcare Symposium) on March17, one more in Germany, so instead i spoke w/ Vivian Cervantes in their IR Relations, she said they're befuddled just like us by the stock drop after a GOOD Earnings Report March7 & good previous data & next estimate, analysts now suspect why - a group of "Momentum Traders" (& possibly competitor?) dragged stock down in AH on March7 in order to buy cheap before spike expected in May2018 (& possible buyout of MyoMo by a larger co. which would skyrocket stock back to IPO $20+/share), no insiders did it & they can't, they focus on growing business (scientists/engineers, not hyperactive traders), this set a stage for selling a few weeks. Anyway, who cares what IR says - they may lie at times, but real news is Wall Street analyst firms finally "initiated" MYO after it's been awhile since IPO, Roth Capital (last Friday) set rating Buy/price.target $9/share, H.C.Wainwrite (?) set $12/share, others $13, public consensus $10.50, etc, and all that if no buyout by a larger Medical corp. (if buyout - "MYO" will explode to $18+/share, but I don't count on that soon, $10-13 is good enough!)
Yesterday was a conference in California, on March17 MYO attends China Healthcare.Symposium, this week they announced 13 more "MyoPro Centers" opened (total now 46 in a short time) offering free screening for potential patients & veterans in USA, got Canadian license, Germany's Ottoback Co. is MYO's European dustributor, and about to enter (huge) China market (though trade war may dampen it, enough disabled patients are in US/Canada)
Remember this post. This stock will be a sizable (if not huge) gain in a moderate amount of time from now, money will be transferred from impatient to patient. Never mind the short-boIIoc*s selling at $3-4 this week - it's not we*d, bitc0in or other childish "product" company, this is Medical Robotics - in demand, its market can only grow, esp. given a number of wars we waged in MiddleEast (wounded veterans), stroke victims, car accidents, neuro diseases, rising median age, etc.
Thanks JMD, you kind of backed me up & you seem to be even a greater technical expert. You're also less emotional than me. Iam curious who you are & what brought you here? Asof me, Iam here b/c effin lost loads of money on AMPG & yet invested loads of energy in helping it before I realized years ago they're lame, short-sighted, and abusuve towards any tech initiative since 2008. OPM at work... Other People's Money is what it wants

Before that News, first a brief apparently unrelated note:
Yes I sound obsessed w/"MYO", but same was NutaniX (NTNX), its rating issued by GoldmanSachs not long ago as "an opportunity of a decade" did sound like a pump/hype claim but heck did it (ntnx) ride from 24 to $45/share (!) & Goldman is respected worldwide, some folks doubted me then & likewise doubt me now getting into "MYO", but now hear this!:

Computerized chain reaction... Stop Loss triggers. Typical fake panic
Will be back to $5.15-5.30 soon
"MyoMo/MyoPro Corp.", is a peculiar case. Went public IPO last summer, ticker/symbol "MYO" trading on NYStock.Exchange (NYSE-AMEX), but is structured unusually, oddly it raised enough initially thru CrowdFunding which isn't orthodox for respectable corporations w/great in-demand medical products, only afterwards Institutional investors followed (institutions currently hold 13% of it). Was a rollercoaster as it burdened itself with some loans, IPO shot to $23, then settled at $2.50/share, what followed is crazy - they actually ALREADY repaid major loans back (some Boston-based Med Research lender, etc.), got interest from US Dept. of Defense, beat earnings estimate in November 2017 & now coming 8March2018 is likely to beat again (develolment-stage co. "earnings" means lower loss on R&D vs. analysts), it is about to exit Development & enter Commercial stage co. Medical Robotic is (devices for people w/ neuro disorders or injuries, e.g. military veterans (wounded muscles/nerves), etc. Many customers, ripe for acquisition by a larger established Medical Device co. Point is: whoever buys "MYO" stock now & before 8March2018, might benefit. "Might" isn't a guarantee - never invest more than you can lose, but I discovered it & suspect "MYO" can be an interesting investment.
Ha! Celebrating afew cents gain per half year (wait for April 1st, however, to lose your gains on GE) all while MYO ("MYOMO Corp.") made me $4100/in one day today & tomorrow it'll run to $5.30-6.00/share, b/c its product is in real demand, not on paper/PR bs
What's really sleazy is for years R&D & "Breakthrus" result in DEAD sales that DON'T SHIP out of door, something must explain lack of profits.
Where are profits besides imaginary patent & "new digital GE", more like a new Enron/Woldcom.
Meanwhile, the money i pulled outta here is making & will make me nice profits on WALMART (WMT), folks panicked & sunk it -$13 in recent weeks while institutions hold 29% of it & ratings point at sharp rebound.
Good luck w/GE... you'll need it to make a few dollars - while rest of market makes real profit. Walmart is a bomb now (even Amazon still has room to grow).

Where is 10Q/4th Quarter 2017 SEC Filing? Ohh never mind, "PR" is what really the fake "product" is. What's really sleazy is that for years large Backlog it had, say in 2007, 2008 ($1.4Million adjusted for inflation) was "bad" as it indicated DEAD sales that DON'T SHIP out of door, it was avoided in convos with investors, but now wow "we have a new backlog"... b/c something must explain lack of profits ;) Effin master of deceipt.
Where are profits besides PR? By this logic any joint in some slum city can issue PR's weekly & drive up stock until a new Enron is born

I meant 4th Quarter 2017 Financials should be out by now & you'll see nothing's changing... again, another quarter/another year.
You'd be surprised to know WHO was responsible for a spike in Revenues afew years ago - someone who posted here. Then someone got peaced off 3d time in 8-9 years & gave up entirely. That someone wanted this company to become a $26-30M/year organically (internally) grown one, not inorganic B.S. & PR this farce is doing now.
Good news are the owner & couple folks still have jobs & owner been driving a Mercedes SUV since 2014 (or so, after 20 years of old "coffin on wheels") - thanks to gullible investors. I admit, though, AmpliTech serves a good Social function of employing people some of whom can't get any better, & he treats those unfortunate ones extremely kindly, he has a good nature. Problem is, good guys don't always finish first. He runs business wrongly, he loses people who could grow company, instead - he shrinks company by wandering, wavering... overeducated engineers aren't always good in business.
AND when one loses EVEN that - Technical ("core") skill, it's a double trouble. And when one's health needs attention - it's a triple trouble. And what did one do? He became Chef who blamed food for cooking bad soup, and eating more than he cooks - in financial terms? Bloody rubbish, as Queen would say.
Here are a few PR buzzwords he's been unloading onto gullible investors:
"Revolutionary cell towers, NASA, Quantum Computers, Disruptive Technology, Cybersecurity", what's next? Amplitech will read your brainwaves using their "EVEN LOWER Noise Figure" "revolutionary" amplifiers, Noise so low it's below 0dB, world's first negative NF (in dB) amplifier that also requires no DC bias, powered by pure Brownian Motion that makes Nyquist turn in his grave.
"It's a new thing", as kids would say. Soon-to-be in every Smartphone, with SMA Connectors coax cables inside phone.
That's right O'Brien. Things at CNBX will pickup before we retire or enter Nursing Home. Seventeen Years (17 YEARS) since 2001 & perpetual loss of talent/brain-drain just wasn't enough.
Meanwhile, the money i pulled outta here is making me nice profits on EXPEDIA (EXPE), folks panicked & sunk it -$24 in recent weeks while institutions hold 91% of it & ratings point at sharp rebound.
Good luck w/CNBX... you'll need it.

PEOPLE, go read weblink below to understand the risk & the kind of swindler that "Chairman" Todd Ault is. He AND his "Investors Relations" never responded to our multiple emails & calls. The link is below:

$2.45-2.70/share. GOOD NEWS, as tomorrow will rally. Don't ask how we know. Won't drop until July
Believe us or not, we care not, we say tomorrow average $2.45-2.70
Regards,
A.D.
$1.12-1.17/share SORRY, to DISAPPOINT but tomorrow is a selloff. Don't ask how we know. Won't rise until March/more likely April.
Believe us or not, we care not, we say tomorrow low $1.12-1.17

If you're a typical retail kid/investor, YOU should sell :) (whereas we wait for April).
I suspect you're 20-something, lacking experience or that gift "greedy when others pamic - W.Buffet" that I have. I've seen death statements for BitCoin hundreds of times since 2011, but with programmatically capped supply, it's exchange rate vs. inflatable dollar euro, can only rise year over year. Dips & spikes are "noise" over steady trend
What's the deal with kids screaming "Panic!"? The Dow declined mere 4.6% off its hyper-ballooned level of 26K+, whereas Black Monday (Oct1987) was a catastrophic decline 23%, don't even mention 1929. Also, these past 2 business days declines (Fri+Mon 2+5Feb2018) is NOT even in top 20 decliners (percentage-wise)!! The market behaves very normal today to stage a long OVERDUE correction vs. its parabolic rise in mere months. I'd not press panic button even if we see a drop to 23K the following days. What's really annoying is the whole concept of DOW in itself - obsolete & no longer measuring health of investing engines. Those 30 components are firsly, too few, secondly too old. Dow includes dinosaurs like General Electric, that hadn't been innovative in ages, and yet Apple Inc isn't replacing GE in Dow, why not?! Because, Wall Street is a slave of Traditions. Akin to British still spelling encyclopedia as encyclopaedia, we allow Dow to impress public as it rises & falls regardless of REAL health of economy. Employment is good, wages rising, non-Dow companies rising, heck many didn't lose a cent today while Dow plunged 1175 points. I am personally only involved with 1 Dow component (GE), why do we treat this index same way as decades ago? Neither is NASDAQ enough anymore.
WARNING: IGNORANCE - since when "DPW Corp." became somehow an equivalent of CryptoCurrency, e.g. BitCoin ?! Too many traders panicked as a reaction to a large pullback in Bitcoin price, in part causing selloff of DPW, we suspect. But DPW is not Butcoin, it has a significant stake in it yet it's not controlling fate of DPW, a military & state-of-the-art commercial electronics supplier. PSU's (Power Supply units) design is somewhat trivial, but making it MIL.Spec (Military grade) & Rad-Hard (Radiation-hardened) isn't, and to me as an electrical Engineer, acquisition of Microphase Corp. by DPW is a bigger deal than all PowerSupplies & Bitcoin hype. Microphase is an RF/Microwave Comm.Equipment co. & making ANYTHING in Microwave frequencies (6-27GHz, mmW 27-300GHz) is extremely difficult dueto manual wirebonding under microscopes & design EDA/CAD Software is very expensive, so is Test Equipment expensive. Microphase needed investment, dearly, and it now got DPW (which includes your money, shareholders). The profits DPW is going to realize, will be very significant from these dueto low competition, as barrier to enter Micro/MillimeterWave freq. market is super high : not "every" company can.
To conclude,
I do worry about BitCoin, but not much & mostly about ignorant Traders selling off DOW merely on BitCoin news, rather than BitCoin itself - which DPW isn't. DPW is not BitCoin !! Do these sellers understand?
Amos Kohn & Todd Ault must correct their excessive reliance on BitCoin & focus on other newly acquired subsidiaries of DPW as it's growing rapidly, also, e.g. Microphase Corp., Medical, Textile ckmpanies & that $50Million order they received.
$2.41-2.57/share next week (correction in ptevious post we meant NEXT, not this week. Expect rally; will remain there before rising to $3 but only weeks later.
Don't ask how we know

68 is an obvious mistake in "shareholders of record". Might be referring to the newly-formed Holding co., not orig. Digital Power.
There's NO chance a NYSE-traded entity & well-known in Silicon Valley, and with active discussions on multiple boards, member of numerous organizations, etc. would have "68 shareholders of record". I've seen this type of errors/typos before even in Hundreds-$Million dollar cap range companies, it's a bureaucratic human or machine-generated erroneous record
But they're humorous
$5/share?, $13?, $20? Really? A $150-170Billion global company, with deep footprint in US Government operations (INFRASTRUCTURE/TRANSPORT, HEALTHCARE) can fold like this?
We say: $22-24/share this Summer.
P.S. My parents & I only buy GE appliances, they once tried Asian - it was marketed well & looked attractive on the outside, but not reliable, didn't last. Back to GE again - new refrigerator, wash/dry, & high-end MWave Oven.
And Kazakhstan, few weeks ago bought $930Million - $1Billion worth of Railroad upgrades from GE (locomotives & rail-construction machinery), this will indicate in new Earnings reports (April?) after current one (Jan)
$4/share next week. May declare bankruptcy
But I DID REACH CEO - believe it or not.
Reason is I became worried as Inv.Relations phone# (888) never picked-up/not returned my 3 VoiceMails.
Then I found Garry Gottlieb responsible for it, was in a hospital a few days - explained silence, finally reached him by cell# (areacode 310 i.e. EastCoast vs. company main 510 in California). Had a useful conversation, then on top of it thru Fernando (VP Sales) reached CEO.
Result is, I now worry much less, by the way recent shareprice drop is a temporary dilution dueto some beneficiary excercizing their right to sell a set # of shares, mid-February/early March will see $4.80-6/share again, $7-9-11 this Summer
DPW vs. CNBX:
I decided to put my $69,000 not back into CNBX, as planned for "in Jan-Feb2018", but into a different stock - "DPW". Can't continue a stake in a business producing ZERO & when it will, mostly Patents, admit it - narcotics (even soft as Marijuana), are evil.
Why bother w/CNBX, when "DPW Holdings" (now owns subsidiaries - Microphase Corp. CoolSys, some medical co. & several others) has made an 11x trip in a year & target is $5-6/share February, $11 Summer 2018.
When you buy DPW, you effectively buy Microphase Corp. (RF Comm equipment for US Military) + CoolSys (a rising star of digital/crypto-currency mining, BitCoin Ethereum, LiteCoin Monero, etc) + DigiPower itself (Military & hardened/rugged power supplies) + a few others under one Corp.
Plus beware, DPW trades on world's major NYSE stock.exchange under ticker/symbol "DPW" - & NYSE is not a shady/slow OTC "exchange" CNBX is on.
Important point is EVEN if Cryptos fail, i.e. if China/S.Korea gov. regulators succeed in chockkng off Bitcoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin, Monero, etc., the core business of DPW isn't it - it's the military PSU + RFMW equipment e.g. thru Microphase, DPW has just received a series of US Airforce contracts & thru DigitalPower (orig. co) Navy contract.
Its other subsidiary CoolSys Inc. created the world's most powerful power solution for CryptoCurrencies Mining (BitCoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin, etc.) - shipping in 19days to fulfill 1000's of backorders. But that as said, is only one of multiple reasons revenue is revised up EVEN if Cryptos fail.
"DPW" is still cheap $2-3/share & is going to triple within months, then to $11 Summer; based in SiliconValley CA.
Think of what you invest in - delusional promises of weed for years & more pitching, or tangible REALITY/real technology products.
P.S.
I've ZERO relation to DPW, just the other month finally got out of frustrating CNBX (with little profit & their pipe-dream promises of "revenue" from non-existant operations) after such a LONG time, & on the contrary making & WILL MAKE large gains on DPW
Should've replaced CNBX long ago.
Whereas, DPW has a headroom to $5-6/share February & $11/share Summer2018
GE stock - buying now can make you rich as well.
I loaded on both DPW + GE/at $16.32 today, is a robbery.
While Marijuana stocks are for jesters & fools buying evil/poison
Just another opinion that'll come true
I am opinionated.
I opied on many things, e.g. my x-boss dying of old age & drinking (he did die sooner than should), sun being yellow, blue skies & green grass on a clear sunny day.
General Electric (GE) stock is oversold, will return to $23 by end of year (infrastructure is on US Gov. urgent agenda). 2+2 = 4 in Eucledian decimal arithmetics.
DPW (DigitalPower Corp./Holdings) price going to $5-6/share very soon. Jerry Garcia is still dead.
Some things are obvious.

I called CEO + VP.Finance (at DPW/DigiPower Holdings), no less.
Whereas, their Investors Relations dept. was too slow to respond, I finally reached CEO despite his biz.trip out of California state.
I gathered we'll see $4.70-5.60/share soon, but not very soon - around early to mid February.
P.S. I DON'T care if you don't believe. Reaching a CEO is routine for me, Electronics engineer here, having worked for small/midsize defense (RFcomm electronics) companies, I am not a stranger to bypassing layers between us, VP Engineering, VP Finance & CEO/President.
This call had to be done. I can sleep better now with $27,000 shares in this (DPW Holdings) stock
It maybe so, but Microphase Corp. is getting large US Airforce (+Navy) contracts now; whereas its past stake in AMPG - could be one reason it "faced bankruptcy"... LOL! Not anymore.
And DPW Holdings (holding Microphase) thru INorganic growth did & will make many investors richer & FASTER than a lifetime we spend for AMPG "chicken" to bring eggs for 17 years.
Imagine the money tied in AMPG - if it were invested elsewhere while D.Trump is in power, how much did we miss! "DPW" stock rose from 50-60cents to 2 bucks in a few months (shot to $5-6 for some weeks, now moderated dueto CryptoCurrency regulations).
Think of it. Life is short... at least mine is. I made more on DPW & will make more in coming months
DPW vs. AMPG
Why bother w/AMPG, when "DPW Holdings" now owns Microphase Corp. (as one of its subsidiaries), which in turn got rid of or about to compete sell-off of its ownership/stake in stagnating AMPG?! When you buy DPW, you effectively buy Microphase Corp. (along w/ CoolSys & a few others involved in digital/crypto-currency mining)
Plus beware, DPW trades on world's major NYSE stock.exchange under ticker/symbol "DPW" - & NYSE is not a shady/slow OTC "exchange" AMPG is on.
Thru Microphase, DPW is supplying U.S.Military (mostly AirForce, some Navy) with RF Communication equilment, besides their "roots" in performance/military-hardened power.supplies (PSU's) AND its other subsidiary CoolSys Inc. created the world's most powerful power solution for CryptoCurrencies Mining (BitCoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin, etc.) - shipping in 27days to fulfill 1000's of backorders. But new AirForce & Navy contracts are only one of multiple reasons revenue is revised up.
"DPW" is still mere $2-3/share & is going to triple within months, owns Microphase Corp. of CT which received a major US Airforce contract + owns a number of other small but agile Defense-related co.'s - on top of CoolSys Inc.
"DPW" is their Holding. co./stock, based in SiliconValley CA & is still cheap $2-3/share (before it rises first to $5-6 very soon, then to $11 Summer).
Even if Cryptos fail, i.e. if China/S.Korea gov. regulators succeed in chockkng off Bitcoin, Ethereum, LiteCoin, Monero, etc., the core business of DPW isn't it - it's the military PSU + RFMW equipment, that AmpliTech is trying to "revolutionize" for 17 years. Think of what you invest in - delusional promises for 17years & more pitching, or tangible REALITY.
$5.42-5.91/share by (this) Spring 2018. Guaranteed.
Don't ask me how we know.
Not even dominated by crypto-mining, more by US Dept. of Defense/Military orders at DPW's subsidiary Microphase Corp. (RFMW amplifiers for U.S. AirForce, awarded multiple contracts in pipeline)
I moved money out of here (CNBX) temporarily to BitCoin-related stuff & making some huge gains, since yesterday :), but not for long - soon Cryptos (Bitcoin, Ether, LiteCoin, Monero, whatever) bubble will burst & I won't spend even 1-2 months there, when I return money to CNBX, it'll run. When I buy, it's like $60-80K orders.
Couldn't resist Cryptos esp. Bitcoin but also others, run the past weeks, insane... will burst. One legislation or IRS move & it'll deflate. Look how Chinese lawmakers already made Bitcoin bulls panic, when it plunged $450-500 months ago.
My CNBX position is reduced to zero today, but I'll be back at 50-60Kshares before early January
