So they weren't so greedy today but where is that supposedly 700,000 buy on here. It happened at 14:46 time stamp.
I did say it was actually showing at a 600,000 sell with some buys immediately after on my 1 second tic. Strange how that is. When they combine the minute's sales it doesn't matter if 99% was a lower sell but how the minute ends to make it green or red thus duping the crowd.

Well everyone thought yesterdays was such an odd number but they never took into account the 700,000 that happened earlier and I am not talking about the screw up that showed twice. With both those together it would have been a round 2mil.
Vic ; )
My guess 1,286,000.
Vic ; )
Back in the end of December I bought 200,000 one day and it never showed anywhere. Not on Scottrade, or the Nasdaq real time quotes, or Yahoo Finance. There were a bunch of sells around the time it went through, but my buy was no where. That one I bought in the middle of the day and it showed in my account immediately.
Vic ; )
But they are collecting the buys now. Look at all the 100 trades. And that supposedly buy order is showing 600,000 as a sell on my 1 second tick on my Scottrade Elite, next to a bunch of smaller buys. Remember a long time ago when I said a couple of times that I had buy orders in and they didn't show up as being filled until after close and they filled at different prices then what the close was and had a time stamp that was much earlier. I am sure that is what is happening now too. I can find the posts if you want to see.
Vic ; )
Looks like they are just trying get a higher price for their eod order. Make peeps think it is running and get a higher price for the sell order. Notice the channel?
Vic ; )
Well fluff it is, but again, if it moves a little and scares short sellers into covering, it could actually get some momo going. Look what happened to GBSN recently.
Vic ; )
Well finally something good but it didn't really say anything that we already didn't find out. The great thing about it is that it has been so long since positive news came out and if a short squeeze could occur from it, this could actually pop a lot.
Vic ; )
You are absolutely correct. I myself know of one instance when "preaching to the choir" had an absolutely amazing result!
Vic ; )
Wouldn't that be preaching to the choir?
Just say'n,

If you click on the author's name, he actually writes some decent pieces too. Doesn't seem like a typical Seeking Alpha shorter.

Just wait for the pump. Small things are appearing. Those little obscure articles, then the biggie, then the split. Mark this post sweetie.
Vic ; )
I think it was completely related to Satellite's post. Very much on target.
Vic ; )
Face it you guys, sales are only a bonus for this company. Right now they have a not stop gravy train. If Lee is smart he will do some kind of pumping relating ASTI to the Superbowl just before the 6th, split, then keep pumping it for potential sales before the 11th, to hold the price and/or maybe increase it. After the 11th, he can then start again with the dilution. It is their gravy train. Why should they fix it if it ain't broke?
Vic ; )
So what you are saying then is that people should wait for a few years to get in when the company is actually sound ......instead of watching their initial investment sink to pennies (or as in the case of all those who invested prior to the R/S of 08/14 sub pennies) and let a CEO who flips his finger at his investors figure out another way to make money for his company, such as in sales?
PPS will matter on Feb. 11th. Very much so.
Vic ; )
Did you copy and past that?
Because it almost seems like the first was a canned response and the other was definitely not.
Vic ; )
Yes I realize all of that but getting the s/p to stay there would be difficult and the crazy thought of having funds as well, for a buffer of protection just came to my mind.
Vic ; )
You're right, 35 million. I know that is a crazy thought but how the hell are they going to do it now?
Vic ; )
I have a very wild and maybe ridiculous thought (face it their situation is dire now) but..... Do you think that because they needed a 30,000,000 dollar market cap, they might have did all this financing to obtain cash on hand as part of their worth, then pump the stock at the last minute to get it to a better value as well (would have to be one muther of a pump because so many would sell out) but then do an r/s at the last minute to gain compliance?
I know, it sounds extreme, but they are in an extreme state right now.
Vic ; )
It is all relevant Cheche. It isn't the share price so much as the investment. Getting to .50 for a 500 dollar investment is much better at this point than getting to .10 for a 50,000 dollar investment.
Personal for all,
Vic ; )
Boooya!!!!! Better than .05!!!!!
Vic ; )
I completely agree, seems like manipulation. I don't care as long as they go the right direction. Just to let you know I am totally cool on all of this and I trust you and will follow your lead.
Vic ; )
Check this out???????

Thanks Cheche. Hehehe, believe it or not, I actually know how to come across pleasant and intelligent when I need to. I have looked in to this company very much so. I am just very curious what he has to offer. It doesn't do anyone any good to ever bite the hand that feeds you. Even if they are just throwing scraps.
Vic ; )
No one. I sent Victor an email and told him about that B.S. article that was out saying Mohican sold interest in the Company and asked if he could do a P.R. to investors (similar to what he did a couple of weeks ago when there was that other misprint) and asked a few other fluff questions, no reply. And I called Adam but was put into voicemail, no reply as well.
Vic ; )
I actually did email Victor and tried to Call Adam. Was very polite and actually pointed out the misprint to Victor about Mohican Financial pulling out 60% of ASTI. Asked him if you could at least do a correction on that for his investors. Never received any reply.
Vic ; )
November 12th & 13th were the last time this stock had two days in a row of closing higher than it opened on buying pressure. I think it is long overdue.
Vic ; )
And from where? Don't forget that. 400% x .02 is only .08. So it makes investors who don't want to take a loss pretty much stuck averaging down to make up for where they entered. Pretty scary right now where the bottom could be.
Vic ; )
I don't think it is crazy at all. It is sad that it has gotten here. It was just they way you said that to Clay. I was thinking "no kidding why is he bothering to analyze this now? "
Vic ; )
Porky.... you made me laugh so hard with this post last night.....

Thanks I needed that right now.

Asti does have a lot going for them. They are in a great market, they could do a lot. But if they continue to use this quick finance fix approach they are going to lose all credibility. The price decreased after the Dec 1st, 2nd run and then bounced nicely on technicals but if they try this again, I am afraid too many investors will be wise to their shortcomings.
They need better marketing!
They need better marketing!
THEY NEED BETTER MARKETING!!!!!!!
Vic; )
Exactly.
We are still seeing the price change from the last 30,000,000 still being dumped into the float.
Redwood will sell these new shares they acquired when the price is higher than what they paid ASTI for them.
That is how they make money. They don't invest. They do deals.
Vic ; )
That is why I said look at last time. 12/01/15 S-1 comes out so does 2 so/so press releases. Price is able to go up. 12/02/15 comes the big p.r. Price goes up again. 73 million shares traded and the price comes down in half of the two day run. Why is that? Because there was buying pressure but it was offset with Redwood filling the float. It said in that first S-1 that the max they had to pay for shares was what.1398 and after they received them they were able to dump them for twice or even more of what they paid.
And as far as nobody selling right now, I am sure that is true, looks like Redwood still has quite a few left over from the last transaction and are waiting for the new pump to sell. That is why Victor can easily say that they are buying not selling. But their buying is not good.
Vic ; )
Exactly Cheche, FROM ASTI not the market. Issued shares, just like the bigs were issued shares for bonuses. ASTI didn't buy them from the market then give them to the Board. And Redwood isn't buying them from the float and giving money to ASTI. ASTI is issueing them from the Authorized Shares increasing the Outstanding Shares. That is why the S-1 is filed. To show that transaction. That is the whole loan deal. ASTI needs money. ASTI issues shares to Redwood from what is Authorize. Redwood pays ASTI for shares (at a very low price), ASTI pumps then Redwood dumps (at a higher price) increasing the float and everyone makes money. Well except for us because now the pump has worn off and the share price has adjusted to the float size, unless we sell when Redwood does into the pump.
Vic ; )
But the MMs are not filling them. ASTI is/did directly on paper. They already captured their price agreement and contracted it. Now if the price goes down further before money is exchanged between the two companies, then yes it can be re-evaluated lower. But still, the deal is done. O.S. was increased with that S-1. It is only when they start selling the shares they received that it becomes dilution into the float.
Vic ; )
But how does this financing avoid an R/S?
Vic ; )
Never mind, just saw it came in.
Vic ; )
Cheche, I did not see any afternoon large dump today. I mean there were 2 half millish trades but nothing else. Have any come in after hours? I'm at work and can't see squat! Anyway I still think the buying of shares is one transaction from ASTI and if Redwood is done selling the others, today might have been the day for it and tomorrow could begin a pump.
IMHO,
Vic ; )
I'd rather be chasing it. At least then I would have conformation that it is going in the right direction.
By the way, there is a synergy in keeping your longs strong and not causing a mass exodus like they have. Victor obviously doesn't understand that.
