Whether we like it or not, Seeking Alpha articles are an effective way to move share prices up or down. Unfortunately in the case of Sphere3D there has been much more eagerness on the part of SHORTS to produce NEGATIVE articles than there has been on the side of LONGS to produce POSITIVE articles.
Why is that? Are we too lazy? Are we too "sophisticated" to use such a simplistic medium? Do longs not have the belief and passion that the shorts do? I don't have an answer. Perhaps others here do.
ANYway, the Sphere/Overland story needs to be told. Recent PR's have not had any really positive effect on the share price because they have all been about new product offers. That type of news usually doesn't move the price. The most exciting news is that presented on this message board about the positive response to GlassWare by important people in the computer industry. But who else is aware of all these great reviews and tweets besides the folks on this board and the HTFBS subscribers. Unfortunately most on this board and subs already are loaded to the gills in ANY/OVRL.
So with the price of both issues pretty much in the dumper, and the need for many new eyes on this wonderful opportunity, what better way to do that than a really positive, exciting Seeking Alpha article about this undervalued little gem? Another stock I have a large holding in is SuperCom (SPCB). Recently one of the posters on the Yahoo message board for that stock sumitted his first Seeking Alpha article about it. It was accepted, published and had a very positive effect on the share price. Of course that was followed by a fantastic earnings report in which they quadrupled revenues and projected a terrific future. A nice article now followed by the publicity that will come with the completion of the merger might have the same type of positive effect on ANY and get the share price back over $10 where it belongs.
I would be happy to write an article, but I am a tech DUMMY so I would definitely not be the one to do it. Most likely person would be Scott Shaffer. With everything he already has written he could whip something up in a minute. If not Scott, there are so many guys here who understand the tech, are enthusiastic about the future, and are great at expressing themselves. Is there anyone who would volunteer to do this? I think everyone would be forever grateful.
