for anyone who might be confused why aero .. and this board in particular .. might be getting so much attention by some *peeps*
all one has to do is look back into january 08 when tellingly
aero filed the 14c in lieu of the 14a .. and why that is so important is .. because beside saving shareholders of record money .. and time <approx 4 weeks> aero tipped their hand to the mm's
there is only so much time left for them
it's all in this link .. you can see exactly who has benefitted from the attentions .. esp since the r/m was completed in october 2007
--- it's the time factor now that has some in a panic .. notice you never see a long extolling anyone to buy one share -- we could care less
we collectively hold a healthy chunk of the float .. and not surprisingly since aero files .. and files on time
and the ceo has every intention of reaching *break even* status sooner rather than later .. it could very well happen by may -- most likely by this summer ..
again .. some of us .. work backwards time frame .. time wise .. and yep sorry been there done that .. the boogie man words tossed out so frequently re: a r/s or dilution mean nothing when used appropriately
and knowing that aero has just put behind them the worst qtr <seasonality wise> that aero faces to say nothing of the operational expenses of getting all of the new distributors on board and fully stocked ..
like i said .. fin was kind enough to drop another hint .. with his mix of aero's products <23> it's a tip -- for what may be coming from other countries in europe .. we'll see
but it's not just fin .. those who chose to avail themselves can find out the allied no.s and do some rough math .. i've posted that info previously but hey don't rely on me .. call ir or call allied
allied <along with some smaller distributors> was pr'd by management .. in the fall of 07 --
there are also indy <independent> dealers completely unconnected to any distributors .. some old and some new ones .. who've signed on .. per ir <who speaks for management> .. not every dealer will or has been .. pr'd
and if you don't think this management isn't conservative two things right off the bat come to mind ..one they only pr'd 100 dealers signed on -- the actual no. was 107 -- it's now higher .. again phone calls are required here
secondly .. and this is the biggest irony and i can tell exactly who did dd by their posts .. if management didn't care about their shareholders --- they wouldn't have quibbled over dr. gas' *valuation* .. they would have done the acquisition and damned the consequences .. that favorite term used so frequently by some who have no idea what it encompasses .. or why it's utilized by a successful start up or emerging company
dilution .. it didn't happen .. instead based on what has just been pr'd this past week .. we can somewhat connect the dots .. or at least i can .. we have a boutique investment banking firm <boutique terminology covers the size of the loan> we then have the focus now on *in house* manufacturing for the pipes .. only idjf pointed out the other possibilities there .. but again as i always caution..one step at a time .. and lastly .. we have those east coast distributors <they are the ones with the 3 month stocking requirement ... again .. do the math>
you don't think it's paramount they get inventoried before the *season* does kick off ..
well i do .. and i fully expect .. news on all 3 fronts to be pr'd .. by management ... shortly -- perhaps even as early as next week ..
what is so interesting .. is you have a company that has done everything they said they would do ..
i trust in this company .. because their actions allow me to
and unlike some i have always from my very first posts in aero .. cautioned both patience and time ..
imo the worst is behind us .. and others know it full well
