Archinia -- While there is probably a lot of corporate money out there, as you point out about Goodyear, I doubt that any large corporation is going to involve itself in a 'rescue' effort of a small wanabee company. More that likely, the 'goodyears' of the tire biz are working with many, many companies soliciting their business. Aido is just another solicitor with an interesting product that may or may not fit into a future 'goodyear' product list.
And, too....aido is probably one of many banging on tire-company doors, and from time to time, Aido gets attention...so it seems from they post about trials, etc. I'm sure that tire companies have no loyalty to aido....aido is just another company with something to perhaps enhance a tire company profile.
What troubles me is that by aido trying to generate more cash, aido undercut every loyal and potential buyer who as of today had to pay 20 cents/share. I don't understand any of the details of such offer, so I hope that not any joe-investor can get for a dime this coming week what costs us double that. 'Unfair', I holler, but maybe it is a demonstration of how fast aido needs the dough and just how needy they are to meet what expectations potential customers have of delivery and product.
On yet the other hand, that news was around on Friday, and the stock did not go down to 14 cents, and, in fact, ticked up a bit....so maybe there will be some positive interpretation to that S-1 registration. We'll know in a few days is the price will stick, increase, or....heaven forbid, drop.
Finally, if aido does indeed get more contracts and approaches profitably, it won't make much difference if they have 62 million or 102 millions shares in the float.
Oh, yes...and this: I've seen reference here to the offering having six months....but when I read it, or scan it, I see that it is an offering from time of acceptance of offering (by SEC?) and June 30, 2009. Seems like one year endurance to me, and not just six months. Or, when is it effective? Help me out on this one..........
