API Nanotronics (ATNY)

[downsideup]

There is no shortage of opportunity in the current market... which doesn't mean the opportunities won't get larger rather than smaller later this week...

Agree APIA isn't a short term play... you might trade it, but I've many more compelling short term trade candidates. Otherwise, I don't see any benefit in choosing investments that have already been recognized for their accomplishments and the nature of their opportunities, rather than buying those with accomplishments and opportunities that others haven't recognized yet. The risks are what they are... and they really aren't that different from one exchange to another... for the same reasons gun control doesn't work. So, your advocacy for that boils down to telling us we should put more trust in the same analysts who thought CDS and auction rate securities were as good as cash... than we do in our own DD abilities. Not buying that...

The exchange on which shares trade doesn't do anything to improve management decision making or limit management focus to shareholders best interest... so you are better off doing the DD and qualifying the quality, focus, experience and track record of management yourself... than convincing yourself that anything else matters as much.
