BEEN THERE......DONE THAT......!!!!!
Like any other REAL INVESTOR ......I would have preferred that PPS held at @ 8 to 10 cents per share (or increased) while we wait to see if AIPN really could produce a long-term and lucrative contract with a major player. I'm talking a five year plus deal that would make the decent revenue from the short-lived SG contract look like Monopoly money.
Obviously......This has not happened.
Tonight AIPN investors must confront the seemingly harsh reality that shares of AIPN actually traded today at less than 4 cents per share and even at that price there was little volume.
We've all heard the rumors that GCA is strapped for money and is currently using AIPN as a pincushion in the dog-eat-dog world of debenture finance ......but assume for a moment that this rumor is not true and AIPN has drifted to a new low on its own lack of momentum and/or merit.
What does it all mean......?
Sorry ......But for me it means NOTHING!
Push the PANIC button if that is your temperament......
But ask yourself this......!
If a MASSIVE REFINERY CONTRACT is announced ......will it not move AIPN into the same ballpark we had all hoped for when AIPN was @ a dime a share?
Does it actually matter if in the last few moments before any such announcement ......AIPN is selling at a dime a share, a nickel a share or a penny a share?
THE DEAL (if it occurs) IS WORTH WHAT THE DEAL IS WORTH......Pure and simple!
PPS may stagger a bit rather than sprint ......but like water it will seek it's own level like a river responding to rain in the mountains hundreds of miles away from the delta.
On the other hand......If the MASSIVE REFINERY DEAL is just so much flummery ......
The handwriting may already be on the wall of an arroyo previously strewn with the bleached bones of prior investors......
Unless (Be still my AIPN heart) 1551 suddenly floods our seemingly cul-de-sac arroyo with anomalous animation.
SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!
The fact of the matter is that AIPN is just like 99.9% of all stocks on every exchange.
Lack of execution will cause it to flounder......!
Execution will cause it to flourish......despite PPS!
Am I the only REAL INVESTOR on this board who has ever had the pleasure of watching stocks mimic The Flight Of The Phoenix?
Who has not BEEN THERE......DONE THAT?
IMNHO......The PPS of AIPN tonight is as meaningless as the PPS of ORCL.
