Arista Power, Inc. (ASPW)

[delgriffith]

Fair point - but I didn't mean to imply that Arista had nothing to say, only that a more sophisticated, professional type of investor would probably want to see more evidence of actual contracts than we've seen up to this point. I think the Army contract is a watershed event for Arista. The way I read The Equity Group press release, a main job for this firm will be to present the Arista story to professional-type investors who may be looking for early-stage companies like this. (Take a look at the last part of Schmitz's quote). I think up to now, i.e., before the Army contract, this would have been more difficult. That's why I think the timing is perfect. Can you imagine what would happen to this stock if a few big investors became long-term believers and started buying it as a long-term investment? Scary to even think about it!
