Arista Power, Inc. (ASPW)

Fossil: The chart you link to pre-dates current management, which basically took over in mid 2010. Also, saying ASPW lost 82% since 2009 leaves out a key part of the story since the stock traded at the $20+ level for a very short period of time (the first 3 days of trading, without a close over $20). That being said, I totally agree that 2010 and 2011 were not good years as an ASPW stockholder. Let's turn to 2012, though.

How about this one: In 2012, ASPW has increased 85%. Management has delivered on a large army contract and is prime contractor. Arista has partnered with perhaps the best possible company for it in GE. That's a pretty good 2012. I am optimistic that 2012 - 2013 will be more like early 2012 and not 2010. We can't change history, but we can profit from the future.
