Short interest is negligible, Ameritrade doesn't even have a figure listed for short interest-just 2 dashes. The price bobs around on small lot sales because there is near zero buying interest!! The groups that bought at $4.50 must be scratching their head and saying WTF, this isn't what mgmt pitched us before we opted in! I bought more at $4.55 after the offering and again yesterday at $4.10, each time thinking "it can't go much lower, can it"? Luckily for me I got into AAOI in the low $50's which has offset some of the $60k paper loss I'm experiencing since the offering debacle. I have a critical care background, so I'm extremely confident about the filters capabilities/potential. Wish I could say the same about our mgmt.
