StormyMonday -- I'm glad that you're interested in aido. There's several of us here who have been waiting a long time for aido to finally score big with contracts and with pps. We stay with it because it seems inevitable.
On the other hand, there are a few pesky folks here who continue to post their sour attitudes, using the same reasons over and over to bash aido....all of which are questionable as the naysayers have no more information about what is going on behind the scenes than anyone else. It's only their opinions, which, I think, stem from the observations that there is little interest in buying aido at this time....one one person thinks that insiders are going to soon be dumping. To the contrary, it seems that the selling has essentially stopped, largely with end of year tax selling.
As you point out, there is little interest overall in pennies, so why should aido be excepted? For that matter, the whole market is just terrible, and the big money people use any excuse to dump stocks. So....to conclude... my feeling is that this is a good time to buy aido, when the interest is so little. It is at its lowest pps in many years, and yet it's future looks the brightest.
