The only problem with those ideas is they are thinking only of ATTD in the short term. APS has a very bad reputation as far as who they get involved with.
If you are trying to build a reputation, you don't do it by selling out so to speak. There is absolutely no disputing that APS would get the share price to rise. (probably dramatically)
I will guarantee you however that the SEC would be all over this stock for a long time to follow. I have thought the same thing about another company I am in that is also starting to make money, the problem is that the easy way is rarely the best way.
CEOs are best off running the company for the benefit of the company. Shareholders are along for the ride. We just have to determine how long our tickets are good for.
If the company is strong, shareholders will realize it soon enough. BIG things start to happen when the products prove themselves. If they can larger investors will carry the future for ATTD. Keep in mind that the majority of real money, won't even join the game until the stock LEGITIMATELY reaches higher levels.
If they can't that would be the time to call in APS because the stock will die anyway. I follow APS and have considered playing their picks knowing they are pump and dumps. A great deal of money could be made if you play them right. One mistake will wipe out any gains you have. A mistake by them, or enforcement that should be happening by the SEC and your money is stuck in a halted stock. I don't want them near any long term plays I am hoping for.
