Trading is purely a hobby. I got hooked 25 years ago when I bought stock in Telephonos de Mexico. Make enough money to pay off my house and car.

Built it back up and lost it all on OZON. Went on a missions trip to Cuba with the stock at 0.41 and returned to find it at 0.04. Today it is at 0.0013.

Had a big win two years ago on SIRI, paid for two new cars.

Latest fiasco was GNOM, but AONE may win it back.

Other plays include GTAT, JDSU, LDK, and of course GNOM.

Always looking for something new, althougth a nice safe play would be nice.

All my retirement money is in guaranteed return; none of it in the market.

Off to a viewing tonight.

Check back in late this evening. Hoping for an uneventful AH trading session.

If the Johnson bid is accepted, what happens to the common stock?

Hard to say at this point, but through the reorganization process, the common stock could be canceled with no value. Please see our Investor FAQ at www.a123systems.com/about-us-asset-purchase-agreement-and-chapter-11-filing.htm for more information.

Can AONE reverse their bankruptcy intention?

We filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection because we missed two debt payments – that can’t be reversed

What are companies bidding for? What is up for bids?

Johnson controls and others are bidding for assets under reorganization

What influence do the bids have on share price and why?

Impact on common shares depends on the outcome of bankruptcy court

What is the value of the common stock under the various scenarios? High and Low.

I can’t speculate on share price. See also #1 above

What are the key dates going forward? Does risk increase or decrease October 30 and November 9?

What happens when the judge rules on the highest bidder?
