I have questions back and forth with John Peterson on this issue. He says they own nothing.

I am trying to understand the following:

Reporting Person Number of Shares of Percentage of Number of
Common Stock Outstanding Shares Outstanding Shares
Beneficially of Common Stock2 of Common Stock3
Owned1,2
Wanxiang Group 34,839,097 9.99% 348,739,707
Wanxiang America 34,839,097 9.99% 348,739,707
Wanxiang Foundation 34,839,097 9.99% 348,739,707
Guanqiu Foundation 34,839,097 9.99% 348,739,707
Dr. Lu 34,839,097 9.99% 348,739,707

This is from

Does this not give Wanxiang incentive to maintain share value.

No it doesn't. The Form 13D/A Wanxiang filed with the SEC on October 15th is here.

The SEC's beneficial ownership rules require a holder like Wanxaing to report both shares owned, and shares that can be acquired on the exercise of warrants and options.

When Wanxaing made the first bridge loan advances to A123, it got a bridge loan warrant that can be exercised to buy shares one of two ways. Wanxiang can either write a check for the exercise price, or exchange its secured debt for the exercise price. Neither event seems likely until the Bankruptcy is resolved because the secured creditor position is so much more advantageous than the stockholder position.

sold most of my holdings today at .124. $2k profit. Not the $20k profit I would have realized at .19, but profit nontheless.

Still holding 100k shares but will sell those if we have another gain.

Too confusing for me to hold. I have no clue as to where this is headed, but it can't be good.
