ATTENTION NEW and POTENTIAL ADOT SHAREHOLDERS and OLD LONGS WHO ARE TEMPTED TO SELL: YOU MUST BE INSANE FOR SELLING AT THESE PRICES. I haven't posted in a while because many of the asylum's out patients appear to be hanging out at the ADOT board.
Read the Weston and Stockreporter.de information and you must be impressed with the potential of this company. (The strong buy cited is from a "leading European financial Internet publication" who specializes in microcap and undervalued OTC and BB companies.)
They include some pretty good reasons to own ADOT such as "ADOT is one of the most interesting companies to come to our attention in recent years."
How about, "no other company is working on like products."
And, "ADOT is a first class investment opportunity and one of the most promising shares currently traded in the OTC and BB segment."
Impressed yet?
Don't you wish you owned Microsoft 15 years ago..
Of course there's also my ongoing list of reasons to be optimistic about ADOT and your investment.
1. ADOT is a young company....established in 1996.
2. They have a patented technology for Flat Panel Displays. Space on conventional billboards is at a premium and a dynamic bright, highly visible display should be in great demand. Their technology may very well be the BEST there is.
3. Technology is viable across many applications and industries including military and medical. There is the possibility that many companies will ultimately pay them royalties.
4. Their first production billboard is in the final production stages and due out THIS YEAR .
5. They own 22% of BioModa Inc. which may also have huge potential in the field of cancer detection. Recently it has been reported that offers to buy BioModa have been tendered by other companies. This will add to ADOT's bottom line in either cash or stock in another company.
6. BioModa (as described in Weston) may actually have an agreement with China for a lung cancer diagnostic package in Shanghai
7. ADOT technology is used to produce the cancer detection scanning devices used by BioModa
8. They have purchased 25% of WIZARD Technologies Inc. a fiber-optics development stage company with what appears to be innovative and ideas for high profitability.
10. ADOT is a fully reporting company.
11. The ADOT product is reported to be superior to competitors. Maybe cheaper too.
12. The shares outstanding and float (35 million) is not outrageous for a OTCBB company.
13. Little long term debt (only $67,000)
14. Annual report showed little in the way of luxuries as is often the case in OTCBB companies
15. Lots of new investors and interest after Weston Report and stockreporter.de recommendations. (you gotta love those guys). Their exposure is growing everyday with a new and larger stockholder base.
16. After floating between .08 and .10 for a long time the stock has firmly established a base in the .40 range which will only hold until the next new bit of info (it could happen at any time) and new highs will again be reached.
There are many other reasons to be optimistic and to invest in this company. Feel free to add to the list.
IMHO this is still a great buy for the long term.
If you haven't done so in a while you should re-read the recent news, filings and recommendations below.

The report of Stockreporter includes the following information:
COMPANY OVERVIEW Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. (OTC BB: ADOT) is a technology company based in Albuquerque, N.M. Its primary focus is the development, production and sales of its novel and innovative electronic flat panel displays. The company maintains an R&D facility and manufacturing plant, and is engaged in building large-scale flat panel displays utilizing its patented technology. The Company was organized as a Nevada corporation on May 22, 1996. On November 7, 1996, the Company acquired the business and patents of PLZTech, a company involved in the development of flat panel displays. ADOT management has concentrated its efforts in developing its proprietary Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) flat panel display at the Company's facilities. This advanced technology has product application in "television quality" billboards, medical testing equipment, military displays, computer monitors and high definition video transmission. The SLM light valve works the same as a water valve controlling the water flow in a water pipe. Here the valve is controlled electronically; the valve will respond to an electrical input and will modulate the light passing through the valve. By reducing the valve size (.001 inch square) and placing them in a matrix, an SLM is formed. The major advantages of the SLM flat panel displays which are scheduled for delivery late this year are viewing quality, affordability, customer system integrity, and remote change in seconds to reduce advertising site maintenance. The primary initial product, which will be marketed to users of Outdoor Advertising Billboards, is a large-scale electronic flat panel display. The development of AOE's product represents the first time that such display technology is available for Outdoor Advertising Billboards. The Company's product has benefits over traditional billboards of providing dynamic, eye-catching ads and rapid change of image to provide for multiple advertisers during a 24-hour period. The ability to change images from a remote location will provide advertisers with immediate access to billboard markets. The AOE billboard display will provide an image 13' X 36' which is approximately the same size as existing billboards. The major advantages of the ADOT flat panel displays are better viewing quality, affordability, customer system integrity, and remote change in seconds to reduce advertising site maintenance. They are also inexpensive to produce relative to alternative systems. In addition, none of these technologies can be scaled (driven larger or smaller) as well as can the ADOTsolution. In addition to its core business, ADOT has established a strategic position in biomedical technology by acquiring 22% of BioModa Inc. Based in Albuquerque, N.M., BioModa Inc. is an emerging biomedical company specializing in break-through cancer diagnostics and therapy. BioModa's research team of prominent cyto-pathologists have developed a patented process of detecting the onset of lung cancer several years prior to the actual appearance of the invasive carcinoma. BioModa is also working on diagnostic imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy for other types of cancers. Recently, BioModa concluded an agreement with the People's Republic of China to provide a lung cancer diagnostic turnkey package to the city of Shanghai. Using its proprietary technology, ADOT can produce the scanning devices necessary to the cancer detection process. MARKETING STRATEGY After researching various markets including laptop computers, HDTV flat screen industries, and Outdoor Advertising/Billboards, management has decided to concentrate its full efforts and attention on marketing to the Electronic Outdoor Advertising/Billboardsindustry. Management believes that, due to the Highway Beautification Act, the number of billboards nationwide will not increase dramatically but should remain stable. Advertisers will place increased focus on securing and developing prime billboard locations. The customer base for billboards is diversifying as more advertisers are attracted to this media. Management's market penetration analysis is based on capturing existing sites in a stable market. It is anticipated that the company's product and marketing strategy will create a new segment of the outdoor advertising market while leveraging the underlying growth and excellent fundamentals of the existing market. Revenues will be derived from a combination of direct sales, owned and operated billboards, leasing, licensing, and partnerships. Experienced professionals in finance, marketing, and research are leading management. Initial customer contact will be through the company by directly communicating with potential customers. Management is developing a marketing department to follow through on each transaction and coordinate withmanufacturing. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES ADOT will compete against established forms of electronic display technology. Management believes that its planned products will be superior to these established products. To management's knowledge, no other company is currently working on like products. Nevertheless its products and technologies will be subject to substantial competition as the market and technologies evolve. CRT's and passive and active LCD's currently dominate the electronic display market. Primarily large multi-national companies manufacture them. However, these current industry leaders hit very difficult technical hurdles in extending the performance of their displays using current methods. The Company will compete with the existing Billboard display techniques of hand painted or printed and pasted signs. Recently, the trend has been toward creating the art digitally, but these images are still printed on large sheets and pasted up in the same manner as before World War I. These forms of billboard presentations will only be viable in low density/low traffic areas. Approximately 65% of billboards were booked on 12-month contracts last year. Long term contracts could potentially limit the access to desirable sites during the start-up period. However, the trend is to go to shorter-term contracts with significant turnover. According to the creativity, flexibility and lower costs achieved through technologies owned by Advanced Optics Electronics the company promises big competitive advantages and an enormous growth potential. In addition, the worldwide market for processes for the early detection of cancer and breakthrough therapies is huge. ADOT's strategic partner, BioModa already has a foothold for such activities in China, where more than 900,000 people die annually from lung cancer. BioModa is also currently engaged in testing projects with partners elsewhere in the world, with a significant presence in Asia. GROWTH INDUSTRY Over the past ten years, there has been considerable consolidation in Outdoor Advertising. The four leaders in the industry currently account for approximately 48% of the billboard market. Media companies have been buying billboard owners in order to offer packages of TV, radio and newly acquired outdoor space to advertisers.
- For 1999, advertisers are expected to spend about $4.8 billion on
out-of home media.
- The outdoor advertising industry currently enjoys a mere 2%
of the $190 billion advertising market and industry experts |
