Vartan, thanks for the suggestion. AIT Advanced is near the 52 week low of 6.25 cdn. It was soaring on its technology, which sounded excellent. I thought they did only passport readers, but I just checked, and they seem (as you say) to compete head on with Mytec. Their br 100 hand scanner might be competitive in the 'welfare id' business, and not have the stigma of any 'fingerprint' criminalization.
I emailed ms roberts at AIT, asking if they were bidding on the Toronto system. If they are, and if they win, it would really boost their stock. The financials look awful for AIT, so this is obviously a good time to buy! The price chart is flattening out, volume is low.
Turnaround needs good news. Some really good news would be settlement of American budget fights, so that the US could buy lots of AIT border control devices.
thanks for the tie-in, fred bealle |
