Allen: Catalyst post link: Message 10994203 If this one fails, click on my name and down looking at posts in due dilligence board with the word catalyst in it. SPAB This is so far out of my frame of reference, I wouldn't want to comment on what might change perceptions on it's value except to say if I had to make a call on it I'd watch insider activity - currently there appears to be minor selling...I'd want to see serious buying by CEO CFO and operating management. AVL "exploring means of enhancing shareholder value" is buz phrase for we're gonna try to sell this turkey....or parts thereof. Once the PR is out, the stock often takes a jump if a willing buyer is likely since control buyer will pay more than market. Hard to profit from this since once the news is out, it's out. Chart looks like optimism for finding an eager buyer drove stock higher into July, then despair set in [But I haven't studied the stock at all so couldn't say what else might have occurred] The profile indicated this was a distributor. With just about any distributor, there's concern about net intermediated market/exchange blowing the profitability. Don't know if that applies here, but something to look at. be well, bob
