Hi Andy, welcome to the Amigo thread. Are you still holding CADE and if so, any thoughts you care to share with us about CADE? I am happy to hear that you feel the same way about AIRM as we do. I have my notes on AMVC from last year and will post them at the bottom of this post. I see that the last earnings reports was excellent and that there is insider buying as well as institutional buying coming in. The AMVC thead mentions Allen and Co. being buyers and that is definalty bullish. The co. is being featured in the upcoming Red Chip conference and I see that they are buying bach the warrants and the preferreds. Everything looks good Andy. Nice to hear from you.
