Price seems fairly stable now. Interesting that
it only takes 12,000 share sells to balance 80,000 share
buys in last half hour or so. Somebody's holding it back,
and it ain't me. Looks like some covering going on.

< If a stock you bought at $1.00 goes from 5 to 6 a year from now, you just made a 100% profit on your original investment.>

Could you run your arithmetic by me one more time. As you have pointed out when it comes to interpreting numbers I must be slow.

My teachers must have lead me far astray when they taught me that when a value goes from $1 to $2 it increases 100% from $1 to $3 a 200% increase from $1 to $4 a 300% increase from $1 to $5 a 400% increase and from $1 to $6 a 500% increase. Are you sure you did not mean to say that if the stock goes from $5 to $6 you now have made an additional 100% profit on your original $1 investment.

For the first time ALYA has announced a significant domestic distributor. Hopefully they both will be able to get enough exposure in the LONworks security arena before some subtantial competitor decides that once there is in place a generally accepted industry standard it's time to come in and steal the prize.

Well stated.. ALYA is not a pump & dump. Hopefully, sooner rather than later the shorters will understand that it was investors who have bought this stock.

Why is everyone on this thread so sure that ALYA is being heavily shorted?

If the company had such a bright future, wouldn't the MMs be more likely to pick a BB stock to short with lower revenues and a less promising future?

> All short sales. naked or covered, must be closed at some point with a buy. <


That is true unless the company goes bankrupt, in which case the short seller not only doesn't have to buy back real shares, he does not have to pay taxes on his gains (in the USA).


Disclosure: still long in ALYA.
