Back to speculation mode: I have been wondering why exactly AXC took this time to exercise the option on AENTV, and along with that, what exactly AENTV has been up to for the last several months. There are two possible reasons why AXC would exercise the option. One is that AENTV has met growth and revenue targets, and has proven itself. TVoW has met those standards, but it is not apparent that AENTV has. The other is that AENTV needs the money now, and is up to something that AXC believes merits additional investment. Since it is not apparent that AENTV has met any revenue targets, I opt for choice number 2. So what then could AENTV be up to? What have they been up to behind the scenes for all these months? Is it possible that the poster who suggested that it would be an interactive game show is correct? Or is it an online auction of some kind? I for one hope it is the game show, and hope that the auction is just an idea for throwing copycats off track. If AENTV is up to something exciting, and I hope they are, we should start seeing the impact in the trading volume and price before the announcement. While I don't see any volume to indicate something exciting coming soon, at least the stock has held up better than the "nuts" lately: techstocks.com I'd guess that AENTV is working on something, but that it isn't close to release yet.
