RE:THIS IS HILARIOUS WATCHING THIS THING DOWNTREND ....Thanks hr2, glad to see your sense of humour is alive and well. As you probably guessed, I'm not a pumper nor a basher. I'm an observer that has learned a fair bit watching ASTI. Nothing surprises me regarding this ticker. Pretty much ready for any and all news. The obscurity of what Mr. Lee is doing or has recently done behind the scenes is remarkable. The news of when he said share holders were going to made more aware of company developments, has not carried the weight in keeping with investors becoming more "in the know", we were hoping for. I have no regrets with ASTI. Investing should be more of an educational endeavor than an emotional roller coaster. Admittedly, easier said than done. So I'm ready for Mr. Lee to pull either more dead (debt) rats or a big fat rabbit (large contracts or buyout) from the mysterious ASTI hat any time he chooses with my note pad ready. :)
