Tony would remember what I used to have. Also this isn't a YFI board you can bring that discussion there. I got into YFI at 2.5 cents and 4 cents sold it all between 52 and 43.5 bought back in at 36 to 38 so yes I am saying really, YFI bought my house I am building it will have ups and downs but I am holding and put this away again. I expect to triple in yfi from the price now.
AAO and IMP are my picks to take off now but all my money in these stocks came from yfi.AAO I pexpect to jump like IMP won't be for a "long time".so I am putting the money where it will work the best right now.
That means the crown jewel IMP. It has jumped got in before but not enough and I bought on the day of news and I keep adding on the swings and dips. I expect imp to jump again and even from this point I see a 10 bagger plus.
Every stock I try to hold has potential to at least triple in 6 months except suncor straight bank play for the divy. If you don't have insider information you are going on hopes and dreams for any stock just some have more people sharing those hopes and dreams otherwise you are behind and chasing.
Now let's focus on the crown jewel and the reason why we are here IMP
Happy Canada day to you too
TruthLogic wrote: osirus1, I'll agree with IMP and AAO, both have products and solid, increasing revenues. The large contract for IMP is huge not only from that contract alone but the credibility factor which I feel is worth more than the contract but only time will tell. I don't factor that in until I see the actual sales.
Lot of small clients follow what the big clients are doing because they don't have the time, expertise and resources to do due dilligence like large clients. So they so follow the leaders and it works very well normally. This win is to a *large*, well known, client. IMP has some great tech that is wanted by a ton of different market segments. Being able to produce nice color maps based on real data is priceless for some market segments (resources, emergency planning, government, industry etc). Some of these clients are price insensitive, they'll pay whatever to get the data quickly. Think about a junior miner wanting to impress investors at a trade show. A large color poster of the mapped out resources by IMP is worth millions.
AAO is different, all about oil and maintenance. Oil is coming back up slowly but maintenance of pipelines has to be done regardless of where crude prices are.
But YFI? Really? Are you serious?? I would think you are kidding but it looks like you (and other comparing IMP to YFI) are serious??!! Why?
If you are a traders, you can read the charts rigtht? That YFI stock jumped to its recent highs in May and has been breaking down ever since. The pattern is a concern! And it's happended before from Feb 2012 at nearly 50cents to Sept 2012 at less than 10 cents lingering down to 2-3 cents in December 2014 If you got in at 50 cents and rode it down to 2 cents, that a 25x loss! Ouch. The risks is that the chart in 2012 will be identical in 2015.So please don't compare YFI with either AAO or IMP. There are no comparison based on technical analysis, and more importantly on fundamental analysis, sales, sales growth and institutional ownership growth (the real rocker fuel).
The big issue with YFI is the current SP is all based on promises it seems? Promises that it's old technology (really, is it not the *same* technology that was hyped up in 2012 (!), look at the chart and data, all there). Not spent a lot of time on YFI but it's clear that in 2012, there was a reverse merger to take some of the tech from Edgewater Computer Systems (still an operation but private owned by YFI CTO it seems?) and created a public traded company called Edgewater Wireless Systems (changing the old stock symbol to YFI). I look for sparks and understand what sparked YFI (the non-core patent one time deal) but I also understand why that rocket is failing: no fuel!
You need earnings to proper the rockets past the spark (and short term fuel), that brings in long term investors (especially the institutional buyers, which is real, long term fuel supply) YFI has an institutional ownershiup of 1% and I see them selling, AAO has an institutional ownership of 28% and I see that growing big time, and IMP has an institutional ownership of 47% and growing.
IMP is traded on the TSE vs the Ventures (for AAO) so it's in even better position to get a LOT of rocket fuel from institutions (many of whom avoid the Ventures because of the large scale manipulation which can be deadly for large holders when volumes dry up because they can't find buyer sor their large chunck of shares). That's the only reason the exchange regulators allow anonymous in the first place!
So is IMP safe? No, no stock is "safe". But it's a very safe *investment* at these prices with over half the shares owned by institutions.
I can pull up a lot of paying clients for both IMP and AAO (and that's increasing, which is what I look for. IMP had a bad few quarters, that's why it was trading so low before the recent spark). I can't pull up a SINGLE client using the tech promoted for YFI? They say the markets are stadiums and venues with density? Ok, those are big clients who love publicity, can you pull up even a single client who has bought, installed and is using the 2012-2015 products and tech? They released a bunch of new APs this year March 2015, not a single NR on any end-user enterprises clients yet? That's FOUR MONTHS!!! I don''t care about "partners" testing, or distributors having the stuff in stock (although that doesn't even appear to be the case!), I want to see end-user enterprises *buying* the stuff in volumes enough that it's a "deployment". And looking at the way these guys do NRs, they would have surely announced something if they had clients. Without clients, no revenues, without revenues, no long term investors, so no sustainable fuel.
Anyway, sorry for the long rant here but I hope that people will stop comparing IMP (and AAO in your case) to YFI! That's not going to help IMP (AAO) at all in the coming months.
Your post makes me very nervous about both AAO and IMP now.... It's like comparing two horses ready for a race with huge win potential with a "has been" older horse who competed before in 2012 and failed miserably and it now losing its race that started in March already?
That horse is tired, real tired.... If you promise not to bring up YFI here again, I promise not to as well!
So go IMP go! At 47% institutional holding, this is not a penny stock but it certainly trades at penny stock prices .... currently... until others follow the (institution) leaders.
Happy Canada Day!
