Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have been following AAOI through a rather wild journey in past couple of months from the 60s to the 90s, then a plunge back to the 60s and, very recently, from 58 last Friday to 66 (~14% inc) on Monday and to 70 (another 6%) to-day, both days on very large volumes. I have looked for explanatory information both on the co. website and the RBC-DI site to no avail. Another startling feature of AAOI is that the shorts are 57% of the float and have been so for the past couple of months.
My questions are: what are the rules surrounding the obligations of a co. to make a statement on such dramatic moves? and do you have any information?

Thanks as always, Bob.

Q: Hi,
I have owned OTEX in the past. I recently bought it again around $44 after last earnings report which was good. Since then the stock has been sliding for no apparent reason. Momentum is negative. It recently bought Guidance Software. I thought it may recover but still hovering in low $39s range. I do not like to average down, but if I was looking at it as a fresh investment, it would give me pause to consider. Your thoughts please.

Q: My previous question asked your advice on an offer received for my NXPI shares. I tendered them shortly afterward.
Since then there have been more extensions and I'm concerned about the lack of closure.Because I am unfamiliar with the process I would appreciate your opinion on the options. A recommendation on the course to follow would be welcome.

Q: Hi Guys, Sometimes, I am just stunned by the innovative time we live in and the rapid pace of unique and new technologies.....SolarWindow would be the perfect example of this.

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc. is engaged in the development of transparent electricity-generating coatings for glass and flexible plastic. The Company is developing two sustainable electricity generating systems: SolarWindow and MotionPower. The Company's SolarWindow technology provides the ability to harvest light energy from the sun and artificial sources and generate electricity from a transparent, coating of organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells applied to glass and plastics. The Company's MotionPower technology harvests kinetic or motion energy from vehicles when they slow down before coming to a stop and converts this captured energy into electricity.

AMAZING.........they harvest energy from a coating on windows from sun and/or from motion. They can reduce the power needed for a 50 story building by 40%.

The stock trades on the NY/OTC and closed today at $5.09 up 8%. Do we have anybody in this space in Canada? The stock seems to be spiking right now but if it cools down a bit any thoughts on the stock for investment?
Thanks Team. Chris
