20 Signs The U.S. Economy Is Heading For Big Trouble In The Months Ahead [View article]
I can't believe that laundry list included a readers digest bankruptcy and ignored tax hikes hitting in 2013 that are 3 times the size of the sequester.

The 14th amendment argument is completely absurd. The treasury would still be taking in enough income to pay interest on the debt. The only way we would default is if the executive chose to spend that money on things other than interest payments. Since that would be a discretionary move on the part of Obama he would in fact be the one "questioning" the debt. I can't believe anyone takes the argument seriously because there is a hole in it big enough to float an aircraft carrier through.
100% correct. The most valuable thing your money can buy is your own time. I'll take my time over the junk and credit card debt any day of the week. People overestimate the power of stuff to make them happy and underestimate how much better your life can be spending it doing things you genuinely enjoy rather than doing things that provide only a paycheck.

I doubt a 100 million dollar order would add 50 million to the bottom line. First as the company stated themselves an order that large would involve some margin concessions. It would absorb their NOL's and they would certainly be reporting tax expense against a deferred tax asset. Finally there is going to be SGA costs associated with that. You think the salesman who worked on that 100 million dollar deal isn't going to get some compensation for the win?
I think you are a bit too optimistic but I think we would both agree that the impact of that kind of order would be huge.

The company trades on the otc in the US rather than in AU. Historically they put out little information outside of the Q's and K's. Over the last 3 or 4 months they have gotten the message about shareholder communication and have put out more info including an early release of Q1 numbers along with things like the BHP contract announcement. As far as revenues the last 2 quarters revenues exceed all of the last fiscal year. The decrease you are seeing is likely fiscal 09 vs 08 when the company got slammed by the downturn.
MSN is likely not including more recent earnings numbers which given the BHP contract and capacity expansion are IMO much more relevant.

"I want Krugman critics to cite one incident where he was blatantly wrong. ONE!" ------ Thats easy when he said in 2002 the fed needs to create a housing bubble. He then showed a complete lack of character in trying to lie his way out of admitting that he called for the current debacle.

A couple of comments
First I attribute the drop in share price after last Q to disappointed speculators who jumped in after a blockbuster Q4 where everything from sales to margins clicked perfectly. The stock had a near 100% runup into that report so it wasn't a suprise to see it lose some. One thing to keep in mind is especially in terms of gross margin there can be some significant variations from quarter to quarter for AYSI.
As a previous poster noted since this article was written the company announced the expansion of their facility to include a second mill. This was news I had been expecting and it validates the growth thesis. I think this likely more than doubles their capacity. I think it will be awhile before 2 mills are running at full bore but assuming they get to that point there should be enormously higher earnings flowing to the bottom line.
As far as how I found out about the company its just a matter of bleary eyed reading of quarterly reports until something interesting pops up.
