Research123,

You are right, without a catalyst, ATHX is toast, but we think Ormibed Advisors is precisely that catalyst. ATHX has no long-term liabilities, and has a tremendous cash excess, so it is very unlikely that the company will go into C11. C11 is meant for companies to restructure in a way they can meet their long-term commitments, but notice ATHX has 0 liabilities. Chances are that because the value of the company's cash is greater than its market cap, ATHX will end up in liquidation/dissolution before going into C11, in which case liquidating value is NOT zero. Its value will be at least the the cash available minus any long term liabilities (zero). In the case of ATHX, this value is nearly 100% higher than the company's market cap at the moment.

longtermstocks,

optt might have a great idea, but the product is far from efficient. If the company can come up with ways to generate more energy from lighter buoys resistant to corrosion then we would be glad to take another look at it.

zhybrids,

Some say the market is efficient. But if it is, then you wouldn't be asking your question. I'm not sure I know the answer, but I bet it has to do with market fears and an over-reliance on future earnings. Most of these companies have poor earnings expectations, but they are trading as if the balance sheet does not exist.

Regarding other opportunities to purchase a dollar for fifty cents see our #1 pick.

Elliot,

As I mentioned above, though the company seems cheap on the books, we are not interested in ANY of the financial statements reported by the company because it has often found itself in accounting irregularities, and we just cannot tell truth from lie. However, Stephen W. Bershad, the CEO of Axsys Technologies, has been in the business for decades and has met with GSIG CEO multiple times. After meeting with GSIG CEO several times and having inside access to the company's books he then decided to purchase 3 million shares with his own money. If you think you have better information than Stephen W. Bershad please let us know and we will make the corection, but I highly doubt you do.

notsosmart,

In that case I disagree with your username. Maybe change to yessosmart?

Fsquare, so my only holding is GE at the moment.

Great question FSquare, and I certainly understand where you are coming from. It is plain and simple: tuition costs are high these days and I simply do not have enough resources for both my tuition and to take advantage of these great opportunities. Though these are great net cash opportunities, I found there was more value in GE at $7/share, as I disclosed in my previous article.
