We will see within the next week if 400 shares will go below 3. I think that's too fast, but adjustments are brutal sometimes. There could be a sentiment inflection among original board members, and then it's game over.
it could just as likely go the other way. things can change fast in this game, for better or worse. I agree with Canth. Sure, there are some sell-offs happening, but there is also a lot of buying going on, and in the scheme of things, we're talking about a small minority of shareholders that are moving right now.

Indeed we will. I'm not going to try and predict where the price will be in the short term - I'm just comfortable holding onto my position for quite some time. I get the reasons to be bearish for AM or mining hardware companies in general, but investing in a proven business leader like Friedcat is within my comfort zone.

The bears react instantly and the bulls are delayed. So you get a cliff in the share price because resistance is anemic.
yeah, but then you get a fast recovery when those bull coins get in. The delay has to do with confirmation times, too. The market has shown us twice this morning that AM at 3 is undervalued. Yeah you said that 4-5 times already, WE GOT IT by now. But I know you are long on AM so you are trying to pump it up. The true value will be shown by market and its not undervalued by any means at 3, unless you are blind and dont see what is happening in mining BTC world you should see it too. One smart guy here.

opinions are like assholes, we all got one and they all stink.
Im still under the assumption that friedcat will deliver for his investors, he has always done this and now that he is running a much larger operation im sure is much busier than what he once was, many can panic sell on no news, it happened for labcoin and all they had to do was come out and just post an update for it to rally up by almost 50%,
Not saying AsicMiner is going to have the same blow up but all it takes is a bit of good news, some will want to capitalize off the small opportunity but it only really works if you dont have a large number of shares, im still holding long because FC has always delivered and dont see that changing anytime soon considering this is his livelihood

Back into AM shares. FCs proven management and AMs market position are a good bet at these levels.

I don't care about low divs. I don't care about falling share price. What I only care about is WHERE IS FRIEDCAT'S UPDATE?! Yifu was above reproach once. Now you're just spreading FUD.

I've seen this before - I was a victim, in fact. I said, "Yifu was a straight-shooter with the FPGAs and Batch 1. His batch 2 is a little delayed but I know he'll deliver", and I bought his damn chips. Fool me twice shame on me.

His batch 2 is a little delayed but I know he'll deliver", and I bought his damn chips. Yifu's commitment to customers is much different than Friedcat's commitment to his shareholders. Customers have a right to know why their products are not shipping and what has caused the delays. Friedcat does not accept pre-orders, so he has no commitment to keep customers up to date on the manufacturing. The one time he accepted pre-orders and missed the projected delivery date, he offered refunds and made things right. With respect to his commitment to shareholders, it is his management style to release limited info so as to keep competitors (as well as shareholders) in the dark. That is totally fine and its management's prerogative. If you do not like the limited communication, then do not purchase shares--it's that simple. Friedcat's commitment is to maximize value for shareholders, not to keep the speculators and short sellers informed of his activities.

He didn't sell pre-orders, a reseller did, and FC helped to make it right. But, it was not FC pre-selling.

So, because of another company and their handling of product, you're saying FC is somehow scamming us?

Well, my faith is based on his actions. I'm saying your criticism is irrational. "someone else is an ass, so everyone is an ass"

It is a hashrate estimate... it is possible we are just getting lucky finding blocks / were unlucky before. Target has always been 10% of the network, although historically we were much higher. Why were we higher? Because Friedcat knew he needed to get ahead when he could, so when he fell he fell back to the Target, and not far below it.

Don't forget that the initial deployments were put into production assuming there would already be competing products on the market, which meant ASICMINER heavily over-shot the target percentage of the network. ASICMINER was planned to come out *after* BFL and Avalon deployment, and ended up beating both to the punch (the only other ASICs that existed at the time were the units given to jgarzik and Bitcoin Foundation).
