- Vigilance bureau misleading court, says former director
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: DGP and former vigilance director N Shanker Reddy has said that the vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (VACB) misled the vigilance court by stating that it was him who had directed the winding up of the bar bribery case. He said that every instruction by him to the investigating officer was on record.They were for verifying the discrepancies he had pointed out in the factual report prepared by Sukesan. He said at no point of time had he instructed the investigating officer to refer (or close) the case. "Periodic directions were given in writing for further verification of points mentioned in his factual reports. Despite that, the vigilance department blatantly misled the court that I instructed Sukesan to refer the case," he said. The vigilance special judge A Badaruddin had on Friday asked to conduct a probe against Reddy on the basis of a report filed from the vigilance directorate that Reddy had asked Sukesan to refer the case, and being his subordinate, Sukesan had to oblige. "Even the report submitted in the court was from the directorate without referring the director anywhere which is against the usual practice," he said. The letter, a copy of which is with TOI, had no mention of the director anywhere, and it was also not submitted on behalf of the director as it was signed by an administrative assistant in the directorate.The court had, in its judgement, recalled the letter from the vigilance directorate and said that the letter was "selfspeaking" on the involvement of the two former directors. When Reddy took over charge of vigilance director in December 2015 after the retirement of his predecessor Vinson M Paul, he had asked Sukesan on December 23, 2015 to verify the incongruities in his factual report. As per the re cords accessed by TOI, Sukesan, in his reply on January 1, 2016, had recommended that sanction should be accorded to submit a final report before the court as "further action dropped" in the case. On another clarification about the polygraph test on Ambili, the driver of hotelier Biju Ramesh, who is allegedly the only witness in the alleged payment of bribe to former finance minister K M Mani, Sukesan replied on January 8 that evidence is not enough to recommend prosecution."The version of Vijayakumar (Ambili) is not corroborated fully either by Rajkumar or Sreevalsan. Besides there are some contradictions in the statement of Vijayakumar also," he said in his report, adding that it is not enough to recommend prosecution. Moreover, as per the section 72 (1) of the vigilance manual, the vigilance director can take a final call on factual report on whether to prosecute an accused or not, which was endorsed by the high court as well in a judgement in the bar bribery case itself. Moreover, the director is supposed to make timely intervention in the case, till the investigation is over, as per the court.

- Enforcement Directorate to probe forest bribery and corruption case
KOLKATA: A day after they were arrested by the anti-corruption branch officials, Enforcement Directorate will start a probe against Alankar Jha and Subhasis Chakraborty-the duo arrested on Saturday in a bribery case. Jha, the additional principal conservator of forests was caught red-handed while he was offering bribe to Chakraborty-a DSP rank official of the ACB. They were remanded to police custody till September 29 by a magistrate court. The anti-corruption branch, which was already pursuing a money-laundering case against Jha, had information that he has negotiated a deal with Chakraborty-the investigating officer in the case. They also had inputs that Chakraborty was leaking investigation plans to Jha. Based on specific information a team of ACB officials laid a trap on Saturday evening at a restaurant on BT Road. As was fixed earlier, Jha appeared at the restaurant along with a woman at 6 pm. They had already reserved the table number 10 at the restaurant. While the duo sat face to face, they waited for Chakraborty to arrive. A few minutes after Chakraborty arrived at the spot and sat beside Jha. While the conversation was on Jha pulled out a paper bag and placed it on the table. This alerted the ACB team and they approached the duo. Apart from cash of Rs 2.48 lakh, some 'documents' were also recovered from him. Present at the court public prosecutor Tamal Mukherjee argued, "The officer who was supposed to prevent a crime got involved into it. It was found that he had earlier passed on information to others too." Appearing for the accused Debashis Mullick Chowdhury alleged that there is conflict in the FIR filed by the police. "They were already probing a case of misappropriation of money against Jha. He was arrested in connection to that case and there was no reason to file a separate FIR against him," he said.

- Directorate elementary education issues order for prevention of vector borne diseases
Gurgaon: Seeing the rise of vector borne diseases in the state, the directorate of elementary education, Haryana has released circular ordering the private and the public schools to take a slew of measures to increase the awareness about the disease and the precautions. The lack of execution of the measures as per the circular will attract disciplinary action for the responsible teacher or the person in charges. The implementation will be ensured by inspections by the district education officer. "We have received a circular which has asked for the implementation in all the private and public schools. The circular has been forwarded to all the schools," informed Ram Kumar Phalaswal, District elementary education officer. Phalaswal added that the vector borne disease have highly impacted the attendance in the schools, hence preventive measures are anything but necessary. The order also mentions appointment of field executive who would go for inspections and ensure that the schools are following the advisory. Among other important points the order mentions taking out anti dengue and anti-malaria procession to create awareness in the society. The order also talks of seminars, symposiums and debate and painting competition on the vector borne diseases. Given that many residents are not very co-operative during the fogging drives, the order also asks the school teachers to ask the children to motivate their parents to assist during the indoor residual sprays and fogging programs to ensure 100% coverage of their villages or areas. "As per the information from the circular, the students will be asked to survey the neighbourhood for any water leakages and stored water," informed the officials. Though the city schools both private and government are already taking measures to check the spreading of vector borne diseases, the order however focuses on intensification of preventive and control measures against the vector borne diseases. "We are already doing fogging in the school campus in the afterhours and talking to students about the preventive and control measures. However if there is an order implementing further measures that could help contain the spreading of the diseases, we would comply," said Atul Bhatt, principal, Shalom Hills International, Gurgaon.

Historical Traveler Reviews Falcon Plaza Hotel Amsterdam
Never again
Spent only one night.. and will never again.. no heating.. aww.. yes heating but not in my room.. offered mooore blankets.. dirty.. not cheap..
Hated it
i booked the falcon plaza over the net,i wouldnot stay here again 2 people sharing a room the rooms were to small and dirty,no light in the shower room it was miles from the centre of amsterdam and not in walking distance and the hotel next door looked more inviting.
Good all round hotel
Just got back with 4 friends following our trip away. Quite anxious about this hotel after reading other reviews on this site, however i couldn't fault the hotel in any way. Not as luxurious as our 3 star hotels at home, but considering the cost i think we got what we paid for. The quad room (rm 406) consisting of 4 proper beds with clean linen, laminate flooring, a powerful shower (worth having the room just for this) and clean bathroom. The staff we met were polite and the receptionist was English. Breakfast was continental and loads of it. Filled up before our day out. Considering we only needed to use the room for sleeping, it was more than adiquate. If we should visit Amsterdam in the future i would not hesitate in using this hotel again.
This should be classed as one star hotel
On arriving at the hotel was dismayed to find it quite a dingy dull hotel and on the website it was stated as a modern and well decorated. The rooms were small and dingy expensive for what they were, you would get at least a 4 star hotel in england for the price we paid for this, in fact the week before in scotland stayed at a macdonald hotel and the price was 90 pounds for 3 nights bed and full scottish breakfast and one evening meal in lovely surrounding with swimming pool gym etc. In the room tea and coffee making facities iron trouser press lovely bright rooms with a lovely bar downstairs everything the Falcon Plazer wasnt, for a lot cheaper. Falcon Plazer advertised a bar but there was no bar the only bar was next door at the Ibis which was a nice bar with nice pleasant happy staff unlike the staff out at Falcon Plazer. 3 shared a room at a cost of 60 euros per person per night i think a bit expensive for what we got. Loved Amsterdam had a ball would go again but not to this hotel
Whoever posted the good reviews must be staff. This hotel should not be allowed to class itself as 3 star. The rooms are small and claustrophobic with no drinking water or teamaking facilities. The bathroom was pokey and smelled of wee wee, its hard to sleep with the aroma of urine constantly up your nostrils. Stayed in many Amsterdam hotels and this has to be the worst by far. To top it all I came in after a great night out on the town at 2 am and I was then asked to settle the bill! I said I would do it in the morning and the chappy on reception became quite insistant, we just ignored him and went to bed. Even worse, a friend who was also staying was getting phone calls from reception at 5 am for the key as it was a fire hazard to keep it in the room, Bizzare! The breakfast was very basic and its presentation did not beg an appetite. I am sure it advertised its own bar, not true the bar belongs to the Ibis which did indeed looked so much nicer. This was a busy weekend for Amsterdam as it was holding a big conference so every hotel was booked up. There was no way we could have got a room anywhere else without the help of the police. Other than that had a great time in such a fantastic city.
Disgusting hotel!
Disgusting, whole room very dirty & unhygenic, bed and bedspread filthy and bathroom too, cannot think of anything nice to say about this hotel, especially as it is next door to an IBIS hotel, that looked so much nicer!
Do not stay here!
Plenty of tv channels
Stayed here for 3 nights. Was clean except under the bed which was a bit scummy but nothing too upsetting! good bathroom and shower, with lots of towels which were replaced every day. also a tv which had 30 channels of all languages, just in case you can't keep yourself entertained in amsterdam, which i doubt you'd have a problem with. weird decor in the reception/lobby. breakfast was average continental type but plenty of it.
A good qualitywell priced hotel
I have just comeback from a very pleasant stay in Amsterdam - I booked 3 rooms in this hotel online and the price seemd very fair and i was very pleased of the high standards of the hotel and all rooms clean, tidy, good service ,friendly and in a good location of all sights. i will be booking again soon
Roach Motel
I have stayed in many European hotels. Some good and some not so good. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms were dingy and dirty. The carpets left our socks BLACK!!The walls had mold & mildew on them. They gave two adults - one bath towel and one face towel. When we asked for another set - it never came.
We quickly checked out and asked for a refund. The front desk processed our credit but needless to say - it has yet to be processed. I strogly advised whomever rates these hotels to rate this as a NO STAR!!!
Couldn't stay a night!
Never stay at this hotel - its tatty, should be condemned, and the staff were extremely rude.Put simply I would not have let my dog stay in the room I was put in, it hasn't been touched since the 60's and it shows, even the linen had holes in it...When I complained and said I was leaving the staff member on the reception desk told me he didn't have time to deal with me as he was eating his dinner, and turned his back on me to do exactly that!We moved next door to the Ibis straight away...

The deadline for applications for 2016-17 admission may be found at the Deadlines page. Our department matriculates Ph.D. students in the summer only. Students begin in late July/early August with a mandatory math review course, commonly called Math Camp.
The usual profile of a matriculant who receives financial aid from Duke for study in the first year would be: (1) an undergraduate record strong in economics, mathematics, or physical science; (2) a perfect or near-perfect score on the quantitative section of the GRE; (3) mathematical skills, including multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, real analysis, and introductory statistics and probability; (4) a GPA of 3.5 or better; (5) letters from individuals which confirm the intellectual strength of the candidate. Prospective students not presenting qualifying credentials are discouraged from applying for the Ph.D. program. For more information please refer to the Graduate School's Degree Programs page.
The application fee is $85. The Department of Economics does not waive application fees.
Please visit the Funding page for more information on financial aid, funding and an overview of expenses for Ph.D. students, including tuition, fees and cost of living. In order to be considered for any and all financial aid and funding for graduate school, simply indicate "Yes" on the electronic application in the section where financial aid is discussed. No additional paperwork is required.
In order to meet the January application deadline, GRE tests should not be taken later than the preceding November test date. GRE scores older than five years at the time of application will not be accepted as official. Duke University accepts both the old GRE with the Analytical section graded on the 800 point scale and the newer Writing Analytical section graded on the 6.0 point scale. Only the GRE general test is required, not the subject test. The Ph.D. program does not accept, nor will it review, the GRE subject test or the GMAT in lieu of the GRE general test for admissions purposes. Please request an official score report to be sent directly to the Graduate School, institution code 5156. No department code is necessary.
The Department of Economics does not eliminate any applicant solely on the basis of GRE. However, over 90% of all applicants to the Ph.D. program earn the highest score on the Quantitative section. Scores that are significantly lower (see the Graduate School's Admissions Statistics page) and are supported by less-than-impressive grades in mathematics and economics-related courses may result in rejection on the basis that the applicant is not competitive with the rest of the applicant pool.
The Duke University Graduate School requires that any applicant whose native language is not English submit scores from either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the academic modules of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The Ph.D. program recommends that all international applicants take the TOEFL/IELTS regardless of whether or not they have attended another U.S. institution or participated in an ESL program. The TSE is not accepted. The Graduate School will accept only official TOEFL/IELTS scores (those which are submitted by ETS). ETS will not submit any scores more than two years old at the time of application. It is the policy of the Graduate School to admit only those students with a minimum TOEFL score of 90 or a minimum IELTS score of 7.0. Please request an official score report to be sent directly to the Graduate School, institution code 5156. For more information on the TOEFL or the IELTS, please see Admission Requirements.
NOTE: All international students whose first language is not English are required to take oral and written English placement exams administered by the English for International Students (EIS) program. These exams are independent of the TOEFL/IELTS score submission requirement. Depending on their exam results, students are either exempted from or placed into one or more EIS courses. Students with EIS requirements must begin these courses in their first year of study. For more details, visit the Requirements page.
Applicants should upload unofficial copies of transcripts. Official, paper copies of transcripts will be requested if the applicant is offered admission. Applicants should provide official copies of GRE and TOEFL scores. If transcripts are in a language other than English, they must be accompanied by an official, certified translation, which most universities and/or embassies provide. For statistics on GRE scores and GPAs for admitted students, see the Graduate School's Statistics page.
Each year more than 700 people apply to the Ph.D. program in economics. Of those applicants, approximately 50 are offered admission, with approximately 90 percent of them receiving an offer of six years of financial aid. The aid typically covers tuition and fee waivers and a combination of fellowships and teaching, graduate, and research assistantships which adequately cover the costs of living for the student, including rent, utilities, food, etc. We do not discriminate against any applicant based on country of origin or previous educational experience in deciding which students receive financial aid. Of the students offered admission to the Ph.D. program, about 35 percent decide to come to Duke, and we matriculate an average of 20 students each year. Approximately 70 percent of the students in our program are from outside of the United States. We pride ourselves on our broad spectrum of academic talent from all over the world.
Duke Economics does not pre-screen potential applicants. We are unable to evaluate a student's "chances" for admission to our program simply from looking at their self-reported scores and academic history. We judge each applicant's potential against the strength of the entire applicant pool, which varies from year to year. We do not measure students against a set of minimum criteria in order to decide upon admission, but instead gauge them against the overall caliber of all applicants.
Students who are viewed as the most competitive for the Ph.D. program will typically demonstrate a solid academic or professional history with mathematics, including multi-variable calculus, linear algebra and real analysis, as they are the cornerstones of the program, which is quite math intensive. While prior experience in the field of economics is preferred, many successful applicants to the Ph.D. program have come from a variety of backgrounds, including public policy, political science, math, computer science, business, accounting, and engineering.
When the candidate's admissions file is complete, the Graduate School sends the file to the Department of Economics. It is reviewed by a committee chaired by the Director of Graduate Admissions. Aid offers are made on a rolling basis, as funds permit, beginning in late February. Of the approximately 20 new Ph.D. students each year, 90 percent or more are supported by Duke, and the remainder are either supported by external funding sources or are self-supported. The department attempts to develop partial aid programs for such self-supported students through hourly payment for grading papers or tutoring. Loans and work-study funds, in limited amounts, are available also. Students who are projected to be successful Ph.D. candidates are generally offered aid in the form of scholarships, teaching assistantships, or research assistantships for the second year and beyond.
Please see the Graduate School website for more information on graduate education at Duke University.

I Can't Stop Watching This Bike Crash Break The Laws Of Physics
Crashes suck. But this is one of the few times where a bike-on-car collision turns into art. It's like Cirque du Soleil performed in the Matrix and splashed with a side of Jackass. I've watched it a dozen times and can't stop.

Ski day
Like each year our students had the chance to experience a skiing activity. This August 2, at El Colorado ski center, our young ones participated in private lessons with specialized instructors. After a repairing lunch, everybody continued having fun in a day full of learning at the mountain.
Buin Zoo field trip. Wednesday August 10th
With the objective of raising awareness for biodiversity conservation, especially of species and ecosystems. Our Second and Third grade students visited the Buin Zoo park.
Congratulations to our students for their good disposition and enthusiasm.
12th grade breakfast
At the end of the first semester the 12 th grade class met with the Senior Management Team, their homeroom teacher and some other teachers for a breakfast.
In this opportunity, the students had the chance to chat, laugh and talk about their last months in school, their plans for the future, PSU, and many other things. It was a great time to listen to others, exchange points of view, pick up ideas and in general, to understand more about what is happening to our dear Class of 2016. We look forward for a second breakfast this time before they leave our school for good.
Healthy Kiosk
As of Monday June 28th, the new law for foods sold in schools began to take effect. Our school and our lunch provider had long begun to work towards implementing all requirements. Today, lunches and snacks are all according to standards and are looked after as to comply with the law but more than that provide healthy food for the benefit of our students and their well - being.
Parents can be of great help when it comes to sending snacks and lunches to school. We strongly advice you to avoid sending food such as chips, sweets, soft drinks, and in general, high sugar, high fat, high calorie and high sodium foods to school. On the other hand, we strongly suggest you change those foods for fruits, small sandwiches, water or non-sugary juices, non - fat dairy products, nuts, eggs, etc. Together we can make a difference in our children's lives.

As a member of the student body the chosen was Fabrizzio Margas Cavieres from the Senior Class 2016. Fabrizzio is recognized as an exemplary student, which we would like to highlight among others.

Faulty thinking: The pitifully thin experience themselves as overweight
There is a common misperception, found among both professionals and laypersons, that anorexia nervosa is a lifestyle choice, typically of young middle-class females who are so obsessed with their weight and shape that they practise extreme dieting and self-induced vomiting. Although most common in females aged 15-35 living in westernised societies, anorexia nervosa is occurring increasingly often in developing countries; it can also affect males and those in younger and older age groups. And far from being a lifestyle choice it is in fact an extremely complicated and life-threatening illness with a poor prognosis. Roughly 66 per cent of patients appear to make a full and sustained recovery after five years but the lifetime mortality directly attributable to the illness is in the order of 10 per cent.
The disorder is riddled with misperceptions, mystery and paradox. The literal meaning of anorexia nervosa is "nervous loss of appetite", but that is a misnomer. In reality it is a biologically-based illness in which the sufferer usually has a ravenous appetite, as well as a myriad of other features that cannot be explained by starvation alone. This is the mystery of anorexia nervosa.
Misperception is not confined to the unaffected; it occurs within the individual patient too. Patients with anorexia nervosa experience themselves as fat, even when they are very thin, a phenomenon known as body-image distortion. This is not a fabrication on their part, but a genuine misperception, which has been clearly demonstrated in numerous empirical studies-using mirrors, cut-out paper silhouettes and morphable computer images. A recent study has shown that when walking towards a narrow door, through which it is possible to walk directly, people with anorexia nervosa tend to turn their bodies sideways to go through the door, compared with healthy controls who have no such need, even though they are far less thin.
Body-image distortion is only one of many complex and mysterious features of this illness. Other features of anorexia nervosa include: severe anxiety, an intense preoccupation with weight and shape, dread of weight gain, mood disturbance, self-loathing, obsessive-compulsive behaviour and a raised pain threshold. In addition, thought processes are often impaired. Sufferers may display a disconnection between thoughts and feelings, rigidity of thinking, difficulty inhibiting intrusive thoughts and weak central coherence. The latter refers to the fact that attention to fine detail is so pronounced in patients with anorexia nervosa that they lose sight of the big picture: they cannot see the wood for the trees. Numerous psychological tests demonstrate this. For example, when people with anorexia nervosa look at a complex diagram which contains a basic shape, such as a rectangle, in its centre, they cannot see the rectangle and focus only on the complexities of the diagram.

Position Auctions with Budget-Constraints: Implications for Advertisers and Publishers

Anthony J. Dukes
University of Southern California - Marshall School of Business
June 21, 2015
Marketing Science, Forthcoming
This paper examines position auctions with budget-constrained advertisers, a dominant bidding environment used by publishers to allocate positions in online advertising. Budget constraints play a crucial role in equilibrium bidding by inducing advertisers to strategically deplete a higher-ranked advertiser's budget to gain in rank. This strategic consideration has consequences for both advertisers' profits and the publisher's revenue. An advertiser's profit can strictly decrease with her budget when competition for an advertising space (e.g., a keyword) is intense. The publisher's revenue can also strictly decrease when an increase in the higher-ranked advertiser's budget induces the lower-ranked rival to reduce her bid, due to her inability to deplete the higher-ranked advertiser's budget. Several managerial implications for both advertisers and publishers are discussed.

Weezer puts 'Lost's' Hurley on cover, debuts new track 'Memories'
Just because "Lost" is finished doesn't mean you've seen the last of lovable Hurley.
Expect to see the face of Jorge Garcia everywhere this fall, as Weezer has chosen his image to be the cover of its forthcoming album "Hurley."
In an interview with Spinner, Rivers Cuomo said that they arrived at the title "Hurley" because of the photo, which was part of a larger picture of Garcia posing with the Weez frontman.
"We struggled super hard trying to come up with an album title, trying to find some kind of phrase that summed up the whole aesthetic behind the album: 'Heavy Mental,' 'Smaller Than Life,'" Cuomo said. "I was coming up with all kinds of stuff, but ultimately, we just went with some random word that doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just loved this photo of Jorge Garcia -- it just had this amazing vibe. We didn't want to do a fourth self-titled record and we knew people would refer to it as 'the Hurley record' even if left it without that title, so we just called it 'Hurley.' No words are on the cover because all we wanted was his amazing face."
As previously reported, "Hurley" is the first album Weezer's releasing under a new record deal with Epitaph. The set is due Sept. 14. There will be no "Lost"-themed songs on the set, though Cuomo's made it through season two of the hit TV series and likes it.
Meanwhile, a new Weezer song "Memories" has hit the web. It's loud and rocks hard, and, naturally, a little nostalgic.

While optimistic for the long term I don't see how they can have a really strong Q3 since 40G is tailing off now and most of last year Q3 was 40G sales. They stated clearly they don't expect the big 100G ramp until the new chipsets are available in quantity and they did not expect that until later this year. Without a significant 100G contribution they would seem to almost be guaranteed a flat to negative revenue quarter for Q3. If they guide Q3 flat or negative in the August call it is virtually guaranteed this stock will be in the $8's again. I don't doubt the longer term picture, just think it will be very hard to see big revenue growth in Q3. I'm sure the director knows the stock is worth a lot more than the $10 he paid for it but the market won't care how many insiders buy if they guide Q3 down. Just my opinion but I am being cautious here in the transition period from 40G to 100G.
Sentiment: Buy
I'm thinking even Q3 could be weak because of the delays in the Tomahawk chipsets that supposedly won't be out until then. The lack of those chipsets in quantity is the logjam for 100G to really start breaking out. I'm keeping dry powder for weak Q3 guidance - I will not be surprised to see the stock in the $8's again before a sustainable real move up begins. I do think 2017 will be a big year with 100G really kicking in and the Docsis 3.1 upgrades well underway as well. Until 100G really picks up it is hard to see much sales growth with 40G on the decline. They have geared the operation to 100G so that really has to materialize and a lot of it is not in their control since they are dependent on the chipsets and other infrastructure required. The next couple of quarters can definitely be dicey in my opinion. 2017-2019 story should be very compelling so I am holding my core position and will buy more if we get a big drop on light Q3 guidance when Q2 report comes in August..
Sentiment: Buy
100G is projected to grow at a 55% compound rate through 2020. Any guess what the price may be in 2018 when AAOI is doing +$300 million at a +30% margin and earning $2+ per share? I think $25-30 may be realistic by then. Short term is anyone's guess but I agree there will be some sort of spike on a new datacenter announcement - they did say they expect to hear in the first half of the year.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Virtually every company in the universe has some form of potential overhang from the same sort of situation. Unconverted warrants, options, other convertible securities are as common as dirt. Similar language as to the excluded items is also as common as dirt in the 10-Q disclosures. Nobody has any obligation to disclose WHEN the items are physically converted to common shares.
If you actually wrote this "article" I would be hanging my head in embarrassment rather than holding myself out to be the savior of unsuspecting investors. Anyone with any sophistication knew all about this way before your completely false and shrill screams of company shenanigans hit the garbage can of Stinking Alpha. You are a charlatan lying short seller, not an "author" as you hold yourself out to be.
There was NO dilution that was not clearly disclosed. Go haunt some other company that has convertible debt or warrants or stock options that will eventually turn into common shares - their stupid and gullible investors surely need you. How many other companies that you have no financial interest in whatsoever are you trying to save?
I'm done, because trying to wear down a bashing liar has no end to it and I am not going to waste my time.
Sentiment: Buy
The author is falling all over himself trying to paint the company in a negative light because there are suddenly more shares in the outstanding column, as if this is sneaky and underhanded. From the recent 10-Q :" For the period ended March 31, 2016, the Company has excluded 899,574 options, 2,997,000 warrants outstanding, notes convertible into 3,194,279 shares of common stock, and Series B preferred stock convertible into 1,506,024 shares of common stock because their impact on the loss per share is anti-dilutive."
So there has ALWAYS been the overhang that some of those previously un-issued shares become outstanding as these various items get converted to actual outstanding shares. Always been there, fully disclosed in black and white on the official SEC document.
Now that some of those shares HAVE converted and the share count has gone up the author is going full bore trying to accuse the company of unethical behaviour. It is complete nonsense, this has ALWAYS been disclosed and many other companies do exactly the same thing. That is what is called fully diluted share count - it takes into account ALL possible additional shares from exactly the same things (options, warrants, convertible debt etc.) the company has disclosed very clearly. How Stinking Alpha gets any credibility escapes me - this article is a classic mis-information head fake and the "author' goes to great lengths to state he has absolutely no position and no intent to take any position in the stock. I guess they figure (correctly) that most readers are far too lazy to actually do any research on their own and this is why these "articles" have any impact at all.
Sentiment: Buy
I would respectfully disagree. They HAVE proved they can earn money and were nicely profitable until the most recent quarter. They have clearly been caught in the middle of the transition where the bulk of their R & D has been devoted to re-engineering the 100G products for maximum cost savings. They do have limited facilities and limited capital so they have to make the decision and live with it. They have mentioned many times now that they expect to fulfil the 100G demand at much better margins and have devoted resources accordingly. Unfortunately different 40G demand unfolded at more than they had originally thought so they had to manufacture more to make the orders but at a lower margin. I don't think this is going to last long, and they will get back to past levels of profitability and better when the transition begins in earnest. Buying and holding here should be a very prudent thing if one can hang on for a couple of years. By then almost all sales will be 100G and that is what they have geared the operation for.
As to keeping the customers happy more than the investors? That makes no sense at all. If you don't keep the customers happy there will be nothing but broke investors because there will BE no customers and consequently no sales. All Amazon has EVER done is keep the customer happy and wow - have the investors ever benefitted from THAT. We should be so lucky with AAOI.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Why bother? SA runs neck and neck with Motley Fool for being mostly useless "information". Basically some goodhearted Samaritan with "no position or interest" in the stock publishes a bash article that is strictly their opinion. I can't for the life of me figure out how they get legitimacy but there it is. Once in a while there are good articles there but a huge percentage are just worthless.
Sentiment: Buy
Broadcom bought CyOptics 3 years ago for $400 Million in cash. CyOptics was doing about $200 Million in revenues at the time. Very similar to AAOI and being that the 100G cycle is almost underway in a big way there could very well be some potential acquirers looking at AAOI. If 2x revenues was the price for CyOptics that would seem to be a realistic buyout price for AAOI as well. $400 million is $23 per share roughly. Safe to say a $20-ish price is realistic. I think it can get there on it's own once the new product cycles kick in over the next year but a buyout is always possible as well. Way undervalued here under any scenario.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not sure courage is the right term here. After going public at $15 and establishing the story pretty clearly at this price a huge part of the downside risk has been washed out. The products outclass anything else out there and they have already signed up over 100 hospitals in the Medicare Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement bundling program. That is HUGE because Medicare will fund a very large percentage of joint replacements and the push will always be to lower costs. Political pressure will be huge to lower Medicare costs and they could easily restrict the process to nothing BUT something like ConforMIS products since they have proven to lower overall costs due to shorter hospital stays, fewer complications etc.
Sure there could be some more downside - anything is possible in this wacko market but to me the risk/reward picture has changed pretty dramatically after a washout like this.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Agree. They already have proven test results clearly demonstrating the superiority of both joint function and patient recuperation times, and even more studies underway. I really don't see how anyone would choose anything OTHER than a customized replacement with this knowledge. I most certainly would demand it if I needed the procedure (which I most likely will - my knees are getting pretty bad). It really leaps out at you when you go to the website and see the surgeon interviews from doctors who have used the various products. They are well into develpopment with the hip replacement product also - probably see that introduced next year. They have a huge number of patents - it will be pretty hard to get around them all so as you mentioned one of the bigger fish could well buy them out just to get the IP and enhance their overall competitive position.
These situations always amaze me - who in the world would sell at a gigantic loss after a single light quarter when the long term picture has not changed an iota? I've scrubbed through the PR's and conference call transcripts - I just can't see anything but net positives. People seemed to love the stock at $15 and above and now trip all over themselves trying to get out at $5 when nothing has changed? Crazy. Buy it here and hold - great IRA investment.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Absolutely. I could not believe my eyes when I looked to see "the news" that would cause a stock to drop 50% in a single day. I figured it had to be a real disaster. Just a reasonable guidance adjustment of about $8 million in revenues over 2016. That's it. Nothing else has changed. Future is bright, products are phenomenally effective, demand will easily grow as more and more word gets out - . Just go to the website and check out the videos of the surgeons who are using the products - they are raving about how they are the best they have ever, ever seen. The CEO is only "moving aside" once they get a CEO who can help take this hyper growth company to the $250-$500 million sales level and beyond. He's not going anywhere until they find the star candidate who can do that - he's happy to stay as long as it takes. Very much misconstrued that the CEO is bailing out.
So basically due to an ESTIMATED guidance adjustment - which could easily be re-adjusted upward - of $8 million the stock loses over $200 million in market value. Incredible - this could quadruple easily from here over the coming year or two. Gotta love it when market insanity throws a gift like this at you.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
How can a product customizable to fit your specific anatomy, and already proven to provide superior results both in functionality and recuperation time NOT grab a significant chunk of that? A mere 2% is $300 million in sales, which alone will make the company wildly profitable. This price is a gift you don't get very often - I have never seen a stock cut 50% in a single day for anything less than a death knell scenario. I can't see anything wrong here other than a temporary pause in growth rate due to the lingering effect of the recall last year - which itself was not anything really terrible, just an abundance of caution. Long term looks as good as ever. Gotta love the quarterly fixation madness of the market - without it one would not get this sort of buying opportunity.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Price targets are almost always wrong, and change as frequently as the weather, and ALWAYS after the fact. I have never seen the mighty analysts change any information until AFTER a major event occurs. A Magic 8 ball is a more reliable indicator. Use your own judgment. A 50% drop for a 10% "miss" in guidance which is only a best guess to begin with? The market remains as large as ever and will grow even larger with the hip implant product. I can guarantee you if I was looking at a knee replacement I would choose a ConforMIS product - why would I want to do anything else when it is proven to be much more effective with much less chance of complication? These guys can corner the market in a few years. Just buy it and hold it - no reason at all this can't get back over $20.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Your guess is as good as mine on the ultimate high stock price. I agree with you - don't see why it can't revisit the $20's once the 100G wave really gets underway in conjunction with with the Docsis 3.1 cable upgrade cycle. If they get more big datacenter clients (remember they are in discussions with ALL the big players) they could be showing massive sales growth over the next few years, at significantly better gross margin than this quarter. A buyout is always a possible scenario as well. Broadcom bought CyOptics in 2013 for $400 million when that company was doing $200 million in sales - similar company and similar sales to AAOI. $400 million for AAOI is around $22 per share with the current share count.
At any rate, it seems the ultimate price should be at least in the $20's but it is hard to see it happening before next year and it is dependent on the 100G cycle unwinding as forecast. Just my thoughts - the price will most likely be range-bound at these levels at least through the summer unless they announce some significant new customer wins. Next call will be in August.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
From the 10-Q: "Our vertically integrated manufacturing model provides us several advantages, including rapid product development, fast response times to customer requests and control over product quality and manufacturing costs. We design, manufacture and integrate our own analog and digital lasers using a proprietary Molecular Beam Epitaxy, or MBE, fabrication process, which we believe is unique in our industry."
Their process IS proprietary (they have a lot of patents) , and obviously very robust and reliable or they would not have Amazon and Microsoft as their biggest customers. It's remarkable that a small company could land customers like that. They have stated repeatedly that the 100G margins are well above the current quarter's and they have made good profits with 40G before the recent "glitch" causing the margins to drop a bit. Looking out a couple of years 40G will basically be nil and almost all their sales are expected to be 100G at better margins. Major growth in 100G, new Docsis 3.1 cycle beginning also. It seems likely they will easily get back to profitability with the new product cycles and higher margins. It also is not farfetched to see a buyout of the company - lots of people have to see these upgrade cycles coming and see AAOI as a significant player in the cycle.
Nothing's for certain in the market but buying a quality company at historic lows with excellent future prospects is usually a good decision. I've been buying and look to hold into 2018 at least.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This is nothing more than the age-old game. Every stock in the history of markets goes up and down depending on the whims of the moment. Simple test : pick at random ANY stock you can think of. Check the difference between the 52 week high and 52 week low. With stunning regularity you will see a 50% (or greater) difference between the high and low. None of this has anything at all to do with the true underlying value of the business - it is all just noise, market maker tricks. options strategies, you name it. You have to either be a nimble trader taking profits on any move or a long term investor willing to ride the wave of up and down to make money in this market (or casino - you choose the term)
There was no way AAOI could sustain infinite growth rates of 60% every single quarter, particularly when there is a very clear transition occurring between 40G and 100G. 40G is coming into the twilight of it's life and 100G is not yet taking off in a major way - impossible for there not to be a few quarters of slower growth in the transition period.
Meanwhile, the gross margin is impacted for that very reason - they have to be ready for 100G so have devoted R&D to re-engineering THAT product for lower cost going forward. 40G actual demand for some products was more than they expected so they had to produce some at a higher cost to satisfy the customer -which is smart business. You cannot risk losing customers and reputation to "make" a quarter to keep the analysts happy.
Long term they have done exactly what they needed : kept customers happy and got the cost of the 100G into the sweet spot. When that curve kicks in, most likely late this year and continuing through the next few years, they will be reporting excellent margins and associated earnings. Not their fault the 100G chipsets are not yet widely available - all they can do is control their end of things and it appears they have done that. This is a 2017-2018 story and now is the time to buy and hold.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
It appears the 100G main wave is getting delayed for a quarter due to shortages of the new chipsets required for the switches needed before the AAOI Optics can be deplyed. Doesn't appear to be any decline in the long term trend to 100G but it opens up another quarter of waiting and the market does not like to wait. The analysts will be updating their precious models after the Q2 guidance being lighter than expected. Could be some exceptional buying points in the coming weeks. I thought low $10's was enticing, there will be better prices coming. Hold through 2017 when the 100G cycle will be in full swing. They are prepared operationally, just have to wait for the orders to catch up.
Gotta like this :"We believe the upgrade to 100G in the datacenter will be one of the largest upgrade cycles in optics to date, and we think the actions we took in Q1 position us well to maintain our leadership in cost and performance throughout this market transition."
I expect to be underwater on my buys short term but way ahead by this time next year. Pretty hard to second guess the casino market we have to live with short term but AAOI has all the earmarks of a big long term winner at these prices.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I agree - AAOI seems to be poised for significant growth over the next few years. This "hiccup" is typical of any business in the transition phase where older products are slipping a bit and the newer stuff has not yet ramped in a big way. The marker makers are doing their usual dirty work, knocking the price down with the endless 100-share head fake trades. Hard to ever call an absolute bottom for that reason - they can ALWAYS generate another 100 shares at an artificially low price, or some sucker sets a stop loss so low the MM's can't resist walking the price down to capture it.
Regardless, given the price destruction over the past couple of weeks and the future looking extremely bright it seems a great entry point here. Very cheap on most standard measurements - PE, price-to-sales, price-to-book. Chart shows it rebounds quite rapidly when the reversal occurs and there have been only a few weeks out of the 2 years of public trading the stock has been this cheap. I've been buying on every successive dip and look to hold for a couple of years as the 100G transition really kicks in.
The call will clarify the reasons for the quarterly "miss" and my bet is the guidance for next Q should be decent and getting better with each quarter the rest of this year and beyond.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Just reviewed the corporate presentation again (page 9 of the presentation on the website, in the Investor Relations section, presentation dated 3/7/2016). It's pretty clear that 2016 is expected to be a fairly modest year for 100G products and the company is smack in the middle of the transition. No big surprise that margins are a bit down since they are selling legacy stuff and the initial wave of 100G demand has not really kicked in yet. But looking ahead to 2019, 100G is projected to dominate with 40G virtually disappearing. Analysts (always taken with a grain of salt but nonetheless the market seems to value their opinon) are calling for earnings in 2017 of $1.61 per share. Slap a PE of 20 on that and it's a $32 stock. What about 2019 when 100G is running everything? Buy and hold - this has the potential to be a monster gainer over the next few years - forget the quarterly madness.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I don't think much happened except the same stuff that happens to ANY company when the market is obsessed with quarterly performance. Name a single company in the history of the world that has not "missed" a quarter. Product lines change, transitions occur, lots of stuff happens all the time to real companies in the real world that make the precious analysts wrong with their precious models all the time.
When these big selling waves begin they kind of take on their own momentum, and the market makers gladly help out by plunging the ask to shake out as many suckers as possible. Shorts smell blood and pile on to make a few bucks. NASDAQ is entirely a market maker based system and all shares are coming from a market maker somewhere. It is ALWAYS in their best interest to buy inventory as cheaply as possible so they do everything they can to walk the price down, pick up cheap stop losses etc. These big plunges tend to drive margin call selling as well - it happens all the time, over and over again. This is just another classic example of the same pattern repeating itself. Hard to ever call the exact bottom but usually buying a quality stock after one of these crazed short-sighted sellloffs has been a pretty good move. The company has stated they expect the transition to 100G and DOCSIS 3.1 to begin in earnest later this year so picking up a position here and holding should be a good move with any patience. It may still drift lower since a lot of buying interest will probably be on hold until the call gives more clarity but I bought yesterday and today and plan to hold for a couple of years. 100G is clearly the next big upgrade cycle for data centers as is DOCSIS 3.1 for cable operators. AAOI is very well positioned to ride the wave - what's happening this quarter is largely irrelevant except as a trading point. Look at the chart - the stock has only been this cheap for a few weeks in late '14 early '15.
Sentiment: Buy
