AKP - Audio Pixels Holdings

[Mango51]

I actually really like the AKP story. I do not hold but can see the potential there.

However your comparison is a bit silly When Ronald Wayne sold his shares in 76' Apple merely consisted of three dudes in a basement, no revenue or pipeline, just conceptual schematics. Wayne had a previous start up fail and wanted to get out. In interviews he has stated that he made the best decision with the information *available at the time*, and doesn't regret his decision.

I take your point re Ronald Wayne- I just used the story as someone who didn't buy the dream, and got out too early. And yes, I fully understand why he says he doesn't regret his decision - after all, what else could he say ? Privately, I betcha he bitterly regrets that he missed out on the biggest payday in his life. When someone comes along with a totally disruptive technology ( Uber, AirBnB) there are those who realise the potential, and there are those who just don't understand. And they miss out. I first heard about AKP when it was still called Global Properties - the whole concept of digital speakers just grabbed me, and I made a fairly serious investment. I am now up approx $1 million, (on paper, yes) but with a lot more expected upside. There are only 27 million shares, this is no pump and dump. The movement in the share price tells me that the chip works....existing holders are picking up what they can and probably new investors are coming on board as well. I first mentioned this stock on this site @$9. It is currently $33.

There is just not enough stock available - there will be either a stock split, maybe 10:1 or someone is going to make a bold offer. $100 per share is only $2.7 billion, which is beer money and bus fares for any serious company in sound technology. How many billion mobile phones get sold every year ? Radios, TVs etc ?

I've been following this thread for a long time (actually how I came across this site). I never pulled the trigger but I'm very happy for you, Mango. You put yourself out on the line and you've ended up with a HUGE payday. Do something nice with that money, champ

 

[Roller_1]

It is really moving the last few months.

I hope for your sake it gets to $100 like you said, but i also hope for your sake you have some kind of exit strategy and don't ride the wave all the way back down if that's the way things pan out.. I'm sensing some serious love for the stock but i think that has probably burnt more investors in the past than it's helped

Hopefully $100 though..

Hear, Hear!
That is precisely what happened to a good mate in 2000: PLS, in its early incarnation, announced plans to join forces with Honeywell (I believe it was) to provide mobile comms services across the Pilbara. My mate went in over his head at 20c a pop and urged me to join him because "this thing will be huuuuuge!"
When the sp crossed $2 (I think it was - might even have been $5), I suggested he at least pull his initial investment out, pay back the loan, maybe take some profit too. "No, it'll go to at least 20 bucks" was the answer.
Of course, nothing came of those plans, and the sp fell all the way back to 10c, leaving him with zilch.

Contrast that with a friend who invested some of her own money 2 years ago in LNG, when it languished around 37c. Not long after, at around $4, we celebrated her $1M profit - and she liquidated 90%. Now THAT is smart!

Yep, nothing wrong with loving a stock but at least have a plan to bank the profits..

That's a perfect trade almost! I bet some people bought there and kept holding all the way back to the 50c level recently!

Good one

Thanks. I'm looking at a silver Aston Martin DB9..... But that is still months away. The SP is going crazy, I just keep watching it, can't believe how much money I make every day. We still wait for the formal announcement re the chip, but everything tells me that a whole bunch of insiders know what's happening. Nearly 65,000 shares traded today, SP up $2.84.......do not know where it will end, but with a buyin price of $3.80, there is no way I can lose.

I hope you post a pic of your Aston though

That will be happening... At present its still all paper gains, but I watch this stock like a hawk, and if it was suddenly realised that the product was a fantasy, I'd be out in an instant. I would surely be able to get out above $3.80 if I had to. The Pixel story is different to mine - we are talking ground changing technology here. I've visited NZ twice recently, used AirBnB both times. This new concept is hurting hotels, motels, staff etc. They don't pay tax either - my AMEX shows a payment to Ireland, no Aussie ABN or tax file number. I don't know how you can stop it, police it or tax it, but the shareholders in AirBnB are laughing hysterically. Same with Uber - I feel sorry for those poor bastards who paid $200K plus for taxi plates which are now basically worthless.

My roots are in IT - some people just don't understand that the Internet has changed EVERYTHING. Everything that you believed in, that used to make sense, is no longer appropriate. As for me, I'll keep riding the AKP train to hopefully past $200, then I'm out and buying Sydney property...and my Aston Martin

Aww mate,
A silver Aston is soo overrated. Makes you conspicuous and attracts attention from all the wrong people.
I'd much rather get this sleek little number back.



I owned one in my late 20's.
PS for Mango: I share your passion for IT. Been in it all my life. Among others, I was part of the Linotype team that "disrupted" the old hot metal typesetters, introducing photo and CLAD-EDIT text processing.

Nice car Pixel. I am somewhat embarrassed that I can't identify the specific make/model. Is it a corvette? I'm in the USA later this year with my wife and we'll be driving from Las Vegas to Dallas. Was thinking either a Mustang or Corvette as a hire car. Have always had a sneaking yen for an Aston Martin though - a salesman I worked with in the 80's bought himself a DB5. Anyway, we'll wait and see what happens. Just hold your nerve and stay in. This is totally disruptive technology, some big speaker companies are going to be out of business. I am sure we can figure a way to short them ...means we make even more money.

I went to school with a guy who completed a printing apprenticeship with The Evening Post, in Wellington NZ . Won't tell you his name, but he was back in the days of setting individual lines of type to produce newspapers. Rupert Murdoch destroyed the English unions when he introduced
computerised typesetting...it's all over now Baby Blue.

I often wonder what this guy is doing now. He did a 5 year apprenticeship, thought he was set for life, but technology rendered him irrelevant. Don't think normal, think outside of the square.

It's an Opel, Mango
They brought the GT out in reply to the Corvette, may even have borrowed some styling from the Jag E. It had the gearbox and transmission between driver and passenger seats (Recaro Sports of course), and the engine far back as well. Road handling was phenomenal, weight distribution being as close as you can get to a middle engine. (I think it was about 55:45 front vs rear.) 4 inch ground clearance, so nothing for unsealed roads or cobblestone paving. At just under 4ft high, she could probably limbo under some road trains :.

Wow. Almost like a GT 40.
Spectacular looks. I'm married to an Italian, (she drives a Jeep) so all options are on the table. For me, the E-Type is still the sexiest car ever made, but once I could afford one - in the 70's- I did the research and realised that mechanically it was a dud. Back then the joke was that you had to own two Jaguars - one to drive while the other was being fixed/serviced. I do concede that the Germans make sensational cars, while the Italians are just off the page. Hard to imagine that I am seriously considering a car owned by some company in India. But there you have it, I share the same initials as 007... Mr Bourne as well, so I'm in good company.

... back to Audio Pixels:
I'm still treating this as a swing-trading stock. Made some Intraday profits yesterday, and sold the remainder at Close when the chart finished in a Dark Cloud Cover. I won't buy back before I see a reasonable support level. That can be the bottom of any of those open gaps - right down to $23.10.

That's the difference between you and me. You're an investor, play the charts, buy and sell, take the margin. Me, I've always been in for the long haul, I bought the dream. It doesn't bother me if the price drops a bit, just traders like you taking a profit. I keep my eyes on the big holders, and they ain't selling. I'm in for the really big payday. Remember that I told you about this stock when it was $9 - I imagine you've been in and out of it several times since then, that's your strategy and I respect that. We all have different motives. I suspect the SP will move around a bit over the next few weeks, up - down.... Doesn't worry me. I'm just waiting for late August, early Sepember. If it tanks or rockets, it will be all over the press anyway. Biggest bet I ever made, but - no guts, no glory.

Apparently some guy called Harry Jennings from BBY rubbished AKP on tv yesterday.

We keep hearing this story trotted out, that the technology does not work, that it will not play music etc.

Quoting again from Danny Lewin, CEO of AudioPixels, at the 2016 AGM:

"Certainly our longtime shareholders are well aware that industry altering innovation of this magnitude doesn't happen overnight. Our accomplishments are the result of a massive engineering effort that has transpired over the course of nearly a decade...here I need to pause and give well-earned recognition to my friend and fellow co-founder Yuval Cohen, who beyond being the technological visionary has led the development effort from its inception. Yuval together with Shay Kaplan our Chief Scientist and fellow co-founder along with our incredibly talented team of engineers and scientists have applied tremendous effort, creativity and dedication to accomplish what many not to long ago, claimed was an impossibility, and in the process we amassed a vast portfolio of intellectual property that includes over 100 granted patents (precisely 119 and counting).
When we launched the company in mid-2006 we had the modest objective of proving or disproving the technical feasibility of the technology. Over the following 3 and half years we examined the fundamental concepts and principles of implementing digital sound reconstruction. Our goal was to understand if it was possible to leverage modern fabrication technologies in order to produce sufficiently loud, qualitative sound in small form factors.
In mid 2009 we definitively offered the proof positive having produced the worlds first, and as far as we know only, generation of silicon chips that were capable of reproducing speech and music at expected quality and sound pressure levels.
The year following that monumental achievement was spent improving the prototypes and demonstrating the technology to industry experts as well as many of the leading companies that have a high stake in audio and loudspeakers. That period of demonstration is still to this day reverberating throughout the industry as they eagerly wait for our products."

Danny Lewin is CEO of AudioPixels. He knows what the chip can do. He knows what the patents say.
He has told us as CEO that the chip plays sound, speech, and music. Danny has a lot invested in the company. Who are we to believe?

I bought today as part of a MR strategy and promptly sold. I have a feeling this is going to get smashed very soon. Not trying to down ramp.
