AKP - Audio Pixels Holdings

Why the terrible performance lately?

For starters it is only a speculative company.....This may explain though..

Audio Pixel Holdings announced that it has completed the MEMS-ASIC integration stage. The overall product performance did not reach certain critical objectives required for its commercialized product. As indicated in the 4 November 2016 announcement, the first batch of MEMS devices received from the fab deviated from the required voltage specifications in that they required higher operational voltages. Notwithstanding exhaustive attempts to apply advanced techniques throughout the integration process, ultimately the higher voltages required to actuate the particular MEMS transducers produced in the lead batch of wafers, have so far proven to be beyond the drive capabilities of its ASIC controller.
 
Most of you know I am a long term AKP tragic. I am not amused by the latest share price slump, but I've been in the IT industry for over 30 years - I've seen it all. I see this as a slight hiccup, and haven't sold any shares. As they said....

"The overall product performance did not reach certain critical objectives required for our commercialized product.

As indicated in the November 4th 2016 announcement, the first batch of MEMS devices received from the fab deviated from the required voltage specifications in that they required higher operational voltages. Notwithstanding exhaustive attempts to apply advanced techniques throughout the integration process, ultimately the higher voltages required to actuate the particular MEMS transducers produced in the lead batch of wafers, have so far proven to be beyond the drive capabilities of our ASIC controller.

The company has identified the root cause for the voltage gap and has implemented a relatively simple design modification that will bring the device back into specification without disrupting the fabrication process flow "

So, we still wait for the next announcement by Fred....who hasn't sold any shares either, and the top 20 stays the same.
A minute fraction of one % moves the share price around... I don't worry at all. A lot of you guys are traders, buying and selling.... AKP must drive you mad !!!!

Me, I bought in early, average $3.80 and I'm just waiting.

Have you read any performance updates lately?
No news is NOT always good news. :oops:

These guys have had a long time to make this work, i would think that if they really had something some of the big manufacturers would of been throwing money at this...No news is NOT always good news.
 
Who is buying now?
The chart suggests a bottom may be in place - near enough the $10.70 I had estimated a few months ago. Not an enormous daily volume, but a steady rise the last few weeks.

Still very speccie, but I'm taking an early punt. DYOR and FYOP

You must be too busy to count your green notes with latest rise of AKP ??
Congratus mate
 
Well, the AGM is 31st May, at the Westin, Martin Place, Sydney. I will be there. Easy to recognise, I'm a big ugly guy with a shaved head and a black moustache. Last reports are that the working chip will be delivered prior to May 31st, so an interesting few weeks ahead. So far, there are 50 cents or so movements in the stock price, but no real volume. The serious holders are staying put, and you won't be surprised to know that so am I. I concede, it is an infuriating company as far as shareholder info is concerned, but, I've made my bed and will lie in it.
 
Am packing my bag to get to Sydney. Pixel, what are your charts telling you ? Whatever, I will be having a good lunch. Am booked at Beppi's.
 
slim prickings. A 2-month long flag pattern, interrupted by a brief dip to close a lower gap in the flagpole. That is encouraging.
However, there's a long way to go yet if the gap above is going to be filled. I really doubt that will happen before the 31st.

News Break:
AKP commences integration testing of the modified chips.
Trading resumes at 14:57
 
Dude it's 2017, not 1987. Beppi's is rubbish. Try Lucio's.
Mate, I'm a conservative person. I find something I like, and I stick to it. Beppi's has always been special to me... also Machiavelli and if you want outrageous German/Dutch/ Swiss food try Stuyvesant House in Crows Nest. Rudi and Max put on a great show. I've been going to these restaurants for over 25 years. Always get excellent service and food. The fact that they're still in business, with the original owners, says it all. Looking forward to the AKP meeting in about 7 hours. Should be an interesting meeting. My one real worry is that even if the chip works, can we manufacture enough of them quickly to meet demand ?

Lol. What a great line. Reminds me of a classic interview Q&A.

Interviewer: What do you think is your biggest weakness?
Interviewee: My biggest weakness is that I work too hard and sets a very high standard for myself and people around me.
 
I'd like to see it test the breakout level at $16.50 before I commit any more cash to my current position. The gap to $19.06 has been filled - prematurely, I'd have to say. But this morning's initial exuberant gap-up was closed in a sell-down after the AGM started. Maybe Investors were left underwhelmed by the presentations? Or too many question about timing and quality control remained unanswered? W8NC ...

Hey Mango, I was too busy to go to Sydney. Any insight you could share?
Cheers
