Why I’m Buying More Alloy Steel Shares
David Pinsen submits:
Alloy Steel International (AYSI.OB) is a nano cap company headquartered in Australia that uses a high tech, proprietary process to manufacture protective wear plates for mining equipment.

Since then, the stock has dropped by more than two thirds. Much of that drop occured after the company’s most recent quarter showed lower earnings than shareholders (including me) expected.
