I will add so much to my position if it dips below 8.00 I got in originally with akeena at 7.10 a couple weeks back.  I have put a lot of time and effort into solar and Akeena.  I can tell you this Microcap is already a small cap if you get what I'm saying.  They have had over 100% growth in revenue over an annual basis.  There last quarter was a blow out, and they have added so many resources since then.  The STP deal for example, mean's one think for Akeena more GMP.  We have no even seen the results of this partnership reflected on the quarters in the past.  Another thing to keep in mind is things are finally starting to cool down; literally.  But these last 3 months were HOT and SUNNY.  This is the time of year for solar.  SUN=HEAT=CENTRAL AIR= $!$! ELECTRCITY BILL, which is going to result in the most desire to switch to solar.  Akeena's marketing strategy is all about saving money.   They are all about educating the customer or business.  Solar panel is a long term investment that will always pay for itself.  This trend has JUST begun, and the momentum will follow.  OIL will eventually run out, the use, desire, and need for "alternative energy" will never die out; it’s our duty as an intelligent species on this planet to find alternative energy.  I have decided myself to get one of Akeena's 5.0 systems installed using my profit from the stock.  Yes I'm that confident.  I think just Akeena's 70% residential 30% commercial strategy here in the US alone is enough for this stock to make 300% gains from here within the next 1-2 years.  Keep in mind this last quarter they made 7.51mil in revenue.  That is more revenue generated then the whole year of 2005, and more then 55% of what they made in the whole year of 2006.  Also there gross profit from last quarter is over 58% of there total gross profit from all 4 quarters of 2006.  if this not growth I don't know what is

If you want to increase your faith in this little company or own or are considering to own AKNS, then I suggest you dedicate an hour to their last conference call:

Another thing worthy of pointing out is there event calendar, check out how they have had more events in this last month of September then all the months combined since 2006.  This new marketing/educational strategy they are applying is brand new since there last conference call.  I don't think having that many events in one month is desperation, just realization of just how huge what they are doing really is:
