Shares soared 16% in after hours trading after the announcement. We're up big since opening up our positions 3 weeks ago, and could have been up more had I acted on my original due diligence 2 months ago. APT executives had been giving hints on a robust 2nd quarter and long lead times for deliveries since June. CEO's normally don't drop hints like that unless they know execution won't be an issue. In other words, this was telegraphed 2 months ago.

Lawsuits fly when CEO's dupe and mislead investors. Another lesson learned. Gotta trust my instincts more. That's okay, a 40% return in less than 3 weeks is a lesson I don't mind learning.

Disclosure: Long position in APT shares.
