I don't follow either stock closely but had AVL on my watchlist after briefly owning TNG (glad it was only brief on that one).
Looking at this discussion, I thought I'd look at both charts to see which was outperforming. Instead I find it interesting how both AVL and TMT have very similar looking charts over a three year period.
Both shot up by similar magnitudes in that first year and both have since fallen by similar magnitudes. It's as if the overall market mood for the sector has been the dominant factor? I guess if one or the other makes faster progress to development, that may change.
