I suspect it would cost more to sell those 10,000 shares than what you might receive, if you use a non-commission based trading platform.
I keep 10,000 shares as a gentle reminder to myself to never again invest in a startup with a convicted felon who is the CEO .
I forgot I own this piece of crap.
Yes, "maybe there will be happy news for BORKland" would be a valid prediction only if your last visit with John Bourque was "satisfying" in regards towards obtaining information that Bourque Industries was having positive developments occurring towards making this company successful.

Notwithstanding all the well deserved down trend observations during the past, I hope the the arriving holiday period is pleasant for all present and past BORK shareholders. Who knows, maybe there will be happy news for BORKland.
I DO NOT believe this from any 'angle'. #1 JB does NOT have a clue or perception on how to go from one successful step to another from a management perspective, a production perspective, or any sales prospective, or product/production perspective. He has failed in ALL critical components for success. I visited BI and his crew dozens of times in both all his locations in AZ, four of them. I saw the product sample that was sent Pratt & Whitney. . . it was NOT close to any of their requirement and was not surprised that they rejected Kryron. . . When companies were making inquires as to production Quality Protocols, there were NONE. . .As a former Quality Control Manager in the aerospace industry, I offered my help/experience to fulfill that and was TOTALLY IGNORED.
Through ALL my visits, I never really could conclude that Kryron was real other than its capacity to stop a 50 bullet, which ought to been something that BORK should have been able to build a viable product to compete in that market arena. HOWEVER this was not possible, IMO due to an excessive cost of production. Hard for me to imagine, as the aluminum was sourced using aluminum soda and beer cans, and the carbon [nanotubes?] seemed to be derived from charcoal briquets used for BBQ's. . .
JB did have some very capable individuals working for him from time to time , but it seems JB NEVER follow many or any of their suggestions as I did chat with them on this topic.
Whatever that other component actually was/is, it pushed costs high enough to NOT ALLOW for enough production to be competitive in body armor market.
SO, NO, BORK and JB could NOT have be come a success story and as we know now. . . IT IS NOT a Success to this day and won't because of any patent infringement and to my knowledge, there NEVER has been buy out offer based on any patent.

BORQ could have been a success story.
It's very very remotely like the guy who invented variable windshield wipers. He sued the automotive companies for patent infringement. GM (the first sued) offered him $900 million to settle out of court. The guy refused. (He still had Ford, Chrysler, American Motors). He went to court and lost. He could have been a multi-billionaire, but he refused to settle and ended up penniless.
Anyway very very very remotely like.
WOW. . . two weeks since the previous post. . . day traders are leaving as interest wanes with little action and less interest from us 'old timers/believers' seems to be forecasting the 'end game' for BORK. I have NO IDEA what that will look like and really don't care, but am a bit curious as what the 'end game' for JB will be with regard to BORK.
My other thought is that even WITH proper marketing and 'average' quality management, would Kryron live up to the presumed 'hype'. ??????????????????
Had Kryron had really all its 'magical' properties for any of its presumed applications beyond armor vests, IE: electrical wire, heat sinks, battery plates and any of the other potential applications, would the current out come still bring us to this POINT. . .????
I think NOT, Tesla, or those involved with Space-X or Virgin would have latched on to BORK making JB an offer that he could NOT REFUSE. . . My opinion now rests that Kryron was/is a fraud, much like the Gold recovery scam that gave birth to the Kryron Myths.

Check out the volume for BORK this year 2022.
low low very low
lower than the lowest of the lows
Meaningless ?
No, as it's a statement of how Bourque Industries is viewed by the investing community.
Bourque Industries is a scam.
Only use is for the day traders to flip for lunch money.
Once the day traders move on to the next penny scam BORK will collapse to .0001 or bankruptcy.
Don't think so... ask John Bourque.

Did my recent post to you...
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=169672867

Doug
As is his custom. KZMIKE displays wisdom and sound logic.
As usual wise and LOGICAL words from a long-time investor. . .
I am always taken aback a bit when I read some of the posts here that keep predicting high expectations of 'huge' increases in the PPS despite the zeros following the decimal of the current PPS.
IMO this company will NEVER amount to much until the 'news' or can provide actual sales that provides at least 3 digits on the opposite side of the decimal point.

Will the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 affect Bourque Industries ability to obtain sales and revenue ?
Assigned $369 billion to the mitigation of climate change over 10 years by making electric vehicles more affordable, developing clean energy and improving energy efficiency in everything from home appliances to industrial processes.
Bourque Industries always touted Kryron as improving the efficiency of conductors for the transmission of electrical signals and power.
Also, improved efficiency of batteries and Heat Sinks etc. etc.
https://kryron2.wixsite.com/bourque/applications
One would expect a flood of requests to qualify for some of that $369 billion.
But Bourque Industries has zero proven products "out there," just hype about them, so perhaps established manufactures of existing products can introduce the hype of Kryron to upgrade and increase efficiency of existing stuff.
One possible way John Bourque can have his cake and eat it too is to engage an established manufacture of alloys to upgrade (modify) their process to be able to make Kryron alloys and obtain revenue to cover that cost and the cost of obtaining the materials to generate Kryron versions for another manufacture to make the end product like transmission lines. Here John Bourque keeps his majority share holding ( no shares given out) that keeps John Bourque in total control of Bourque Industries while obtaining revenue for allowing others to make Kryron.
For sure Bourque Industries would be a billion dollar company with BORK raising into the hundred dollars if an investor gave Bourque Industries that 100-m John Bourque wants so as to allow Bourque Industries to "do it all."
But reality of today is...
"look at years gone by for a clue [of current] behavior"
Current behavior of Bourque Industries (John Bourque) is identical to all years gone by.
Zero indication for change.
So, have I written anything with any great consequence?......no.
However, the logic is sound.
In speaking of Bourque Industries there are frequent posts of John Bourque and there a references to years a decade in the past. I have seen it said that one things cannot be different now because everyone knows that a leopard cannot change its spots, and you cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
I am pleased to know that when talking of BORK or Bourque we are talking neither of leopards, spots, canines, or circus tricks, but one or more humans who have the power to change their own environment, behavior, and character. So one may look at years gone by for a clue and indication or estimation of current or future behavior, but those are just guesses. Who is BORK and Bourque today and tomorrow? Do any of us actually know? Can we prove tomorrow by decade old data?
I am confident that those currently owning BORK stock would prefer to see the company survive in abundance.
So, have I written anything with any great consequence?......no. However, the philosophy is logical and sound.
They still own the patents- whether anyone wants to admit that or not- and they still have all of the potential
The timeline is in their hands. I’m not someone that was here 12 years ago- so I get the scorn of what was and what should have been.
But to discount even the potential of an OTC company with a favorable share structure and prospects for success would be to sell it short. It’s the OTC- if someone farts in Toledo at the right place/right time, then you can see big gains for an OTC company
Perspectives my differ, but the reality does not
Correct, There have been investors, and most likely still now, that understand the incredible potential of this company, but John Bourque will not trade for the large (100m) investment cash in shares in this company that would remove John Bourque have complete control with his majority share holdings. Once again, the Board of Director Puppets will be held responsible even if Bourque Industries become successful as they will be held accountable for the past ten years that Bourque Industries could have returned value for their investments. If so, the Board of Director Puppets will forfeit all returns on their share holdings.
i don't think so. 12 years ago the potential was incredible but JB couldn't let go and earn the company $millions and $millions
Grab some popcorn- settle in- the wait will be worth it…. Even the prospect of good news could be good
Up big already here- even at these levels
Any hint of a catalyst in the OTC sends this
As the company continues to now file timely quarterly fins on otc marketers, doesn’t that seem to make it less likely that they would go bankrupt? I mean follow my logic- they pay money to file fins to stay current over and over
Whereas- there are plenty of other OTC stocks on the expert market that won’t drop a dime to stay current. Those companies look bankrupt
Then again- not all of us can proudly beat our chest and declare that we have been on this board for ten years. Maybe there’s an award for that? Honorary deputy? A participation ribbon? Jelly of the month club membership?
The potential here continues to be incredible
So what's happening here??
I never understood how someone so seemingly smart as you could be so suckered in by this stock?
Have I taught you nothing??
Ten years of missed opportunities to make cash.

I'm considering to "play" BORK using the mindset that Bourque Industries will continue to be a stagnated company, as it has been for the past 10+ years with no sales, far into the next many years until that element which has keep BORK alive using a manipulation process to keep BORK afloat with it's head just above the water line knowing that it's nature tendency is to sink to the bottom.
I'm sure John Bourque and the Board of Director Puppets have been that which has maintained Bourque Industries available for trading even-thought this company has no ability, itself being comatose and propped up with a zombie company web site.
Look at the 10+ year and last 5 year charts.
One could have flipped BORK hundreds of times between near zero and 2¢ for decent percentage returns. But to obtain a worthwhile return in the hundreds of dollars one needs at-least a million BORKs available to Buy and Sell. Today it looks like $5,000 to purchase that one million BORKs at $0.005 could start this process. One year ago BORK was at this low level.
I guess I could use 1 million of my 2.8 million and start now, or wait for .005 to happen, or wait for the destined .001, or is it .0001.
This link/patent does NOT seem to have much of anything of consequence to ANY of 'US' that have been following JB/BI for these many years. . . if there is something of consequence for 'US', Please enlighten those/everyone of us that missed the point of the link you presented.

Blast Off Failed
For the patent you referenced, no mention of John Bourque or Bourque Industries.

Blast Off
Others can travel that wild goose chase to decided the following...
... read the patend...
- is Bourque Industries cited ?
- is the name Bourque expanded to John Bourque ?
Once upon a time John Bourque created a worthless patend,
and unsuccessfully tried to sell it to Bourque Industries...
for... wait for it... million(s) of dollars.
O, I almost forgot... John Bourque developed the patend...
wait for it... while in prison.
Ha another worthless patent
once upon a time... basalt fiber
In 2010 Mr. Southworth founded Basalt Fiber Technologies, LLC. a new technology associated with converting volcanic rock into fiber. Mr. Southworth has joined the team of Bourque Industries and their associated companies due to the complementary technologies of both companies and their synergistic markets and applications
ok everyone... let us all
Correct me if i'm wrong: But JB could have had around $600 million for BORK armor if he had sold the rights. BORK could then develop kryron into other products and maybe still develop the gold properties into sellable assets.
---
But all that is flushed history now
When was the last time Bourque Industries communicated with the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders ?
I'll guess it was 10 (ten) years ago.
That's about when the company web site was created.
Check out the new company web site,
https://bourqueindustries.com/
and compare it to the one made 10 (ten) year ago,
https://kryron2.wixsite.com/bourque,
and Golly Gee, they are identical.
But really, does the web site deliver solid facts to determine Bourque Industries status,
that in the form of real communication to the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders ?
Nope.
Why?
It's all unrealized hype, nothing to signal that Bourque Industries is an active successful
and prosperous company delivering products for revenue.
But wait, what about the dozen personal body armors sold many years ago, and discontinued.
This was an instant of "products for revenue" you think, but perhaps not since it seemed that
the cost to manufacture exceeded the sale price, meaning "products for negative revenue."
If Bourque Industries today had positive news to give to the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders,
then why not disclose it in an update. For sure, more hype is worthless and just indicates that
Bourque Industries is an unsuccessful company with stock (BORK) worth zero.
Perhaps the problem with Bourque Industries giving out any current solid (none hype) news in an update
to communicate with the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders lies in the twisted (weak) mind of John Bourque
to prevent them Board of Director Puppets to release current good news.
It's easy to explain "the twisted mind of John Bourque" in this regards.
Those 10+ years of failure were never explained by Bourque Industries (a.k.a. John Bourque)
as no company updates were released to explain what was tried and failed.
This resulted in less that 10 (ten) folks to bash John Bourque "here."
So based on John Bourque "afraid" to read negative comments from a few disrespectful folks,
those not worth a second thought, as they count towards zero in the scheme of things,
John Bourque imposed a non-communication penalty to all Hurting in the Dark Shareholders.
Myself, I care not what others say about me as I'm solid in knowing myself and disregard
the opinions of others, positive or negative, as only I determine what affects me, not others.
Once again, less that 10 (ten) unimportant folks have "controlled" John Bourque's mind
to disrespect in whole the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders.
Just a sign or weakness.

"... if [Kryron] armor is truly best in class, it would seem that message would eventually make it to those who wish to survive an encounter with rifle or handgun fire."
Yes, "it's a crowded market" and I'm sure all of the established manufactures of ballistic plates have on their sales web site page identical demos and descriptions of results to match the Bourque Industries demos, with the exception of ceramic plates that most likely fill a niche market where single use is acceptable based on lower cost.
In 2011 John Bourque got law enforcement and military folks to the first demos, these folks were very educated on what the market already supplied for body armor, and here John Bourque put forth that Kryron ballistic plates were better.
Great, except as we all know and posted many times on this board, Bourque Industries could not deliver on any demands for sales, resulting in that feeling by those that attended the demos that John Bourque was a snake salesman and Bourque Industries a scam company. Doubtful any law enforcement or military folks will now in 2022 attend any Bourque Industries demos, or even reply to a sales pitch.
So once again, how does the public, law enforcement, and military (foreign & domestic) know Kryron armor is the better mousetrap?
I'll repeat my thoughts: John Bourque should contact the many online gun related web sites and ask them if they would like to receive at no cost two body armor plates for their testing, a Kryron one and a similar one from an established manufacturer that describes their plate to withstand the same impacts as described by John Bourque for the Kryron version with a note that the Kryron one will function at a superior level.
Prior Bourque Industries body armor demos seems to show multiple hits on a Kryron plate of a 50 caliber round without exit. Where other armor plates on the market may state results like this, its doubtful they will believe Bourque Industries story in the demo, and only would so if they conducted their own testing with another establish plate of same rating to show that Kryron plates are superior, as John Bourque says.
If this test by a gun related web sites can be demonstrated as true by them, and while multiple hits by a 50 caliber round is not a concern by the public needing protection from another deer hunter, this awesomeness of Kryron translates into the less expensive Kryron plates sold, and for sure will be noticed as needed by law enforcement and military for their vehicles when the bad guys show up as terrorist having military grade weapons inferior to .50.
So here, get published as an articles on a selected few high eyeball-count gun related web sites that has thousands of viewers.
That would get the small snowball at the top of the hill rolling towards obtaining a present that can't be ignored.
But of course it seems John Bourque is not open to advice like this and just feeds on his own personal consumption of me me me doing demos that have no chance of producing sales.
So once again, Bourque Industries run by John Bourque as majority share holder preventing those John Bourque's Board of Director Puppets from exercising their lawful duties will continue keeping Bourque Industries as a failed company moving towards bankruptcy.
Been hearing that for a while now… still ain’t true
But keep trying… it’s a free country
Wasn’t the pps supposed to be .0001 over a year ago? How’s that prediction going?
Doomsday prophecies are often a lot of hot air. Anyone who says the world is bad for all because it was bad for them should make anyone listening want to stop and take caution to their perspective
Another day… another negative thought
John Bourque's Board of Director Puppets negatively impact the availability of sources that can bring Bourque Industries towards success.
Simply put, John Bourque will not allow available means that can bring Kryron products to market, as that will remove John Bourque's share holding majority.
Thus, John Bourque's Board of Director Puppets march to the drum of John Bourque rather than their required legal duties.
That makes no sense
How long do we let John Bourque's Board of Director Puppets negatively impact our lives?
Answer: Until Bourque Industries goes banruptcy.
Which is on track to happen this year.
How long do we let others negatively impact our lives? It’s a serious question- ten years ain’t healthy
Yes, 10+ years is a long time for the Hurting in the Dark Shareholders waiting, so far unsuccessfully, for Bourque Industries (a.k.a John Bourque) to communicate with them. It's a point that they would welcome news, good or bad, to conclude the stench of a 10+ year fart John Bourque has released so far.
10 years!!!!! That’s quite a long time, isn’t it?
