I disagree and agree with your comment. We don't know the actions being taken by the company or the detailed reasons for the current state of affairs. Obviously Steve is not sitting by and letting them steam roll over him and that is in our best interests too. Until we have details it is any ones guess.
On the OTC or off the OTC doesn't matter. I agree with you that "no serious institution would touch the stock". You can collateralize most stocks at $5.00 (borrow against the position), and a lot of retail investors and portfolio managers that use leverage won't touch an otherwise good investment because of this. Once a stock crosses north of $5, new money tends to pour in. If they announce a contract you can bet there will be a lot of NON INSTITUTIONAL investors pouring into this investment under $5. With the players Steve is possibly aligning with i.e. DowDuPont you know an announcement of that magnitude would raise a lot of eyebrows, including the news medias. The question is, how high will your eyebrows go?
OK, so what if it was Ken Fischer himself? MY point was you were wrong to assume a billion dollar contract wouldn't attract a lot of buying - even if QTMM was on the OTC; there are billion dollar companies on the OTC.
For that matter, do you know why Ken Fischer bought and sold? You assume it had something to do with Sri leaving. Assuming that Sri wanted to issue preferred shares and sell-out the company, maybe that was just as well, but not evidence of 'solid progress'.
Steve addressed this in the shareholder letter. Things are now starting for the industry, Sri along with his staff are gone as of a year ago. Steve has shareholder interest in mind vs selling. Also QMC is worth for their Flow and Patents much more than the current shareprice considering QD Vision sold for 60M and rumor has it that Nanosys is worth a Billion.
Agreed, continued patience will pay off imo. Continuing to add at these levels.
Fischer investments didn’t purchase anything. Ken Fischer bought personally a small position that he held for 3 months and sold. He purchased when Sri was in charge and things were moving in the right direction with REAL employees and QD innovators on the team. He sold after Steve came back and just about every REAL employee departed. There’s no institutional money getting near this after all the issues this year.
https://www.gurufocus.com/stock/OTCPK:QTMM
This is when most smart money sold, after the random run up in February.
I mean when you really think about it, the only true, solidifiable progress happened before Sri, Carson, Lindberg, Stott, and Co. all departed. The only marketable product that even landed them the Uniglobe Kisco deal was created by people who are no longer there. All we get now is share holder letters, “1000-3000 hour milestones” and funny smelling deals like FF that end up falling through apparently. Still no news on if we saw the first $250,000 from them bc we now get no filings so we can’t even review financials......we were given a deadline of that filing to be done within the grace period and still silence from the company after we surpassed that date over a month ago.
If Steve has time to poke around on my LinkedIn page in the last few weeks then he should have time to address the concerned share holders with a simple update or Q and K filing.
So negative! With a billion dollar contract uplisting itself would be a slam dunk, and plenty would invest. Even things as they have been on the OTC, Fischer investment put some money into the stock - with a huge contract the floodgates would open.
Food for thought as to how many "Sparks" will we fit into?
Spark #1: Game-Changing New Contracts
A little company that secures a large, new contract with a key customer can see its stock really take off. The contract can come by way of a larger private-sector customer or a public sector contract with a government entity… at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter where the contract comes from. What does matter is the scale of the contract relative to the company’s existing sales.
Spark #2: Management Upgrade
Public companies must report changes in management – and that information is hugely valuable for investors. Sid makes it a point to see who has the chops to lead and succeed by digging up their resumes and studying how they fared in previous positions of power. He’s looking for stocks that may jump on the news of a management change – and if the management change can lead to a successful turnaround, that’s even better.
Spark #3: Disruptive Technology
Sid is always on the hunt for the latest viable technological, medical, or special niche product that has the ability to either change the world or support a macro trend that is changing the world.
Spark #4: Upward Revenue and Earnings Revisions
Revenue and earnings sparks are about more than just beating analyst expectations. Sid’s analysis has determined thatupwardly-revised guidance has a much bigger impact on a stock’s move. These upward revisions can come from Wall Street analysts, which is good. But upward revisions that come directly from the company itself can really light the fire under a company’s stock too.
Spark #5: Institutional Interest
You know a company has started to hit its stride when institutional investors start gobbling up outstanding shares. Mutual funds, hedge funds, exchange-traded funds, and pension funds… these are the guys that make the market – by deciding where the next hot sector will be. And once they “tip their hand,” it’s usually just a matter of time before the media breaks the news and regular investors pour in. Sid gets there first. He identifies the tell-tale signs of initial institutional interest through published data, well before others spot it.
Spark #6: Sector Rotation
Money is always in flux. It flows from one sector or asset class to the next. Sometimes these moves are quick and violent. Sometimes they can last for years. Sid’s suggestions may become more concentrated in one particular sector (like biotech and energy), but that just means Sid’s analytics have identified an existing opportunity or even an upcoming opportunity that is currently off the radar.
Spark #7: Returns
Until a stock starts to perform, it’s merely tying up capital in your account. That’s why Sid always looks for stocks that have already demonstrated favorable momentum. That momentum could be over a long period of time, where a stock continues to hit new highs – or it could be over a short time frame, when a stock demonstrates a breakout from a base. In both cases, we’ll be looking for increasing volume on the move. That lets us know we’re not alone – and it also gives us hints as to possible institutional interest. And as I said above, the party really gets started once institutions start piling in.
Multi-Catalyst Event
Well it looks like we still have time to accumulate, on the cheap, as #5 is at least a year away. However, we hit or will be under the umbrella in most of the points being made with the criteria for a stock to run. One other point I think should be noted with this technology that makes it stand out from most, except the drug industry, is the lack of investor choices to put their money in. The parallel to the drug stocks is when a new block buster drug comes out, that pharmaceutical company runs like crazy. I think we are set up for the same type of scenario. So hold onto your hats because when the ride starts it is going to be a crazy, insane ride!
Hope the Holiday Season brings some joy to all of you.
Bill
Nice article, hopefully QTMM can hang here there until QD's become more mainstream. Probably another year or 2 for it to catch on.
Freschfield is centuries away, have you researched them ?

Engineering Entropy for the Inverse Design of Colloidal Crystals from Hard Shapes
Yina Geng, Greg van Anders, Paul M. Dodd, Julia Dshemuchadse, Sharon C. Glotzer
(Submitted on 7 Dec 2017)
Throughout the physical sciences, entropy stands out as a pivotal but enigmatic concept that, in materials design, often takes a backseat to energy. Here, we demonstrate how to precisely engineer entropy to achieve desired colloidal crystals. We demonstrate the inverse design of hard particles that assemble six different target colloidal crystals due solely to entropy maximization. Our approach efficiently samples

particle shapes from 88- and 192-dimensional design spaces to discover thermodynamically optimal shapes. We design particle shapes that self assemble known crystals with optimized thermodynamic stability, as well as new crystal structures with no known atomic or other equivalent.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.02471
Freschfield in my opinion is a dead deal. They have no money, and putting up a bunch of smoke and mirrors.
misery loves company.
Concerning LGs deal with Dow/Nanaco:
That announcement was dated 9 January, 2015.
That was almost 3 years ago. How much revenue has that deal provided to Nanaco over the last 3 years?
From the 2015 announcement:
"Nanoco shares were up 1.3% to 118.00 pence on Friday morning."
Nanaco closed today (12/8/17) at 27.25 pence.
Very likely that deal is long dead.
Anyone have any suggestions for diversifying in Quantum Dot Tech?
I am going to maintain my position with QTMM until it goes to zero, but I want to start putting my money in other companies.
I cannot find a ticker on Nanosys.
I will start researching how to invest in London Stock Exchange to get some Nanoco.
Any non-sarcastic suggestions would be appreciated.
Hook'em!!!
"Samsung will source the quantum dots for its next generation TVs in-house and reinforces its view that Samsung is likely to sign a deal with Dow for quantum dot supply in future."
"LG Electronics has signed a deal with The Dow Chemical Co for the supply of Nanoco's cadmium-free quantum dots"
All old news, but nothing has changed... I am sure Samsung is going to try and do everything in house if possible. I would if I was Samsung. Samsung does not need QMC for anything.
Dow may or may not use QMC. especially if they already are being supplied by Nanoco.
http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/AN_1420794204671021600/update-nanoco-confirms-lg-deal-as-nanosys-retracts-samsung-claim.aspx
What makes you think that? Have you heard news or know something the rest of us do not?
There has been no news or REAL evidence that QMC is working with DOW. ("engaged with" is not contracted with or have a revenue producing agreement with.)
QMC has definitely not said as much. They have been very careful not to say they have any real progress or contracts or agreements with anyone.
They have been careful to make it clear that they are not leading investors to thinking they have made any REAL progress whatsoever. They are in exactly the same position they have been in for years.
NO contracts and No revenue... just potential and expectations....blah blah blah.
You cannot sue a company for saying they have expectations. They are being careful not to promise anything. Just QTMM covering their asses.
I think Dow now realizes that QMC has the capability to produce the Q-Dot that will match their specifications for their product Trivista. Until they are completely satisfied all QMC can do is wait for the green light from them. It appears that Nanoco can't match QMC's quality and output.
Freshfield is a lot further away IMO than the display market for revenues and I'm not worried about the filings. CES is what I am looking at for confirmation that QMC product is past the sample stage in development. Nanoco is in the same position as us.
I make 1000% this week. Win some lose some. I don’t cry about it day in and day out. It’s all a gamble, man up!
Let’s expect basic stuff like freshfield
Actually happening. Filing reported and lets expect not to get delisted
I'm expecting something significant by CES 2018.
Hope we can run like WOFA has in the last week!
Didn't we go through that rabbit hole before???
I have no idea: same, different, new????
However; we went through (something very much like) this a few years back.

Great Walmart/Salvation Army analogy there sir
I am more concerned with “engaged with”...
What does that mean? Engaged as in future marriage or engaged as in we said hello and rang our Santa bell at them when they passed us going to give business to a real company.

Deep Neural Networks for Accurate Predictions of Garnet Stability
Weike Ye, Chi Chen, Zhenbin Wang, Iek-Heng Chu, Shyue Ping Ong
(Submitted on 5 Dec 2017)
Predicting the stability of crystals is one of the central problems in materials science. Today, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are the computational tool of choice to obtain energies of crystals with quantitative accuracy. Despite algorithmic and computing advances, DFT calculations remain comparatively expensive and scale poorly with system size. Here we show that deep neural networks utilizing just two descriptors - the Pauling electronegativity and ionic radii - can predict the DFT formation energies of C3A2D3O12 garnets with extremely low mean absolute errors of 7-8 meV/atom, an order of magnitude improvement over previous machine learning models and well within the limits of DFT accuracy. Further extension to mixed garnets with little loss in accuracy can be achieved using a binary encoding scheme that introduces minimal increase in descriptor dimensionality. Our results demonstrate that generalizable deep-learning models for quantitative crystal stability prediction can be built on a small set of chemically-intuitive descriptors. Such models provide the means to rapidly transverse vast chemical spaces to accurately identify stable compositions, accelerating the discovery of novel materials with potentially superior properties.

get ready you bloody pukes!!!!
Bottom Line Investors who are concerned about the SP need to review the SH letter again..heres a portion of it which is relavent. Day to day operations of most companies are not something that needs to be divulged to shareholders. If they are working with partners to close deals then it will be the partners dictating the timelines not QMC.
"I receive lots of emails and phone calls from shareholders every time the share price retracts and I certainly understand that this can be concerning. In most cases we have little more insight to whats happening in the market than most of you do. There have been occasions when the company has done a financing and in the process issued shares to the investor group. Although I try at all cost to avoid these types of disinterested investors, the company has done such deals in the past. These groups never intend to be long term investors and will exit the minute they can sell their position at an acceptable return. Often disrupting the market in the process. It is easy to interpret this selling as someone with a loss of confidence when in fact it is simply business as usual for these investors. I simply want to say sell offs happen and there is really little the company can do about it . I believe any shareholders that take the time to understand the fundamentals can easily recognize the extraordinary potential that quantum dots, nano-materials and our continuous flow process hold. I believe with absolute certainty that we will succeed in delivering our products and technologies to the commercial market. We would all like to see this achieved sooner than later and I would like to believe the majority of people that decide they can’t hold on to their shares do so as a result of need or impatience rather than a lack of confidence. If they are divesting as a lack of confidence then that means we are not doing a good job of conveying the progress and extraordinary performance that our materials and technologies can and will deliver.
As a final note, I remain committed to providing you with timely detail on these other product markets and ongoing company operations. As we develop relationships, the new market and product development information will be released in a manner that does not jeopardize our strategic positions. In closing I realize that the late filing of our 10K may have caused some concerns. This late filing enhanced the company’s ability to deal with the actions of a lender, that in spite of being paid on time has chosen to take predatory actions. We will be filing the 10K within the allotted grace period and will make every effort to communicate more on this topic as appropriate. I want to thank all of you for your continued patience and support. Please do not construe lack of communication with lack of progress, it is more often the opposite case. There are in fact many exciting things I would like to be able to share now that will have to wait until they develop further and can be released with the consent of our partners.

Confirmed with CES via email. They are in booth with Variowell.
We have the dots, just not the numbers to connect them by. We may get a share holder update saying "No, no, no, you morons, it was supposed to be a picture of a rubber ducky!"
Remember this old chestnut?
Yes, i realize the mention of the chemical company was at the end of a paragraph about film.
Lol! I can’t argue that.
That very well could be a possibility in the future. You may be right!
As always Sir, you are accurate; he did say that they were in talks with arguably one of the world's largest chemical companies...To me this clearly means Exxon Mobile. Last i checked, Exxon Mobile has more than four times the revenues of Dow and "arguably" (seriously, try to counter the argument that Exxon mobile doesn't deal in chemicals), their products are chemicals...BAM! ZIP!! QTMM straight to the moon!!!
Lol!
I thought Squires said in the letter that they were discussing licensing qdot production tech to the largest chemical company.
Since they're manufacturing a film with QMC's QDX dots, ah-doi!
Disclaimer: There is no solid evidence that QMC has even spoken with Dow Chemical. This post is entirely facetious. Having properly used the word facetious in a sentence, i'll be going back to bed now.
Since when is Dow Chemical at CES?
https://ces18.mapyourshow.com/7_0/exhibitor/exhibitor-details.cfm?ExhID=T0007466
Upon further investigation, they are shown in the sleep tech section, but the both also has another company assigned, Variowell Development GmbH.
Either it's an error on the location or they are partnered with Variowell.
US company Solterra has already begun to build a commercial plant in Jeddah City in Saudi Arabia, which will supply its Quantum Dot solar cells to the booming construction market there. It expects to begin mass production early in 2010. ‘Several solar module manufacturers are waiting to transfer our printed cells into large area devices,’ says ceo Steve Squires. ‘We expect to start shipping at the end of Q1.‘
Quantum Materials Corp and Freschfield PLC Execute Funded Collaboration Agreement for SmartSkinz Development

The QDX™ Platform combines the molecular power of quantum dots and the security of distributed ledger technology (blockchain) to address the $1.2 trillion global counterfeiting and product liability problem.? The QDX platform is a cost effective passive additive technology that dramatically enhances tracking and security utilizing smart device technology.? Multiple global companies have begun exploration of the technology and how it can be implemented into their product lines and supply chains. Sectors such as apparel, luxury brands, oil & gas, high security ink and paper, defense, environmental, cannabis and many more are looking for solutions such as the QDX platform with the desire to integrate across their supply chains. Stay tuned for more exciting news to come about the QDX platform in 2020.
2019 Was an exciting year for QMC! We achieved significant steps to monetization of our quantum dot technology. We hit many important milestones technologically and commercially. QMC made a key acquisition with the purchase of Capstan platform digital assets and key hires to support expansion and growth. Solar production demand is increasing dramatically as does demand for quantum dots in the display space all of which QMC is leveraging to produce revenues and position itself as the leader in high volume, high quality, environmentally friendly quantum materials and production technologies.
Another major development is the QDX platform and our integration of quantum dot production and DLT/blockchain. It has become clear that quantum dots have the potential to be used in many applications as markers to identify physical items in specific locations in time and space. Up until now there was no way to identify the dots uniquely or serialize the dots. The QDX platform for the first time in history bonds the physical and the digital in a tamper proof highly secure digital environment. For the first time dots will be “branded", registered and serialized as they are produced and associated with a cryptographic hash identifier in the blockchain.
In another industry first QDX Ledger incorporating the latest distributed ledger protocols including Hyperledger Sawtooth and DAML. We will be sharing more details as the development nears completion in the third quarter. In the meantime, we are seeking proof of concepts with a number of significant companies that see the benefits of being early adopters of industry use cases. This technology opens up a myriad of business use cases and opportunities to fight the global $1.2 trillion counterfeit and product liability problem we are all affected by. We are well positioned to be the first quantum dot enabled revenue producing use case in the global track and trace marketplace.
Display manufacturers continue to court us and our cadmium free quantum dot technologies. As mentioned in our 2019 highlights, the achievement of the industry first 100% cadmium free RoHS compliant, quantum dot LCD display film to exceed 95% Rec. 2020 color gamut created inquiries for testing with multiple display OEMs to potentially license our capabilities. As many of you may have seen this last holiday shopping season, QLED and quantum displays are now mainstream. The demand for environmentally friendly quantum dots is exponentially higher than 12 months ago as evidenced by this headline: "Samsung to invest $11bn in cutting-edge quantum dot displays" - Nikkei Asian Review Moving into 2020. QMC is well positioned to take advantage of this new mass adoption of quantum dot displays and is hard at work to validate its next generation technology to the display screen marketplace.
There seems to be much misinformation regarding the uptake of quantum dots in displays. The marketplace is very dynamic and is rapidly become commoditized. Other than Samsung all, other QD displays are using some cadmium. As the Chinese display manufactures have now embraced cadmium solutions inexpensive cadmium display films are entering the market at low prices. All other current solutions require a barrier film in order to pass the long-term stability testing. QMC recognized that in order to succeed in this marketplace we need to deliver a cadmium free product that is RoHS compliant, provides superior REC 2020 performance and meet the stability requirements at a price point competitive with the Chinese pure cadmium offerings. The only way to achieve this was to eliminate the need for the barrier film. QMC has just completed the stability testing of this product and anticipate introducing it to the market during 2020. In parallel to this effort we remain active in our effort to license our display technologies to one or more significant display industry companies.
Solar demand and opportunities continue to grow. Though the Assam India solar project, our licensee had delays due to weather and is now moving forward and back on track and projections for our licensees’ quantum dot production have increased which is welcome news. We have also identified additional regions in India and the Middle East who desire to license our technologies in the same way. We are working to upgrade micro reactor equipment to be more secure, handle greater demand and work more efficiently and with less maintenance.
We know many of you have questions about the company’s filing status. We have been working with our auditors and counsel to complete our disclosures, particularly in regard to equities. The company has a number of complex transactions and we are making an extra effort to detail these in our disclosures.
Our Assam licensees have assured us that they are working diligently to make up for time lost due to the recent historical flooding that the Assam region experienced. We have been informed that the site work is nearing completion and that some construction is being conducted offsite as prefabricated components. Our licensee has already made significant payments and additional payments are due to us once the reactors are setup and tested. This will allow us to recognize revenue once these benchmarks are met. We will also be delivering pre and post processing equipment this year.
We have continued to maintain aggressive cost control measures, never forgetting this is a marathon and not a sprint. We believe we will be able to duplicate our Assam license model in other regions and we are working diligently to monetize our quantum dot solar technology and display material technologies via licensing.
Our Assam India licensee has reported that now that the flood waters have subsided, site work is being completed and as much construction as feasible is being prefabricated off site. They have expressed their dedication to making every effort to make up for time lost due to mother nature wrath.
We believe our QDX Ledger Platform can help solve the worldwide counterfeit products problem. We also believe this will create significant value for QMC as a foundation for numerous recurring revenue income streams. We are continuing to focus more resources on R&D and with our continuous flow technology we have been able to leverage every dollar spent. To further streamline our operations we have continued to analyze our operating costs and make reductions whenever and wherever possible.
2020 looks to be another exciting year as we build and grow on our successes of 2019. The whole team is grateful for your continued support. The future is bright!

“This is an important milestone in consolidating and protecting our intellectual property for large scale volume synthesis of non-cadmium quantum dots,” Quantum Materials founder and CEO Stephen Squires stated. “Continuous synthesis micro-reaction technology is the solution for synthesis of high-quality nanoparticles due to the many advantages our patented process provides, including precise temperature control, mixing efficiencies, fast reaction speed and parallel operation for scalable volume production.
Quantum dots refer to one of several promising materials niche sectors that recently have emerged from the burgeoning growth area of nanotechnology. Quantum dots fall into the category of nanocrystals, which also includes quantum rods and nanowires. As a materials subset, quantum dots are characterized by particles fabricated to the smallest of dimensions from only a few atoms and upwards. At these tiny dimensions, they behave according to the rules of quantum physics, which describe the behavior of atoms and sub atomic particles, in contrast to classical physics that describes the behavior of bulk materials, or in other words, objects consisting of many atoms.
Quantum Dots measure near one billionth of an inch and are a non-traditional type of semiconductor. They can be used as an enabling material across many industries and are unparalleled in versatility and flexible in form.
These highly efficient tetrapod QD are available across the entire light wavelength from UV to IR spectra and very narrow bandwidth is common. Selectivity of arm width and length is very high allowing different characteristics to be emphasized. Capping with shells and dyes adds desired properties. A custom mixture of quantum dots tuned to optimal wavelengths is easy to create, and projects will have the advantage of unprecedented flexibility and quantities for determining the optimal quantum dot without the time, expense and poor quality of batch synthesis methods.
