Still long ITKG. Looking forward with some interest to the Seeking Alpha article. I hope all the longs are doing well.
GK
CML, that is simply amazing. Thanks for taking the initiative to "fact check" the self-appointed fact checker.
So . . . they didn't "buy" their invitation and simply appeared on their radar by some sort of quantitative evidence -- correct?
Good job!
GK
Good find, Hoosier!
I'm surprised there wasn't more discussion about this. As best as I can tell this wasn't a paid promo, so what would prompt MDBC to include Integral in their list? Could it be that there really is something "disruptive" about EP after all?

GK
Integral Technologies (IT), Inc. (Bellingham, WA) has a technology that is more on the brink currently; a pellet created from a proprietary blend of conductive polymers.
Development actually began when the company was contracted to come up with a flat panel antenna system for satellite tracking, which also needed a plastic bottom side that could carry an electric charge. No major company had such a material available.
“Conducting our own experiments, we came up with a mixture that worked,” Bill Robinson, CEO says. “We developed a pellet that could be injection moulded into a three dimensional shape or be extruded. It was also ideal for the bottom plate of a solar panel.”
Robinson says that the material is right for both c-Si an TFPV. In the thin-film area when two plates of glass are used, this can effectively replace the bottom plate. For crystalline silicon, he sees the material replacing the aluminium used to put solar panels together. “ElectriPlast has efficiencies similar to current materials, but is far less expensive,” he says.
The company currently has the capacity to manufacture up to 50,000 lbs of material a month. Robinson says that they will soon be targeting solar PV, and want to get involved and work with customers hands-on.

Be careful there, hoosier. The next thing you know someone will be counting the number of times you and some of the other longs post in relation to a PR and will try to make some kind of correlation between that and a pump. Oops! haha

GK
Hoosier,
I was told it was deleted due to an off-topic comment. I had to read thru it 2-3 times to find an off-handed comment that must have been what they were referring to. I can be a little dense at times, so it must just be me.
I don't follow the MM's too closely and only know enough about technicals to be dangerous, so I'm afraid I can be of little help in answering your question.
Sorry for the slow response to your post . . . it's been a tough day.
I owe marsred some sort of response as well. I can appreciate his questions . . . he's just keeping it real. But, I really have to wonder, "between his fixation on the rearview mirror and mine on the crystal ball, will we both end up in a ditch?" haha
Thanks again for all your commentary. I hope to see you continue.
regards,
GK
marsred, I'm sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying. No harm intended.
I actually agree with you about the test data. The main thing it seems to do for most (here anyway) is provide fodder for conversation. Its primary value should be to those interested parties in whatever particular application it involves.
For now, at least, contracts are the great divide (chasm) we argue across. I suppose it will remain that way.
Have a good evening.
GK out . . .
marsred, you should have been a dancer.
The lack of a contract makes test results "obscure?" Does that make any sense at all? Honestly?
As far as a SH meeting goes, I'm confident that's an area he'll deliver on. I'm curious though as to why would you be clamoring for a SH meeting "where the shareholders actually get to participate by asking questions," when you won't even pick up the phone and call the very same guy who would be participating in it?
Oops! Dropped my crystal ball! Do you have one I could borrow? On second thought no need . . . the picture has become quite clear.
regards,
GK
For all newbies out there:
If you're interested in sifting thru the fluff / noise on this site, I'd suggest you peruse Hoosier06's posts of the past few days. He does a good job of making "point / counterpoint" arguments which I believe you'll find of inestimable value.
regards,
GK
Boomer, I'll echo your sentiments about transparency. Doug B. is driving that change in a big way and the company as a whole will be the better for it.
A buck!
Closing at a buck and the high of the day on above average volume isn't too shabby!
marsred, you know I'm a "fan" of yours in a strange, contrarian sort of way . . . mainly because you (for the most part) at least try to use facts to back up your arguments. Help me understand why you would now argue that the test results are "A compilation of obscure data whose value is meaningless to most," when you have been one of the more vocal ones about their absence (prior to yesterday)? What is lacking that would make them more beneficial . . . keeping in mind the primary targeted audience for them?
regards,
GK
Could a revamped website be next?
Hoosier, you've left them speechless. (EOM)
How the game is played . . .
You guys are too much. Another poster said your responses were predictable, or something to that affect, and I'd have to agree.
Let me see if I understand how this game is played:
* The stock declines a couple of days and it's, "Sell! Sell! Get out while you can!"
* The stock is on a trend line up and that means the pump is on and you should get out while you can!
* Bill puts out an update on the company and that can only mean the pump is on!
* Forward looking statements mean there is no accountability and the pump is on!
* There is no evidence of independent test results and that means there is nothing of substance to test and EP is not legit.
* The first of several supposed independent test results is released and that can only mean the pump is on.
* Test results are released with legalese at the end and that can only mean the tests are not legit (and, oh yeah . . . the pump is on!).
* There are currently no contracts and that can only mean no one wants to use it.
* When contracts are announced that can only mean it's too little, too late after years of their absence and can only mean the pump is on?
* Since I am trying to understand if this really is the way the game is played, I'm sure that can only mean the pump is on!
It's almost like you've never invested in the markets, nor read a legal document.
GK
Don't sweat it, CML. He's got nothing. (EOM)
Hoosier,
Thanks for your reply. BOD? Hey, if you're going to dream, dream big! haha
I just saw this on our "old" web site:
http://www.itkg.net/index.php/electriplast/test-data
How cool is that?
regards,
GK
Hello Mr. Sputnik,
You are correct in that, test results have proven to be quite elusive over the years and have been talked about on more than one occasion. No argument from me on that fact.
All that being said, does it really make any difference to you one way or the other if they finally do publish them?
regards,
GK
Thanks for following up and reporting on the many errors of his post, hoosier.
What are your thoughts about the "new" website? How do you envision it being different from what they currently have in place?
regards,
GK
Hoosier, you nailed it pretty well. And here we sit with just slightly more than 50mm shares outstanding and a market cap of $37mm +/-. Something just doesn't quite add up here. Maybe he can help us figure it out. haha
regards,
GK
Hoosier,
Thanks for "putting it out there" by asking your questions in post 4008, as well as those in the post prior to it. I wouldn't, however, expect any meaningful replies from that particular poster -- just more of the same clap-trap we've seen repeated over and over again.
I particularly liked this question you asked: "Why are you and your type so unsuccessful at finishing off what you claim to be a company without any future?"
Although there are several variations of it, I was reminded of Twain's famous quote, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated," when I read your rather pointed question.
Integral, or some form of it, will be around long after he is long gone. Of course, by then, we probably will have traded him in for a newer version. haha
regards,
GK
He rarely posts here, but the poster known as 2x2 is among the best I've seen at conveying his doubts and concerns about Integral Technologies and ElectriPlast -- he sticks with the facts and is a gentleman at doing so. You can find him on another board if you're interested.
GK
Good find, boomer. Thanks! (eom)
Sorry, nysepick - I couldn't find that in iHub's user agreement. Besides - I tend to dismiss most outliers as noise and therefore illegitimate. If not illegitimate, then at the very least, of little consequence.
Like I mentioned to CML in an earlier post, I am not particularly interested in "having the last laugh" or seeing anyone eat crow - seeing EP commercialized will be victory enough -- and then some!
The last I heard there were roughly 5k shareholders. It is satisfying to know that you and many, many others will be with me to see that day arrive. Now that will be worthy of a celebration!
regards,
GK
Thanks, CML. I am not particularly interested in having the "last laugh," although it would be particularly rewarding to see EP finally get off the ground and become a recognized player in the burgeoning conductive polymer field. It is in its infancy and we are well-positioned to capitalize on some real, world-wide needs.
Thanks again,
GK
qlt / marsred: I started to say it sounds like we have reached some sort of agreement here, but that would probably be an overly-optimistic view of things. Perhaps detente is closer to it. Regardless, I hope you gentlemen have a great afternoon.
GK
qlt,
I don't remember ever asking to have a debate with you about ITKG, nor do I feel compelled to respond to baited questions (by you or any one else) whose only design is to gender strife -- all the pharisaical clamoring about being seekers of truth notwithstanding.
If you choose not to invest because you don't have enough facts after all your years of DD, fine. That would seem to be the most logical course of action.
You doubt there is any substance to this company? Fine. That's your prerogative.
What you choose to do or not do is, quite frankly, of little consequence or import to me. Conversely, I fail to see why you are so obsessed with what others may choose to do or not do and their reasons for the same.
I am unapologetically long this stock and continue to accumulate on the dips with the firm reasoned-belief it will eventually prove to be a savvy investment decision. My time horizon is not measured in days or weeks, but ultimately in months and yes, years.
GK
"That is honest objectivity by investors seeking truth and reality."
Uhmmmmmmmm....and what, pray-tell, will you do with that "truth" once you find it? And you're looking for it on a message board? That's rich.
The truth squad?
Carry on, soldier!
GK
changemyluck,
Unfortunately his response could be viewed as a microcosm of our society in general: complaining when things aren't handed to them on a silver platter; complaining when others don't live up to their expectations; complaining about some slight they believe they have suffered in the distant past; expecting something for nothing. Very few want to work for anything any more . . . and personal responsibility / accountability are a thing of the past. We're living in a "me first" society and I fear our country is doomed.
GK
qlt,
Good evening. Do yourself a favor and call Jasper Rubber; ask for Adam. He should be able to give you a reasonable explanation about the seeming "delay" in publishing the test results. That's about the best I can do for you.
regards,
GK
Boomer . . .
To the best of my knowledge he is in no way connected to Integral. This story first surfaced on another board, then someone here picked it up. Some have tried to draw comparisons between Stanfield and Robinson, or rather, Stanfield's companies and Integral Technologies. Me? I just find it interesting.
regards,
GK
Boomer . . .
It doesn't look like Stanfield is going anywhere.

A most excellent find, nysepick! (eom)
Boomer said, "Those PRS reflect sadly on the management. other than that every night i kneel down and pray for Jasper to do us good. lol"
You aren't alone in those thoughts. . . . especially the part about Jasper.
Boomer,
An increase in price and volume generally precedes news . . . or at least that's what I'm hoping. haha
regards,
GK
Boomer, it's hard to argue with the fact that this stock has been a real snoozer.
What do you make of the increase in volume the past few days -- anything?
regards,
GK
nysepick,
I hope your summer is off to a grand start!
Do you think it's possible that instead of the "summer doldrums" we've encountered during so many summers past (or winters, springs and falls for that matter. haha), that this one could actually be different?
Talk soon,
GK
Hello, Boomer
If you are able to come up with an answer to that question you'll let us know, won't you? We're way past due, that's for sure.
regards,
GK
nysepick,
Thanks for the valiant effort to engage others in some sort of dialogue here. I have little doubt that once this company starts showing more signs-of-life, all those now sitting on the side lines will reengage in more fruitful discussions.
regards,
GK
Vancop,
Unfortunately it was a regurgitated piece from a couple of months ago. I'm not sure what that was all about.
Volume was a little better today, but still. . . .29 cents is not much to write home about.
