How right you are!!!
Will do, Bill! Lol!
I'm with you SA. While some of my coworkers were "whatever" about the management announcement. I see it as a very strategic move from the business and research perspective. Likely, two if the NDAs are with these two companies and development of a product offering is nearly complete and ready to go to the market. May we see many dollar days ahead! I look forward to looking back at the progress of the company this time next year and telling those around me, "I told you so."
No argument about them looking sound. I'm just like most investors. Let's see some profits to prove the technology is marketable. Don't get me wrong, I believe we will see $5+ a share this time next year if they meet their current business plan milestones and have contracts. I've been invested for over a year now and like the progression of the company so far this year.
Sorry that you interpreted that as fear! That was not my intention. Yes, most companies take years to reach profitability. My concern is more related to missing the next couple business plan milestones. Achieving contracts and large scale production levels are the last and major milestone for QMC to become profitable. If they don't achieve that in the next year, they stand to lose out on new and emerging technologies. You and I both read the news weekly for breakthroughs in nanotechnology. When is the next big discovery going to occur? I don't know, but at the current pace of research in this sector, the next big thing could come along and trump QMC's intellectual property. Now, I am heavily invested in QMC because of their potential and the fact the are trying to keep pace with new discoveries by adding to their IP portfolio and continuing research. I expect good times ahead, but we as investors are not without some remaining risk to windfall gains. Cheers to QMC and the solid investment we hope they will become.
Dilution isn't even a concern at this point. They are not making profits that can be diluted. Yes, the increase in shares for paying debts and debentures is causing a 10-15% dilution. When QMC starts making a profit all this talk of dilution won't even matter. At that point, I would hope they could start paying cash for debts and at some future time even buy back some of outstanding shares from the open market if they were so inclined.
For the time being, the only concern that should bother us is whether they can sustain business until they get contracts and full production on line. Without that, this stock will be worthless by this time next year especially if they miss their business plan goals again.
Nice links, DD. Now if they can just get all that research and development into the marketplace. I'm looking forward to what the next three months might bring. GLTA.
John Heaton form 3 posted to SEC today.
Look up their quarterly and yearly reports from this past year. The NDA info is listed there, but companies have not been disclosed yet.
Yes, the shorts made their play last week and we are stable just slightly higher than the $0.28 stability value a couple weeks ago. Slow and steady until that contract PR arrives.
Back to no volume Fridays! At least it's at $.30 instead of $.06.

Ditto. He's a science guy. Let him do what he does best and let the businessmen or women handle the business side.
We are hoping they will make it rain. Their production process and tetrapods qdot design seem to put them well ahead of the competition. We are just hoping that the technical advantages are realized soon in actual sales contracts. If this occurs, the SP and company will be in the black very quickly with QMC capturing a large portion of the qdot market for the next couple of years until competitors catch up.
I'm not going to disagree with you on the $5.00. If they get contracts and increased capacity online in 2015, $5 per share is a low valuation.
Or they hope to pump it up to get new buyers, escalate SP again, and unload their $.30 shares.
No doubt! Even they must know this has likely significant upside. Someone stands to gain something from the promo.
It appears Nanosys is taking root in the industry for displays.

To continue my education:
Reporting Requirements
The requirements for reporting changes in beneficial ownership have been dramatically streamlined, with reporting no longer required for the following transactions.
¦ Transactions under tax-conditioned plans (except discretionary transactions).
¦ Transactions pursuant to dividend reinvestment plans, interest reinvestment plans, and domestic relations orders.
¦ Transactions, other than the exercise of stock options or other derivative securities, that change only the form of beneficial ownership.
¦ Expirations and cancellations of derivative securities where no value is received.
¦ Spin-off transactions in which equity securities of a different company are distributed to insiders of the company.
Stock option exercises and nonexempt transactions are reported on Form 4, “Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership.” All other exempt transactions are reported on Form 5, “Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership.”
Form 4—Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities
An insider is required to file the Form 4 for all transactions in company stock (except small acquisitions that met specified conditions and most transactions exempted from Section 16 short-swing profit recovery) by the end of the second business day following the day the transaction is executed (the “two-day reporting rule”). Examples of transactions that are required to be reported on Form 4 are open-market purchases and sales of company stock. Also, stock option exercises, although exempt from Section 16 short-swing profit recovery, are required to be reported on Form 4.
There are two very limited exceptions to the two-day reporting rule. If one of the two exceptions is satisfied, the transaction must be reported within five days of the date of the transaction. Basically, the executing broker, dealer, or plan administrator has a maximum of three days to notify the insider.
Form 5—Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities
Transactions between the company and an insider that are exempt from short-swing profit recovery under Rule 16b-3 and that were previously reported on Form 5, must now be reported on Form 4 according to the two-day reporting rule. Under Rule 16b-3, if certain requirements are satisfied, there are three exemptions where the required reporting was on the Form 5. These three exemptions are discretionary transactions, grants, awards, and other acquisitions from the company, and dispositions to the company.

Looks as though that reporting may not be required if it's not a sale until end of the fiscal year, 45 days after end of fiscal year to be exact. This would be explain the July 15 filing for Mr. Martin.
To answer my own question, but I don't know the exemptions mentioned below.
Corporate insiders – meaning a company's officers and directors, and any beneficial owners of more than ten percent of a class of the company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 – must file with the SEC a statement of ownership regarding those securities. On August 27, 2002, the SEC adopted rules and amendments to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, implementing the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that accelerated the deadline for filing most insider ownership reports.
The initial filing is on Form 3. An insider of an issuer that is registering equity securities for the first time under Section 12 of the Exchange Act must file this Form no later than the effective date of the registration statement. If the issuer is already registered under Section 12, the insider must file a Form 3 within ten days of becoming an officer, director, or beneficial owner.
Changes in ownership are reported on Form 4 and must be reported to the SEC within two business days. You can find the limited categories of transactions not subject to the two-day reporting requirement in the new rule.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/form345.htm
Question for the regulation knowledgable:
Don't board members get compensated for serving as a director? If so, wouldn't we likely see a SEC filing for insider trades if they were paid with stock?
It seems all employees have been paid with stock up to this point. If no filing is made, does that mean QMC is paying cash compensation?
If cash compensation, does that mean QMC is making revenue?
Just some thoughts from a speculative mind. I'm assuming if QMC has contracts that they are under a NDA until the purchasing company announces a new product.
Hawk, were else have they been semi related?
That would go to say only a few are playing the short game at these low share prices. Just need the volume to be bought out again by longer positions and another run up will likely occur with no news.
I think the PR update was a conservative statement. It was something to the effect: 4 times production by January 2015. I don't know that this generality trumps the 10Q business plan. Considering the larger reactor should be producing 2kg/hr per 10Q which is more than 4 times the 250 g/hr current production.
Larger reactor is scheduled for this quarter with full production by quarter 4 according to 10Q. I'm guessing they are ahead of schedule also.
"One continuous-flow microreactor can produce 100 kg of highly
uniform tetrapod quantum dots per day, or around 30,000kg per year. Assuming a design that coats the entire display surface with QD film, this is enough to create approximately 10 million QD-LED TVs, outpacing projected market demand over the next few years." —David Doderer, Vice President for Research & Development

Cash in! Enjoy you're short gains. Apparently you've earned them.
The shorts are still in control right now while us longs watch the daily roller coaster ride. We'll have are day in the sun soon!
Use any marketing advantage you can!
Someday in the next 3 months, we'll be chatting about how QTMM was stalled around $0.06 for so long and then how it stalled in the $0.30s. The 30s, 40s, and 50s cent ranges will be a thing of the past.
Looking forward to that sales PR!
Just another building block to a successful startup company. Hoping for success in the not to distant future! GLTA!
My thoughts as well. This could be a lucrative merging of technologies. Maybe they'll be able to turn nearly any surface into a solar panel? I'm not that keen on solar panel design or thermal affects for solar radiation absorption into various materials.

Digging a bit deeper, Advenira also does solar panel coatings. Yet another marriage of technologies possible. Who said this news was all fluff? I think was the marriage announcement!
http://advenira.com/applications-photovoltaic-panels.html
I haven't dug deep enough yet, but it would appear that Advenira may have patents for film technologies since that is one of their products. Can we see a merging of Qdots onto their film for sales in the display sector? Why, yes we can!

Mr. John Henton's company, Advenira.
http://advenira.com/
Now this is a good company to partner. They appear to already be selling prodcuts in several applications that can use Qdots.
It's fluffy, but substantial info on the companies strategy to penetrate the market and grow their business connections.
