There have plenty of other tech following websites that have speculated that QMC may source the iPhone 6. Why all the stir over one article. Everyone of them is speculation. They all love to speculate on Apples next big gadget. Let's just sit back and watch the show.
Great shirt, Bill. Is that what we are all wearing at the celebration party?
$3MM is what QMC said they needed for reactor orders and 2014 operating costs. It's in the quarterly statements.
But, of course, IMO, giant dots supplied by QMC providing for a greener and more self sufficient energy source.
Nice find. Another step closer to a greener planet.
If they having any consistency with the last 10Q, we should see the next in the second week of May.
I'm just looking forward to seeing the first quarter results. Let's see if any if the PR from the last three months was associated with any revenue, regardless how small.
I can put orders in through Scottrade. They must have switched from NITE. It's been fixed for weeks.
I'm with you. Cost and sale price are two very different things.
It shouldn't draw much attention. Anyone can make a price estimate. They have to prove their production methods at higher capacities to validate those prices. I've yet to see one price estimate from QMC. I believe that is because they don't want guess at costs of a process that hasn't been proven at higher production rates.
I guess you'll just have to sell a little stock after the launch and buy some higher tech TVs.
Looks as though the zero trade Friday trend is not continuing.
That must be the one.
Look at that crazy .0001 aftermarket bid.
Those were some significant trades today.
250k shares. You don't see purchases that large often.
Congrats on a couple of good picks!
I like that most of the investors here have a since of humor and some patience. Some of you have a lot of patience for the number of years invested, 2-5 years, wow. But, sometimes when you see something with potential, you have to jump in, buckle up and hope for a thrilling ride. The thrill looks to be not to far in the future.
Looking forward!
But, we're betting that this will be like a great birdie or eagle putt on the 18th hole of the final round for the win!
77k purchase. That is a substantial amount. I believe it's one of the largest blocks in weeks.
I believe samples are the only revenue, assuming they are selling them above cost.
Yes, we'll said, DD. No one here is implying, just soaking up all the new publicity for QMC whether 3rd party speculation or QMC PR. Of course, free marketing is always good. Regardless of who is announced as their first customer, things are looking up for QMC. Our investments in QMC are moving closer to paying off, IMO.
Congrats! Probably wasn't anyone who posts on this board.
So just playing off the iPhone6 info. I did a little math. From an article about Nanaco supply for a 60" display (approx. 1500 sqin), .7g of QD will support a 60" display. That's about 2100 sqin for 1 gram.
Playing with the math a bit, assume 12 sqin iPhone6 screen. 1 gram could support about 175 iPhones. Apple's total sales for all models of iPhone5 were about 100 million. A manufacturer of QD would need about 570 kg of QDs to supply Apple for total production. Of course, this is not needed all at once. QMC TQDs would use even less do to better dispersion.
According to 10Q and press releases, QMC is supposed to have a 2 kg/hour micro reactor in operation by end of 3rd quarter 2014. Assume conservatively only 8 hours of operation per day and 5 days a week (80 kg/week), QMC could supply the total sales of phones in less than 8 weeks. All I have to say is "WOW!" I thought the rumors were a bit far fetched, but who knows.
Looking forward.
DD, where did you find that comment? I was looking on QMC's LinkedIn profile and didn't see it.
We all could only hope that this bloggers speculation on QMC's position could put them upfront with such a big player.
Looking forward.
Isn't the process patented for the continuous flow technology? Sounds like they are using something similar.
Nanoco is getting some stock price target adjustments from some analysts. Looking forward to the day when QMC gets those.

Seed grants at MIT which are studying use of QD to take advantage of waste heat to make electricity.

•Evaluating quantum dots as thermoelectric materials
Thermoelectric devices can convert waste heat from car engines, power plants, and other sources directly into electricity. The best thermoelectric materials incorporate performance-enhancing nanoscale features, but fabricating them generally requires expensive methods not cost-effective at scale. As an alternative, assistant professor William Tisdale of the Department of Chemical Engineering is evaluating the thermoelectric performance capabilities of colloidal quantum dots (QDs), nanoscale semiconductor crystals whose electronic structure and behavior are defined by particle size and shape. By using novel laboratory techniques to synthesize QD materials, Tisdale will examine how surface chemistry and crystal packing affect charge and heat transport in colloidal QD materials—an understanding that will make possible enhanced thermoelectric performance and the optimization of inexpensive solution-based processes for fabrication of large-area energy conversion devices.
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140327006195/en/Research-Markets-Global-Quantum-Dots-Market-2014-2018
The analysts forecast the Global Quantum Dots market will grow at a CAGR of 69.7 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the high performance and cost benefits of quantum dots. The Global Quantum Dots market has also been witnessing the increasing adoption for optoelectronic devices. However, the high cost of quantum dots could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
The key vendors dominating this space are Evident Technologies Inc., Life Technologies Corp., Nanoco Group plc, Nanosys Inc., Ocean NanoTech LLC, and QD Vision Inc.
The other vendors mentioned in the report are Altair Nanotechnologies Inc., Ebioscience Inc., Invisage Technologies Inc., Nano Axis LLC, Nn-Labs LLC, QD Laser Inc., Quantum Material Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, Siva Power (Solexant), and Voxtel Inc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: One of the major trends observed in this market is the increasing adoption of optoelectronic devices. Quantum dots are increasingly being used in optoelectronic and optics-related devices as they have excellent optical properties. In addition, the increasing penetration of high-speed network technologies and the increasing use of technologically advanced components to achieve high bandwidth have led to an increase in the demand for quantum dots. The Optoelectronic Device Manufacturers segment is likely to remain one of the highest contributors to the market during the forecast period.
Volume appears to be drying up! Most of us hear, I believe, are long in this investment with expectations of good moves by the company this year. The stock price will need to move more than 1-2 cents to get any real volume moving.
Did you try to put an order in this afternoon? I have Scottrade. I submitted a bid about an hour ago and it was accepted.
I hope the low volume this week is indicative that most stock holders are holding for higher stock price. Looking forward to the next PR.
Looks like NITE is back or Scottrade changed MM for QTMM. My bid was finally accepted for an order.
Are you referring to those larger color gamut TQD phones? I wonder where I can find one of those?
It might just be the image on my phone, but some do appear to be emitting two colors. Look at some of the tips.
Everything I find on the web says Scottrade is one of the brokers through NITE, but they are the only one.
Looks as if the stock is still not tradeable, but it's not listed as delisted. So NITE might equal Scottrade or one broker through NITE?
Wow, he wasn't kidding about soon. My account has QTMM live for trading again. Not that I plan to sell anytime soon, but it's nice to have my account show it's true value.
Spoke with my Scottrade broker about the delist on Scottrade. He informed me that it was related to the BC news and that the restriction should be lifted soon. They are working through the confusion.
