Care to explain to us unknowing westerners how you square your "We in the West cannot fully understand many of the ways of the East regarding tradition, the honor of one's word, the respect for elders, both in the home and in business, and the cooperation that comes from united purpose" comment with the innumerable cases of patent infringement from China.
From industryweek last year: "At FBI headquarters in July, the head of FBI counterintelligence, Randall Coleman, said there has been a 53% increase in the theft of American trade secrets, thefts that have cost hundreds of billions of dollars in the past year. In an FBI survey of 165 private companies, half of them said they were victims of economic espionage or theft of trade secrets — 95% of those cases involved individuals associated with the Chinese government."
Apparently you can wait because you've been here almost a decade already.
"The great thing QMC is actually doing is continually upgrading their "dots" during this period which major OEM's are deciding whose QD's are best for their Displays, Lighting etc.. "
The not so great thing is their failure to get anyone to use their product commercially.
I know, I know, standards keep changing and we will soon be bigger than Enron (sorry, Intel). The thing is I'll bet you if nothing changes for the next year the very same people here saying sales are just around the corner will still be saying it.
Like they were last year.....
And the year before that........
And the years before that..........
Actually as usual your data is wrong. Intel never traded at 33 cents. It IPO'd in the 1970's at $23.50 a share and was over $50 when you claim it was 33 cents. You are giving out a price adjusted for numerous splits.
You've been predicting that reversal for months as the stock has lost 33% of it's value. Do you ever tire of posting that drivel??
Don't know the source but if it's going by the usual rating an upgrade from 1 to 3 would be an upgrade from strong sell to hold. Usually goes strong sell, sell, hold, buy and strong buy on a 1 to 5 scale.
Looking at their similar putrid charts, one gets the feeling the public doubts the future of either QTMM or Nanoco.

Yesterdays new is not puzzling, it was a patent application that referred to an iPhone 5S as an example. In no way did it mean Apple and BOE have come to any agreement. Apple has been taking out patents relating to OLEDs for a decade, yet their first oled device is still a couple months out and Jobs said in his last few years that Apple would never use oleds.. Patents are for "what if" situations, most never get used or referred to again.
"Apple is switching its supplier of OLED display panel to BOE "
That is 100% false.
Apple had discussions 6 months ago with BOE about giving BOE a part of Apple's panel order, and nothing has been heard about it since.
In the past 2 weeks reports have surfaced in numerous places that Apple has invested over 2 billion dollars with LG to make oled panels for them. If Apple is "switching to BOE", why are they giving LG 2 billion dollars?? Japan Display is also trying to get part of the business and most reports indicate Samsung will maintain a major supplier.
Those articles both mention the February report which I cited, the only other info is about a BOE patent which mentions a fingerprint device on a 3 year old iphone. Again, there is no info in it stating that Apple has any plans to shift ANY, let alone all, production to BOE.
LOL, FREE was predicting this 8 years ago, we see how good those predictions have been. I'm sure the holders of OLED are quaking in their boots all the way to the bank.
There is one note in that opinion piece that makes me question the knowledge of the writer. He wrote:
"Why does that matter for Universal Display Corporation bulls? While there's no true quantum dot display technology on the market today, Samsung Display has already seen the writing on the wall. It announced that it will no longer incorporate OLED displays in 2017 model TVs. Instead, the company will offer TVs with quantum dot light emitting diode, or QLED, displays -- a technology it's developing in-house. "
Samsung has not made OLED TV's for years, they didn't stop in 2017 because they "saw the writing on the wall". At the same time they continue to pour hundreds of millions into small OLED fab facilities. Those investments and the investments by LG, Apple and others into OLED fabrication mean it's not going anywhere for a while.
I can safely predict we are within 9 and a half cents of the bottom.
The long term charts for this and NANO continue to be amazingly similar and ugly.
Don't expect any news now, I was told here 5 or 6 years ago that everyone takes the summer off and everything gets announced after Labor Day.
Of course after Labor Day we were told that Xmas is right around the corner and the announcements will come after the new year.
Then after the new year it was all the new products are already out, we will announce something in early summer........
Did you just copy and paste this from something you wrote in 2012?
And 2013?
And 2014?
And 2015?
And 2016?
You've been expecting great things in the 2nd half of the year for over half a decade
As I stated, in that post you admitted this was high risk, but many others and you in many of your posts treat this as a sure thing. Do I have to remind you of the posts by others here calling this "safer than the Dow" and "like a mutual fund". (and those posts started when the Dow was maybe 50% lower than it is right now)
My fear would be that Freschfield's list, which has been taken down I believe, is a lot like that list Clay showed in has last PR, a totally random dream list that has nothing to do with current reality. It has to be a bit of a red flag that more than half the links that come up when one searches for Freschfield come back to one of our message boards, does it not??
This one was always a long shot. Two companies, neither with a track record or revenues, putting out a press release about a million dollar deal. Usually when that happens nothing is ever heard of the deal again and it just fades away.
I've heard that actual sales effect profit margin so i'll guess Nanosys.
Besides, every single time QTMM so much as hires a student tech, it gets heralded here as a sign of impending sales, yet the fact that the other companies have larger rosters is a sign of our greatness??? Could it have something to do with those companies having sales and real R&D budgets??
You've been saying oled is dead for 5+ years. Free was saying sell OLED when it was in the single digits and he was pumping QTMM there when this was a dime. Now OLED is $100+, we are still near a dime, Apple is going with OLED with the next iphone and we are still without a customer. Yet you claim the future trend is away from oleds?
I don't know if oleds will ever be cost effective with large screens, but they will dominate the small screen space. I know many here scoff at it, but the next generation of phones will have bendable and or foldable screens, and that's OLED. BOE (I believe I've seen that name here a time or 2) is putting over 10 billion dollars into small and large screen OLED fab plants and TV development. That's Billion with a "B". Somehow I'm having a hard time understanding how a 20 million dollar investment that maybe this year or maybe next year is proof for QTMM but a 10 billion dollar investment isn't proof in the future of oleds.
Give it up. I've heard from some very reputable people that OLED is dead and QTMM is the future. So what if the market doesn't quite understand that and has OLED at $125 a share while we are at 11 cents. We have the dream team on our side.
The "Posner Effect" is a boogeyman created by this board to explain the reason the share price is falling. It goes back several years. The thinking is that the father was a forward thinking genius who invested in QTMM early and when he died the sons who are living off the trust just sell for "beer money," not knowing or caring what QTMM will be, thus causing the price to fall. There is zero evidence of this being true, but every time the share price falls the "posner effect" gets mentioned.
Not that it matters on this board, but you do realize that link is 14 months old I hope.
I can't say what you should do, but this move to me is no surprise. A month ago I posted here (and was of course attacked by J and others) that the Delaware move and the stock plan had to have been Linderg's since Sri had no background in financials so it clearly wasn't his, thus his leaving makes sense. I'm not sure it says anything more about the state of the company.
It is interesting how QTMM has adopted the Washington policy for bad news. Every time something negative comes out lately it's after 4 on a Friday.
How am I in any way passing judgement on what's going on behind the scenes?? I'm replying to the multiple posts this afternoon attacking me for thinking QTMM might be in need of money.
LOL
Catch this little tidbit out of today's news?
" Quantum shall pay Lindberg unpaid wages of $30,000 (the “Unpaid Wages”) as soon as Quantum is financially able to make payment "
Luckily we have the Chinese on speed dial, huh.
Oh sorry, i thought there was another line in there about those funds being needed to build facilities. I'm sure they won't mind postponing building to lend QTMM some money.
Sorry, I didn't even see you had posted any BOE info for me to reply to since your post was removed. I only posted the BOE OLED info in response to a 12 year old news link that was posted. I have no doubt BOE is building a large a LCD plant. They are also pouring billions into OLEDS. I've said here more than once that I have grave doubts about the future of large form factor oleds unless the costs are reduced, yet companies continue to investment more and more into them.
May I ask where you have seen the books for QTMM Asia since you know there is money there? Perhaps you may want to inform SS of this since now they won't have to raise funds by selling additional shares at 12 cents or higher.
No doubt the BOE note was left in there tactically, The question is what is the tactic. SS et al. have to raise the share price to attract more funding, and a name drop or too allows others to pump away.
You are posting a 12 year old news report????
How about these as things a bit more pertinent

Intel was never at 3 cents. It was never a penny stock. It came out at an IPO price of $23.50. When complete falsehoods like that are posted it brings credibility into question.
I think he got that info from the same people who told you it was day traders doing all the selling holding the price back.
The finale looks better because of the tape painting. We were trading with a bid of 7.6 and an ask of 8 since 1pm est, then at 359 the ask is raised to 8.5 and a sale of 100 shares at the ask of 8.5 goes through at 4pm to make the finish look better.
We are green because everyday this week someone paints the tape with the last sale at the ask. Whomever here is doing so, thanks
Would you please quit bringing facts in to spoil the dreams. We have the 12 million dollar loan, not that we will ever need it since we also have 20 million from the China deal.
They've been playing that "game" for 2 years, I've seen people thanking people for "cheap" shares all the way down from 45 cents. Except none of those shares look cheap now. Just a day or two ago people here were boasting of the wall protecting it from falling below 7, of course that same wall protected it from falling to 8 and 9 too.
As I've said before, a bounce may come, but for 2 years we continue to see lower lows and lower highs with each move.
Another perfect example of QTMM uber alles.
When Stott was brought on, he was a pioneering genius and proof of the greatness of QTMM. When he leaves, no one will hire him.
Dr Glass was a genius who would lead us to the promised land. When he left he was a do nothing.
When Sri came here he was a voice of truth who was an icon in the industry. When he left he was a schemer full of financial intrigues.
QTMM QTMM uber alles.
Exactly.
Last week we had people here claiming to want to buy all the stock that was "given away" in the sevens and eights. Apparently they ran out of money as did the buyers earlier who happily bought all they could at 10 cents, 12 cents, 15 cents and 20 cents. If there is one thing history is pretty clear on, it's that the buyers run out of money here before the sellers run out of stock to sell.
Look at the charts. It held at 10 cents and we repeatedly heard that's our resistance until it no longer was. We heard the same thing at 12 cents, 15 cents and 20. Hell, I can show you posts of people here congratulating others of the stock they stole at 40 cents. Resistance is resistance until it no longer is. The only thing the chart of this stock will show you is continuous lower highers and lower lows for the past 2 years. It sometimes bounces, but then falls back lower.
But don't listen to me, I must be one of those wolves you speak of, LOL. Any wolf buying this stock for the the past 2 years should have his head examined.
No, the demise of QD Vision was because of the lawsuit brought by Nanosys. More than one expert questioned the lawsuit because of the extreme costs both would face pursuing it. Nanosys went forward with it anyway and QD Vision threw in the towel. The fact that Samsung who happens to be the major customer of Nanosys later bought major parts of QD Vision makes me go hmmmmm about the whole lawsuit.
The problem is that it's like the boy who cried wolf, there comes a point where you just stop believing. Remember last year when SS left the board, the spin here was that he left so we would have a truly independent board for the Nasdaq. I can find you 20+ posts citing that as the reasoning. Now not only does SS come back, but he puts his son on the board, yet i have not heard any questions about what happened to our independent board.
