Congrats! Let the healing begin. My biggest hope for this ticker is that it goes no bid, and there is no one left to sell their billions of shares to. With their blatant A/S increase, it will be a reality soon enough. There is no investment here.
I agree. They dropped the Comex/PPG name and the stock did absolutely nothing. What I think has happened is everyone now considers them a lying piece of you-know-what. They cried wolf so many many times, no one believes a word they say anymore. They could drop 10 names next week and no one would care. I actually laugh when I read their PR's, but then actually feel sad for the people who still believe them. An award for their scientist? Who cares! One year ago, I believed that definitely by end of 2016, they'd be at least counting SOME their revenues and off the dilution system. And yet still, we have filings that are essentially exactly the same, except for more debt. Personally, I never trusted them again after the reverse split A/S fiasco. Good luck to everyone.
Quick check in on HCTI.... annndd.. there's no revenue.
Haha, the company really seems to be pulling anything they can now.. From the PR: "has won two gold medals from the International Federation of Inventor’s Association (IFIA)." Ummm.. didn't mention when.. did he win them this year? Last year? Maybe 10 years ago? And what's the name of the award? Most awards have a name to them. Or do they just go around handing out generic "gold medals" to people. What is this, the Olympics? Another pointless PR that has no direct correlation to the immediate benefit to the company.
I sold all my shares before the RS...after it was discovered they were keeping the AS the same. I knew what was going to happen after the RS, I've seen it before, and saw it again. Poor veteran shareholders. Been still following to see if they can prove me wrong, but nothing. Was a proud long, and still know everything about this play. Maybe someday they'll right this car crash. Probably not.
Here is my **pure speculation**... take it as such. When they are done collecting all of their money from this dilution machine, and actually want to start being an honest legitimate public company, they will probably just bankrupt this debt-ridden used & abused ticker, void the licenses, and start fresh elsewhere, or heck, just stay private.
NTI has the real goods, the patents. They basically set up HCTI as an ATM machine, gave "themselves" the licenses with this company, then fixed it so they themselves are "majority shareholder" so they can basically decide whatever the heck they want. RS? Sure, no prob. Take out more notes? Hey why not? NTI can never be touched, right? It's like doing whatever you want to yourself, but never actually hurting yourself, or accepting any responsibility. Who cares what the heck happens to Hybrid, right?
The F500 contracts... who knows what the actual contract writings say. It could have tucked in provisions where all future revenue streams and business arrangements could transfer to the original patent holder (NTI) upon HCTI license termination. Again pure speculation, but I'm just trying to get inside management's mind, and think what I would do if I was behind the scenes running this circus. Haha. Sorry if I burst anyone's bubble. Just some constructive conversation.
This is not how anyone should be doing it. Nearly everyday, there are runners on the big boards that run and go up dozens of percentage points.. This ticker here is the scum of the stock market, the absolute garbage of the garbage, scam of scams. It's not about investing. The whole point about any of this is about making money. The quicker anyone leaves here, the quicker they will start making money in other opportunities.
Hammer drop. Boom.
There is no bottom.
Honestly, it's just embarrassing anymore the PR's that they put out. Can't tell us the name of the company? Ohh.. didn't see that coming. Entering into an agreement within the next 30 days? I won't hold my breath. Insert a positive, uplifting quote from Joseph... and send it to the presses. Sorry, isn't going to work anymore. Everyone and their dog knows this is a dilutive sack of potatoes. Lol.
This has become the HCTI charity fund. I think I warned about this maybe 75% ago... maybe 100%. Even still, I am horrified at the utter destruction being laid out here.
If you were a dilutive MM and a bunch of shareholders were getting pissed about dilution, what would you do? Let's see... Disappear for a bit, let it run green, make them happily think dilution was done, then drop the hammer. Well played. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
It's not really dead, just a cautious watch. The fundamental idea and product they have is brilliant, and will most likely grow in great demand in the future. Isocyanates will be phased out and disappear. It's a matter of time. However, at the current moment, you just can't win with these notes and dilution. The only way this is investor-worthy, imo, is if they cease and desist all notes, seek/acquire non-dilutive financing, and commit to both in a public PR to shareholders. Until that happens... you can make money off the quick pump and dumps, yes, but you'll never beat a dilutive MM in the end. The house always wins. Good luck to all.
Here is what's going to happen... They already got new arrivals locked into this post-RS with that lawsuit PR (means nothing, maybe we'll see a verdict in 5 years, right?). Now, through the end of the year, they'll drop more enticing PR's (like omg, PPG said they are sending a check, now we got the check, now we are cashing the check, now we are waiting for another check.. only longs will get that joke.) MM's will let it run for probably about 50% with each PR.. just enough for bagholders to get happy again and start averaging down, and to bring in more unsuspecting victims. Then the dilution hammer drops again on 2nd or 3rd day. Repeat as necessary until authorized share limit reached. Then they'll post a happy end of the year PR saying how bright everything looks ahead, and RS it in 2017 to "entice investors with a higher share price."
I haven't kept up closely with this, but I see the yearly pump is in full swing. Deja vu to last September (the longs will remember well.) Saw Mr.V on the ask. Nope, not touching it. However, I do believe the news is wonderful, and the company will eventually succeed.
I just don't understand how in the case of a public company, where stock price is highly sensitive on the decision-making, that you can allow one member to openly bash before the final vote (Pai), allow another "supposed" no-vote to "leak anonymously." Like a three-ring circus we got going on here. I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if we'll see any lawsuits if they in fact don't get approved. Most likely.
Just wanted to point this out...

Thurs, May 5th, Pai disapproves of merger

Fri, May 6th, FCC approves merger
Seem familiar? We'll see soon I guess.
The fact he puts out a "public release" of his vote, purposefully prior to the final full vote of the board, seems rather inappropriate and unprofessional (especially in the case of a public company). It's like crying and making a big commotion because you didn't get your way. (i.e. "I'll show them, I'll tell everyone I was against it before they have a chance to announce the final decision). Gimme a break.
Have you ever seen a dissent from the Supreme Court released individually prior to the full announcement of the final verdict? No. It comes with or after the final vote... you know, the professional way.
FYI: He voted no on these two issues, and both still got approved. Not sure why Pai always has to be such a buzzkill...

I lol'ed. Thanks.
If they have product moving at both F500 locations AND I.F., Q2 revs could be a massive shock. It's about time they released an update.. I was about to turn into a basher. I'm going to try and stop into the PPG store and ask for some non-isocyanate PU hardener sometime in the next few days when I'm free, and see what they say. Lol.
Patents pending have a lag time from the point of submission until the point when they become public information.

There's a PPG retail store down the street from me. Perhaps a visit may be needed...
My biggest concern would be that the diluting machine would be flipped back on post RS. We've seen what it's done here. There's no escaping its bearish wrath. We can guess and hope and speculate, but at the end of the day.. All we have to go on is past experience at the moment.
Investor confidence galore here... Another day of solid gains.
And in other news... there is no news. Another week done with no official investor PR. Radio silent for 2.5 months, besides cryptic filings, and another company advertising their product. How bizarre to say the least.
Lol.... Looks like someone googled non-isocyanate and thinks every process is competition. Big difference between lab experiments and commercially tested products. Some processes may have unfeasible rate-limiting steps or raw products that are hard to obtain/create, whereas others may use materials derived from isocyanates somewhere along the way. Then there's the tiny issue of durability and quality testing of the final product which can take months alone. Oh, and I laughed at the idea of the F500 "snag" thought.
Def14C in. Time to unleash the PR's.
Weighing risk vs. reward..? HCTI's best friend loves their product and is a $100+million/year company who is making acquisitions and widening their footprint in the coating industry. Yeah, right, I don't see any positive upside at all. Completely no benefit or reward there...
This was a warning shot. Lol. Or sorta like when they flash the lights before the show is going to begin. Now imagine when they drop quality news and you get a few dozen people trying to grab a few million each. Pennies at least (if pre-RS). Good luck.

MSDS of the Part A 2k anti-graffitii coating revised 4/11/2016.
However, the Part B's (hardener) are still the older documents... Maybe they knew our DD game was top-notch, and decided to not update the B's just yet, because it'd be a dead give-away. If there was no isocyanates in the updated Part B, Boom!
Speaking of cleaning up the books.... this last 10k's fins were audited remember. Now why in the world would they do that? :)
Boom! Seriously... Who dumped all their shares today? Are they that clueless what's really going on... Lol.
Right... Is a "product distributor"
going to travel to Indiana and Washington, all over the country, just for the heck of it in the hopes they can sell a few more buckets of coatings... or due to the fact they may own a piece of it now... Hmm.. Unless they really are that nice to help. :)
Yes, just speculation.... but... The size of the warrants elaborated on by holmes, and the amount of ownership they have offered to someone.. certainly brought me to this idea. And the only one hanging on HCTI now is IF. Sometimes the answer to a mystery is the most obvious one.
Ding ding ding... Let's speculate for a moment....HCTI becomes a subsidiary under I.F... (For those unfamiliar with the subsidiary concept, look it up.)
Makes sense, right? HCTI revolutionary product would now have access to everything it dreamed of... I.F.'s established and trusted F500 relationships, I.F.'s distribution and manufacturing networks, and more importantly, the backing of a private company with proper financing (because in fact, I.F. would own a significant portion of HCTI). HCTI surely knows it cannot do this alone, and I.F. knows this is a very special product that will bring significant income. It's a win-win for both companies.
And think about this? Do you think I.F. is intensely marketing HCTI's product, building a new web site, providing a booth at a major coatings show, talking to the EPA, out of the goodness of their heart purely as a distributor? Because it sure seems more like they are marketing and working on "their own" product. And the hiring of Pat to "explore new coatings technologies" for I.F.'s customers? Sounds like a good manager for the new HCTI subsidiary. And hey, if I.F. ever wanted to go public, they have a nice convenient shell waiting for them.
Disclaimer: This is all purely speculative and just an idea, but a very good idea that hopefully both companies explored, or are exploring, or are executing.
Awesome! Was waiting for the re-issue of these. Here comes another push by the EPA. BOOM!
Sounds like a good buyout target... Someone will want their tech.
Oh, ok. I gotcha. Thanks!
