I asked Tom Scarpa Exec. Vice Pres. of Natcore via e-mail about a week and half ago about the how things were going with finalizing the agreement the the Chinese companies, and he replied they were still working on structuring the agreement in the best interests of the company and it's shareholders.
I sure like the way Natcore has been holding up on a big down day on the stock markets. I can't wait to see the share price reaction to more good news from the company

Still A Good Time To Buy!!
It is by no means to late to buy Natcore or add to one's position. In fact the good news that the company has released lately, makes it even far less of a speculation.
I urge those who hold NXT to resist the temptation to trade, don't tempt faith and take the chance of missing out on the truly spectacular gains I feel very strongly are ahead in Natcore.
adama4 I am a very successful stock market investor ( infact it is the business I am in ). Natcore is a stock that comes up only a few times in one's investment career, you would be wise to add to your position. In the future current prices will be look upon as a very cheap entry point.
Solar Energy a Hot New Harvest
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/solar-energy-a-hot-new-harvest/article1542027/
A report from Canaccord Capital :
Shares of Natcore Technology NTCXF, the junior company hoping to bridge the economic gap between solar power and conventional energy production – an achievement that represents the "Holy Grail" of the alternative energy industry, jumped after announcing that it has shipped sample wafers demonstrating the unique advantages of its Liquid Phase Deposition (LPD) process to potential customers in the solar industry.
The company also reported that its program at Rice University has achieved a significant milestone, having successfully manufactured silicon nanocrystals (quantum dots) of sufficient quality and suitable characteristics for use in its tandem solar cell research. This is an important advance toward the company's goal of developing low-cost, super-efficient silicon cells with efficiencies of over 30%, or about twice the power output of today's most efficient mass-produced solar cells.
Two other accomplishments highlighted in Thursday's press release included: i) Natcore's team at Nanotech West at the Ohio State University (OSU) has performed a series of process improvement experiments over the past three months, in anticipation of transferring the process to the "Natcore China" joint venture company.
This is a very important step in the company's plan, as it will allow the team in China to come quickly up to speed in exactly replicating the process developed at OSU; ii) Natcore's team has developed a prototype engineering design for the scaled process at the Natcore China JV, and begun design of an automated, manufacturing-scale system; and iii) Natcore's program at Rice University has achieved a significant milestone, having successfully manufactured silicon nanocrystals of sufficient quality and suitable characteristics for use in its tandem solar cell research. This is an important advance toward the company's goal of developing low-cost, super-efficient silicon cells with efficiencies of over 30%, or about twice the power output of today's most efficient mass-produced solar cells
Natcore surges to as high as CA$1.03 today on heavy volume.
In a few months we will all look back at today's price as being a cheap entry point for Natcore. This stock over time is going much, much higher!!
adama4 don't you thing it is about time we should see Natcore making such a move considering all the good news.

Great Article On Natcore:
Natcore Technology Illuminates A Sustainable Solar Future
By: Jonathan T. Orr
As the developed and developing worlds work urgently toward a globally sustainable energy future for all mankind, the all too human tendency toward ‘magical thinking’ becomes very dangerous in our pursuit of answers. We will never again be able to rely on one source of energy such as fossil fuels to power our relentless expansion and indeed our core civilizing concepts of progress and human development will need to be drastically re-thought and revised if we are to have a future at all. In a world more deeply interconnected economically, technologically and socially than at any other point in human history,any bright future we might conjure for ourselves will be one based on a patient, broad and deep set of strategies and techniques pursued over time.
Any feasible future global energy solutions will be developed through the pursuit of a combination of renewable energy sources and new technologies such as solar power, wind energy, hydroelectric power and others yet to be discovered, rather than the one hoped for new energy source or wondrous breakthrough.
However, many of these alternative energy sources and solar power in particular face one very daunting fact: as the present technology stands it requires massive and politically unpalatable government subsidies to make solar cost-competitive with conventional power.
Natcore Solar (NXT.V) are in the market prove this wrong.
Breakthrough Process Creates Hyper Efficient Solar Cells
Speaking as boldly as the sun itself, Brien Lundin Chairman and Director, says of the company's breakthrough process for the manufacture of solar cells, that it will “ ...will make solar power cost competitive with conventional power”.
Natcore Solar believes that with its exclusive thin film technology applied to the manufacture of super efficient silicon solar cells, it will be able to soon close the economic gap between solar power and conventional energy production and allow solar to become a completely viable and central part of our sustainable energy mix. To say nothing of increasingly profitable.
Within the prism of glittering possibilities for alternative energy, solar power is seen as the energy source with the most potential and as the one most fraught with economic and technological challenges. There it is in the sky everyday, heating our world day in and day out over millennia, but how to capture that evanescent ray of light and harness its vast power in a financially feasible way? Solar unarguably provides clean and abundant energy; we can all agree that we will never face the calamity of Peak Solar. In discussions of Solar energy the word that most often ends up in article headlines is Viability.
With current cell manufacturing technique solar power cannot yet compete with conventional power economically. With solar energy the challenge is different than with fossil fuels and other traditional power sources: the usual questions of a reliable source to not enter into the equation, what is required is simply to make it cost far less to produce. This is precisely the aim of Natcore and it's pursuit of thin-film growth technology.
The Holy Grail Of Solar Power
Within the solar power industry there exist a myriad of approaches and techniques being applied to achieve this goal, many of which are guilty of the same kind of wishful thinking found in the conventional energy world. Many companies are trying to create a total solution and a perfected process when what is really required to make solar energy viable as soon as possible are more focused achievements such as improving the conversion efficiencies of silicon cells while lowering their manufacturing costs and investing in practical refinements to already existing technologies.
This is the strategy Natcore Technology has been employing for sometime.
Natcore Technology is the sole licensee of a remarkable new thin-film growth technology from Rice University that may yield very significant improvements in costs and efficiencies in silicon wafer manufacturing, the building blocks of all solar power systems. Natcore’s liquid phase deposition technology will enable the solar cell industry to reduce silicon wafer thicknesses by up to two-thirds, which in turn will vastly improve output efficiencies and expand profit margins.
As explained by Natcore’s science team:
Silicon dioxide, or silica, is a fundamental building block in semiconductors, fiber optics and solar cells. It is an absolutely essential element in all these applications, and it is currently deposited onto silicon through a process called “Thermal Oxide Growth.” This process uses complicated, multi-million-dollar furnaces, operating in a vacuum and at temperatures of up to 1,000º Celsius (1,800º Fahrenheit), to grow the necessary thin films of silicon dioxide. In contrast, Natcore’s “Liquid Phase Deposition” (LPD) process simply grows these thin films of silicon dioxide in mild chemical baths using standard, low-cost equipment. Because Natcore’s process is so mild, it allows for much thinner silicon wafers, as well as the development of advanced materials and devices that would be destroyed during the standard Thermal Oxide Growth process.
Natcore’s LPD process has been independently tested and verified by one of America’s most respected laboratories and is ready to be used today in the manufacturing of highly efficient new solar cells, semiconductor devices, optical and optoelectronic components, prescriptive and protective eye wear, and energy-saving architectural coatings, among many other uses.
While the science behind solar energy is as necessarily complex as the sun itself, the market potential of Natcore’s unique ability to create super thin silicon wafers for commercial application is as clear the light our star produces.
With a conventional non-tandem cell costing approximately $540 to manufacture, Natcore's hyper efficient tandem technology can instantly double the efficiency and profitability of that cell. As Mr. Provini points out, with the aim of claiming a 10 percent market share every year for the licensing of this exclusive process, the company would stand to make an average of 500 million dollars per year in royalty revenue. Mr. Provini spoke to us with excitment and confidence about an going series of announcements from their Tandem Cell Research Program that will soon confirm the viability of this technology.
Bright investors will take this chance to invest in the illumination of a truly sustainable solar energy future.

Natcore is unique in it's technology:
Even though other companies are developing new solar technologies. These technologies will not affect the industry for a number of years.
Natcore is unique in that it's technology can be utilzed in existing solar panel factories, and that is what the solar companies are looking for.

Something to consider:
This is an audio report I suggest you to listen to. I think after you have listened to it, you will agree Natcore Technology NTCXF is a solar stock that should be a serious consideration to add to one's portfolio. Today it has had a good move on some news from the company that is in the second link even so the O/S is only 24.6 million shares and I feel it has much more to go..

Great news!!
I am having problems with getting on BSEG's Investors Forum, has anyone else been able to get on?
BSEG Conference call in late Oct. or Nov. Delay being caused by pending deals not expected to be completed till then. Words to this effect were posted on their Forum.
You can see they are trying to develop a business model that is successful in their industry.
I see BSEG posted on the forum yesterday, but did not post my guestion about the conference call. "Oh Well" their choice, no concern to me. I have more important things to do.
I do not doubt the dedication of the management to BSEG but I do find the slownest or lack of follow through on their annoucements disappointing. Hopefully we will hear something soon.
I check once again for an annoucement of when BSEG was going to have their conference call nothing yet. I also posted a guestion about it on their forum, it has yet been to be posted by them. I am sure there was a good reason for them to announce they were going to have one in the first place.
I know they are very busy, but I hope they can find the time to explain why we haven't heard any more about it.
There is no longer an Investors Forum showing up on BSEG's web site.
I would hold off on buying ELTY till after their meeting on Aug. 26th. After which the A/S will be going to 1.3 billion and the O/S will go to 860 million. They are also voting on giving the Directors the right to R/S the shares 1 for 50 up to 1 for 100. Since the insiders control the company the R/S okay will go through. I would wait for any R/S taking place before buying.
Nothing has changed RE: delution and R/S vote.
I just talked to IR at ETLY and was informed nothing has changed regarding the vote on Aug. 26th. He said they had no choice but too issue the 1 cent warrants too the debenture holders inorder to preserve shareholder value. The R/S of 1 for 50 to 100, delution to 866 million shares and raising of the O/S from 300 million to 1.3 billion will remain too be voted on.
When I first found ETLY I checked into it, figured they had a good story, so I thought it was worth a gamble so I bought 14,000 on the cheap side. Also it fit into the sector of the market that I have virtually all my money in. That is anything to do with energy.
As soon as ETLY had the big run up I checked deeper into it. Luckily I hadn't before if I had I would not have bought it. When they had the big run up and I check and found out about the heavy dilution and huge R/S which the Directors wanted to do. I tracked it right from the beginning of trading the day after the annoucement of the grant as soon as I saw it was time to sell I did.
A number of years ago I invested in a pink sheet company with a good story bought 1000 shares for $1.50 a share. One fine day without any warning they did a 1 for 100 R/S citing in their P/R the same reasons ETLY is saying why they want to do their R/S.
The stock traded immediately on an adjusted basis at $30 a share, the mm's deserted the stock then it collapse very fast to a penny stock, wiping out the shareholders. The Directors stole the company. You may fool me once but damn it if I will let you fool me twice if I can help it, luckily I feel I was spared from it happening again.
I sincerely hope that ETLY works out for you guys, but right now I feel it is too risky for me.
In regards too the R/S I would have a lot more confidence and respect for the Directors of ETLY if they did a R/S of 1 for 5, that would cover the delution from 160 million O/S to 860 million upon exercise of the 1 cent warrants nicely bringing it back to 166 million.
A 1 for 50 or 100 would make the stock too illiquid for mutual funds or institutions. Unless they plan to increase the float by issueing more shares too raise money, which would appear to be their plan if they follow this route as stated in their proxy statement.
I sold my position for a very nice profit and will consider buying it after the R/S. I certainly do not want to be in it with the Directors wanting too do a 1 for 50 or 100 R/S. These kind of R/S only work out badly for shareholders.
They do not get 98 million up front. Only as they develop and install products and each dollar recieved from government they and their partners have to match.
With electric cars depended on consumer demand which could be very small, even if it is decent it will take a fair bit of time too have enough electric cars on the road too interest businesses, offices, factories and apartments to install charging stations.
This is just like the stimulous package the number sounds impressive but only a small amount is actually spent.
Then why would they seek too do a reverse split? Just another case of an OTC company taken the shareholders too the cleaners.
Are you guys nuts get too hell out of ETLY, on Aug. 28th the reverse split of 1 for 50 up to 1 for 100 will be approved. That you can be sure of.
Have any of you guys got proxies to vote it down, even so look at all the newcomers into the stock after the last two days they sure in hell don't. Besides the insiders control the company and the reverse split will happen. And you guys will all be screwed.
Note what the press release states "will provide up to $99.million that will be matched by project participants" up to means as money is spend. So the money ETLY receives will start off small, then grow to larger amounts.
"The U.S. Department of Energy will provide funding of up to $99.8 million that will be matched by Project participants. Federal matching funds will be used to design, deploy, and operate a mature charging infrastructure in support of future wide-scale deployment of EVs, and to evaluate the means to improve the effectiveness of this charging infrastructure."
The company agreed to seek the approval for the delusion of ETLY shares after giving the debenture holders 1 cent a share warrants" increasing the O/S to 860 million upon exercising the warrants" and to seek a approval for a 1 for 50 up to 1 for 100 R/S. And to raise the authorized shares from 300 million to 1.3 billion. The insiders control the company so they will get the approvals necessary.
I originally bought ETLY shares for 11 cents, about a month ago. Even with my misgivings I thought the shares would do better today. After briefly going as high as 46 cents, then falling back to 34.5 cents, I decided to sell at market, every time I checked my sale order, it kept saying pending, for a trader a very, very long time. So I cancelled it, which was foolish of me. Finally when it broke below 30 cents I did a market order and got filled at 29 cents.
I don't like large R/S after they do it I will consider buying back in.

New William Shatner Documentary
June 3, 2008 -- Hollywood, CA -- Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC:BSEG) CEO Kimberley Kates has announced that post production is complete on “William Shatner’s Gonzo Ballet,” a documentary chronicling the production of a new ballet based on Shatner’s album, “Has Been.” The critically acclaimed album, produced by Ben Folds, provided renowned choreographer Margo Sappington, of the Milwaukee Ballet, with the inspiration to create the new work “Common People.” “Gonzo Ballet” is the story of that ballet, as well as the story of Shatner’s musical career.
