Scram spam. You are too dumb to pick my stocks.
Beat it with your spam picks and life story grundoro.
btw, Obama comes up with a big ghg emission announcement on Monday - that might favor NXT, which is the topic of this forum, not your life.
BOD isn't management, which seems to be news to you, so how about reading the discussion on this board by me on that topic over the last months so you know what you are talking about. It is tiresome listening to whiners think they have something useful to say when BOD sells some paper - boring.
You can read on this board to your heart's content the discussions over the last 5 months whenever a director sold. You call these "insider" trades - I call them useless question marks unless you are a fantasy player. Any investment subject with no conclusion is boring.
Everything that needed to be said was already made - by me.
Depending on how long you want to keep the tech secret while you work it up and perhaps discover some new things to patent as well, you pay delaying penalties to the patent office. So that patent could be something they discovered 2 years ago, although I haven't a clue.
It is much the same as the old presentation but with the $ added as you mentioned.
They save 23% opex with bs, but this description shows the antireflect etch will save lots too.
"Industry currently uses a costly process to reduce
reflection
• Texturing of the surface (chemical waste) plus…
• PECVD silicon nitride (vacuum process, dangerous
chemicals) "
mac, durability is not considered an issue. Scarpa told me that a while ago.
kf, half of the 4 months projection included the time needed to get the laser etching to remove the last furnace. It appears they have to tweak the part they sent to China to get the efficiency up but I do not know when this is projected. I hope Chuck's follow-up email to shareholders which traditionally occurs withing the day addresses that.
They created it yesterday. It is the laser etching tour.
Per Pat Zubil at NXT, you have to email Scarpa (or maybe Pat) for the video because of exchange regulations.
At the 23:30 mark Provini says he can likely get a deal today with the Chinese, but is attempting to improve the tech while the Chinese work on a project with him. I think he means they have to get some more patents in place right now. Obviously he can't go into any detail about the project the Chinese are working on with him.
There is $1M of in the money warrants expiring in May so they have lots of cash for the foreseeable future.
Scarpa said up to 4 months after they get a deal they can be in full production and included that 6 week timeframe. Every facility uses different manufacturing processes, so things have to be tailored for each, but 4 months isn't bad for 5% of the world from each top 10 manufacturer. I don't know if NXT has the resources to do them concurrently if they get 10 orders, but even if they can't, that will be a bottleneck we can live with.
Here is the blue-sky on NXT with about 25% market share.
After they get a deal, the laser etching is estimated to take 6 weeks (which gets rid of the remaining furnace at which point NXT will be the only silicon cell process that doesn't increase GHG) and another 10+ weeks to get the process designed and running in the manufacturing plant.
The number 10 worldwide manufacturer has 5% of the world market and they are trying to land a top 10 manufacturer right now. NXT's financing presentation last August shows the following revenues at specific market shares.
SE 20% market share $467M/year=NXT projected gross royalty revenue
BS 25% $425M
LPD 25% $52M
Tandem 25% $2.1B / year
I never bothered asking last August why they only showed 20% market share for SE but the blue-sky opportunity is so big that it doesn't matter.
Provini is saying institutional investors will be interested in a company that is of NXT's anticipated caliber which will push the price up - All shareholders want that + a higher sp helps fend off unwanted takeovers at a cheap price.
Insitutions are not strategic investors so do not offer anything other than their money.
That was the plan, but it is a negotiation so could drag on. We will have to hang in there waiting for news, because they will let us know if they get a deal.
When they eliminate the last furnace, only NXT process can produce solar panels without increasing GHG.
BERKELEY, Calif., June 4, 2012 – Solar cells do not offset greenhouse gases or curb fossil fuel use in the United States according to a new environmental book, Green Illusions (June 2012, University of Nebraska Press), written by University of California – Berkeley visiting scholar Ozzie Zehner. Green Illusions explains how the solar industry has grown to become one of the leading emitters of hexafluoroethane (C2F6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). These three potent greenhouse gases, used by solar cell fabricators, make carbon dioxide (CO2) seem harmless. Hexafluoroethane has a global warming potential that is 12,000 times higher than CO2, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It is 100 percent manufactured by humans, and survives 10,000 years once released into the atmosphere. Nitrogen trifluoride is 17,000 times more virulent than CO2, and SF6, the most treacherous greenhouse gas, is over 23,000 times more threatening. The solar photovoltaic industry is one of the fastest-growing emitters of these gases, which are now measurably accumulating within the earth’s atmosphere according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A NOAA study shows that atmospheric concentrations of SF6 have been rising exponentially. A paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters documents that atmospheric NF3 levels have been rising 11 percent per year - See more at: http://www.ereleases.com/pr/solar-cells-linked-greenhouse-gases-23000-times-worse-carbon-dioxide-book-green-illusions-80276#sthash.8XTatsfz.dpuf
They are emailing the link when it is available on their site so I will post it then.
Did anyone listen to the presentation today?
I got it from Scarpa perhaps a while ago when I asked how much more needs to be done to make it marketable. They are so close to getting rid of the last furnace that it only makes sense to finish the furnaces off so they can be rid of the entire silane gas hazardous storage issue. Reread my last post btw, since I edited it a few times.
Plus it will make a great selling strategy if you remember the post I made a few months ago about the GHG gasses that the furnaces create. If you don't remember, repost it when you find it. The environmentalists who buy solar panels would have something meaningful to protest about if they realized they have been the greatest contributors to GHG but nxt has the solution. I don't have search by poster capabilities because I am not a paying member.
Kramer tv is not a manufacturer so has nothing to do with their marketing efforts except perhaps FS uses it to market their sp up.
Your first para I can't agree with and have pointed it out before but here goes again - they can't market a product that the manufacturers won't accept and the manufacturers wouldn't part with their proven furnace manufacturing tech until nxt worked the product up so the gains were impossible to ignore - they had to keep improving it with new breakthroughs and have got rid of 2 of the 3 furnaces but the last one also has to go before someone wants it. Sell all if you worry, but stick to reality because in the long run that is all that matters.
Speaking of reality, is anyone going to listen in to the 2:00 EST time nxt lab tour today?
The below was emailed to me so I don't have a link:
It was only about a month ago analysis from the Rocky Mountain Institute implied that utilities would soon be obsolete in Hawaii and California. RMI believes solar power will reach grid parity in those states in a few years, and in other states not too long after. Now comes Goldman Sachs with a similar analysis, as reported by Business Insider. Goldman's recently sent out an analysis of Tesla, the California company that makes electric vehicles (EVs). Tesla will soon have a "Gigafactory" to produce batteries for both EV and solar power applications.
Why will solar power come to dominate? First, Goldman cleantech analysts Brian Lee and Thomas Daniels believe the cost of solar panels will continue to fall, dropping by 3% annually. This is consistent with a well-known forecast from Bloomberg New Energy Finance
Second, they believe battery costs will drop faster than expected. They cite the Tesla Gigafactory. They believe it will help batteries reach $125 per kilowatt hour from today's $200 per kilowatt hour. And that battery costs will continue to drop 3% each year thereafter.
Meanwhile, they predict that electricity prices will continue to climb by 3% annually. As solar + storage drops while electricity rises, we'll soon hit the crossover point. This is especially true in Hawaii, California and New York where electricity is already more expensive. Goldman thinks solar power will come to dominate even without tax credits and incentives. "Ultimately the holy grail of solar is to move to a situation where the customer is no longer tied to the grid at all. This may be far off, aside from entailing a much more expensive solar/battery system, this is also potentially out of people’s comfort zone entailing a 100% reliance on a new system for their electricity needs. That said, decreased reliability from an aging distribution infrastructure, a broadening desire to reduce the carbon footprint, and perhaps most importantly, the reduction of solar panel and battery costs could also work together to make grid independence a reality for many customers one day."
benand try force feeding this into your puny meat computer. The BOD does not work at the company so there are only moments each year when they really possess insider information.
It seems nonsensical that people are selling at today's sp, since NXT got an offer they felt like turning down with strings attached, so the possibility is strong that they can get another without exclusivity - Perhaps the worst case scenario is they have to go back to the strings deal, which will still make us lots more than today's market cap, especially if the strings player is big enough to ramp up production while driving the competition out.
From Scarpa ", we want everyone to understand the process in China. We are not necessarily testing the technology, which we know will work and increase efficiency and reduce cost. What we are experimenting with in China is where exactly our technology should be inserted into an actual commercial cell fabrication line. Since the cell manufacturing process differs from one manufacturer to another we are testing for the optimum spot to insert our black silicon process. We should have some answers later this month."
btw Walkerville, my only concern with death is that you will bore me into it.
Your older fantasy post should have been embarrassing enough to stop posting - you dreamed that brokers were stupidly pumping the stock so they could make more work for themselves trying to do a stock issue at a high price. Your ideas float on thin air.

"Maybe Natcore decided to put everything on hold and go for the tandem cell now and fund it all with a $30 million pp. The fact that traders are buying and selling to themselves is one indication the price is being moved up to accommodate a money raise above $1"
By the time 4 directors are mass selling there has to be a nr out, otherwise it is too much coincidence to say they all got the selling bug at the same time. They are tracked by the Venture exchange so they couldn't going to get away with a 5 man group inside sale if they tried.
Here is a fascinating story about one Canadian guy who mass frauded on the pinks - http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=ed2357bc-d191-4d8c-9258-9fe10f86ab61 - You can find lots more about Urban than this skimpy article if you search. Urban Casavant, a former prison guard and U-haul franchise owner in Prince Albert, and several American cohorts conspired to sell billions of shares of unregistered CMKM stock. - He did it by getting his crooked lawyer to write a letter exempting him from publishing the billions of shares he issued to himself, bribed the transfer agent so she issued billions (to him, herself, his family and the lawyer) then sold them day after day at .002 of a PENNY or something like that - You could buy 1M for $2,000 so because it was publicly only listed around 100M lots of people picked up 1M not realizing the share count was in the multi-billions. Urban was a classic sleaze - He stayed at the International Hotel in Calgary one night and drank all the mini-bar in his suite then filled the bottles up with water, recapped them and skipped out in a hurry.
When KMart went broke there was news that they couldn't cover debt months in advance so it was ok for directors to sell then. Lots of bagholders held onto their KMart shares to the bitter end despite the news, hoping for a bigness miracle or as one person put it "The least they can do is give us some discount merchandise certificates." Air Canada was another that put on their site a year in advance the shares were worthless and wouldn't even show the sp after a while but bagholders wouldn't listen -- it traded at $1.50 that whole period until the courts could officially wipe out the shares - Talk about bagholders too stupid to read the nrs.
Since there is no way to know if the director is doing an inside transaction I would never pay attention to their sales when there is no news. Buys yes, but sales no interest.
I have seen slimy small oil companies with no funds announce their Hail Mary drill shot was a dud or they had gone insolvent (basically secretly) on sedar but not in a NR, so that is a good time to sell along with the insiders who are taking the secret way out. The key is they had to announce it publicly somewhere, so they did it on sedar where people don't check every day rather than a Canadian news service like Marketwire or CNW where I get an instant email of the nr when those services deliver a nr. I have seen biotechs drop a product that failed the experiments but not announce it anywhere but sedar too - Only slimy management will do that.
The Canadian news services offer this for free signup (and there isn't any junk mail etc because that isn't their game) because the more people subscribing makes it like a newspaper when their subscription count goes up - more attractive to someone paying for their news to be distributed. That is where CNW makes their money so you should be signed up there free for any Canadian companies you follow. The US newswires don't offer anything like that and won't even answer your email when you inquire.
If you are afraid of a scam, sell. This investment is about the explosive potential of the technology, but unfortunately requires 100% trust in the management. No one here or at the company can help you if the leap of faith bothers you. There is no need to post here that you are worried, or to call the company-just sell and put your mind at rest if you have that fear.
Please don't invite responses to his posts whether or not there is a special knowledge claim. I rarely say please, so you understand now it has been painful enough already.
For the millionth time - a director can do what he wants with his shares, directors don't work at the company so aren't often privy to everything going on except a quarter end, nor do they have to be interested in NXT, nor do they have to tell anyone how they manage their portfolio, and might have something special like a new girlfriend and a short lifespan with which to spend the disposition money on. Stop dreaming up scenarios based on NOTHING but your imagination and fears.
It is none of the company's business why a director wants to sell and I really doubt the director wrote up a thesis on the subject afterwards. If I was a director and someone asked me why I sold, I would ask them why they didn't choose a different wife to shut them up.
I pity the company if they have to waste time answering dumb questions like why their directors choose to sell stock. You have zero logic if you can't figure it out after my post - so should get a broker because you aren't going to outfox any market.
If a director buys stock that is a positive but there is no way to determine if a director divestiture has any meaning.
If you had a memory that lasted since Tuesday this subject had already been discussed. Or perhaps the answer was over your heads?

"They gave an order to their broker, please buy me 1 mln. Natcore for not more than 0,95 CAD per share. If you can get it cheaper, you earn 50 % of the discount. The broker places orders at 0,90; 0,89; 0,88......0,75..."
Does anyone on this board, other than liar natcoreexpert, think an institution will pay a broker commission of $.10 per share for a few hours of work picking up NXT at $.75?
citoyen how can you be so gullible?
natcore expert has no clue if institutional buying is occurring. Do you think he talks to the stock exchange and finds the names of traders to interview before he writes up his guess-theories?
It is a pretty detailed report that came out on Xmas day from an interview with Chuck. There was another one within a month later. If you look over the posts back then you can find both.
Read the Trans Tech because everything we know is there and anything else is speculation. Wait for the updated Chuck message before calling IR, otherwise you won't get what is up to date.
kf directors who don't work at NXT likely have no talks with Chuck except at quarter end or if something big comes up - and are informed those times only because Chuck has to pass it by the BOD. They are expensive so Chuck is not going to run up a big tab asking for their input unless he is forced to. Likely the last time Chuck talked to them was Nov 30 when Q3 was prepared - that was even before TransTech so likely they didn't even read that.
BOD members may have their own companies to run or invest in so it is impossible to determine why they sold NXT- they are under no obligation to act as steward of the shares or provide good pr, so are free to do what they want with their shares.
benad Those are paltry dispositions and just directors so I rarely pay attention to those conditions.
When someone big accumulates they buy lots of volume (which hasn't happened) and there is no way to do it without driving the sp up - with all due respect to paranoid theorists who believe the market is ruled by large manipulators although they never have any proof so they are quite secure making those wild accusations.
The Venture is watched heavily by computers at the Exchange and my brokerage has regulators with the result that even I have had my minor orders temporarily held up while they review to ensure I am not manipulating the price on occasions when I do a few trades in the day - I have more faith in the regulators than paranoid theories about the big boys who no one positing the theory actually meets or can prove.
The Exchanges computers are far more sophisticated than paranoids imagine - they know relatives etc and the owner of every trade - unlike the pinks where perhaps no regulator exists who knows anything, the Venture is not that way at all.
kungfu natcoreex said this too on Mar 15, "On the other hand I know, that some institutions have discovered Natcore. Trading volume should go up over the next weeks."
Has this come to pass? No the sp has been in big decline since. His theories are too much guessing.
Everyone knows they are looking for a deal or else developing a new solar product - furnace removal, tandem etc. Very simple so keep that in mind.
If the product looks like it is nearly there, that means nothing because an insurmountable issue may crop up. If a deal looks like it is about to happen it is also nowhere because any unsigned deal can fall apart at the last minute. You want a tidbit on nothing?
If you keep hoping for news that doesn't exist that doesn't make it happen.
News coming, per today's post on Stockhouse from another poster below. There is no other comment there relating to it.
Subject: strong possibility for cell results
Either later this month or early next one--as i did get in touch with management earlier this morning to see where things are at "We should have some results later this month or early April."
He makes $250k / year which burns our cash. If he doesn't have time for your questions that is just called working toward making us some value, which is his REAL job.
