Para 1 - Not sure what you are saying but if you mean NXT to build a cell manufacturing company I don't see that. Any novel product is difficult to market, so I don't blame them for difficulties they encountered and further developing the tech to make them accepted standard. I am in a few companies with novel technologies that discovered after developing them that they can't market to skeptical buyers without independent studies and more proof of concept.
Para 2 Thanks for clearing up the 50% issue. More goodies to come when the tandem works.
What happened to the Natcore bs solar cell samples that companies were testing? I thought that was in a nr a year ago or am I mixed up?
Also why does the presentation say they will halve the costs, but Chuck says the independent researchers calculation of 23.5% is more than expected?
Walkerville, brokers don't pump a price up before they go to their clients to ask for money with a financing. That would not be a good deal for their clients and it wouldn't take long to lose them all.
Brokers are more likely to push the price down if they can, so their clients get a better deal and because it is a lot less work to sell a cheap financing to their clients than an expensive one. If a broker is working on a financing and his client asks him to buy some nxt, he will say to wait for the price to dip because NXT needs money.
I see nascrazy is flailing wildly with useless guess posts from hell, trying to get something, anything, to stick. Sad.
Agree. I wrote him and said I hadn't been updated. lol.
Brilliant.
You called it a rumor when you posted it instead of just listing the source. That made it sound like a leak.
If you had been clear then, I could have straightened you out that getting the tech ready for pilot test in Dec is not a sale. Even if the tech is completed by YE, there will be testing so that is optimistic to expect sales then.
lol to your silly idea that my emotions (if, as, and when interpreted by you) affect the sp.
They have been doing broker presentations for 4 months and there is a lot of interest or the sp wouldn't have held up when they were doing the financing. So it could be just more promo as we near the hoped for completion of SE and BS. Many times over the 5 years NXT has been in business, posters here "knew" it was insider like you did but they were always proven wrong when the sp deflated after a run. There was no news after it hit $1.50 twice in the past, so it was just market speculating, which most people on this board don't understand, like rkt who posted a rumor here a week ago but fell silent when I called him on his crap.
Most posters always assume insider tipping is going on because they don't know how the market works, but if it was so blatant then there would be huge risks for the tipster.

I have 100,000 warrants at $1 expiring New Years Day so I am hoping they make their forecast deadlines.
rkt wants you to believe Provini illegally leaked information to him.
There are no news releases in months so you should be able to figure out that your question was stupid, no matter where you come from.
Most posters think all the trades except the one they did to buy in were done by insiders but in fact almost none are since the exchange has sophisticated monitoring methods. Reality is any insider won't be stupid enough to post an answer to jimermac's dumb question "what's up?" anyway. Only thing "ignorant" is dopes who think this board has secret information about why the stock is moving up or down.
I have been called when I sold stock in one account to buy it in another because the investigator wanted to know if I was fluffing the volume. They reversed the trades even though it was less than $20k worth of stock and I needed the cash to pay some bills. They made me sell the stock in the market, then buy it back in the market instead of from me to me.
Also got a call asking about my motives when I kept acquiring a lot of stock at higher prices because they wanted to know if I was intentionally bidding it up.
Yes what you missed is it is a free market and moves up and down depending on what the investors happen to want to pay or sell for that day. Is that too hard to comprehend?
Whatever happened to Buddy Green? He used a picture of Provini on his Facebook but I don't see that name now.
I can't get over how useless your posts are mainly talking about your life. No one cares about you or your stupid stock you invested in. This is a nxt board and if I wanted other stock picks I would go to someone with some brains, which excludes you.
Perhaps this stock will move up after the Nov 10 - 13 Biggest Ever show, if they update and say they expect SE in 2 months. In the July 31 presentation, they said SE might be ready in 5 months. 9 months for significant BS milestone (whatever that means) and also for surface passivation.
Your last post is off topic so is in fact the angry one.
Yes ddjpn it is time to bring out the conspiracy theories isn't it. I mean the price has moved up significantly recently so that sucks the crackpots like you out of the woodwork and plops them onto iHub where they type up a "brainstorm" message like you and nas did.
Your paranoid message is oh so familiar, "Trading patterns are different. Someone is buying late in the day and that hasn't happened before. It has to be insiders."
The problem is you types think there is insider trading every time the price moves up so you mine the trading pattern looking for differences and then say aha this is different! The reality is there are so many trades going on every day involving many different investors then there is 100% probability that something will be different, like different time in the day, different investor uses different house than the last investor, same investor sells off all his stock so different sellers are there next day etc.
What you guys never figure out is if there were that many insider deals who is doing the tipping? Did you know the CIVIL penalty for tipping is the courts make you pay for the illegal gains if the buyer makes millions and spends it all by the time he gets caught? Then there is the CRIMINAL penalty like maybe jail.
So you think Provini or maybe Barron is thumbing his nose at the law and tipping someone? Guess you think these guys don't care about the shame that follows getting publicly made a spectacle of once they get caught.
Or do you just like to guess every time it goes up in case one of these hundred times you post you might get lucky and some news coincidentally comes out the next week then you can say you proved it once out of 100.
Your lips moved but you said nothing. We have all noticed the publicly displayed sp and volume just like you did.
If it works, it will still not benefit the poor investors at NewCyte who sold their company to NXT for warrants only. No cash consideration. Their warrants expired worthless in Dec 2012. NewCyte had lots of directors in common with NXT, like Flood and Barron.
They haven't even done animal tests yet although I wonder what is comparable in vision with dogs in the vision department, so it is a long time from market. Since there really isn't any useful alternative treatment perhaps they qualify for the FDA's hurry-up offence program which is still a plodding route.
Provini letter today,
In February, CBS News ran a story on a new artificial retina that requires the user to wear an external camera, transmitter, and eyeglass frame. It does little more than give the user very blurry black-and-white vision.
On the other hand, Natcore has just received a patent for an artificial retina invented by our Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Dennis Flood. The Natcore device allows normal vision, in color, yet requires no external camera, transmitter, power supply, eyeglass frame, nor any other external device.
Our triumph was announced to the press this morning via the following news release.
As you can see, we will probably look for a joint venture partner, a licensee, or an outright buyer to take our new artificial retina technology to market. Our plate is simply too full now – with black silicon, the selective emitter and the flexible solar cell – for us to divert our attention to an application with a distant payday.
I see a presentation on their site that I don't think was there before. They used it during the recent roadshow but usually the exchange makes them take presentations like this down because the revenues are forward statements, so save it if you want it.
http://www.natcoresolar.com/core/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Natcore-Corporate-Presentation-7-2013-Boca-Raton-vFINAL.pdf
mac It isn't a new direction. The original tech was made by Barron for a retinal replacement but it was taking a long time. Because it also works for solar they refocused there so they could get something to market faster.
It is still a long time but they kept it alive until they got it to a patented point that they feel no one can steal, so are in a better position of strength to now look for a partner.
Your post indicated it was mgmts. job to cheerlead by buying, so don't switch the subject. If you are so frightened then sell, instead of requiring hand-holding signals all the time.
If you weren't so dumb you would read the md&a and leave it at that, but your other posts indicate you have no comprehension.
That is yet another stupid idea that you cooked up kungfu.
Mgmts job isn't market maker or soother of worry-warts like you. Right period.
Kungfu, you have no idea how business works. Natcore is fully capable of developing their own tech, so will never go to GE to develop a partnership of their ip in any form, because that would dilute their ownership way more than a pp would.
They are raising the money to develop the ip, so try to focus on the facts in their MD&A where they state it is at least Nov before any products are developed, instead of filling this board with emotional fluff posts.
? Selective emitter by LPD
The top surface of a solar cell, known as the emitter, consists of silicon doped with the element
phosphorous. Current commercial cells have a uniform concentration of phosphorous across the surface,
but it is well understood that enhanced performance can be obtained by having phosphorous
concentration high near the electrical contacts and low elsewhere. This approach, known as selective
emitter, can boost performance by as much as 1% absolute (5% relative), but is difficult to implement in
manufacture. LPD films, patterned by a proprietary Natcore approach, simplify the process for
producing selective emitter cells with minimal cost increase. This process could be ready for pilot line
in five months.
? Black silicon
Current solar cells absorb only about 95% of incident light due to reflection. Furthermore, absorption is
reduced when light arrives on a solar module at high angles. Natcore, in cooperation with NREL
(National Renewable Energy Laboratory), has developed a process for etching the surface of solar cells
to make them absorb almost all incident light (making them nearly completely black). Simulations
accounting for the increased absorption and improved angle sensitivity suggest that power output gains
as high as 10% relative are possible. At the same time, this process completely removes the silicon
nitride antireflection/passivation process from solar cell manufacture resulting in reduced manufacturing
cost. This process could be ready for pilot line in nine months.
? LPD passivation
Current solar cell fabrication deposits hydrogenated silicon nitride on the front of the solar cell to
provide both surface passivation and antireflection control. This approach is effective only for the ntype silicon surfaces used in today’s solar cells. Two strong new directions are emerging in the solar
cell industry. The first is to passivate the back surface of the cell and not use full area contacts and the
second is to invert the cell structure to have the emitter (top layer) be a p-type silicon material. Cell manufacturers are now searching for a low-cost way to passivate p-type silicon surfaces and have found
that a thin silicon oxide layer under the silicon nitride layer creates the passivation they need for the ptype silicon surfaces, whether they are at the front or rear. The PERC (passivated emitter rear contact)
cell has been shown to increase cell output by 15% to 20% and switching to the p-on-n cell structure has
eliminated the unavoidable light induced degradation that occurs in conventional n-on-p cells. Thermal
oxides are too expensive and CVD oxides are not effective because of their less-than-theoretical film
densities. The LPD oxide is the perfect solution for this problem. The LPD passivation process could
be production ready in nine months.
? Tandem quantum dot solar cell
Standard silicon solar cells by their physics waste some of the energy coming from shorter wavelength
light, notably green, blue, and ultraviolet light. Tandem cells, essentially a stack of two solar cells tuned
to avoid this loss, are capable of efficiencies of over 30%. These complex cells are currently very
expensive, and thus suitable only for applications such as aerospace. However, Natcore has developed a
technology that combines quantum dots with LPD-deposited layers to produce a “tandem” layer that can
be deposited on a conventional silicon solar cell to better harvest the shorter wavelength light. This
could lead to efficiency gains near 50% relative to conventional cells. This process could be ready for
pilot line in 18 months.
Any solar growth limits due to material availability? Someone told me once that his solar idea that didn't use silicon was the only hope for mass production to allow solar to cover the world, because large deposits of silicon were not available.
His device didn't have credibility so I am not saying his comment about the raw material was true, however in 2008 silicon was expensive compared to today so that sounds like a production issue that buyers thought wasn't going to be resolved. Way back in the 2008 stone age when we thought the AR coating solution would bring the world to NXT's doorstep, Natcore showed silicon costs in their presentations with a caption reading something like "High silicon prices are here to stay."
Allow me to put you out of your misery kungfu. They are raising $4M so that is a good indication that they don't have any signed contracts. Perhaps now you will realize why they have not bothered holding your hand to provide heads up about any pending nr, while they instead deal with thousands of people calling about subscribing to the pp.
Jesse I am not a paying ihub customer, so don't have reply to inbox privileges although I can see your message. Use my email and I will answer your private message.
teq0907@gmail.com
You bore me so I won't be following your advice. Consider also how many others you inconvenience with your off topic spam posts.
How much more can you bore us with your stupid spam stock, grundoro? I already indicated that I don't find you particularly interesting, so why would I want to know about picks that came from your investment research?
Jesse - I picked up 2 units which is $50k. If you meet the investment requirements (in Canada you have to be an accredited investor,) I am surprised you don't sell at 50+ while you can (unless you don't have many to sell) and subscribe for the same amount which is what I did. It isn't often that someone pays you to take a warrant.
The closest we have on this board to a science person is cosmicrambler but I haven't seen him lately. grundoro's repetition gets tiresome saying he knows there is a scam but has no scientific background to prove it - Note his questioning if 6mamp is good enough to do the job in the same breath. LOL
I emailed the company about today's 6mamp to see if that is commercial or how many more of the 30% outside the 1 cm spacing need to get aligned.
Sorry kungfu your keyboard works better that your interpretation of reality. What happened to your charts a few months ago proving the technology was progressing, lol? Or even your post a week ago that they had closed the pp, which I followed up on and was able to subscribe for it since you were wrong?
grundoro You are always posting that the sp is going to go down but your last post says you are still holding. Do you have an IQ problem?
Everyone gets the news before you can post it. This listing is a non-event anyway. The company needs results, not market makers.
" We are also continuing to work on our selective emitter technology with the expectation of presenting these technologies to cell manufacturers within the next few months and, hopefully, have signed agreements shortly thereafter."
This is better than their May 31 MD&A where they said 5 months. Not quite as good as Kungfu's charts that said something big is happening a few months ago.

N.J. solar firm pitches Philly investors as global market shifts
June 14, 2013
By Zack Seward, @zackseward
A solar company from North Jersey wants investors in Philadelphia to think it's the real deal.
Red Bank, N.J.-based Natcore Technology was in town Thursday laying out the case for why this unique moment in the global solar industry could spell opportunity for American firms.
Natcore CEO Chuck Provini drove down to the swank Racquet Club of Philadelphia in Center City to talk to an association of investors.
He says his solar startup can make traditional panels with higher efficiency and more power output.
The big picture, however, is that China, the world's leader in solar manufacturing, is rethinking the incentives it pumps into its solar industry.
"Now the question is, who fills that void with technology?" Provini said. "Of course, I'm hoping it's the United States, but someone is going to fill that void. Because, right now, small incremental changes — 1 percent in efficiency, 2 percent in power output — are going to make huge differences to that industry, because it hasn't changed in years."
Experts say change is afoot in the global solar industry.
"There is a big trade fight brewing globally over solar panels," said Jeffrey Ball, a scholar-in-residence at Stanford University's Steyer-Taylor Center for Energy Policy and Finance.
In a recent article first published by Stanford's business school, Ball says China is hungover from a solar glut. As China's solar boom moves toward solar bust, the country is now dialing back its generous support of local manufacturers.
"What's going on now in China is an increasing attempt at a rationalization of the solar industry," Ball said.
Add to that, significant cutbacks in European solar subsidies and an oversupply of Chinese panels, and you get an industry in flux.
Some argue, Ball says, that it could create an opening for firms in the U.S. or elsewhere.
"If there is a disruptive technology in solar — and there are lots of them that people are playing with — then suddenly China's edge, at least China's current edge, dissipates," Ball said.
It is going to take scientific breakthroughs to make this company work. Your claim is your charts help you predict the science - lol.
Another year is rolling by with the usual major breakthroughs but still nothing of value, just promises that the company just needs yet more breakthroughs before the product can generate sales with companies that will use it. Before we know it the company will be showcased at another Greatest Ever event in New Orleans - for the 6th year in a row.
Maybe breakthroughs will come to pass, but it is possibly a crap shoot after all these years and nothing to show but a measly $50k tax credit - if they employ people making $2M someday.
I see. No news. Nothing you can hang your hat on but your sensors are detecting vibrations. How kind of you to share the emotions of your life.
I meant future Canaccord articles might not be on Buc's site.
geopressure - Pg 8 from Canaccord - Another incentive specific to Alaska is the Jack-Up Rig Special Cash Rebate which offers further incentives to drill in the Cook Inlet. What this means is that for the first 3 wells drilled in the Cook Inlet ACES will offer the following cash payments
• 100% cost rebate for the first well drilled up to a cost of US$25.0m
• 90% cost rebate for the second well drilled up to a cost of US$22.5m
• 80% cost rebate for the third well drilled up to a cost of US$22.5m
We note that this is only applicable once per company with 50% paid within a year
with the remainder repayable over 10 years.
I have access to Canaccord reports on an ongoing basis and usually the company they research does not have permission to list the reports, so perhaps future ones will not be on their site.
