With many smaller companies, it's all about betting on the future, with almost nothing in the present. But with Energtek, you have a company that is already out there signing deals all over the world.
Nuclear power stations have been providing power for nearly half a century now, and have had time to work out a lot of issues. People now recognize this energy source as "the good guy".
In fact, one of the things they will have to watch out for is getting too big. They will require an interface that is easy to use, letting the viewer quickly drop down to their particular area of interest, where they can deal only with the people and services that apply to that small niche. NAVIGATION.
Real estate never goes away. There are a hundred sub-markets they could address in this mega-field.
Looks like another run today. But don't get too excited. There will always be ups and downs. The long run is the important play.
They are establishing themselves in genetic research and engineering, not just spider silk.
It's a roller coaster ride in the green energy field. It will take time for the industry to mature, and small companies to grow.
Must say, they seem to have the NG market pretty well in hand, what with unique transportation and storage technologies (both pipeline and non), plus vehicle applications that are already being applied.
Remember that the region they are in is I believe the source of the highest grade uranium in the world.
Don't know exactly what to expect, but I have signed up for the beta release.
Incidentally, whoever becomes the eBay of real estate will have a multi-billion market pretty much to themselves.
There's a whole new paradigm for using the Web to solve people's problems. There will be drives to integrate the best ideas of social sites, ecommerce, and advancing online technologies, to create a much more flexible and valuable user experience. It's certainly something that is desperately needed by the real estate industry.
A threefold increase in a week!
I think they're running around like a pack of spiders right now, trying to get all the stock confusion straightened out, while the important stuff goes on back in the lab.
Right now I'm looking at a 60% increase over the past week.
We've seen more volume on EGTK in the past 7 days than we've seen in the past 7 months.
Volume on a rising price, versus volume on a falling price.
The key thing is not to be just another RE site that lists properties. Nobody will go there, because it's not worth their time, and the site gradually dies. You need to offer something that other sites don't have, which will motivate people (buyers and sellers, of all levels and types) to go. Then, as volume picks up, the volume will itself become a motivator, and will ultimately drive the site.
There are so many limited and crummy real estate sites out there, with none that is so accepted that it represents a true centralized database (e.g., like eBay). Whoever can come up with that will be very successful, and I very much hope that Upturn is the one.
There needs to be a very standardized and quantified way of listing property supply and property demand, together with as much flexibility and automation as possible to search and mix the two.
The social networking element of the site will, I believe, be helpful. There are, in most communities, physical meetings, where RE investors get together (usually wholesalers selling to fixers). There is a real need for an effective online environment.
The article on "Open Houses Get Austere" is on target.
Dealing with short sales, delapidated foreclosure properties, REOs with unresponsive banks, bitter and anxious sellers: I can tell you, as someone who deals with this, that people are serious because it's just NO FUN ANYMORE!
Take a look at their RealtyOnRealty article on "Where You'll Live In The Age After Oil" for a good view on the totally new environment real estate will face in future years.
Americans are sick of sending unpredictable amounts of their earnings overseas just so they can fire up their smog producing fossil fueled cars, and the ups/downs of oil prices will continue to feed the need for reliable, easy-to-maintain, clean all-electric cars that people can simply plug in at night. SL is set to benefit from all this, though right now most of that benefit is just in emotion-driven share price.
Last Thursday, you could have purchased SLAT for .17
Yesterday, you could have sold it for in the low .40s
There is value being built behind the scenes, in the growing knowledge base and experience from all of the very unique things that this company is doing. That may end up being the real story, and, in the end, the real attractiveness of this company.
A good starting point is http://www.hybridtechnologies.com/Order, where you can click on the car and get the retail price. But give them a call (702) 425-7376, for the latest and greatest.
Especially interesting points:
"As of this time, there is no practical alternative to provide natural gas to these industrial consumers. Although Haryana has a supply of indigenous natural gas, it does not have the appropriate infrastructure to deliver the energy to industrial consumers."
“We are not surprised by the interest of the industrial customers to use natural gas to solve their energy needs,” commented Energtek CEO Lev Zaidenberg, “we are surprised rather by the insistence of these companies to start delivery as soon as possible.”
Industry is desperate for money, and they need energy to make it, and that means they need cost effective ways of transporting it. This is what Energtek is all about.
With increasing demand, and limited supply, together with the fact that these are sites with a history, it's easy to do the math, though, of course, nothing is ever guaranteed.
Regarding going to previous mines: Actually it is common practice to shut down mines when they are unprofitable and then resume mining operations once the commodity's price increases.
This leading-edge energy storage technology can be used in an almost unlimited number of applications. By sending samples out to a variety of major companies, they're tapping into the creative juices of some very bright people out there. Hopefully some lightbulbs will go off, and new contracts will be signed.
There's a lot of running around right now to get the details of the divis straightened out, but that will all pass.
Think of this:
If everyone were using all-electric cars, charging them at night, all of the power companies in the U.S. could dramatically increase their profits without having to invest in a single new power plant. If I headed up a power company, I'd be doing some heavy promoting.
From India:
(didn't know about their low-pressure mobile pipeline)
"Energtek Inc., a world leader in the development of Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology, today announced that its subsidiary Moregastech India Private Limited is advancing the provision of natural gas bulk transportation services to industrial consumers in Bhiwadi industrial area in the Indian state of Haryana, using Energtek's proprietary Low-pressure Mobile Pipeline (LMP) bulk transportation technology"
More projected demand for uranium than expected:
"Over 140 new reactors are expected to be built over the next decade, every one of them a mini-market for uranium."
I'd love to see this new battery technology grow in tandem with the electric car market as the move continues away from fossil fuels.
That's why it's important not to get too wrapped up in stock dividends.
One of the important benefits of all-electrics is that they require so little maintenance. The reason this is important is that the support network for electric cars is still limited.
If the Philippines project is a hit, I have a feeling that Lev Zaidenberg, Energtek CEO, will be spending a lot of time in SE Asia.
I'm sorry to say that the drive for nuclear weapons, now from smaller countries versus the Cold War adversaries of the past, will also have an upward effect on uranium prices.
Sounds like whatever they're doing is working, as long as they keep improving their technologies to stay ahead of competitors.
