Thanks JET, that's good news with more to come.

Sircooper: another post on the money.
PW
Your guessing, I'm not.

BTU: don't go anywhere and don't pay attention to a few here. I really do think things will turn around soon. Take what John11 wrote to heart I can verify some of what he wrote. Its just taken longer then I / we would like."If we build it they will come" or something to that effect. Stay long my friend.
PW
Ditto, and they seemed to have recruited more help lately. Still long, long live Bork.

Tomcat: Facts make no difference when your intent is to damage or bring down a company. We have a fantastic material and this is very evident by the headlines, patents, and newspaper reports. So one would have to attack the company in another way. The driving force behind all this, who cares. Non of this matters when you have a personal vendetta against a given person. Or you are shorting the stock. The goal is to damage the stock. If Bork was to release news of a massive contract a few would just change gears and attack from another angle. The bottom line is somebody (JB) came up with a impressive material, that with time will have a huge impact across many disciplines. Yes management seems to have made some bad decisions. But then we don't have all the facts. I in no way believe this is a scam or I would have sold long ago. For those who never have anything good to say about Bork why would they invest in a company when they have such a deep hatred for it. Wouldn't you thing they would spend their time doing something they they enjoy? I would suggest if you don't like what you see go do something you do like. With time I believe this stock will soar. We just need to get there.

Bama2: I called and talk to Bork last week and one of the question I asked was if they were producing any plates right now. Because I didn't think they were. The answer that I was given was they are make a few plates with the old system that was brought over form the old address. I was also told the new automated system was expected to be up and running this week. Maybe if someone is going to call Bork they could check to see if it really is running right now. So from what I was told they are making a very limited amount of plates and perhaps more if indeed the new system is running.

Bowser619: Sorry but at this time I have no comment about Pratt Whitney. A great coach (Jimmy Valvano) once said: don't give up don't ever give up.
PW
DunnoNuttin: I agree, if I had any cash available I would be buying here. I believe someone said a while back that feb. was going to be a good month. I think what will happen is some of the things we suspect is going on in the back ground will be revealed sooner or latter. As far as I'm concerned Feb would be a good time. Look mistakes have been made I'm sure, but its a startup. I'm not happy about the Bourque site being down but I think we are moving forward. I do wish that some news will be released soon.
PW
interrested9: I think he was saying that when lines need to be changed out or repaired to replace them with Kryron wires.

Energydude: Welcome aboard. Very informative first post.

The last time I made the trip from PHX to Tucson was over 30 years ago. Our trip in Oct / Nov was between Safford and Tucson. So my memory was from some time in the 70's or early 80's. And your right my wife was most likely was with me.
PW
If I recall correctly about 2.5 hr drive.
PW
From What I understand we may hear a little good news next week at the Vegas shoot IMO. Don't ask, just wait and see if it comes true.
PW
I think many of you have made good points this morning. But I think the real reason for not having the Phone number on their web site and why they sometimes do not reply to some emails is they don't have any plates to sell at this point. What do you do if someone calls / emails to buy a vest or request material and you don't have any to sell. This may also explain the dragging of their of their feet on a few other issues as well. If you don't have material you can't sell product to anyone. I think this may explain a lot of things that have and have not happened over the last few months. I do not know this as a fact, but if you put all of the pieces together it seems to point in this direction,IMO. It's discouraging as investors not hearing anything about contracts, sales, shipments, partnerships or news of any kind. If this is not the reason, then what is the answer. Please someone prove me wrong, I long for the day all these things are active.
Did we sell one vest at the gun show? If so how much did it cost and did we sell only one or none at all? My guess is none (no product). I think they (Bork) are looking for future sales, thus the gun show. Please help me out someone if I'm wrong. Show me something that blows holes in what I've said, please.
PW
Anyone go to the gun show? Would like to hear about the Bork display and if it looked busy at the Bork stand. Anyone know if there was any sales. At this point I'd be happy with one vest sold.
PW
iflyby: I think you've hit the nail on the head with your last post. I believe they are working hard but have made some mistakes in managing a start-up. Lets hope they can get things going soon and start to see some sales.
PW
Bork Tube user: that was funny. I know how you feel.
PW
Sir: do you know something we don't? I would really like you to be right but I have nothing that indicate that your right, except hope.
PW
Bower619: If I didn't post this before I apologize the non disclosure is in place and Bork is working on supplying Pratt with data and material. I do not know exactly when this will take place.
PW
iflyby: first of all welcome aboard. As for the "ASTM materials test data" I have been trying to lend a hand in getting Bork this data. From what I understand Bourque has very little if any data at this point. I'm not sure they understand that many industries can't use a material without this data. The number of companies they can sell to would greatly increase if they could show data to backup the claims.
PW
ATLLivn: I do know that a lot of people read this board and are not registered to post. At least two of my ex-coworkers do.
PW
Tomcat: I hadn't thought of that but it does makes sense. I'm ready for a move back up. I used this time to average down some. So I'm good to go. Up, up and away. :)
PW
Thanks, ROCK.
PW
I too have been very frustrated but bought another 10k shares at $.77. We have a great product as long as those in charge don't mess things up. Part of my thinking was the last time we were down the bluebirds came out everything was looking bad and then the stock more than doubled. Good time to average down.
PW
Tomcat: I fully agree that The majority ownership should be John Bourque's. He's the one who invented Kryron. Who else should be the majority owner? He earned it. He may have knocked over a test tube and Kryron fell out for all we know, but it's his discovery.
PW
GOTMILK: I think this is the best post you've had in weeks. Its balanced and makes good since IMO.
PW
My guess is they couldn't produce a plate to sell so the shipment couldn't be sent before the end of fiscal year. Thus they lost the orders. This does not mean the orders couldn't be placed again. But you don't want to get a reputation of not being able to deliver, plus you get upset customers. This would explain no orders and no revenue. I also think that when the first plate comes off the production line we will heard about it. It will be a good day at Bourque. This is just my opinion and still long.
PW
Hey RockQQ what say your crystal ball? Where are we headed.
PW
Merry Christmas to all.

Borkfromork: Date : 09/29/2011 @ 9:30AM Bourque Industries, Inc. (OTC: BORK) management today announced four key strategic business acquisitions to consolidate all facets of Kryron technology into a single corporate entity. This includes all sales, distribution, manufacturing, future product development, and intellectual property comprising all global Kryron patents and licensing rights.
PW
Gotmilk: I can answer the Pratt Whitney issue you seem to have. I was in contact with both sides during the NDA being worked out. It has been approved by both sides. My contact at Pratt said they are now waiting on material to start testing. There was no announcement as far as I know. You may check with Bourque if you doubt what I've said. I will not give the name of my contact at Pratt.
PW
76747674: I hope for your (and our) sake that we're right about bork. I didn't dare to put everything on the line. I only used about a 1/4 of my holding and I thought that was risky. I too think its a good investment or wouldn't have put my money on the line. Good luck to all of us.
PW
Hey Rock where do we go from here? Oh mighty chartist, what say you?
PW
The patent process is very slow, the US patent office has been overwhelmed. In 2007 I co-authored a UTC US patent. The patent was not awarded until 2010 and if I remember correctly I was not given a patent pending ID until about mid way thru the process. I don't know what the holdup was for sure but was told by the outsourced patent attorney it was due to overload at the patent office. One more note, I was told that worldwide patent protection was very expensive, if Bork is pursuing that it won't be cheap. My guess if we are waiting for something at the patent office, we could be waiting for a while.
PW
It also shows prof of concept with the Patent Application time line. In case someone else tries to file before Patent approval. So the Patent Application date can be vital in protecting your invention. It documents ownership of concept time line.
PW
Yes Doug, I don't have the background to understand if your concerns are justified or not so please keep us advised as to what the securities attorney tells you. It doesn't look like any of us can help you with this issue so you may have to take Slideshow's advise and check with an attorney. Repeatedly asking the same thing has not gotten you and answers to this point.
PW
Slicknhow as to test results that would depend on when Pratt receives the plates. My best guess would be about 4 months from that date for preliminary test data. Specimens will have to be machined, in-house funding set in place, testing and data review. Even then we may never hear about anything about what the data is. I might be able to get someone to verify if it is all that it claims to be. But Pratt will not be able to share the actual test data as far as I know. That is without Bourque approval I think. Believe me I would love to know the details of the data. Even if the test data was released I don't think most people would know what it all meant anyway. Unless you worked in that field the numbers wouldn't mean much.
PW
Its real.
Some good news, I've known about this for a few days but waited until it was final on both ends before saying something. Bork and Pratt Whitney are going forward and have agreed to share test data for future use on engines and have a Non-Disclosure Agreement in place as of a week or so ago. I understand that John Bourque will be talking to my contact at Pratt within the next couple of days to ship material and start preliminary testing to use on jet engines. Over time this testing will be extremely extensive. The aerospace tie to Kryron has begun or soon will when the material is shipped.
