There's nothing strange about that. There are plenty of small investors out there that are willing to buy into the dream, knowing that the fantasy is more likely than the reality but for that one moment are willing to cast away all logic just to feel good about the possibility they might one day live large. Solartech, I am beginning to view your posts in a different light. Maybe the stuff you wright is filled with double entendres. Is it also possible that the people buying, who are not insiders, know something we don't? Could they be employees of the company that QTMM just contracted with? HMMM.
This could be part of the reason I am STUCK in LA LA Land with this stock. I can't buy it, sell it, or transfer it to another broker without potentially moving my entire portfolio over. Even then there is no assurances that they will take this. I have tried all the majors with the same or similar result. There is no oversight and very little control over how the CEO deems fit to spend investor money. I can't believe I am the only one in this situation. My broker is Merrill.
X27RY, you are correct.
I bought HEMP for .02 not QTMM. If I was not specific enough, I apologize.
My goodness, don't take it personally (personal). It would be my pleasure to buy you a drink. And meet the guy or girl behind the posts. I am retired. I want this company to succeed because my wife is a hard working girl, an RN on a heart team. She does amazing things. Loves her career. Works much too hard. she needs the break.
I bought 220,000 shares at .02 cents. It closed today at a little over.04 cents. I am down over $18,000.00 with QTMM. The company went public in 2017.
Over the last two years we all have been disappointed in the progress we have seen. (well, maybe not all) There is so much activity swirling all around the world with quantum dots. Other companies making deals and moving product. It is sometimes aggravating to see that we are nowhere to be found in any of it. I read and hear all of the reasons for this failure, but nonetheless, it is still so far not a positive. I am being polite. All we get is speculation as to why this or why that, why no reporting... well, it's because of the predatory lenders, it's the Posners, it's the bad actions of the prior board members, it's fear of reporting for one reason or another. Steve had to come back to save the company. What the heck is really going on? It is all speculation. This was a challenge, and that was difficult. Steve's letter to share holders was enlightening, but really had no meat, just promises of a great future. Something that could have been filed much sooner. Let's face it, up to now, we are going backwards. That is the reality as I see it. Last year we were talking about the NASDAQ, now we are HOPING to get back to the status quo, and not go broke. That being said, I am the ultimate optimist and will continue to support this company by buying shares and hoping I get an invitation to Hawaii.
Thnks for the prognosis. I just opened an account with Etrade so I can start to trade again. However, I transferred over HEMP, INC., a strong penny stock with lots of share holder communication and not QTMM for fear of them denying the transfer of both. I will wait for QTMM TO return to the OTCQB before I try to transfer my shares. Broker I talked to said it may be difficult to transfer in its present status. Also, IF YOU ARE WRONG about this prognosis, will you stop prognosticating on the future price after October. I understand your devotion, but sometimes you are just over enthusiastic. Hope you are right.
After reading the OTCQB reporting requirements, they don't seem to ask for much to stay compliant. "Hi, guys and ladies, this is Steve, I just wanted to report that I am cooking chicken and rice, and that we paid the $10,000 annual fee requirement and we here at QTMM are working very hard to advance our technology. We will write further when we find work." Delisted?
Now, upgrading to the NASDAQ is much more complicated. After reading those requirements it seems that Steve would have a lot of esssssplaining to do. Ten years worth. I really thank the posters of those posts for my further education. I am beginning to know what I own. In for a penny, in for a pound.
I GIVE!!
That is when I first bought QTMM. I have been adding since that time. I have a few hundred thousand shares. My goal is 500,000. I have gone through the same agony and hope just the same as everyone else on this board. I don't post that often because I don't add anything unless I have something to contribute. Most are much better informed than I am. I was not happy with the China deal because of the fear of losing control and I said so. There were other times that I posted my opinion, but not very often. I only post when I can support my opinion. I thank everyone for the education. I would own a lot more except for the fact that this company is a really bumpy ride with too many unknowns. Sometimes I feel like am following a cult rather than a company. I believe in the science and its future, I just am not convinced YET that QTMM can either last or prevail. That all remains to be seen. In the meantime I am gambling just like everyone else. We may have our differences, but it is truly rewarding when we all come together. Regards to all.
I thank everyone for your input. Thank you all! TD Ameritrade and Schwab would not transfer. I hope GoFishSC is correct. Monday I will open an account with E-trade, buy QTMM and then transfer the rest over there. MY big challenge is that Merrill will not let me trade in this company, period. Can't buy or sell. Really sucks because I would sell it. I have the funds to buy the same amount and more as soon as the trade is made, and then put the funds from the trade back into my savings account when they become available. But I can't sell. I truly thank all of you who took the time to offer suggestions about what to do. I originally posted because the broker at Merrill said that other brokerages in Sept. are taking the same position. Solartech, thanks.
So far I could not transfer QTMM to either Charles Schwab or TD Ameritrade. Each said I could buy or sell OTC stocks, not mentioning QTMM specifically, but they will not transfer from Merrill to them. Thank you for the HAPPY THOUGHTS about the future sales price and the transfer to the NASDAq, but even if that happened, I would want to sell some portion of my position at a $1.00 (again, so far wishful thinking). To wait for it to reach $5.00 on the NASDAQ before I can take any profit along the way is at best stupid. Based upon some of your prior posts, I believe your post may have been in jest. I will continue to inquire further, but the status of QTMM on the pinks is certainly not helpful. Going in the wrong direction
With reference to my last post, I will be happy to answer any questions I can, since I did not remember the full conversation within that post.
Just tried to place an order for 30,000 shares with Merrill Lynch and it was blocked for the first time. I called and talked to an agent who told me SPECIFICALLY that Merrill and other Brokers as of Sept. will no longer be trading OTC stocks. They will only be accepting orders from the major exchanges for companies with market caps of 500 ml or sell for more than $5.00 a share. Companies like ORGANOVO that are on the NASDAQ, for example, and sell for $1.24 a share as of right now will still be available for trade, since it is already on the NASDAQ. The ONLY solution to this issue right now, according to the broker I spoke with, would be to find another brokerage that will still be accepting OTC stocks, but one caviatt might be the number and dollar amount of shares one might want to transfer. This action I fear could be very detrimental to all of us. He said my other choice would be to wait and hold the shares until QTMM transfers to the NASDAQ and sells for $5.00 a share. Unfortunately, I did not ask what other brokerage firms he was referring to. AT MERRILL I will no longer be able to buy or sell OTC stocks. He did say that the usual brokerage fees for a transfer is $45.00. Presently, because of the balances I carry with Bank of America, I pay no fees for trades with Merrill. believe everyone should contact their brokerage firm to affirm the fact that they will continue to handle tradesfor OTC stocks. The result of this action could mean that the shares of this stock, if not tradable, will be worthless. ANY RESPONSE OR POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO THIS SITUATION WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
at Costco today QLED TV 75" $2,999.99. Very impressive color.
Jamis, thank you for that. however, that is only one part of the story. You are correct. For a business to grow it needs good connections. Part of my response was answering the 10 years needed to produce a product such as this. They got their seed money in 2014. They are selling dots. I feel something is coming our way. If QTMM doesn't do anything by the end of the year, I fear we are toast. sell dem dots, damnit.
from your mouth to God's ears!
You are really good at throwing around non sequiturs. Oranges, apples, or FACTS. Starting from the latest date and going backward. Aug. 20, 2018 agreement for distribution of CADMIUM FREE quantum dots with Strem Chemicals, Inc... NASA Awards UbiQD contract to develop Greenhouse FILMS for space missions. NOT TOO SHABBY. Senators Udal, Heinrich and Lujan members of the Senate Appropriations Committee announce the continuation of the National Science Foundation Award of 2016 small business grant of $225,000.00 phase I with $750,000 phase II for developing Solar Energy Window Technology. Quantum Dots supercharge farming, medicine and solar. Read the science from UbiQD website. Their statement, "This emerging category of nanoparticles has futuristic uses far beyond boosting colors on high end TV's" WOW. How small should I feel about following a company with this aspiration? Color TVS. Don't be mad at me. Blame Hawk for being smart enough to find this stuff and bring it to our attention. Oranges, apples, I'll take the one that has the above resume. Oh, I can't, they are not a public company. Oh, well, I guess in for a penny, in for a pound with QTMM.
On the other board DDHawk posted and I read the article about ubiQD. Then went to their website. they were a startup in 2014 making QD's. They already have contracts with the US govt. and many others. Unfortunately, it is a privately held corporation. They are making money, not selling shares. Reading about their successes in the QD areas that Quantum Materials never mentions (unless I missed it) to me is very telling and very depressing. Where are we really going?
Thank you. You are good when you get your tail in the air. So happy we are all on the same side.
Jamis, thank you. The biggest word in your last sentence was "IF". My father used to say that "IF" is the biggest word in the English language because "If my aunt had balls she would be my uncle."
That's not what Nanosys says in their news when they talk about their appearance at SID. Seems like they are moving and shaking. By the way, TURN is up. I wonder if that has anything to do with NANOSYS's performance. You may remember I was the first to answer the question about how to invest in NANOSYS a couple months ago.
I rarely post on this board. However, I would like to ask when does a startup stop being a startup and becomes something else. It's been seven or eight years now. Nanosys started in 2001, and they will be on the podium with Apple instructing and displaying their products in a couple of weeks at the electronics show. EXCELLENT WORK! Nanoco has had some success. Where is Quantum Materials? Right now you have to say they are in the garage trying to start their company car for the past seven or eight years knowing that the battery is dead, while all along THEIR PERSONAL CAR is running just fine because of all of US believing in what we know to be the future, but I fear the future has become the present and we will soon be living in the past wondering how did that happen. If you believe actions speak louder than words, you only have to look at the way QTMM is treating its investors and draw your own conclusion.
Thank you SNARK01 for that insight.
If you search Companies House you will understand exactly what they do. They are the registra for PLC companies in the UK.
Hi Jimmy, I signed up for emails with CompaniesHouse.gov.uk to follow Freschfield since they are privately held. This filing is the equivalent of filing with the SEC. Hope this helps.
ALSO,Freschfield moved to 3rd Floor 207 Regent St. London W1B 3HH, on 8 March 2018.
Following Freschfield; it has appointed a couple of new Board members. Terminated Gbac Limited as a secretary on 8 March 2018. Appointed Ukplc Client Secretary LTD as a secretary 6 March 2018. I have no idea what any of this means. It is the only news that is public that I know about. I signed up to follow Freschfield. With reference to QTMM, all of the signs seem to point to goods news ahead. I did add to my position a couple of weeks ago at 6 cents. What the heck, in for a penny, in for a pound. You gotta believe!
Tedj, based upon your notes, no resolution at this on any subject. There may be a jury trial, there may not. QTMM can make their motion again, because the ruling was WITHOUT prejudice. This looks like it will take some time. QTMM did lose on the motion to compel.
that should be higher court. Wouldn't we all love to be able to hire the court!
In answer to Hookem's question, there is an appeal process to a hire state court. However, I can tell you that if you lost at the lower court level, you have to have a strong argument that the lower court made a legal error in its decision. ALSO appeals are costly. Every state is different. However, if QTMM wins in the lower court, they should get back all their attorney expenses and whatever costs were involved in defending their position. WE CAN ONLY HOPE THEY ARE ON THE RGHT SIDE OF THIS THING. NOT REALLY KNOWING THE FACTS!
Re Hookem's question. 180 Ddgree Capital Corp., on the NASDAQ, STICKER: TURN, is a venture capital company invested in Nanosys. This is one way to invest in Nanosys. If you go to Seeking Alpha: TURN's 4Q earnings call they talk about their investment in Nanosys on page 7. Pretty eye opening. Only wish they were talking about QTMM.
Me also. Had the bid in for a 2 weeks.
Not that it matters now. I did say QTMM could not proceed with Solar R & D or further development last year was because they needed a partner. They did not have the funds. Who knows, that may just have changed. I just want to be wrong about whatever else I said about China, and not using the facility here in the US to start producing now as opposed to the time lost building a new facility in another country. Is that really the best use of 20M?
You just brought to light again what I inartfully stated several days ago. My gut tells me this China deal is fraught with danger. Qtmm builds the factory in China after eight years of developing their product, their brain power, and then is only one percent away from losing the whole thing. Not knowing anything about this deal, it would seem to me it makes sense to keep control until the company is secure and has money before building anything in China. Why not use the 20M to start producing right now here in the US? QTMM says they are ready to go. it's my understanding you cannot do business in China without a Chinese partner. We all know the Chinese play to win. they make up the rules as they go along. there's a good deal and a bad deal. This feels like a desperate deal. I received to excellent replies from my last post, but the insecurity about this situation lingers on. Would appreciate replies to this post.
Sorry, I meant THANK YOU
Jamis1,tank you!
Better World, thank you for the response. I know all these responses take time and energy. My thoughts about this stuff have been lingering in my head for a while. I wanted to throw it out there.
QTMM has no money! OR had no money until the 20M infusion. What does going to China to get money really mean? Is the company so financially stressed that there is no interest for investment here by US companies? OR are the products not as good as the company stated? Whenever they put out anything about production they always need a partner, double speak for no money.
Just heard on CNBC that Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in Solar Energy. What really happened when QTMM tried to sell them on QD? I was under the impression that QD solar was far more efficient than what we are being told today.
I just don't understand why QTMM would want to double down on building something in China, unless something is awry in the US. We just don't know. It seems to me "starting over" makes no financial sense. Even if they are using someone else's money. I believe they are putting on a good face when they are abandoning products that are potentially very financially viable. Again, double speak for not having any money.
Don't get this wrong, I am continuing to invest at these levels, but I am increasingly questioning my own judgment level. I am really frustrated when reading about all the goings on in this industry and QTMM is at zero when it comes to selling anything. I believe it is partly because they have no money.
When I talked to someone in the company about two years ago about the progress being made in solar because I really am waiting for QD solar before I put panels on my roof, the answer was we have the technology, but we are trying to find a partner before we can proceed. Again, no money. Sometimes someone just has to throw it out there for a reality check, even if it seems so simplistic. I think you guys are great. I have been reading this board for two years.
