From the blog:
"Remember, no matter HOW badly I want to talk to you GOOD SENSE, business sense, the law of the land (SEC and FINRA), and strategic and tactical positioning have a hand in ALL that we can say and do".
They will put PR out but they have restrictions they are working with. I am sure they are working on it as quickly as possible.
Everybody here should e-mail, Facebook, tweet and any other thing they can do to get volume in tomorrow. Tell them it is cheap now but not for long. If they are your friends you will doing them a favor.
20 to 30 people buying 1 to 5k each adds up. They don't have be investing thousands. A few hundred dollars could turn into a few thousand dollars for them.
Agreed - Just an average volume day will propel this thing.
Next loading dock is around .33? We should get there easily without any news. Once news comes we pop up to next levels.
All we can do is keep pounding the drum - the numbers are in our favor :)
IF no one else decided to sell and we only matched todays volume we would be at .18. This gets thinner everyday. It is only a matter of time with or without news.
No but some people are more private than others and just don't want to share that kind of info.
L2 is looking tighter: Less than 60K to .18 and over 60K asks at .06 and above. Just a matter of time and we off to the races.
Soon we will be rolling in dough!
If shares are tight and the price is rising the company could decide to do a forward split.
Yep - so the question becomes HOW MUCH ARE THEY WILLING TO PAY!
I am all in you on that Bradlee!
You could guess :) JK
The churning should actually be good for the stock.
The key is some holding now will sell. I know of at least one block of 200K that probably go up for sale at .33 (not mine but someone told me they planned to sell at .33)That could change but we really have no idea how much people will hold and how many will sell once price climbs some.
Exactly - some will sell. Still is thin though!
Kinda like getting a 10% on a test score and saying you are going to beat it.
Love the enthusiasm Bradlee!
Does anyone have LT's e-mail address? I have is phone number but not his e-mail.
That is why the volume is puzzling. I am sure most on this board have put all they can into the stock or would be buying more. But I am sure there is other money following this. Nothing is a sure bet but this comes about as close as you can get.
If someone had 10 to 15k to drop on this bad boy they would get an immediate 2, 3 or 4 times return.
Less than 100K to .18
WOW - great english there! "can someone explain"
Golden Cross? Can you some explain what it is and why it is important? Also are we close?
Would be another great opportunity to ACCUMULATE! But I don't see it happening - thing is just to tight. Those shares this morning were a bargain.
It were a joke - hopefully nobody does it but I's sure there are those who do. Just like the guys who go to Vegas and bet away the rent and food money.
short sighted, panicked, Rent is due, took 5 years to pass 3rd grade, meant to buy not sell ....
Not a problem. It is a moving target though. I expect we are very close to the 18.9 shares. We have a few nervous types that keep offering up small amounts but nobody is going to offer up any sizable blocks at this PPS.
Billiam I had your shares - Thanks
Alpha I had you at 160,000 last night.
18,305,000 with 14 names on this board I have no totals for.
I am surprised the chart action does not bring in a little volume. It won't take much.
I agree Q - Does not hurt to give partial information.
You are right!
Whoever buys them will never regret it.
Seems like the perfect and possibly last time to accumulate at prices near .10.

I'm with you man!
18,260,000 with a lot of people unknown. I would say the float is almost locked down. Could be as few as 200K available. Anything to kick up activity will make this pop. Even without news the Golden Cross coming up or something else like it could propel this to the next consolidation point.
Why I have set $10.00 per share as my target.
I know a lot of people will sell at .33 or .50 or $1.00 or $2.00 ... I don't blame anyone for doing (I will probably sell a small amount) but I plan to hold for the homerun. Here is my reasoning in 2 sections:
Section 1 - As many here have already noted the management of this company is very careful to do everything right. They don't want to over promise or pump and dump. They want a proven technology that drives the success of the company. They are close but still have a few tweaks.
Very low float
No Debt
Well Respected management in the appropriate fields
Demand/Demand/Demand
Potential demand in multiple additional industries
Patent holder
Privately funded
Etc.
Section 2
Did I say demand? Read the following:
Sought after Worldwide "Cultured Diamond" productions currently flowing into the gem and jewelry industry estimated by Mr. Prentice is only 20,000 carats or less annually, which is a very small fraction indeed, considering the demand for Cultured is easily 10% of the world’s 150+ million carats of natural gem quality rough Natural diamonds mined today.
In other words - A market of 15 million carats is currently only seeing 20,000 filled. There are only 3 or 4 cultured diamond companies producing cultured diamonds now. The fastest process takes 3 days and the diamond is limited to 3 carats in size. CTDT takes seconds and produces any size.
Current market cap is 8 million. A market cap of 700,000 million is a very conservative number (I believe). With 730 million shares outstanding that is approximately $10.00 per share.
The patents alone could be worth more than that figure. We don't have any EPS to work from but this company will have a very high PE ratio as well.
Every once in while "the opportunity of a lifetime" presents itself. This could be one of those. While I think $10.00 is a reasonable target price I do believe it can go significantly higher. GLT all.
A little research for everyones enjoyment:
These clips are from an article in 2003 - The issues they discuss have never been resolved because the processes currently used to manufacture synthetic diamonds simply cannot fix them. The CTDT process does:
But the greatest potential for CVD diamond lies in computing. If diamond is ever to be a practical material for semiconducting, it will need to be affordably grown in large wafers. (The silicon wafers Intel uses, for example, are 1 foot in diameter.) CVD growth is limited only by the size of the seed placed in the Apollo machine.
Jim Butler is the head of a project known as Code 6174 - the Navy's diamond research arm, which is housed in a guarded facility outside Washington, DC. A civilian scientist, Butler has been been researching CVD diamond and semiconducting for the military for 16 years, long enough to see plenty of failure in the field. But today, he's more optimistic than ever. There have been three long-standing roadblocks to diamond semiconducting - and each of them appears to be on the verge of falling. First, diamond is viewed as wildly expensive, due to the artificial scarcity that De Beers maintains with its lock on the market. Synthesized diamonds created outside of the cartel will greatly reduce that problem. Second, there has never been a steady and dependable supply of large, pure diamonds. You can't depend on mined diamonds, as there is no way to ensure that each stone will have the same electrical properties as the next. Apollo's CVD diamonds solve that.
The third big challenge has been the most daunting for materials scientists: To form microchip circuits, positive and negative conductors are needed. Diamond is an inherent insulator - it doesn't conduct electricity. But both Gemesis and Apollo have been able to inject boron into the lattice, which creates a positive charge. Until now, though, no one had been able to manufacture a negatively charged, or n-type, diamond with sufficient conductivity. When I visit Butler in Washington, he can barely contain his glee. "There's been a major breakthrough," he tells me. In June, together with scientists from Israel and France, he announced a novel way of inverting boron's natural conductivity to form a boron-doped n-type diamond. "We now have a p-n junction," Butler says. "Which means that we have a diamond semiconductor that really works. I can now see an Intel diamond Pentium chip on the horizon."
Still, Butler is frustrated with what he thinks of as myopia in the US computer business. "Europe and Japan have been investing in diamond semiconductor research," he says, citing the Japanese government's announcement in December that it would begin allocating $6 million a year to build a first-generation diamond chip. "Bob Linares has given the US the advantage, but nobody's paying any attention," he says. "If we're not careful, the Japanese or the Europeans are going to claim the diamond niche."
Indeed, Intel's top materials executives weren't aware of the latest research breakthroughs when I spoke to them in June, although they certainly understood the potential for diamonds in computing. "Diamonds represent a seismic change in semiconductors," says Krishnamurthy Soumyanath, Intel's director of communications circuits research. "It takes us about 10 years to evaluate a new material. We have a lot of investment in silicon. We're not about to abandon that."
But someday, that's exactly what chipmakers will be forced to do. Just ask Bernhardt Wuensch, an MIT professor of materials science. "If Moore's law is going to be maintained, processors are going to get hotter and hotter," he tells me. "Eventually, silicon is just going to turn into a puddle. Diamond is the solution to that problem."

Q - I adjusted the numbers you needed me to.
Guys don't forget the reason the support has held above .10 is the locked float. I prefer that to this thing bouncing back on forth.
