In regards to the CTO in Canada.
I wanted to buy more today, and the CTO in the past only applied to BC. Now my brokers told me it applies accross the board in Canada.
I been buying through the years, Now I learnt this today. How can they attract Canadian $$$ money. I wonder what they are doing about it.
I cannot buy nor sell this stock as a Canadian.

Thanks!
With everything plunging as we speak. This would be a real treat to see revenue from this puppy.

nice
now we just need some sales.

("Nanoco" or "the Company")
Signs follow-on Joint Development Agreement in General Lighting
Nanoco Group plc (AIM: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other nanomaterials, announces that it has signed a follow-on joint development agreement with one of the world's largest lighting companies. This agreement follows the successful completion of a joint development agreement with the same lighting company, announced in August last year.
The objective of this follow-on agreement is to finalise the design and manufacture of a light emitting diode (LED) light incorporating Nanoco quantum dots for retro-fitting in commercial, residential and other settings.
LED lighting has many advantages over traditional lighting including long service life, reduced power consumption, compact size and shock resistance - but its colour performance is one factor that has limited its adoption. Current methods for producing white light from a blue LED tend to be weak in red wavelengths, creating the two problems that the light lacks warmth and fails to show true colours.
Nanoco's quantum dots can transform blue LEDs so that they produce white light with a high colour rendering index (CRI), thereby showing true colours in domestic and office environments. In addition, as Nanoco quantum dots are tunable, any warmth of light can be produced.
Michael Edelman, Nanoco's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We're delighted to have signed this product development agreement and to be working with one of world's largest and most innovative lighting companies. Our quantum dots have the potential to unlock the many advantages of LEDs, creating a major commercial opportunity for Nanoco."

For further information:
I'm glad I didnt buy yesterday. Was almost about to.
Bought some nanoco today.
I'm waiting till real PR'S and real communications from management and real results.
I think as investors weve had our share of what if's....
TIME TO RUN THIS LIKE A PUBLIC COMPANY.
Are you promoting the stock?
Stampedes come when stock is known... this is unknown.
There wasnt any official press release.
Not to be negative or anything... I have stocks that report 20 million+ of profit and they drop... Market is finicky...
Once we see volumes of 1 million+, then this is going to up fast...
We need to reach the masses, this is not a stock for the masses for the time beeing...
Needs a good aura and good repetitive buzz to instill some confidence in this one.
GLTA.
please note "potentially"
too many potential events have happened through the years.
Could this be the year of execution?
Did they sell their furniture ;)
on a more serious note.
Stock solds.
Major Investment made into company
Lawsuit won on patent?
Revenue from dots or partners , YES revenue...
Did they downsize, lowered operating costs? ( not a good thing)
Now what if they actually paid their royalty fees to rice and others made revenue and in the end a loss of 700k.
That would be amazing. but maybe too good to be true.
Dcmski welcome... thank you for creating your account.
your first post and an intelligent one.
yes, does that mean they had 2.5 million of revenue? I would'nt mortgage my house and life earnings on that. I do hope that's the case.
GLTA
im tired of playing private eye with this one....
I have cash in hand to load up more. just dont feel comfortable enough at this stage, with everything always up in the air and speculation over speculation. We need to hear from our CEO himself
his plan to profitabilty. Time for a webinar or something.
Annual report is gonna be late. So much for a countdown.
That's a REAL DOWNER. iMo.
There's nothing to talk about/speculate/dream we've done that and for long enough.
See you all in 2013.
Will Apple Be the First to Break $1 Trillion?
http://www.cnbc.com/id/49141878
Apple
Kimihiro Hoshino | AFP | Getty Images
If Apple continues on its current trajectory, something remarkable might happen on April 9, 2015, at around 11 a.m.
That is, statisticians and investors I've spoken with say, a conservative estimate of when Apple could become the first company ever to be valued at $1 trillion. (Yes, you read that correctly: the number one, followed by 12 zeros.)
Other analysts are making even more aggressive estimates for the company's value, which, as of Friday, was $656 billion. Those people put the trillion-dollar mark at less than a year from now: Aug. 16, 2013.
"It's hard to imagine Apple growing any faster than it has grown on both the release of the iPad and iPhone," said Michael E. Driscoll, chief executive of Metamarkets, a big data and predictive analytics company, and one of the people betting Apple will top $1 trillion in 2015.
Estimating when, or if, Apple will become the first to be worth $1 trillion is a bit of a parlor game, but we can all likely agree on one fact: today, it is a juggernaut.

Apple's iPhone 5 Launches Across the World
Not long ago, Apple was a boutique PC maker. Since then, it has rolled over almost every company in its path, first with music players, then with cellphones and, more recently, with laptops. Nokia, Sony, Research in Motion, Dell and Hewlett-Packard have all watched open-mouthed as Apple took markets they thought were secured. Each time, Apple's stock rose and their stock fell.
"They are certainly a different kind of company," said Walter Piecyk, a wireless research analyst at BTIG Research. But, he warned: "So was Nokia in the late '90s. No one thought they'd ever be challenged, and look at where they are today."
Even with this growth, there is another possibility: that Apple never reaches $1 trillion. "In a worst-case scenario, Apple could befall the fate of Microsoft, which had a similarly dizzying peak in late 1999," Mr. Driscoll said. "In this scenario, it will never happen."
If $1 trillion were the peak of Mount Everest, Microsoft would have been rising through the highest base camp in December 1999, when its market capitalization hit an all-time high of $616.3 billion. Since then, the company has slid down the side of the mountain and is currently valued at a mere $261 billion.

Indeed, the flap over the poor-quality maps on the iPhone 5 has led some people to wonder if Apple has already jumped the shark. But remember how well it has weathered other challenges, like poorly functioning antennas and Siri's erratic behavior.
Apple [AAPL 690.41 -9.685 (-1.38%) ] is different from Microsoft [MSFT 30.72 -0.47 (-1.51%) ]. "When Microsoft peaked in 2000, it had 20 years running the PC revolution. We're essentially only five years into the smartphone revolution," said Charles S. Wallman, a securities analyst who runs an investment group in Middleton, Wis. "Apple has 435 million customers based on the number of credit cards in iTunes. That's 6 percent of the world's population. It's not a stretch to say it can get to 10 or 12 percent of the world's population." (Before we go any further, stop and reflect on the power that gives Apple.)
Even if Apple didn't enter any new product categories, it could reach $1 trillion by doubling its sales. That's hard for a big company, but in many respects, it is already happening. According to the latest statistics released by I.H.S. iSuppli, a research company, the Apple iPad accounts for nearly 70 percent of the tablet market. BTIG Research predicts Apple will sell 45 million iPhones in the December quarter alone. (During the same quarter last year, the company sold 37 million iPhones, doubling its revenue from a year earlier.)
While it used to be a presence in the United States and a nobody overseas, Apple is now rolling out products like the iPhone 5 worldwide on the same day. The company will also, predictably, continue to increase its global retail division of 388 stores. These stores make an average of $5,647 in sales per square foot. By comparison, shopping malls in the United States make an average of $341 in sales per square foot.
The company will continue to grow in China, too, where many of the more than one billion people who own mobile phones are upgrading to smartphones.
And don't forget those clunky old PCs. While other computer makers have lost ground, sales of Macs have grown each quarter for the past six years.
And none of these staggering drivers of growth consider Apple entering entirely new markets.
"When we invented the car, it was a substitute for horses, but it was the second phase of the car revolution — when we invent things around the cars like gas stations and drive-ins — that created new business markets," Mr. Wallman said. "We're seeing this happen now with the technology we have in our hands. We're entering the second phase of this revolution, where entirely new markets will be created, and Apple could create those."
For instance, Apple could transform the television industry, making its own TV set built on iOS, which analysts estimate could bring in another $20 billion a year in revenue. Or it could try to reinvent money itself, turning on the 435 million credit cards it has on file and enabling mobile payments. And there are consumer electronics areas that haven't even been invented yet, like wearable computing.
When Apple first introduced the iPhone, people slept in the streets to buy one. Five years later, people are still lining the streets to snatch the latest update, even though it is only a slight variation on the one before it. A company that can pull that off, selling two million iPhones in the first 24 hours, might be worth $1 trillion in no time at all.

Hi.
Probably even more.... its not like there will be stacks of quantum dots on wallmart shelves anytime soon. this is not a mainstream stock, very specific... I just hope it lands opportunities of industrial levels one day before they dry up.
Countdown to the Q.
Countdown to the next Q
Hi Lineman,
SS is speaking at www.idtechex.com event in december
here's the link to what I posted.
http://www.idtechex.com/events/presentations/tetrapod-quantum-dots-the-future-is-now-003518.asp
Nice to read publicly that Doctor Jabbour is involved with qtmm,
A software controlled flow chemistry process for mass synthesis of high quantum yield inorganic Group II-VI Tetrapod Quantum Dots (TQD) is being developed that will scale to produce Kilogram quantities per day. These TQD are notable for their 90+% conversion for full tetrapod shape, equally high uniformity and selectivity of arm length and width (vital for electron transport). Tetrapod Quantum Dots are recognized as having superior characteristics among quantum dot shapes.
In addition, QMC has the exclusive worldwide license to quantum dot printing technologies developed by our CSO, Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, that have wide applications in R2R printed electronics and thin-film solar cell production.
We will discuss how the timeline for Quantum Dot applications is moving from the future to the present.
Been holding since 5$ sold once when it close to 10$
Bought back in at 8:35. Wondering time to sell and wait for another slip.
Should I sell now and buy back on another dip?
Excellent News.
Anyone attending?
Exactly that was chump talk
Thanks for that post Crunch.
We are not asking SS and co to divulge their secrets. That would work against shareholders. Speaking for myself I can say that I have held long. 3 + years. I don't want a pep talk that wont make the stock go up. as I know the risks of investments. I have lost and made money with stocks. As shareholders we should of seen/heard a little from the fabled SS, speaking of outside of q's and k's. A webinar, something to show that they are humans just like us and get a vibe of the crew other than on paper. Building investors confidence wil build marketing and self promotion I think that would be mutually beneficial for management and shareholders.
I am not flaming, the boards have been pretty quiet. It's show time now for SS and co there's oohing left to scratch our heads about I think the subject is covered.
IMHO
GLTA
Yes I invested in a startup over 3 years ago. And haven't seen or heard of the CEO other than cut and paste Filings.
As for management is working hard. I'm sure they are, but I haven't heard telling me so. So if you know something I don't,
Please let them kow that a CEO should surface once a year.
I think we have been more than patient with this play.
if thats the case and no revenue and patent. Still researching and developping.
I THINK ITS TIME FOR THE CEO TO SHOW HE IS ALIVE, IF HE CARES ABOUT HIS INVESTORS. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED FOR A NO SHOW BY A CEO FOR SO LONG.
I say no revenue next report...
What do you guys think?
That's still chump change
What's your point
