"My Job" is a figure of speech, sorry if confusing - I wasn't born in Amerika, learned English at an age later than optimal, so occasionally I may use words incorrectly.
$23-24/share
Live & see my words come true Spring + Summer 2018.
Don't ask how I know, my job is to post a fact.
Yes "10K" Report is due out soon, and what I heard on the phone from their Lawyer/Corp.Counsel at CNBX's Maryland office, it sounds similar to info posted here by "BigFred".
Whatever.
Report or no report, Iam NOT happy with the slow motions.
No Iam NOT selling for "Tax Deduction" reasons as many people are at the end of year (Nov-Dec2017), not a chance - the opposite, I loaded today on $14,379 more of CNBX !, yes I lost intraday but I know $2/share will come, except - excuse me, our patience isn't infinite.
The company needs to work faster & especially create joint ventures with more established, big pharma companies.
Last time I did call them (Maryland’s phone#, left Voice mail, got a callback from Mr. David, their Corp.Counsel) & stock rallied +18cents next day, maybe a coincidence but... maybe it's worth bothering them from time to time - else, at this pace it'll be Summer 2018 until we see $2, $4. Patience is important for traders (ask Warren Buffet about it, the King of Patience!), but this kind of patience is too tedious - life's too short.
And while 52-week range is 44cents - $7 DOLLARS, I kind of expect February 2018 bring a new spike nowhere close to $7, perhaps $3-5/share, dueto a certain cyclical process (I cannot post here).
But February 2018 will certainly be a big spike, as it happened in February 2017 (this year, remember when new States legalized Cannabis?, soon California will and February 2018 will repeat history).
But even as close as February 2018, Iam not happy... life is short.t
Now what? $0.9 again?
Everyone call & leave VoiceMail or poke them otherwise, their office in Maryland USA + israeli office.
Last time I did, it rallied +18cents next day, maybe a coincidence but... maybe they need a periodic "wakeup call" form angry investors - else, at this pace it'll be Summer next year until we see $2. Patience is one thing, but this kind of patience is too tedious - life's too short.
The word "Fruition" became so abused in investors' lingo, it is now almost equal to "fleecing".
The only business that Baltia will "bring to fruition" is someone celebrating next holidays behind bars, but my greatest hope you guys receive some $ COMPENSATION
I've sold my awful shares of BLTA this Summer (half-year ago) but tempted to visit this board occasionally for a laugh or two.
"Baltia Airlines"... sounds like Zimbabwe Aerospace.
Good luck!!
$54 MILLION ! Worth of GE stock was purchased a day ago by GE's top exec/Director Mr. Tisch, at approx. $18. Pales "mere" $1 Million bought by CEO Flannery this week (Mr. Tisch is CEO of Loews & also a member of GE's Board of Directors). The news came after market closed 2 days ago.
Very good behavior, from GE's Board of Directors, Iam impressed. It was about time for owners to step in & buy back huge amounts. I wish I could buy that much.... but i only afforded $41K, having bought approx. 2K shares earlier this week.... $54 Million for s single man in this few days - means confidence, perhaps.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
Until today I thought GE was a scam, a little "mom's & pap's" shoddy storefront, but NOW I discovered GE is so huge, it can't fail. Well, government won't let it fail.
I mean GE? It's like CocaCola or DuPont.
I didn't know that!
And you all took my $5/share "advise" seriously? Nobody has a sense of humor on this Board?
Strange!
It will be $23-25/share. Think Iam unrealistic? WELL, WAIT & SEE late January 2018. Something good will happen, but I won't elaborate.
$23-25/share
Do stockholders get a discount for upcoming air ticket sales to fly Baltia? I need a trip ASAP to see my Big Foot dad in St.Petersburg RU.
The wait time has been rather long. Not like it was 29 years, but even a month is long & I might as well book another airline, like Zimbabwe Jones suggested.
BOTTOM WILL HIT $5/share. It's inevitable in just a week from now. Sell your whole position NOW.
This is Enron/Worldcom.
GE won't exist after December 2017.
Trust me - Iam an expert.
Baltia's 1st class TICKets go on sale this Monday, maiden flight is to Lyme CT, piloted by Big Foot & Dawggy Dogg.
2026 was already stated.
Nobody stated that certification will be granted before 2019, but 2026 is he official date.
if you waited for 28 years, why give up now when just 9 more remains?
Remember, tough times don't last, tough people do. Tighten that seatbelt, inject all your savings, 401(K), kids/college accounts and go longer on BLTA. May force be with you
BIGFRED1, here is a suggestion:
You can simply Google for "CNBX, Twitter, -CNBC" (minus CNBC causes Google to exclude CNBC news netwrok frequently confused with CNBX stock), or simply Google for:
"CNBX, Ttwitter" - and you'll see their tweets, WITHOUT any need ot open a Twitter account.
I think they're tweeting under "Cannabics" or "CNBX" nickname, e.g.:
https://twitter.com/cannabics1
And I don't see any novel information there, it's almost same news as they distribute on OTC Market, and I don't even care for Twitter, it's more like propaganda/self-promotion.
For me most important thing this week was talking to their live people, not tweets, not PR, but key people. Once done, I won't call them again. It's real company, real product pipeline, etc., etc, no insider speculation/selling, just doesn't have areceptionist and proper communciation with investors, but my Voice Mails were answered, and that's all I needed to know. I guess share price went down along with Jef Sessions remarks this Summer, but so did ALL MJ stocks, it will rise. In fact it has risen aleady to 0.86-0.9 the past weeks, but I need to see $2 to stop criticism and calling them.
P.S.
I neither have nor plan to start a Twitter account, just b/c someone posted whatever. Iam not following the "herd".
Started on MySpace in 2005 or so (?) and Usenet/Newsgroups in late 1990's, I've been around early & too long, I remember when Internet was good (composed of Academia/Research & Universities, Military, Government). Once MySpace reduced from world's Number One social site to "ashes", and Usenet/newsgroups became highly specialized (still active, just not popular amongst kids), I decided not to open any new social accounts.
i cnanot tranfser past life & start over, & connect to new people. That's like crossing the same river twice... not exciting, rather mundane.
So I just Google for tweets & refuse to open accoutns at Twiteer & facebook. My old MySpace account & people are still ironically alive there, just smaller.
My mom who is obviously older than me, opened her Facebook and excitignly showed me this or that feature, and Iam like... well, I am younger by 18 years but I've been there on Social netx back in 1990's, done that, been there. Don't want anew.
Almost 50 now.
My father is even afraid of computers, specifically of mice, almost 80 years old but kicking around, running and was engineer/project manager.... so anyone can get around Twitter 7 facebook's incesstant desire to add more accounts.
NO spellcheck today, busy, typing fasstttt!!
Only 5500 shares of "insider acquisition" ?
is this a joke? Iam a small VERY SMALL guy, with modest salary, not an institution, I even struggled ot pay rent in some years.
And yet even I got 3,000 shares
5500 share, big deal! They should buy-back 55000 shares! FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND. 5500 is a drop in an ocean. GE is a huge company, it needs to start buyign back its stock in seriously large quantity, to help itself and us. Else, multiple Class Action lawsuits are looming.
TOMOROW WE'll FLY - TICKETS GO ON SALE "SOON".

Here is another explanation of why Israel, as strange as it is, became the epicenter of research into Cannabis:
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-04-11/israel-is-a-global-leader-in-marijuana-research
Although dated by Spring2017, still holds true.
I SUSPECT, it's because started by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam. In case you don't know who he was (and I didn't know until watching a show on PBS, back when I lived on Long Island NY in 2012), he was THAT scientist who first discovered key chemicals which make you feel the way that Marijuana does, even Wikipedia has it now:
P.S. There's some weird affinity between Jamaican & in general rastafarian reggae artists and this. It always amused me how 2 totally disparate groups could converge on one topic of Cannabis.
Anyways, here's a bit of info of who was Dr. Raphael:
"
An organic chemist and professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. Dr. Mechoulam is best known for his work (together with Y. Gaoni) in the isolation, structure elucidation and total synthesis of ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main active principle of cannabis and for the isolation and the identification of the endogenous cannabinoids anandamide from the brain and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) from peripheral organs together with his students, postdocs and collaborators
"
Bigfred, I don't know significantly more than you, I just say:
1) I lost patience & did call real physical people at the company, earlier this week (both Maryland US & Israel) and simply confirmed it is what i thought it is. Not a bogus.
IP (Intellectual Property) is what they produce, in plain English research/R&D, and why wouldn't it make Millions in this new world where IP is worth more than manufacturing? It's 2016, not 1926 or 1986 even. As of volatility, their Corporate Counsel/Lawyer David told me that it's what stockmarket is by definition - I might as well go play in Las Vegas and hope to win every play.
If I hoped to see a steady rise in my portfolio on stockmarket, with zero worries & little return - just invest in a CD or high-yield bank savings account and admit you can't handle the stress of stocks.
With a LONG-term horizon, Stockmarket rarely makes you lose, (unless you invest into some joke like BLTA or Namibian spaceships).
David plainly said they don't control volatility, there're no insiders who sold recently, and they're moving forward with patenting MULTIPLE patents, including first with USPTO, then other countries (USPTO happens to be nearby in Virginia, I used ot live in Maryland and was once even invited for a job interview at USPTO).
And then he admitted they're bad with updating investors, posting news, etc. regularly about which he even yelled at the Board of Directors. They run labs and research facility in israel simply b/c it's still semi-illegal in the US to research Cannabis & israel happens to be a homecountry of that first scientist who discovered key chemicals within CMD
Iam not a Bio/Chemistry-related, but am an Electronics engineer with added 3D/mechatronics experience, coming from theoretical Physics roots. And know EXACTLY what it means an "IP company". In fact much of my life worked for small agile Hi-Tech businesses whose value was mostly in Patents.
HECK, for example do you know why Google bothered to buy Motorola Mobility a few years ago (later acquired by Lenovo)? - for their PATENTS PORTFOLIO, not for their "hardware"
Intellectual Property aka "Know How" is our generation's economy.
Iam not sure why you worry someone else will "make Millions" if CNBX is producing Patents related to treating cancer with phytocompounds found in Cannabis?
"Big Foot" is eagerly awaiting to get approved for an emergency loan, to go even longer on BLTA.
America's newest airline is making sure a new economic route to Vlad Putin in MosCOW & St. Petersburg is opened.
If you waited for 28 years, why would to give up now that only a few months left before lift-off!
EVENE Elon Mask, Warren Bluffit and britney Fox are addingt to their BLTA positions, longing to get longer
GO BLTA!
Seriously $24-26 maybe not, but I calculate target at $23-24 for January2018. This is GE, I don't even have time to explain. This isn't a little shoddy company with "expected products" pumped up like SnapChat that helps people waste time stupidly, or some start-up that sells on hype like NutaniX while STILL not producing ANY profit & offering ZERO divident and yet it trades higher.
This is GE. Dividend is cut but we don't own it for dividend alone. Dividend stocks are a super-minority, anyway, on the market.
No way this great 125-year old company will remain on its knees for too long - it's too large to fail.
We calculate $23-24, maybe $25 by January2018... blame us if it doesn't come true
I hate the word "Mania" - in ref. to your post, Captian Scotty.
This isn't a game. Some people vested a huge part of assets in this stock and it wasn't mean to be "Las Vegas'.
Iam not in this stock for "Mania", etc. speculation.
Maybe you seek a thrill, bit I seek a MODEST TREND upwards as their R&D medical research gets sold to other - bigger pharma companies.
I don't know how old you are, but Iam 46 and don't play "mania". And I have a normal job, besides stocks.
This (Cannabics Pharmaceuticals) is a company of MD's & PhD (i.e. highly educated people), they just fail to work within American system where P.R./appearance, etc. are also important. News, news, news - they're not updating us enough.
This is why I became angry seeing it stangant for several months & made a number of calls to CNBX's Israeli & Maryland US headquarters, then verified with SEC there's nothing fishy about this slide from $2 to 65cents/share, OK we recovered to 90cents today, but NOT ENOUGH.
Sooner or later big pharma will buy it, as one example already a few months ago "SIMFO GmbH" of Germany started buying CNBX's IP, but still small & slow.
I'll sleep better when we return to $2.
Meanwhile, expect swings - perhaps tomorrow, after today's run, some people will decide $0.90 is good enough & sell some, up & down, but overall trend will be upwards. At least I found real researchers at CNBX & assurance from SEC. I feel better now that it is a real company with real MD's & PhD's submitting patents and creating joints with bigger pharma, biopsy research, etc....
I have GOOD NEWS - somewhat?
CNBX:
After several months of fear - since Iam an individual, not an institution who can afford losing big, last night I went to bed with a firm decision to call Cannabics' both Maryland US + Israeli offices and find out who is who & whether this is a real company. My fear was stoked by their Maryland phone NOT picking up twice I called a day before, leaving angry VoiceMails. I couldn't sleep this night, was up at 4AM PST (2PM Israeli time) and called Israel, left VM, then Maryland at 7AM PST/10AM EST.
Long story short: Iam an Engineer (RFMicrowave electronics), also besides tech./design functions, did many customer.support cases so I know how to "get to people" - emails/websites doNOT work as good as old-fashioned in-person & phone convos.
To my surprise, today I got a call in response to my angry VoiceMails about stagnant stock - caller was David, their Corporate Counsel/Lawyer (who deals with SEC?). Turns out, they simply don't spend money on a receptionist of sorts and apologize for not taking phone calls promptly, but they returned my Voicemails. And they admitted being horrible at Public Relations/posting news, etc. because they're SCIENTISTS. Company doesn't/won't make revenue from "manufacturing", but from IP - Intellectual Property.
This their Lawyer David is himself aware of how good product is and yet how bad P.R. is, he claims he even yelled at Board of Directors for not posting updates of this business. They focus on research, filing patents & selling said patents.
As I worked for small R&D Companies prior, I know what it means - in science not much 'screaming PR" can be generated, it's more quiet than selling some commodity or Walmart, so turns out they're a REAL company focusing in selling IP (Intellectual property), e.g Patents, etc. Has signed some joint deal with Germany's "SIMFO GmbH", recently.
David PROVIDED HIS PERSONAL DIRECT office#, besides the generic# posted on Cannabics' and told me if I ever need to ask more - he allows direct calls (but doNOT ask me to post his phone# as I'd consider it bad manners, instead you can call/leave Voicemail on their main office# - leave your # if you like to talk to companies in which you invest).
He also warned me, Stock Market being what it is - a high degree of gambling mixed with certainty, but the company is real, mostly Scientists who are not good with publishing P.R./News, they're basically "nerds" - highly educated Masters, PhD's/Doctors, so now I worry less.
The lack of PR is simply lack of being "American". But the company is real.
I know what "IP Company" means - i worked for novel RFMicrowave Low-Noise amps used in quantum computing, and yes you can have a revolutionary/new products) coming up but not good letting INVESTORS know of progress.
They're also aware of a former member of Board of Directors, who separated years ago but continued posting personal attacks on Itamar Borochov - typically expected from a disgruntled employee esp. at top level (similar to Divorce :)), that weighed stock down but it happens & it was years ago. Heck, I myself (Sr. Engineer) separated from a company I posted a few negatives about it years ago, when I was younger, understood less, was less-mannered; that happens in numerous companies & CNBX isn't unique - someone leaves and posts on the internet "he said, she said" complaint. But it has no relation to company’s being real and its products being patented as per plan. That joint venture with Germany’s SIMFO GmbH (http://www.simfo.de --> is in German, click American Flag in topright corner to goto English version) is encouraging and first in a series, they also told me 2-3 years form now Canadian market will fully open, whereas in US 29 States still list it illegal and Sessions will go.
So I’d Hold &/or Increase position while it’s cheap. Remember, stock market has a gamble component, expect ups & downs but CNBX is NOT what i feared it was before this week. I found real live people, i did my research & contacted SEC. I’ll keep my investment in it, it’s not Apple or Tesla but it’s a good investment for those who can’t afford expensive stocks and bet on more dramatic returns.
I sleep better now with investment in Cannabics CNBX, but for sure they need to updated Investors better and bring it back to $2/share range sooner than later.
Not everyone has patience of a stone.
Iam getting old. This is not a fake or joke post - I doNOT care what you think, I thought it’s my duty to post today early morning even though it took my time & Iam super-busy at work...
Has ANYONE CALLED the Company?
I called both Maryland USA + Israeli phones, left Voice.Mails.
Then I messaged thru their website, but phones/in-person communication is more effective. Wanted to know who is selling inside the company, I understand they won't answer such a "blunt" question but I wanted to poke fear into them.
because it's getting tedious - still below $2.
P.S.
Contact is (obviously) at their site: www.Cannabics.com:
US office: Bethesda MetroCenter, 700 Bethesda, MD:
Phone: 1-877-4242429 (by the way, I lived near Bethesda for 3 years, but now in NewYork)
Israeli office:
Phone: +972-3-6589991 (if calling from USA, obviously first dial "011" US exit code)
Iam not buying "dips".
I just hold my $23,000 position. Iam perhaps an inexperienced investor given start not so long ago (Christmas 2016, so a Year), but as an engineer/someone who works with math/physics, thought if I buy a significant # of shares at today's ("dip") low price - it may stay that low and wouldn't help. I buy when I see a slight upswing.
The past 4 business.days I just hold, and predict February-March2017 will reap us harvest.
By the way, anyone who buys GE (General Electric TODAy/TOMORROW & perhaps a few days afterwards, will be a big winner after 19th January 2018. Too bad I've no money to buy GE, as Iam dealing with a house purchase & life in california is expensive.
Anyways, back to CNBX:
Filing a Patent claim with USPTO is what it is - a beginning, an application, but NOT a patent granted yet. Takes government/bureaucracy months before a company is issued a patent with 17-year term of protection, typ. (longer in music/motion picture/arts industry).
And CNBX accumulated multiple patents claims n pipeline.
Iam an Electronics engineer and I saw my boss at our company spending almost $15K/patent application & paperwork/processing before we were granted (RF/Microwave Amplifiers).
I stay calm and would jerk even if it falls to 35 cents/share, it's a CYCLE.
In February $2-3, and target is $4.
It's a long haul.
With a very long time-horizon, Stock market NEVER FAILS, except for extremely truly shoddy fake businesses like shell-companies, BLTA, or WorldcomMadoff style schemes, whereas Cannbics Pharma is a real product, still restricted by regular attacks from Jeff Sessions... until he gets fired by current White House or removed by the next administration.
Too bad they're forced to R&D in Israel with actual company registered in Maryland USA b/c only 29 US States legalized med. Cannabis sofar, but expect all 50 states & Canada.
MEDICAL, As opposed to Recreational use - which Iam against of.
Many "spicy"/smelly phyto-complexes, in plain English smelly plants, have anti-microbial properties as they have no teeth/horns/can't run like animals, so they developed chemical weapons against parasites/insects/animals who try to eat them.
THAT's what works against inflammation in humans.
Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus, etc. and very powerful Marijuana... perhaps too powerful.

New Target is $6/share. TRUST ME. I am so smart.
Then you should sell ;)
Then,
Check its price in February2018 to confirm you made a smart decision back in Nov2017
Same posted on TD AmeriTrade (US Dept. of Energy selected ConEd, GE, & PARC for hardening electrogrid).
But stock won't reflect this good news for months to come. I keep my $72,000 in GE, hoping to reap harvest in Feb2018
What's the big deal, again?
Same news is posted on TD AmeriTrade. One patent and a few increases in share price, doesn't make me as happy as I wish.
I entered at $1.50 or so, and before that at $4 !!
When it rises above $1.30, then my mood would be more cheerful.
They have a product & adding more, they're GOOD at R&D/"brain" work, they're MD's & PhD's (smart people).
But they need Business Developers/"MBA" people to help with administrative tasks OR Big Pharma to acquire them, to recover share price back to $4-6/share.
This is a real Chemicals/Pharma company, unlike several others on the market that cater to addicts and irrsponsible marijuana users rather than Medicine. Unlike those others, CNBX is developing a factually useful, working product. Which is why I hold my $42,000+ in it.
BUT that said, too bad its share price still doesn't reflect its great products..
We need at least $1.50/share to gain confidence, and all the way to restore at $4-6/share it spiked to in February 2017.
Where is $1.50/share? Not to mention $4-6/share?
How can 16 years of CEO be "undone" by a year or so of his latest work?
Interesting how people at the top can do a million things right & work hard for decade(s), but make one mistake as you get older or other event in the final year(s) - and you're remembered for that mistake, not for previous life ?
That's cruel. Say what you say about CEO Immelt, but his life's work is NOT defined by the past year.
This is an enormous corporation, sometimes forces are beyond CEO's control and no I don't blame his past year(s) for the result, you need to be in a position of power or even just a Principal Engineer for some project to understand that little fish, folks with no graps of overlal picture, loves to blame CEO for whatever they can't do themselves at the bottom level.
jeff Immelt did a greta job, for many years. Yes the company ende din bad shape this year, so cross-out his decades of past work?
Simplistic, wrong assumption.
They implied a major progress by moving (4th time moving, in my memory!), from small to big... little do you folks know about a move from nice 60 Davids Dr. Hauppauge NY (#1 industrial park on the east coast at the time, now overtaken by S.Carolina's Research Triangle) to a warehouse-style idle building in Holbrook in Fall 2006, then again across Vets Highway to a tiny creepy place in Bohemia in Fall 2010... I've seen too much of these claims, hopes, moves, "new products in pipeline" in 16-18 years.
Check out BLTA though - 27 years, not one flight... beats AMPG by market cap of $70-45Million, was 70, still is 40+! Problem is dillution, owners paying off debt & paying to themselves made it a 0.5cents stock
Once again Bull's Roar from owner's brother, worrying about own position, not yours folks.
Banal sales pitch.
A simple fix for this stock is to:
Design & mfg. a superior product... then you'd not be BLTA.
Same posted on TD AmeriTrade & CapitalOnd Investing (2)
When will we back to $1.50?
Who is selling recently??
Who the neighbors of AmpliTech are:
If you check the map, or best yet walk thru the area (esp. late evening), at Johnson/Carlough Rd. junction, you'll discover:
A stripclub ("Temptation"), US Marines recruitment, a strange Church under siege by homeless (in daytime), a stenchy bagels factory, shoddy & abandoned buildings, construction, diesel truck parking, etc.
However the bldg. AmpliTech moved in on Johnson ave. from their previous Carlough Rd. is nicely surviving, good looking corporate place. One problem though, claimed as "theirs" it's actually 2/3 or 3/4 not AmpliTech. There're gymnastics, yoga classes, lame "electronics" repair shop, big cellcom antenna spreading cancer, various automotuve shops. But surely, the photo of dark angled windows looks picture-perfect, BIG SIZE. There's almost one engineer there, simetimes half or none.
That's good news, O'Briben.
Tomorrow AMPG starts rising.
I hear breakthru new amps coming out with novel Swage-hydro locks & no longer requiring DCbias - using waterjet instead, with flux-capacitor.
A joit venture with Radioshack is looming.
Great year. More on to come.
I'd say accumulate, buy now before rises to 86cents/share, it used to be, before inertia-effect exodus ...
Because AmpliTech's authority supersedes NIST. Renting 2nd floor of that mixed building, is closer to God than 1st floor occupied by a Gymnastics/Yoga classes.
Bull's Roar
Hi JMD NY,
You're learning quickly that Enrons/Worldcoms can exist in small sizes too.
Of course it wasn't tested, but confidence is King!
If you apply several equations relating NF vs. Tchannel in s GaAs FET, you arrive at his Noise Figures. In theory. Whether this academic excercize survives Liquid Helium in practice (as multi-CTE thermally contracting materials in a HybridMIC, its housing, & feedthrus) - is customer's problem ;) Furthermore, they don't test EVEN Liquid Nitrogen (-201*C) cryo-units, but to be fair -200*C was proven by Miteq & NIST many years ago. AmpliTech can't test s..., at cryo temps - b/c no equipment, although Nitro -201*C is proven anyway, Helium is NOT.
You know what else?
Military requires deep thermal cycling at least 24hours before final Test & Ship, -55*C to +125* or whatever. AmpliTech couldn't EVEN that for all the years, maybe now can who knows.
Anyway, back to 4*K:
My point is Liquid Helium exhibits fundamentally different phys. properties, it's in liquid phase but is a so-called "superfluid" (and can climb walls) & the way these Amps are made in a cheap "facility" is... you're on your own.
My roots in HS were in Physics/Chemistry, before majoring in Physical Electronics at Polytech U. of St.Petersburg & then (straight) Electronics engr. in NY. I know something about Helium, more than st**** PR releases for the masses.
I also suspect Amplitech's proximity to Armonk NY has more todo with IBM's pondering them, than actual performance. Plus, IBM is late. D-Wave and others are current & the future. You're betting on a lame horse if IBM is to compete in Quantum-Computing.
It's really about physical/travel proximity between Suffolk county & IBM's TJ Watson Research center in Yorktown Heights (that circular eerie building at the lake, where by the way I was in 1999 on a 10Gigabit Ethernet project). This is all a joke comparing to the West Coast, Massachusetts & China.
Add to it LowNoise Factory of Sweden (lownoisefactory.com), Japanese, D-Wave, etc. and AmpliTech... is of course better than all, especially since he got rid of all the bad people & engineers.
After all, a parking lot, one assembler & a wirebonder is all there's needed. Why design? You can plug loads of buzzwords (e.g. IoT, 5G, Quantum Computer, Remote-Controlled Pizza-Delivering drones) into PR's for naive investors, & keep on churning out 12-15 year old "innovation". Obsolete as wooden anvil.
Here's an idea - grow engineers in a testtube or like apples, then harvest-hire them while they're still gullible & cheap, doNOT provide tools, engineering software/ computers, lab space, starve them for years as a trial abd only in the final months shock them with amarket salary... or sort of junior level salary.
Makesure to conduct daily demoralizing convos, to teach that engineer how to do their own job, such as proposing 25-year old "solutions" and circuits from 1980's Again, doNOT order parts. Remember, bad cook blames the food.
OK, point is:
There're many MANY competitors with proper products, but what's happening in that Suffolk town for years is continuous plugging the ears of naive investors with Grandiose Plans of plain microwave amplifiers somehow extremely useful to read Brainwaves (0.5-42 Hertz, haha!), WiFi in-flight (Norden Millimeter must be too bad?, treating cancer, etc, etc., and now a new farce - QUANTUN COMPUTING : AmpliTech are getting married.
Lord, help us!
