Hahaha sounds like my friends too...
"Are you rich yet?!"
"Nope."
Lol
I'm only at 1 million so I hear ya!
I've been contemplating trying it out on our floors at work...if it looks and performs better, I will toss the info out to my painter and contractors. My buddy also owns a large Chrysler and RV dealership and loves green technology so I'll show it off to him. He may want to try it in his service departments.
Yeah, same here...of course I get surprised a lot too soooo....
I won't be too surprised if they don't specifically drop a name, but it'd be nice if they could at least confirm a contract is executed, how much revenue it will generate over x amount of time, and maybe state that we will begin to see that revenue appearing by x quarter. That sure would be nice IMO.
A name would be best...but I don't know how often companies drop names in partnerships like this so I don't expect it either.
In one of their last PR's it was suggested that they would be executing a deal expected within approximately 30 days...and that was around 30 days ago.
Of course some people have problems understanding the definitions of "expected" and "approximately" and are getting impatient...but if they are on schedule, news could drop this week.
They also average 2 PR's a month and so far we've only received one this month.
Wooo! NEWS!!!!
...hopefully soon ;)

Anywho, what was the coating you were pricing...is it for coating metal parts, concrete floors, or....?
Just curious...those prices don't sound terrible for industrial coatings. Especially a high performance industrial coating.
I don't think the run has yet to begin...though I wouldn't advise anybody to invest long-term in this. Not with Fong's record. I have approximately $50 in it. That's almost too much. lol
IMO, he was averaging down and he's playing one hell of a gamble...at this point it's go all-in or go home empty handed.
Either he loses his investment or something nobody expected happens and he makes out like a fat rat.
Or to put it simply...he went all-in betting green on the roulette wheel. Lol
Arghhh...my buddy's waiting on his money to hit or he'd have juuuust enough change to clear those .0025s...
He's gonna be pissed when he has to pay more lol
EVTI did that this past year...management 's salaries were lowered to $1. No mention how many shares or how much in shares they would receive or how much in bonuses.
I thought you were leaving.
I agree...not looking good at all here.
What about trying to contact the company and question whether their products contain isocyanates and low voc's?
Their response could offer better clues...if they aren't isocyanate free, we know it's not HCTI's product.
That was the vibe I got reading it too...
I'm new here so still uninformed but they recently expanded into that business from my understanding and that video was posted to show how concrete recycling works.
I don't think anyone was claiming that is their primary business.
Yep, that's what they were doing...very cool stuff!
If concrete recycling is what I saw going on recently, I agree...
They tore down the local schools here (built new ones) and piled all the concrete up until the end when they brought in a big rock crusher type machine on a conveyor system. It busted the blocks up in one process and then the next process busted it up into what looked like large gravel. That all was loaded up into huge dump trucks and hauled off, presumably to the rock quarry down the road. Pretty neat though.
By the way, I did get an email back from Sherwin Williams this morning...nothing of substance just yet. They were passing it on to their Regulatory Department to give me a more thorough answer so hopefully their answer gives us a few more Easter eggs to follow up on.
Agreed...it's important to understand these companies are purely SPECULATED to be POSSIBLE partners and tuning in to their conference calls can lead to a few nice Easter eggs being dropped.
From there, more DD can help us determine the plausibility of a relationship between them and HCTI or if it's not likely.
Anyone who listens to the meetings with expectations of a partnership and ends up selling because of no announcement obviously needs to learn how speculation works...and for all I care, they can take their loss and move on. It just makes our investor-base stronger.
Flipping has never made anyone rich. At least not in the sense of being a life changer. Depending on how much you flip, I can certainly see someone making big bucks but a couple good long-term plays can definitely be life changers. I consider this company being one of those rare companies with the potential to be a life changer. Is it guaranteed? No way. This is the OTC, anything can happen. But it's got great potential based on the DD that's been done so far.
The wealthy versus rich is getting philosophical and I hate philosophy so I'll stay out of that one.
This isn't directly related to HCTI, but this may be fuel for a ban or serious reduction on many more VOCs in the foreseeable future.

Just received automated confirmation email that states I will receive a response within 1 business day. Will update if/when I receive that response. Hopefully they give at least SOME specifics and not a cookie cutter "We take your concerns very seriously and have passed them on to our research and development department" response. lol
Modified my email to PPG's Investor Relations and sent this one to Sherwin Williams...if anyone would like to copy and paste it to other potential HCTI partners, feel free. Be sure to post any replies you get on here...
It's an easy way to get more clues as to who may or may not be working with HCTI and for those who aren't...helps to "name drop" without spamming HCTI all over.

Hello,
I deal with a lot of commercial painting/coating in my business and am very concerned about exposure to the isocyanates and other VOCs in many of my products. Not just exposure my employees receive on the job but also the exposure of others on and around the premises while the product is still curing. I know California is working toward potentially banning isocyanates in the very near future. I also know the EPA is in the process of finalizing a Significant New Use Rule for toluene diisocyanate and related compounds (http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0976) and is expected to make their final ruling in June.
There was also recently a major isocyanate leak in Brazil causing a potential mass exposure (http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2016-01-14/toxic-gas-leaks-from-tank-in-warehouse-in-brazil) and I worry with everything going on in the world, what if that were to happen here? The more I read, the more concerned I get with these harsh chemicals.
As a customer of yours, I was curious, do you currently have any specific plans in place to transition to non-isocyanate and low VOC coatings during 2016? I have read that there are now a few coatings out there that have begun to advertise those particular qualities and am curious if you intend to get on board as well.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Have a wonderful day!
I can agree with that
Oooooooh......so you're saying HCTI has the only zero VOC, non-isocyanate product on the market currently?
That's how I'm reading it...
Sounds like a much safer product than all those other ones currently on the market. Theoretically, that should give them the leading edge, shouldn't it? Especially if it gives better performance, right?
And there are none on the store shelves, why?
Funny thing about patents...it doesn't matter how good your science is or how much money you throw at it, if they can't find any other way of doing it, they're left either pulling their products or paying licensing fees. In that case, it's in their best interest to buy the patents or the patent holders.
I'd guess all talk...
Their main app is supposed to be coupled with a wearable camera and is intended to revolutionize certain parts of social media...if they actually released the setup and marketed it right, it has the potential to generate significant revenues.
...but to date, that system has yet to surface.
I'll give you that...if you can survive through and resolve the convertible debt, there can be a massive restructure and the company *could* thrive.
Sad part is, had they not pocketed all that money and paid just a fraction of it to a couple programmers who actually knew what they were doing, EVTI could already have their patented products out and generating revenue on all cellphone platforms.
I tossed my hundred bucks in at .0012 this morning...lol
I'd spend more but all my cash is tied into another play of mine.
There was a brief reference to proposition 65 in California and how people are changing technologies at a faster than anticipated pace. That was about it...I have an email in with their investor relations people to see if I could get any clarification on what their plans are as far as greener technology goes. Will update everyone if/when I receive a response.
Anything is possible but not likely that far along
Doubling up my shares tomorrow, unless news drops pre-market and I miss out
I think it's based on message board posting activity.
Email sent!
Will post any reply I get here just as soon as I get it
Gonna send this to the investor relation contacts at PPG...
Anybody have any additions/changes I should make to it?

Hello,
I was just listening in on your shareholder meeting and was curious about a topic that was only very vaguely covered, but in my opinion, is very concerning to me for both environmental and fiscal reasons.
In a nutshell, it was mentioned in California that with Proposition 65, people are switching to new and improved technologies faster than anticipated. I deal with a lot of commercial painting/coating in my business and am very concerned about exposure to the isocyanates and other VOCs in many of my products. Not just exposure my employees receive on the job but also the exposure of others on and around the premises while the product is still curing. I know California is working toward potentially banning isocyanates in the very near future. I also know the EPA is in the process of finalizing a Significant New Use Rule for toluene diisocyanate and related compounds (http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPPT-2011-0976) and is expected to make their final ruling in June.
There was also recently a major isocyanate leak in Brazil causing a potential mass exposure (http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2016-01-14/toxic-gas-leaks-from-tank-in-warehouse-in-brazil) and I worry with everything going on in the world, what if that were to happen here? The more I read, the more concerned I get with these harsh chemicals.
As a potential new shareholder of your company, I have the following questions:
1.) With as quickly as the changes are being made to move to greener products, what are the financial repercussions PPG could face if you fail to advance your products as quickly as the consumers are transitioning to greener technologies?
2.) Do you have any plans in place to ensure you stay ahead of the curve?
3.) Do you currently have any specific plans in place to transition to non-isocyanate and low VOC coatings during 2016? I have read that there are now a few coatings out there that have begun to advertise those particular qualities and am curious if you intend to get on board as well.
I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Have a wonderful day!
Yep, they just mentioned Proposition 65 and that people are converting much faster than anticipated
If it doesn't come up today, I'll see if I can get an email typed up for them and will send to whoever handles their customer concerns...I'll bring up the ban in Cali and the recent news of mass isocyanate exposures/disasters. Might be able to get someone to help alleviate the concerns of a concerned customer. :)
I'm not on the phone or I would...lol
