I'd love it, so I can load up another mil shares. I've got the $3019.99 ready: the best investment of my life!
When will we get the tm for GKG?
the good news... and the bad one being a delay/problems with their production. The very good news is that they are going to begin selling them and that they forsee a market of 1 billion by 2015 or is my interpretation wrong?
Great find, thx. Go for a great year POSC!!
yes, it shows 0.0049 after hours
perhaps the increased buying vol is from people who have some inside information on new contracts or deals
The correct dates are: Nov 2008 - it reached an intraday (not closing) of 25cts, and one day in Dec 2009 a vol of 1,030,335,688.
Sorry for the slight error, otherwise the data is correct and the point of the question is still unanswered.
and I almost forgot: as somebody here pointed up the market cap of less than 3 million is almost an insult to this stock or perhaps nobody has noticed that the cap is ALMOST EQUAL TO THE BACKLOG. Does it means that this stock is selling for a fraction x earnings.
What would be the fair price of this stock at a conservative 10x earnings???
Some odd tidbits about MCLN stock:
curious about the high volume the last few days I did some looking up and came up with the following:
In Sept 2009 this stock traded as high as 25 cents! - at that price my investment here would be worth close to 1/2 a million $.
Later on, in Nov 2009 the highest volume traded was over 1 billion shares in one day! This is strange to me because the total number of shares outstanding is about 800 million - so it would seem that somebody bought and sold shares more than once during that trading day. Am I correct?
What seems to be certain is that high volume heralds a steep change in price, either higher (hopefully), or...
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, Nanotechnology, 2010 to 2016
http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2010/12/16/5198491.htm
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:16122010 Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/48af43/direct_methanol_fu) has announced the addition of WinterGreen Research, Inc.'s new report "Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, Nanotechnology, 2010 to 2016" to their offering.
This new study on Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Market Strategy, Market Shares, and Market Forecasts has 279 pages, 66 tables and figures.
Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as a new generation of portable electronics has need for longer power on times. DMFC is positioned to provide longer power on times with rapid refill of charging liquid. Units are expected to reach cost parity with thin film batteries by the end of the forecast period. Demand for more portable electricity is coming with the increased use of broadband cell phones, laptop computers, and tablet PCs.
According to Susan Eustis, the lead author of the study, the use of DMFC is a breakthrough for portable energy delivery. Throughout the forecast period DMFC miniature fuel cells are expected to be able to enable consumers to talk for up to a month continuously on a cellular phone without recharging. Fuel cells change the telecommuting world, powering laptops and digital handheld devices. Personal digital devices work for hours. DMFCs run longer than batteries. The fuel is abundant and available.
The single largest direct-methanol fuel cell (DMFCs) market driving force is that devices can be used in airplanes. Approvals came after safety standards were in place. The International Civil Aviation Organization and the US Department of Transportation have allowed methanol fuel cells and their cartridges to be carried in the passenger cabin of airplanes.
This means air travels will start to buy them. The convenience and the longer life for power is a compelling advantage. To keep an executive, manager, or service person working while traveling provides an increase in productivity. Software engineers can work more productively while commuting.
Fuel cells run on methanol, an inexpensive alcohol used in windshield wiper fluid. This DMFC market has as the earliest adapters users of laptop computers, particularly for the military. These users are dependent on mobile electronics.
Electronics needs to operate in the field for long times and needs rapid recharging. Military applications, enhanced cell phones and other hand held devices lead adoption of DMFCs into the consumer markets.
Small portable devices are well suited, in terms of storage, safety, and energy density, to use of methanol as a fuel for fuel cells. Direct hydrogen feed for fuel cells requires complicated storage and would take much more space in small portable devices.
There is also the safety issue of compressed hydrogen being allowed on airplanes. Cartridges of methanol can fit into existing retail channels or be available from OEMs. Methanol cartridges could be available through any number of delivery channels and accepted without difficulty into the consumer market.
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) market forecasts indicate markets at $65.6 million in 2009 are anticipated to reach $1.1 billion by 2016. DMFC will account for 85% of the portable fuel cell market by the end of the forecast period.
Key Topics Covered: 1. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Market Description And Market Dynamics 2. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Market Shares And Market Forecasts 3. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Product Description 4. Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC) Technology 5.

Grass-based fireplace logs allow for green winter coziness
FANTASTIC REVIEW OF GREEN LOGS FROM GIZMAG WEB SITE!
http://www.gizmag.com/grass-based-fireplace-logs-have-low-co2/17134/
pls: look at the picture of a hangar full with green logs inventory! 1000;s = millions for us the shareholders!
As winter tightens its icy, gloomy grip on the Northern Hemisphere, many of us are turning to our fireplaces or wood-burning stoves for physical and psychological warmth. Unfortunately, however, burning wood releases carbon into the atmosphere – a conundrum for people who want to minimize their CO2 footprint but still stay warm. U.S. company VIASPACE Green Energy, however, has just started selling a product that it claims will provide customers with fire fodder, while being almost carbon-neutral: fireplace logs made from compressed Giant King Grass.
VIASPACE’s Green Logs are made from grass grown and processed at the company's facilities in China. They incorporate a natural wax binder and fire starter, light in less than three minutes, burn for up to five hours, and are said to have a heat output similar to that of wood... but how are they low-carbon?
“If the plant is burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere,” CEO Dr. Carl Kukkonen told Gizmag. “However, it is exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide that was removed from the atmosphere during growth, and the next crop will absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide.”
Trees also absorb CO2, of course, but they grow much more slowly than Giant King Grass – whereas a tree takes decades to reach maturity, the grass can be harvested every four to six months. Kukkon admitted that fossil fuels used to process and transport the product do add some excess carbon to the atmosphere, but the same can be said about other heating fuels such as wood and coal.
“We believe that Giant King Grass can play a very important role in clean energy for the world,” he said. “Green Logs are a first product and the place where we can touch consumers directly. Giant King Grass can be burned in power plants to generate clean electricity and can be used to produce nonfood cellulosic biofuels such as ethanol and green gasoline.”
The first shipment of logs is mainly going to retailers who want to see how the product sells, although some cases are available direct to consumers on Amazon and eBay. Unfortunately, they're not yet quite as cheap as wood – a pack of six 5-lb (2.27-kg) logs will cost you US$22 or $29.95, plus a substantial shipping fee.
I also like Dr Kukko's response:
VIASPACE did not contribute to the
video. Nor does management know who produced it. We do not endorse its contents.
However, we do wish that we could have helped defeat Hitler and we do want to
promote world peace."
nice touch, K.
the relevant passage from this article:
Toshiba and Samsung have been working on the laptop to cancel the traditional method of lithium-ion batteries. The new fuel cell using methanol as a fuel to generate electricity through chemical reactions with the use of lithium batteries Toshiba laptop own production company, compared, 50CC of methanol can be used continuously for 5 hours, more than double than lithium batteries. In addition, another benefit of fuel cells only need to fill the fuel, rather like a lithium battery that recharge.
Samsung to improve its direct methanol fuel cells for a smaller design. The fuel cell?s length, width and height have narrowed a few inches. The fuel cell now appears next to the notebook configuration is almost the size of extended battery pack. Samsung said the new fuel cell can still make laptops run a month. Although fuel cell hp probook 4510s battery, hp probook 4710s battery technology has made progress, but we also need years to launch a commercially viable fuel cell, perhaps we can see the laptop when the 30th anniversary of the new R-series powered fuel cell slightly.

A container of Green Log™ fireplace and campfire logs was shipped from China and is expected to arrive in the US in mid-November
Kukkonen continued, "I believe that Giant King Grass exceeded the expectations of the potential customers that visited the plantation. Seeing is believing. No customer has seen an energy crop that is anywhere near as productive as Giant King Grass. Furthermore, our agronomists are very familiar with switchgrass, miscanthus, Arundo Donax, sugarcane, bana and elephant grass. Giant King Grass has much higher yield in terms of tons per acre than any of these. High yield means low cost, and this is the main attraction for customers, along with reliability of supply."

Global Nuclear Medicine Market to Reach US$1.69 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
(see near the end) GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Nuclear Medicine market. The global market for nuclear medicine is forecast to reach US$1.69 billion by the year 2015, driven by huge demand from the US market. In addition, ·developments in image-guided interventions and molecular imaging, as well as aging population will provide further impetus to market growth.
San Jose, CA (Vocus) October 21, 2010
Nuclear medicine is one of the fastest growing and most promising segments of the medical imaging industry. Nuclear medicine comprises of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through the use of safe, painless, and cost-effective techniques. The technology provides functional as well as anatomical information, and is found highly beneficial in diagnosis of organ function abnormalities, cancerous growths, cardiac diseases, neurological disorders, blood flow blockages, and dysfunction of any major organ. The procedure faces immediate competition from alternate methods such as Magneto Cardiography (MCG) and Magneto Encephalography (MEG), although on the whole, the impact of these methods remains restricted in terms of widespread acceptance. Over the last few years, there has been a heightened level of R&D activity aimed at use of nuclear medicine in diagnosis and treatment of serious and incurable diseases. Some of these areas coveting medical attention include Parkinson's disease, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, autoimmune disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), among others. Gamma cameras and PET scanners are the most widely used imaging equipment in nuclear medicine, whereby the market is experiencing a marked shift to hybrid PET/CT imaging from PET-only imaging. This transition is driven by use of the technology in an expanded variety of clinical applications.
Advancements in imaging technologies that help diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as aging population is driving demand for nuclear medicine equipment. Proven efficacy of technology, reimbursement approvals and improved supply and distribution of radiopharmaceuticals, are expected to drive market growth. Greater use in applications such as cardiology and oncology would positively impact the market in the coming years. Technological developments in PET/CT scanner technology is also expected to generate greater revenues as they promise excellent market diffusion for cancer detection and therapy planning. Dedicated positron emission tomography equipment is expected to exhibit strong growth prospects compared to conventional imaging modalities. In addition, the growing number of new application areas such as neuroendocrine tumor imaging is expected to establish SPECT/CT as an important technological tool in the area of nuclear medicine in the near future.
The global market for nuclear medicine systems experienced steep decline in revenues in late 2008, as a result of the worldwide economic downturn. Decrease in demand from US, the most influential and mature nuclear medicine market worldwide, was one of the major reasons for the revenue decline. The medical imaging systems and equipments in the country were not used to their fullest capacities and did not yield the required revenue gains. Apart from these, factors such as saturated western markets, low reimbursement rates and government-imposed restrictions in certain countries like China played a major role in sustained slowdown and decrease in market growth for 2008-2009. Nevertheless, the world market is expected to stabilize as the economic downturn retreats in 2010, making way for replacement sales and growth in PET/CT procedure volumes. This would be mainly driven by PET/CT scanning benefits in oncology. Developments in technology and novel clinical applications meant for imaging modalities are expected to drive growth in the nuclear medicine market.
The nuclear medicine market is highly dependent on the US, one of the leading demand drivers for the technology worldwide, as stated by the new market research report on Nuclear Medicine. The region garners the single largest share of the worldwide market, trailed by Europe and Japan. In terms of fastest growth potential, Asia-Pacific, powered by China, India and Korea is forecast to exhibit the highest CAGR through 2015. The PET Scanners segment represents the largest segment in the global nuclear medicine market. However, the Gamma Cameras segment is projected to drive future growth, expanding at the fastest compounded annual rate for the period 2007-2015.

Much obliged (thanks).
dear Mr Carnac
would you care to elaborate what's form 4
for the uniniciated like me?
I've seen Schedule 13/d a another unknown to me.
my hopes are dashed
my gut's destroyed
my b. p.'s up
my fav, fab stock way down!
but tom's a new day and we're due an announcement - I'm still a believer!
You're dar right - somethinG BIG'S COMING UP. sOURCE: GUT
way to go fellow American!
where is lackofcash? - his last post was 10 days ago! -ASK now 0.0125!!
and now... ASK= 0.012... not bad for a day's trade
unusual high volume... anybody with level 2 access?
somwhere I read that they expect to sell rather over 100 systems next year. A PPS around 0.50 seems reasonable!
Agreed! How can a company with such strong sales has such cheap PPS? - look at this PR from July 8, 2010:
Ask 0.0119 - Volumne (after less than 1 hr trading) 694,700
the feeling: something BIG's cooking up!
