Might be a requirement of their lease at Star Park that they have to sponsor a certain dollar amount of grants at the University. I know I've seen those types of requirements at incubator sites at UM and CWRU.
Please, QTMM doesn't care what what is said here?? They hired a PR guy whose main focus seems to be this board. He gets his points directly from this board and I'm not sure anyone outside this board ever even sees his "reports." QTMM has a marketing director whose only qualification is that he was a leader on this board.
A decent percentage of their open float is held by people on this board.
This company does a PR when they send out samples, and you don't think they would PR a sale of a few grand??
LOL, I find it ironic that the people who recognize that this is a very speculative play are constantly criticized here while those who say things like we have the best dots and this is safer than the DOW get the kid glove treatment.
Of course he can keep them, they are his shares. One of the sticking points when he left was he wanted to be able to sell everything whenever he wanted, the final agreement limited his sales to only 50K a month so as to not the hurt the share price.
That list is so old it is beyond ridiculous. I worked with and later owned stock in one of those companies and they went bankrupt almost 10 years ago. That's more like a list of any company who has ever made a lcd for any device.
You are probably correct, maybe those qdot televisions that LG is selling lose red after a week. I'm sure none of their customers would have noticed such a minor thing.
LG's OLED investment has been long known and expected. Most of it is for small displays such as cell phones where OLED's are starting to dominate and continue to grow. Up to now, Samsung has been the only company with the ability to mass produce small OLED's, that's why the LG investment was made. It could also be in hope of supplying oleds for the next generation of iphones, since most analysts predict that is where Apple is heading.
FYI, Samsung is putting even more money into OLED fabrication. The success of the S6 Edge has put the spotlight on foldable and bendable displays, and right now that's OLED.
As for larger displays, LG makes both OLED and qdot sets. They have achieved a lot of success in bringing down the cost of the non 4K oled displays but so far the 4K displays still produce too much waste to be profitable. As long as that continues, expect LG to maintain both qdot and oled televisions.
Apparently LG missed the memo that Dow was unable to supply red when they signed on the dotted line. It will be interesting to see how those LG qdot televisions are selling since they don't have red. I wonder what they call them, since they aren't black and white and have every color but red, are they blue, yellow, black and white and everything but red tv's??
When were we measured up against anything?? We have a JDA, that's not a final approval or a sale. As far as we know, the company we have a JDA with has one with every other qdot company. We come "out on top" when we have a sale. Until then, we are at least in the game.
I'm sure everyone at CSTI is scared of a stock that did about $50,000 in total sales today.
CSTI does not in any way have any ownership in NANO. I don't know how to make it any more clear. They are not the boogeyman.
It's a qdot television. A review of it can be found here.

We will see revenues when we see the word sale, until we see that word I'm guessing it's more freebies. Just remember how excited you got last year when they used new wording for samples and you were here screaming about our first sale. It wasn't then, and I doubt it is now. This company issues multiple PR's for buying equipment, so I expect them to scream about their first sale from the highest rooftop.
You might be right. It could be the Posners again or it could be profit takers from last week. No one ever went broke taking profits.
I'm just pretty sure BigE's negative vibes didn't cause the selloff.
"Anyone know what CSTI's position was and current position is in Nanoco?"
They used to own none, and they still own none.
Caanacord, which bought CSTI a few years ago, acted as an advisor and investment bank to NANO when they did an offering years ago. They did not then nor do they now own any of NANO.
Now, I have a question for you. Why, when the price goes up, is it the market reacting to the greatness of QTMM, while when it goes down it's "gaming"?? It's not gaming, it's selling. For months on end we hear about the evil shorts holding us back, then we discover it was the Posner's selling. People bought in on the momentum last week, and the momo players are selling since it stopped. It happens with every stock that does up fast for no reason. Until this shows real revenues, no upward moves will be sustained.
Quit being so negative BigE. You know NANO got screwed making a bad deal with LG, we have proven we will never sign a bad deal. NANO needs revenues to survive while we have proven we don't need them. If we don't get displays we can get lighting, and if we miss out on that we can get solar, and if we don't get that there's bound to be something else coming soon.
It will take the time it takes.
If we signed a deal with Dow or PPG tomorrow, you, me, BigE and heck even Free if he's not on the government no fly list would be buying our tickets to Hawaii.
Only you Solar could take that PR apart and ignore the line that as of right now gives NANO a huge advantage.
"Orders for cadmium-free quantum dots will continue to be satisfied from Nanoco's production facility in Runcorn, UK, until the time that the Cheonan plant enters commercial production"
I know you want to ignore that, but that means NANO already has orders and customers. Yes, they will send out samples from a new plant when it's operational, but THEY ALREADY HAVE ORDERS AND CUSTOMERS. They partnered with DOW and built the plant in Korea because they have a customer to actually pay for their product. You may not realize this, but having a paying customer means you are farther along in the product cycle. Notice the wording "customer sampling", as in someone who already buys from us is sampling. There is nothing unusual about sending out sampling from a new facility for approval while orders are filled in older facilities. It happens everyday in industry.
Look at it this way. If QTMM ever has a customer and then buys a new reactor and sends out samples from it, are you going to ignore their current and past sales and say look, they are just now sending out samples?? No, you won't say anything about it. QTMM still is waiting for validation by the marketplace. Until that happens, we certainly have not passed anyone.
If you keep up this negativity, you are going to lose your membership in the Cult of QTMM.
Play nice.
The problem is you are comparing Samsung's budget Qdot tv, the 7500 model, to the OLED model.
The fair comparison is the 9500 model, which is on sale this week for $5000 (regularly $6500)
There is an interesting article about the annual best television review held at CE week in NYC last week. Four companies (LG, Sony, Samsung and Panasonic) had their best tv's calibrated and rated by both video pros and the public. Pros and cons for each were reviewed along with an overall rating.
http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/LG-s-OLED-9600-UHD-King-of-TV.shtml
They acquired them on 12/2/14, almost 7 months ago, so I doubt anything is "in the works". One thing to note is this does not seem like an open market transaction. Two different people, but both transactions took place on 12/2 for a total purchase of exactly $25,000 combined.
Google didn't bet on anything, it's an advertising campaign and LG is paying Google for help designing it and running it. If Samsung comes to Google tomorrow and hands them a large amount of cash, we'll see a pr that Google is leading the charge for quantum dots. (of course it would then get reposted here a dozen times)
You missed that. That was a few years ago when Apple was set to put QTMM Quantum dots into the iphone 4
And then the 4S
Then the 5.
I don't remember hearing that for the iphone 6, though I'd guess it was here.
I'm not demeaning anyone. You just admitted the form 4 could be good or bad, yet your initial post was "another great sign". The endless cheerleading gets old once in a while. If you took it personally I apologize, but this board needs a dash of realism once in a while.
Who knows?? Maybe years or a decade or so down the road there will be a need for continuous flow for solar, but there are not even any small scale commercial solar uses for qdots yet, and those will surely exist and be well tested before any company needs a continuous flow reactor.
Right now in the Qdot evolutionary cycle they are going into displays, and hopefully QTMM is trying to sell their dots rather than sell reactors no one needs or will want the headaches of dealing with.
Why exactly would any company want a drop shipped reactor. We are talking about creating a final product in which transport costs and storage costs will be almost less than negligible. Add in the fact that any labor used in producing them would have to be very specialized, and you have a product that makes no sense to produce on site. They can ship enough product for tens of thousands of TV's via fed ex to anywhere in the world for the cost of a pizza and a beer.
The article is fine, I have no problem with it being posted and wish we'd get more like it. It's your ridiculous hinting that the dots are the cause of the issues the TV has. If you hint LG's problems are caused by poor dots, then since Samsung's TV's are getting good reviews shouldn't all display companies go to Samsung for dots, since clearly the dots are the key to the good reviews?? Somehow I don't think you will agree with that, and you shouldn't because there is a lot more to the picture than the qdots. LG threw this TV on the market before they were ready so they would have a product available between their 4K oleds which are still a couple months out and their low end LEDs. I doubt this model is on the market by the end of summer as LG recognizes the issues.
And for dock, 2 more!! Go Cavs!!!
LG gets their dots from Dow, but their is no reason to think the dots themselves have anything to do with any issues the TV has. As the article itself states, LG is all in with OLED and this is their first attempt at a Qdot tv. They did not put nearly the resources into it that other companies have and they themselves state this is just their initial attempt. It's also more of a budget unit, Samsung's efforts have been uber expensive and should review better.
This is an example of the sometimes ridiculous rose colored glasses on this board. If the review was great, it would be posted as great news as another example of the success of qdots. Since the review was bad, it gets posted as great news because other qdots are failing. The truth is the review has almost nothing to do with us either way.
Freegrass does not have internet access where he is most of the time now. The continued daily rise of OLED may also have crushed him emotionally.
Please.
Last month we heard for days on end that this stock was being shorted and held back. Then we got a filing from the Posners detailing all the stock they sold, which explained all the so called shorting.
There is no demand out there right now for this stock, which is why anytime anyone sells it falls. That will change if they ever announce a deal.
do not discount paranoia either.....
Either way it does not really matter what screen the G4 uses. OLED owns the small screen space and the only reason the G4 isn't OLED is that LG does not have the fabrication volume available for small screen Oleds. Many analysts have Apple using Oleds in their next generation iphones and ipads, Foxconn is currently building the fab space for them. The display battle is in the larger displays, the question is whether LG can continue to lower the price of Oleds enabling them to compete. Most videophile reviews say the LG oled TV's are the best on the market but there is no way they can succeed at their current price point.
Why even ask??
We wait.
No matter what happens, some will say another day closer and others will point out the company predicts that revenues will be seen at the end of the fiscal year, no matter what year.
I'm waiting. I expect nothing and hope I'm wrong.
I didn't say anything positive or negative about the 33% discount, why would I when it's what I expected. I would have liked a little less of a discount but 33% is not out of the norm for an OTC. My post was referring to your post stating how wrong many here were in predicting 6 cents or less and what a great job we did getting 10 cents. No one predicted anything that low, if they did I and others would have attacked it as ridiculous.
That's why a guessed a dime, but no one here was guessing 6 cents, that would have been 2/3 off which would have been ridiculous.
Actually no one guessed a number that low, but why let a fact like that get in the way of an argument. My guess given on 4/8 was a dime, which ended up being spot on. That was still a 33% discount to the share price at that time (and this time too)
An hour ago you stated "IMO QMC would not in any way get involved with that site" and now it's that they did 2 years ago but QMC has no current promotions with them. Which is it??
There are no current promotions that we know of at this time, maybe one will be revealed soon. Maybe the past promotion included an agreement to mention them in the future. Who knows?? What we do know is that that site is nothing more than a paid promo site, and that anyone looking at their promotion of QTMM as an impartial endorsement of the company is fooling themselves.
Why not, this company has done paid promotions like that before. It gives a bump to the stock price which matters if they are trying to raise funds. That site certainly does not appear to be one that does any actual research into the stocks it picks.
Give up with the shorts. There have been 6 trades in this all day long. It's not shorts holding us back, it's lack of any reason for an outsider to buy right now. If the company announces a deal, people will jump in, until then the Prs about rules being broken and free samples sent begin to lose importance unless you have already bought all in.
Months, years, decades?????
I don't believe the price of oil has had any effect on QTMM and their strategic planning. Solar has been on the back back burner for years, one look at Solterra's website last updated in 2011 should make that clear. Almost every PR for the last 2 years highlights usage in the display sector. Face it, this company has very limited resources and can't compete across the board. Oils large fall happened last fall, by then their was no sign that the company had any current solar plans. That may change if the company finds a windfall of cash someday, but until then Solterra is but a name. (Except to demdots)
