Everything you read on seeking alpha should be taken with a huge grain of salt. It's one persons opinion, and usually from a person with an interest in a stock. The same day often finds 2 seeking alpha articles on completely different sides.
The last time they hired a promoter they paid them in stock, and they proceeded to promote the heck out of it for a couple days so they could sell the million or so shares they were paid, and took the share price down to the 4 cent area.
Promotion will do nothing. A revenue announcement, and not some cryptic statement that excites a few here but means nothing to the outside world, or a joint venture with a real recognized company will move the share price. Short of that, the stock will continue in the limbo it has been in.
Triluminous does not mean quantum dot.
From Forbes magazine review of CES 2014:
"Sony had several new Ultra HD models, along with some high-end HD models. Most feature Triluminos. Last year, that meant quantum dots. This year, apparently that’s not the case, but so far they’re not explaining more than that."
"Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company"
can you explain the context of this statement..thanks
From that website, the context is easy to explain. The first question basically is asking about the work environment, and he is stating that it is a good place to work. The second is saying he does not think the company will be around much longer. He is saying you will like your job, but you may not be employed for long.
I've heard it in more than one place and seen it in a couple.
From:
http://hdguru.com/sony-2014-tv-lineup-ultra-hd-4k-triluminos-and-more/
"Sony’s 2014 TV lineup includes more 4K TVs, and more TVs “Triluminos” tech.
There will be three Ultra HD “4K” model lines for 2014. All include Triluminos. Last year’s excellent W900 had Triluminos, but that TV used quantum dots. According to a Sony rep, this year’s TVs don’t use quantum dots"
You can still buy a Q dot tv from Sony, but they are not 2014 models. Sony is all but dead in the electronics area (except for games) They have lost billions of dollars and are now spinning off the tv business and will probably sell it off in a few years. My guess is eventually Sony will be like Zenith, RCA and Magnavox, name brands that once dominated and now exist in name only.
Not really a surprise. Sony was their main customer and Sony has given up on their Qdot televisions.
Please, nothing ever drives the cost of the medical business down.
Maybe I'm mistaken, but to me the "I hope we all didn't just get screwed" statement was a fear that the company went under or got delisted since Scottrade has an issue with them, not that it couldn't be traded in BC. One person brought up BC and then Wooferwax mentioned the Scottrade issue, and somehow they merged down the line. They are not related.
The Scottrade issue has nothing to do with the BC ban, neither I nor wooferwax ever hinted that it did.
Which makes me ponder whether the Scottrade glitch and NITE not being on the ask is related. Maybe NITE is down and Scottrade uses them so Scottrade cannot sell this right now, or possibly the permanent seller has a Scottrade account and can't enter an order today, thus giving NITE no reason to post an ask.
I don't have that symbol on my account but something strange is occurring. I tried to place a sell order and it would not go through, telling my that either my price was too high or i didn't have enough shares. It did accept a buy order at 2 cents however. Since it would accept a buy but not a sell, that's telling me it's a computer glitch on Scottrade.
It still shows up in my Scottrade account, although it is listed at yesterdays 6 cent close instead of its current price unlike the rest of the stocks in my account. (though the others are not OTC so that could explain that)In quotes though it does list its current price and bid/ask.
The company put out a PR to announce funding for the small reactor on 2/6. Now, only one month later, we get a PR that purchase orders have went out. Realistically, doesn't it make sense that those purchase orders were for the small reactor?? If they had to put out a PR to announce the funding for the small reactor, don't you believe some announcement would have been made to announce the funding for a larger one, which one would assume would require much more funding?? Purchase "orders" is a bit ambiguous but to me just represents equipment ordered from different vendors, not for multiple reactors. Like Big E, I hope I'm mistaken, but looking at it logically instead of through rose colored glasses, the situation is pretty clear.
If it was the large reactor, why are they now saying revenues are expected at the end of the 3rd quarter?? That makes no sense if the small reactor is in place. Also, if it was the large reactor, wouldn't you expect an announcement of funding?? We had a funding PR for the small reactor, you would not expect the same for a much larger purchase??
It does not go any farther than that. Here is the info on express patents from LANL:
Express Licensing for Patents
Upon receipt of the Express License Request Form and Commercialization Information, LANL will review the information submitted to ensure that it meets our Express Licensing Requirements. If your request meets the minimum requirements, LANL will send an executable copy of the License Agreement to your company for counter-signature, as well as an invoice and payment instructions for paying the License Issue Fee. The License Agreement will become effective upon execution by your company and payment of the License Issue Fee. There is a one-time non-exclusive license issue fee of $7,500 USD, an annual license fee of $500, plus two percent (2%) royalty on sales.
Vajus is an fool for the most part, but he's right that many treat this stock like a religion, and you are the high priest. There is a reason the stock is at 6 cents, and that's because it's highly speculative and therefore very risky. Yet you treat this and make others believe it's nearly a sure thing. I put money here because it has a chance to payoff and it's money I can afford to lose. A lot of your converts cannot say the same thing.
"The DOE decided to license their technology to QMC and if you think they desk with a company before doing their due diligence then you are a fool."
The DOE license is an express license. The DOE does not look at anything in this instance. Give them 7 days, 2%, and $7500, and you Crunch can license the exact same thing from them next week.
I'm sure you called them yourself and they all raved about QTMM, but no vetting goes on for an express license.
Wrong again Big E. Mr 200 shares trade hit the ask at 6.6 cents, not Mr 100 shares. They "invested" $13!!
Yep tweedle dumb, that PR which basically is given to any company who asks in return for acknowledgement was mighty important.
Still waiting for those carbon credits and that big Saudi deal you told everyone here was just around the corner a couple years ago.
I swear if Steve put out a PR saying they were going to lunch at McDonald's, you'd be on here saying they were about to announce a deal with them.
Displays will come, but they are not coming from QTMM in the immediate future. To date we have sold exactly zero dots, and you expect a display company to be the first to sign a contact?? The company has repeatedly stated that they expect initial revenues to be small and to come from the micro reactor. Those are most probably revenues tied to a medical field. Hopefully in the future we work with displays, but it's not happening first and it's not in the immediate future.
My stance must be ridiculous since I'm just basing it on what the company says. They have repeatedly stated that their first revenues would be small. They have also stated that they hope to get revenues from the micro reactor. A micro reactor will be used for small specialized batches, not for a large display maker type order. They just received funding for the micro reactor, and at the present time do not have funding for anything else. They company has repeatedly said all this, yet I'm wrong when I state their first revenues won't be from a display maker??
There is no way we get any display money in the immediate future Free, so I don't see how you were right. Management has stated that the first (if any) revenues would be small and would come from small quantities made by the micro reactor. That most likely means the medical field where they've been aiming for awhile. You have been predicting Qdots in every iphone since at least the iPhone 4, if it ever happens you'll see at least a 7 or 8 after iphone if QTMM is involved.
There has been no manipulation. This stock has traded on huge volumes over the past week, manipulation does not occur with those volumes. The volume seems to be drying up now so it should level off between 3 and 5 cents.
It could be any number of things. Maybe someone has inside info, or someone got tired of the wait and poor stock performance, maybe it was a margin call caused by the overall market, or most likely to me at least it was the funder dumping some of the stock they probably got at a huge discount. We saw this exact scenario go on 6-12 months ago when they gave away some stock for a PR, remember the million shares traded the next day. Funding is nice, but until the company proves to the marketplace they have a viable product, the stock price will not appreciate.
"From WSJ article. Sony likes them dots better? "
More likely they are going to abandon making tv's all together. Samsung and to some extent LG are crushing Panasonic and Sony in that market and it is destroying both companies. Neither company has the money to compete with the Koreans without putting their entire company at risk and they are so far behind it does not really make sense to try. Panasonic makes the best plasmas in the world and the best tv's for the dollar, but they are losing so much money trying to compete they threw in the towel a month ago.With Panasonic withdrawing from the market, the joint effort with Sony made no sense.
They never said anything about 25 NDA's with companies. They said 25 NDA's. It's a fairly safe assumption that at least some if not most of those were with academics or other individuals not affiliated with companies.
Why would you say something like that BigE. It's been clearly pointed out to me that we are in a great position and we will be selling those dots any day now, even though we have nothing to produce them with nor the money to build a processor.
"Yes we are protected, and even if they managed to develop a similar process we will be so far ahead by the time they perfect it QMC will be well established with a superior dot"
Right, because of our vast spending on R&D.
Oh that's right, we are not spending much because we have nothing to spend.
We've supposedly had the ability to mass produce for years, and to date we've produced NADA. You really believe that other companies with resources immensely greater than ours will not develop other methods. And who is to say we have perfected our process. To date you have mass produced as many dots as QTMM has.
Time is not our friend. We can't just sit back and wait for the market to develop. If we prove we are able to mass produce, we can develop the market. To date, at least according to the stock market, we have not proven a thing.
Clearly most sales reps work on commission, but does QTMM even have anything to sell at this point???
Besides, Dr Bob's job was not sales, and it will be difficult to attract anyone to fill the position without the ability to pay them. Besides their "sales manager", I believe Bob was the only person employed at QTMM who had the job as their main career position. Everyone else works full time elsewhere.
The problem is indians want a paycheck, and QTMM doesn't have any that are not made of rubber. Chiefs sometimes work for a title and future benefits, indians need the cash.
Unless he's not leaving on his own, it's a pretty clear sign there is no contract or sale announcement in the near future as he would not be jumping ship at that point. Rats jump off a sinking ship, not one headed to port.
His $500 buys twice as many shares than he would have had at 8 cents, and at the rate we are going he can double his share count again at 2 cents pretty soon.
It is OLED related, but again even as someone not in depth in the field, I know of at least 3 companies that have multiple roll to roll patents in that area. If I know of 3, there must be many others.
I think sometimes people here see dollar signs when they hear roll to roll. That's just nonsense.
No. There are so many roll to roll patents out there that anyone saying this or that belongs to any one person or company likely has no clue. If they were using a process QTMM was involved with we probably would have heard about it.
The short term lease agreement is pretty standard for a university based incubator facility. I'm personally familiar with similar facilities in Ann Arbor and Chicago and they use one month and one quarter agreements. Most companies in these facilities disappear within a year or so, some merge or get bought out and a few go on to bigger things. They are called incubators for a reason, companies (Like babies) are not supposed to live in them for long.
If they had positive news in the near term why would they pay for last weeks video?? This company has very limited funds, I cannot believe they'd spend money to prop up the share price near term if they had something else that would do the job for them. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my common sense gut reaction.
You have to quit using facts and logic here BigE. All you are supposed to do is either cheer or stay away. Anything else makes you a basher.
I've yet to hear a single one of the points BigE brought up be disputed. The video was a puff paid for PR piece probably issued to solidify a share price that is dripping away. Like it or not, the company sells shares to support itself so it is in their interest to stop the price slide. I doubt the video by itself attracts any new money, but judging from the reactions here maybe it reassures some people already in, which is almost as good. To me the one worrisome thing is I doubt they would pay for this if they had anything else in the near future to help the stock, which makes me think that there will not be any revenue or deal news in the foreseeable future.
The only really perplexing thing is why someone bought a couple hundred shares for 7.6 cents today. Why place a fifty dollar stock order??
The vast majority of shares today went at 5.2 cents, which is about where we've been for weeks. The scary thing is that while BigE is right in that the big sellers seem to have departed, so have any buyers. At the close the bid was down to 4.5 cents.
Yep, "vetted" appears to be the new mantra around here.
And I notice how when Duke wrote Star Park, they replied back that QMC was in their incubator facility and was working on developing their tech. There's nothing wrong with that, it's what some here have stated, but someone here has repeatedly stated we are not an incubator company and are ready to sell as soon as the market is ready. I guess the bosses at Star Park who "vetted" us didn't get that memo.
Nope, just being honest.
I bought a small position here around 2 years ago at around 10 cents and doubled up last year at 6 cents. I viewed it then as I do now as a lottery ticket, if they succeed it will be worth a lot but most likely it's throw away money. I have a couple stocks up over 100% in that time and almost everything else is up, and this is way down. Don't you think others have seen that in their portfolios too and decided to sell?? Until a sale is announced, no announcements of new labs or hiring of employees or attendance at trade shows will move the stock price, no matter how much some others here pretend it will.
The problem here is that some have convinced others this is a sure thing and some people here have thrown their life savings in this. There's a reason we are at 5 cents, and it's not manipulation. Some people have endlessly posted the same rosy nonsense for three years,but until we see a sign of market acceptance of their product, the stock price will continue to slump.
It's a pattern, but where is the manipulation?? As you yourself have pointed out recently, this company has claimed to be on the verge of selling qdots for years, yet they have never materialized. The sales may be just around the corner, they may be months or years away, or they may never occur. Until the market sees some proof that a sale will occur, there is no reason for an outsider to buy, and people already in must get sick of seeing the market move higher and higher as this sinks away.
And before you know who says it, waiting for market to develop, only 3 years, only 2 kgs, vetted, dream team, et al.......
"Denise don't worry the people in the know , know already"
If the people "in the know" cared and/or believed, we would not be sitting at 5 cents, as some of them or their companies would be buying stock at this price.
The one thing I will agree with is that a table is a luxury they cannot afford right now. Since it's Art's home town and he's clearly not busy making sales, they may as well have him passing out handouts.
