I embraced the idea/technology years ago... perhaps found the wrong company to get the job done... nice to see it (the technology) may still have a potential future.

An honest reply to your question:
My wife has been hounding me (nagging) for a year to sell my DDCC shares. I've held on tight for two years, and like many, I think 2017 has a good chance to make some gains.
Well a guy can only take "hen pecking" for so long... And in a wine induced rage the other day, I said "you want me to sell my F'ing shares!!!.. Here... I'll sell the F'ing things"..
I mistakenly hit the sell at market price, and insto-presto, 230,000 shares went by-by at .001. My bad.
Oh well... One last thing that bitch can nag at me for.
Good luck to all... Wish I was still in .. But WTF, it's just money...

Hey Zip...
I finally decided to eject today after a 50K haircut. Had enough of this drama, and promises and winks from the CEO.. enough said.
Good bye Larry... and good bye MVTG.
Signing off..

The credit goes to Hotstockz not me. I simply followed his advice to visit the Patent website, and I poked around a bit.
Wishing all the best.

In addition to Hotstockz timely find, you may also click on "Transaction History" and see the following statement:
"Application Is Considered Ready for Issue"
That statement on an official government website speaks volumes!

Perhaps a relevant article given DDCC's interest in SA mining.

Good morning all.
Been quietly accumulating over the past month or so, and keeping up to date on this board. Thanks to all for their perspectives. I also believe this company has some long legs, and will see some great growth in the coming year.
I've done my own DD, and believe a $1.00/pps within the year is possible. Not trying to connect dots, or read a Ouija board... simply reading and understanding the facts as presented by the company.
Wishing all the best to DDCC board members.
Happy to be here.

Thanks.... I'll climb back under my rock now...
Pffft...
Great News! More eyes on the Mantra Technology!!
Makes you wonder.. Who is the schmuck doing the selling??
I'm Patient.
Watching the BS come and go... Sub.10?? I think there is room for serious reflection... anything less is dishonest.
MVTG has the patents, has the resources, but for the overall stock market??? You can only blame so much on "the correction".
We know the numbers, we've read the PR's..... what's really happening is anybody's guess.
We as investors can continue to believe blindly, ...or we can continue to HOPE,.... what I think we are all looking forward to is information from the company that will put our minds at ease.
I personally like what the overall sentiment is regarding CO2, Global warming, the US Administrations response...and the world response for that matter, ...but there are a great number of substitute techs begging for attention... and MVTG is only one.
It seems who is the kid in the playground who can yell loud enough to gain attention?? Will he win and gain that attention?..
Will Perfect Tech win over politics?? (the biggest question)
I have no doubt that the MVTG Tech is superior... but in the REAL world... It's not WHAT YOU KNOW, but WHO you have a vested interest in..(who you bl0w)
Waiting to see like everyone else...
I hope the bleeding stops soon...
I found this interesting article today and wanted to share as I feel it's related to the type of research being done by Mantra. I realize it's not the "same", but related and perhaps worth the short read!
http://www.gizmag.com/artificial-photosynthesis-generate-methane-hydrogen/39083/
On another note, it sure would be nice to see Mantra's technology highlighted in Gizmag, or any other popular technology publication....
Cheers
Drugmanrx,
Interesting scenario, and I believe you maybe onto something there. Thanks for perhaps putting some more pieces of the puzzle together!

Big Dad, I respect your opinion... as I do Ecomike...I do not diss this technology, nor embrace with unencumbered reverence.
Much has been done... and roads further yet to be explored?... I implore Management to share a vision that satisfies a peak at what we have in store.... I've had this conversation before ... Larry... remember?
Looking forward to seeing some headway in SEA and US!!
All the best from my side of the world..

Watching the PPS continue to slide this year is in fact, so very,very painful and frustrating, considering THIS was going to be Mantras year(?). And for me...especially painful considering the majority of my shares were purchased +.50 after meeting with the CEO and having personal conversations about the future of the company. In any case, I realize as a small microcap that there is only so much whooping and hollering that can be done, but I sure hope, with the blessing of Alstom, etc., that Mantra can get on their soapbox and start singing loud enough for people to hear!
I believe now (if not sooner) is a great time for Mantra to start the brass band and get people understanding what kind of tech MVTG is promoting... not just standing by like a wallflower hoping somebody will ask them to dance!
I've sent numerous articles off to editors around the country of leading Tech magazines and websites trying to promote the Mantra technology... but seems to fall on deaf ears, as it comes from a retail investor.
I believe in the technology, and I continue to hold as I believe at some point the world will notice there is a viable alternative. Having said that, I also have to consider the two other world changing techs that I invested in heavily... only to watch them be de-listed. <sigh>
Tilting at windmills seems to be MY Mantra...!! but I continue to believe.
The US President is making a full court press to make climate change and green house gas emissions a legacy of his Presidency... and I support him. I hope if nothing else, the posters on this board might make a concerted effort to contact their representatives in Congress... or the Administration... and push for the changes that Mantra technologies can afford. I know I will.

Thanks for all the great DD reference the latest PR. I'm sitting here in Singapore as I read this, and only wish I knew about it earlier!
Was walking about the city yesterday, and wondering to myself if Larry had any deals up his sleeve with the folks here. They are VERY "green" minded here, and the place is oozing with $$$$. It would seem to me if ever there was a place to get the ball rolling with the MVTG tech, it would be here!
Sadly, I'm leaving for Sydney in just a few hours, or I would get outside and start hunting down some info!

Hello Larry... ??? Don't expect response to each and every inquiry.
But can you please help stop the bleeding??
Spouse wants me to sell11111.(ASAP)...I want to believe!? and hold.... but hey YOU're making it tough1 !!! "Hope" is a four letter word that is not an enviable place to invest from!
Response from possible investor's at the Markum Conference... from my inside info...(no $$ till some tangible #'s), please upgrade marketing info.... Mom and Pop Climate change info marketing is cute... but not worth spending a million $$$$ Even for a NASA contract!
Not so good. sad to say... I'm a true believer, but.....
What I'm hearing is this little company has a long way to go.
The "iPad Moment" has come and gone... Can only HOPE buyout options are on the table...
Only stating the truth.. no BS or pumpimg..
Money is on the table....
Blanka, thanks for all your reporting! I believe what you've related via Larry, et al.
I'm still collecting at this level... It's not about "IF", It's a matter of "WHEN"...
GLTA..
Nautiflyer....
Micah, thank you for your input. I agree with most all you've stated.
I'm "guilty as charged" when getting excited about share price, etc.
In my heart I know Larry, I know the concept, and I hope for a better future that perhaps Mantra can provide... It's only one, of a hundred small companies that has set its sight on a greener future. I'm betting Larry will come through, but I also appreciate an opinion that gives me a chance to take a step back and reflect.
We all need a chance to reflect... Maybe even "fall out of love"... But like any relationship... The best one is one you're willing to walk away from...... But choose to stay.
PS. The share price today means little to me... Hence, my infrequent post... But I still have faith and belief in this technology.... So I will acquire when I can... And believe that my money is going towards a greater future, and a much happier retirement when that day comes!
Eco, just a thought... I read the FB post, and the linked article.
Doing some serious "Tea leaf reading"... I suspect maybe Mantra was introduced to the work Inventys Thermal Technologies was working on ref. the "removing of CO2 gasses".... Perhaps they ( Inventys) had a "better" idea, and Larry decided to try and marry the "capture" from Inventys, and the work Mantra is doing to transform CO2 to formate salts, etc.
"That business potential has led venture capital firms like Vancouver’s Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital, Chevron Technology Ventures and Mitsui Global Investment to take a stake in B.C.-based Inventys Thermal Technologies, which has developed a process for removing CO2 from flue-gas stacks at one-third the cost of conventional technologies."
Just a thought.... And a possible combining of cutting edge technologies that would prosper for both??
Trying to think outside the box...
Cheers.
I think young Mr. Dodd needs to learn what a razor looks like... and use one appropriately. He is.. "the face of MVTG" to well appointed clientele. Other than that... a well made video...
Agreed Gantor, and looking forward to greater developments and prospects in the future with the proposed technology.
I believe this is just the start...
Keeping on track with the business plan is essential.
Cheers.
"Mantra had a very positive response and developed several fruitful relationships at last year's Marcum conference, and are pleased to be part of it again," said Larry Kristof, Mantra's CEO. "We are especially excited to be able to show off our MRFC demonstration at the conference."
Please read the last PR carefully...
Many are getting over excited about a "vehicle"... but the PR only states "MRFC demonstration". No mention of a vehicle or otherwise...
Larry, I wish you and company well... the sad fact is you and company are desperate for funding.... and it simply is not showing up.... despite road show, after road show...
Yes, I've talked to many regarding last years attempt at funding... seems no one wants to commit at this point.
With all my heart, I want to believe in this tech... along with the 200+ folks on this website...
But let's be clear... suggestions of MM manipulation, otherworldly collusion, and fraud.. I simply can't believe..
It's time to pay the piper.....let's produce a product, or be honest... that things aren't what we hoped...
At least bait the hook... and provide us with some tangible threads on which we can base"hope"....
<"HOPE">... not a very good prospect for investing..
All the best
NF
with respect...
Swan,
My thoughts exactly.
Apart from the FB posts by Larry from OTHER sources... I see nothing coming from the mouth of MVTG regarding the promise of the Mantra Technology. It bothers me greatly.
Despite many apologist on this board who gleefully claim they will continue to acquire at a lower share price, personally I'd like to see some reversal soon!
The shares I've bought were at various prices, but needless to say... I'm way underwater... throwing good money at bad at this point is counter productive without any viable news.
Larry, you read this I know... throw us a bone or please update us on the last "update"!
I truly thought we had seen the lows for this pps last week... I loaded up and got ready for further investment to lower my overall investment cost today, and ...
watching the continued loss of value today.... the lack of media and social awareness as produced by this youtube video... I have to say... I'll wait...
Because without some sort of Mgt intervention... I'm sure I'll get the shares at a greatly reduced price in the future... and for that... I'm truly sad...
Larry, let's hear from you.
NF
Jeff, I'm sorry, but I personally have not heard anything further regarding contacts in this part of the world. Larry would be the correct person to ask.
NF
Your correct Supi, I apologize for wording that first post poorly. I was focusing on the "purchase of assets " in the stated countries, ie. Canada, etc.
NF
Perhaps information or updates on the ERC could have been delayed due to the pending acquisition?
"CRH said it was buying assets mainly in Europe, Canada, Brazil and the Philippines and the deal, if completed by mid-2015, would add around 25 percent to underlying earnings in the first full year of ownership. Some 90 million euros of synergies -- net of implementation costs -- would also be achieved in ..... "
Food for thought?

Hmmmm? A MRFC powered Blimp!! What a "Great Idea" for a "Good Year"!!
Basket... "If I only had my childhood to live over again"..
I'll be short and blunt...
I've met with Larry and others in the company... I would not stake my reputation or my money if I wasn't 100% behind this guy. Yes,... The technology is still out there... sure... some may have some questions... but when you sit, man to man with a guy and ask all the appropriate questions ... when you are satisfied that the past is the past... and the future has the potential to to change, and revolutionize the energy world.... if even in a small niche... this stock has the potential to go well beyond what few here even hope for! I'm not pumping... I'm here to see this through for the long haul... because I truly believe.
NF
Unbelievable potential Eco!! You are right.... Taking fuel cell technology to the next level, MVTG is definitely in the drivers seat!!.. While huge lumbering corps "start to look at aging tech" .. ie. Airbus looking at hydrogen fuel cells.... Yawwwn!!
What is going to drive this market is REAL innovation and drive towards the future of fuel cell technology, and MVTG has the RIGHT players, the RIGHT tech, the RIGHT timing to bring this all to fruition!!
Hey, wanna put two and two together?? Look up Chorus Motors... The amazing tech they've put into their new electric motors, and combine that with what Mantra has to offer!??
It's a game changer, and this is just ONE of the industries that will benefit!
Keep discovering! MVTG and the Mantra team have what it takes to blow the comps out of the water!!
Stay long... And enjoy the ride!!
Eco,
You are "preaching to the choir"!! in a good way!!
Getting the message out to all, be it Middle East, Canada, US, or China.... MVTG has the TECH, the PATENTS, and PERSONNEL, to take this to the next level....
This will explode sooner than later!!
Good bye pennies!
Yes, perhaps you should go back and do your homework! It has been refuted a number of times on the MVTG ihub board that this was a simple communication issue and nothing more... Good try though... still trading in Canada...
Peachman,
I'm in your corner! I believe the 10-K will provide all the information to snuff out the naysayer's, and propel this stock well forward of our hopes!
The technology is awesome... the potential is unlimited.. and most important... the right people are on the playing field working for us!!
The brilliance and efforts of so many working for the MVTG goal is amazing... and these web posting only scratch the surface!
The fun is just beginning with regards to the PPS... but more importantly... a new age is dawning with regard to the fuel cell technology... and we are on the leading edge!
NF
Ecomike,
I think you're "spot on" with your assessment on the different types of fuel cells! Hydrogen may have it's place... but honestly, it seems "old school", and the tech that MVTG brings to the table now is a GAME CHANGER!!!
I just reviewed an article where Airbus is looking into fuel cell technology to power parts of their next gen aircraft... sadly they are "missing the plane" and researching hydrogen fuel cells.... NOT a good idea at 35,000 ft!
Hopefully their eyes will be opened when the MVTG technology hits it's stride in the VERY near future!
Perhaps the good folks at Boeing may want to jump in the foray???
http://www.onlineamd.com/airbus-research-fuel-cells-airliners-091314.aspx#.VBaqwOfTj5I
MVTG has the technology... and the patents to see this stock truly soar!!!!
Long on MVTG
Greener!
I couldn't agree with you more! The technology and next generation Fuel Cells are definitely in the hands of MVTG!
Having said that... the applications to utilize an economical and viable fuel cell are endless... I read the following article:
http://www.onlineamd.com/airbus-research-fuel-cells-airliners-091314.aspx#.VBaqwOfTj5I
Where Airbus is now looking at the prospects of using fuel cells in their next generation aircraft! They have recently partnered up with a company in South Africa to do some research on using Hydrogen based fuel cells... a three year deal.
Personally, I'm not very game about carrying around a high pressurized Hydrogen canister on my aircraft... and it would seem the idea of a low combustible formic acid fuel tank to power a MVTG fuel cell at "near room temperatures" without a pressurized tank... seems a much better route. Additionally the weight would be much lower, increasing the fuel saving on long haul flights.
Mantra's headquarters based in B.C. Canada is basically right down the road from Boeings biggest factory in Seattle... perhaps a few well placed calls and some engineering notes could put Boeing, and MVTG, YEARS ahead of the competition in this arena! So many prospects and opportunities! Long on MVTG!!
Kinda silly watching this manipulation by MM's... Can't wait for Larry to get us off the OTC and get some respectability ... Waiting for a NASDAQ listing soon...
jH,
I can appreciate your attitude regarding fluff and PR's.. but would hope that as an MVTG investor... maybe we could lend a helping hand and reach out to the many "Alt Energy" websites that are out there and spread the news! What does it hurt?
Daily I read blogs and websites that espouse the virtues of Hydrogen Fuel cells, etc... perhaps a concerted effort on our part to get the Mantra name out their will help?
I'm not saying we'll see $2, or $5, or $10... I'm saying I believe in this technology and the good people who are working to make it a reality... Perhaps in our "spare" time.. WE... as investors can spread the news through this gigantic world wide web... and make us more noticeable.
Just my humble opinion... and yes... I post on several blogs... to get the word out... I hope you would do the same as a concerned investor.
No Fluff... Just the facts......

I was reading the NY Times article this morning:
"E-Bike Sales Are Surging in Europe"
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/19/business/e-bike-sales-are-surging-in-europe.html
Article was written in Berlin...(also talks about China).. two of Larry's favorite stops, and where MVTG has new offices (at least in Berlin).
Then trying to piece together the Dr. and Dr., Mr. and Mrs. Gyenge... and the "prototype vehicle" being developed... and was wondering if it was too far of a stretch that we could be working towards entering this type of vehicle technology?
Bosch, one of the leading maker's of E-bikes in the world has it's Headquarters in the Berlin area also I believe?
And Larry's next trip is back to Germany...
Just thinking out loud, and wondering if this is all part of the puzzle...
I'm open for discussion.

ERC and MFRC are the future... The potential is exponential to the investment, and with the signing on of prominent scientist and Engineers... I believe it is clear.... This IS the company to be associated with going forward!
