The facts:
There's obviously a lot going on and we're certainly not interpreting all information as we should be.
1. Clean Coal Technologies Inc. to Be Featured in Business Week Magazine
To be featured doesn't necessarily mean there's going to be an interview or something bigger. An ad is a feature too. There's obviously no lie in the official communication about the BusinessWeek feature. There may have been some lies/misguiding information coming through because of certain people on this board OR the people contacted by them (I'm not accusing anyone here, just showing the possibilities).
2. The company is getting a lot of attention. Whether it is by being advertised or by a 'real' feature, it's getting attention.
3. BusinessWeek isn't cheap. Someone knows there are a lot of potential clients reading the magazine. Could be an ad to pump the stock, but I'd rather think it's a strategy to attract the attention of potential clean coal tech buyers. Which will indirectly pump the stock anyway. But most important; someone thinks the company has great potential. You simply don't pay for a BW ad to promote a fake or a dying company.
4. There's is a lot of efforts being done to move the company up to the upper OTC level. No one would try this hard if it were utterly useless. Doug Hague appears to have a lousy PR skills, but that's a good sign. He's obviously working for the company's future. If he was really trying to get the stock up, he could have done so easily. But obviously he's busy with more important things: selling real technology and building trust to attract real investors.
5. Clean coal technology has enormous potential. Coal is still one of the main energy sources all over the planet: it's still used on a large scale and large quantities of coal are being discovered as we speak (e.g. in Australia). Environmental issues are important, but it is exactly clean coal tech that makes coal as a large scale fuel interesting again.
6. CCT Inc. has reached the end of a difficult and bumpy road. Financial situation is absolutely not what it should be. But that's the past. The technology is ready to be used. They are selling it as we speak. It's only a matter of time before we will see the first PR about any deal. I would think that the BW ad is part of selling this technology rather than an attempt to pump the stock as I mentioned before.
7. Investing is never going to be risk free. Don't blame others for making the wrong decision whether you decide to buy or not to buy, to sell or not to sell, is nobody's responsibility but your own. So don't think I'm trying to drag anyone into buying this stock. I could add a lot more to this list but I wouldn't want to reveal all my information or sources. That would be a very unintelligent move. There is certainly some information out there that would blow the stock right through the stratosphere, but I believe it's much better if a company grows steadily.
