Now that we're getting all warm and fuzzy about first impressions, I guess it's safe to stick my toe into the pond again.
Here's where I am coming from. I want to use whatever resources I have to accelerate our getting off fossil fuels, for the sake of my kids, also to make a killing in the process, for which I am willing to wait, as in "hold" my stocks.
Sometimes while doing DD I see the possibility of synergy between two technologies, and invest in both of em. The name "Pete" should have given you all a clue that I am up to speed on the latest.
I must say I didn't appreciate being called "uninformed" a while back, merely for asking some hard hitting questions. Presumably, being "uninformed" is the prerequisite for wanting to inquire?
re solterra/qtmm, I have two points to raise.
Squires strategy seems to have a chance of success for another reason not yet mentioned on this board. A number of analysts in the past year have shown that there will soon be a big overcapacity in solar manufacturing. Meaning that some players will go down. Why build new, when you can soon get whole plants at liquidation prices. I am talking about structures, frames and assembly jigs etc of panels, not the solar collection media themselves.
Second, and don't shoot me. I have been following this stock for many months, but can't bring myself to buy yet. The "stealth" thing is a big turn off. But the main thing is that there is as of yet no patent....merely an application...with many other players in the nano game, who might step up and challenge the patent. I'd love to be corrected if I am mistaken, I'll call my broker asap and buy a big chunk.
Another niggling doubt is stated in the patent application, that is the disclosure that 3M company, which partly funded the qdot research at Rice, may have a partial claim to the patent. Any info on the status of that would be appreciated/
My conjecture is that the reason Squires can renegociate his deal with Rice is exactly because the patent is not final yet, and that foot dragging is advantageous for the reasons mentioned above and that Rice can't enforce the deal because of the patent not yet being final. I repeat this is only my conjecture, and I stand willing to be corrected.
So I invite y'all to have a dialogue, based on facts, with me, and we might all benefit.
RE: PETE check out google and find that there is one company on the big board who controls almost all the world's supply of Ce mineral. Once again synergy is possible, both in technology and investment.
Y'all have a good day.
