Again, you read what you wanted to and not what I wrote
People start companies to save the world everyday. They have dreams of being the next Bill Gates AND saving the rainforests at the same time. BUT, and this is what I said, companies are not started or go public solely for the benefit of the general shareholder (i.e. you and me). I was referring not to Squires' vision for cleaner technology and making the world a cleaner place through q-dots. That's a fine business plan. But what I was commenting on was the idea that QTMM went public solely to make investors rich -- like some sort of Robin Hood.
Right here you have summed up what I've been saying:
"But the benefits of his goal and vision is that
if Squires is able to achieve his goals,
with the T-Quantum Dot and the solar panel"
There's a key word in there that my whole pessimism, if you will, is based on. It's a small word but one that all penny stocks are subject to: "IF"
Nearly all the contributors to this board must have a different definition of "if" than I do. "If" does not mean "when" or "definitely" or even "probably".
This whole sh$t storm started because my definition of "if" has a strong dose of skepticism at this point.
I have no doubts this technology is better than juice boxes, sliced bread and corn dogs combined. But the funny thing is, is that the more I (or anyone else) questions QTMM here the more we get bombarded with technology articles. Or articles about the academia connections(i.e Rice U, etc). Including your response which focuses on Squires' technological vision but not so much on distribution or revenue streams.
I'm pretty much over and on board the technology. I'd like to see more discussion on revenues, sales.... you know, the business end of this company.
The dots aren't going to sell and install themselves.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm IN with some $$$ like the rest of you. I'm waiting, trying to be patient, because every week there's "something coming soon" or "just around the corner" or "any day now". The more people build my anticipation the more impatient I get. Like a good thriller, the suspense is killing me.
I'm not trying to bash this thing to short sell, I'm in long. I'm certainly not a naysayer -- I've got some cash riding on this. I simply voiced a small amount of concern and impatience and kind of got roasted for it.
Like bsullivan, I may just check out for a while and check in again in a few months. That way my hopes won't be built up to the point of frustration with all the "soon.... it'll happen soon".
