BTU...I think that is great that they are developing new metals and such, but it seems like they have too much on their hands with everything else they have going on. I am sure there are endless possibilities with the new alloys, however I agree with Beck and Atl...they need to get contracts and start producing something or everything is going to go down the tubes. If the funding is not looking so good right now and there is not a lot to look forward too, I don't know who in the right mind would invest anymore into this...I know I wouldn't. Not to mention, if they release more shares for new investors who would want to invest in the company, it would only dilute our share value more and tick off investors, unless JB or other company officials sold some of their shares to raise capital for the compnay.
If it is true that Bourque did lose the other orders/contracts...I am very dissapointed. I know the Bourque team could not predict when NIJ was going to come through, but the certification for NIJ has been ongoing since JBIT days...just look at the past PRs. If my memory serves me correct, they announced in PRs several times that NIJ was right around the corner...however it fell through. What says things are not different this time?
IMO, if they do not receive NIJ this time around, it will be devastating. Just thinkg about all the time and money spent on traveling around the country and putting on all the demos that would now have been useless because they have a uncertificied prodcut. It would sure make me upset.
There are also a lot of questions with no answers unless anyone knows?
What happened to?...
1) the helmet they had the news coverage on and demos
2) possible contracts with Colombians or Israel
3) Other plates they brought and tested at demo
4) The "critical" time period mentioned awhile back by JohnII
5) NIJ passing flying colors...yet no cert yet and approaching 90 days
6) Any progress with STRATS...unless that partnership has already been terminated
7) Progress with military...referring to test that was completed by ARMY at their testing facility, or tests performed at the "new" area 51 Dugway? or progress with homeland security.
Seems to me that a lot of good/promising "little bits" of info have been thrown out there, however it either does not appeal to anyone or we just need to give it another "two weeks"
Hoping 2012 something happens...but if it doesn't, I am sure someone will continue to say be patient and things will happen in 2013 and so on, until I am a old and disgruntled investor like some that had held shares of gpgi. Hoping that is not the case
