It seems to me there is no way of putting the R/S rumors to bed other than achieving a price of $5 or more so the stock can move to the Nasdaq without one.
I'm not saying this is impossible, but I'm not anticipateing it for at least several years if CTKH became a dominant force in providing ceramic media's of all sorts. Please don't get me wrong, it could happen even sooner if CTKH developed something that others couldn't live without.
What might such a thing be, I certainly don't know, but a breakthrough that permitted CNT flat panel displays to be built to virtually any size might be a step in that direction. Likewise the critical ceramic components to fuel cells that could power everything from flashlights to cars could be another.
Forty years ago when I was in Engineering School two things I remember as being almost a certainty. One was the ceramic gas turbines that would be very efficient when compared to piston engines, they were expected within a decade, 20 years for sure. The other was fusion reactors that would provide cheap, plentiful electricity, that was expected by the turn of the century.
I'm sure that some prototype ceramic turbines have been built, and controlled fusion has been achieved, but not sustained. The key to cheap ceramic turbines involves finding ways to mass produce them. The key to fusion reactors is finding a material that can take the heat of a sustained reaction. In both cases ceramic technologies may provide the answers, but I'm not certain if they're even being worked on any more.
My point is if CTKH made a breakthrough that companies throughout the world were willing to pay for, it could become a giant practically overnight by licensing the breakthrough to others. Let's say a CTKH produced CNT based 50" flat panel display used 25 watts, a 50" liquid crystal projector used 250 watts and a 50" plasma display used 500 watts, if it were up to me, only the CNT display would be legal as we need to reduce our energy use. We might also find that CNT panels are far more energy efficient for lighting than anything currently existing, not only that, but you can control the color as well as the intensity. When your TV or computer isn't in use, you might use it as an additional light source. I gather it's life expectancy will be measured by decades, or perhaps even centuries.
I'm not saying CTKH has these things, but if they did, and if they could do it better, faster, and cheaper than anyone else, I don't think it would take that long to get the price above $5.
