Applied DNA Sciences Inc (APDN)

[2020 hindsight]

I was going to make one more comment (or actually a lot more comments - lol) last night, but I had used up my messages for the day.

In my earlier post #8904, when I said "So lets say the iPhone app was in the equation last year at this time, and some of the big boys took notice and decided that APDN could do very well (with their help), and decided to invest in the company knowing what was coming down the pike in a little over a year."

Investment was meant in more than one way. It could be a monetary one, but it could also have been an, "I'll scratch your back if you scratch my back." type of one.

For instance, let's hypothetically say a couple of people in Washington who had the power to actually influence government acquisitions thought that botanical dna was a great idea, but just needed a little help taking off. And once it did, they knew the monetary rewards would be GARGANTUAN (thanks for the word johnsyn. ) especially if the government "mandated" its use.

So hypothetically, people in their position could go to APDN and say, "Hey...we can help your product and company take off, but, we would need something in exchange for doing that (i.e., company stock, nice campaign contributions down the road, etc.)" APDN says, "Hmmm....sounds a bit unethical, but we know how the world works, so we would be way good with that! And so, our politicos work on a bill, that gets passed as a law...

“These counterfeit parts endanger our troops, harm national security and cost taxpayers,” Levin said. “The flood of counterfeit parts must stop, and this amendment provides tools and incentives that will help stop it.”

“Counterfeit parts pose an increasing risk to our national security, to the reliability of our weapons systems and to the safety of our men and women in uniform,” McCain said. “We cannot risk a ballistic missile interceptor missing its target, or a helicopter pilot unable to fire his weapons, or display units failing in aircraft cockpits, or any other system failure, all because of a counterfeit electronic part. This legislation will inject some much needed integrity, transparency, and accountability into the defense supply chain, help customs officials intercept these counterfeits, and ensure that prosecutors bring the full weight of justice down on those who traffic in military counterfeits.”

And I don't know if any of that actually goes on in Washington, since I'm the type that if I don't see it, hear it, smell it, taste it, or touch it, then I can't vouch for it's existence, but in this case I would have to assume something like that does occur, otherwise, what would the US Department of Homeland Security be doing holding an Investor Conference that was invitation only at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington DC? Who paid for that? Us taxpayers no doubt. Must be nice to be king, huh?

And I'm not implying that any of the people referenced to in this post are in any way connected to APDN, or will benefit from a relationship with APDN, I'm just having fun speculating, as always.

TO DA MOON!!!
