Thanks for posting this DD.

It's a slow Saturday, so I will expound on my previous post.

My late father-in-law, a small but successful lifelong farmer, was an uneducated man (6th grade). Yet the longer I was in his family, the more I came to recognize that he very worldly wise. One day, long after he had retired and moved to town and shortly before he passed I asked him what he would have done differently in his life and career.

He said "I was a child of the Depression, and I was taught by my folks to live by the saying 'He's stepping on a dollar while reaching for a five'. And while I have seen many others go bust because of too much ambition, I had several opportunities myself to buy more land and expand my operation that I passed up. Looking back, I could have had have much more success If I had not been so timid."



When I think him and of that insight he shared on his front porch that day, it prods me to be a bit more adventuresome.

Now that I am fast approaching retirement age, I too have found there is a fine line and yet a big difference between being adventuresome and being reckless. Taking a calculated risk is how we prosper. Plodding along in safety is not the path to riches.

SO... Following his advice is what I have done here with QTMM. I will not be destitute if this fails, but certainly worse off. But intellectually, I see this as an opportunity that is seldom matched in terms of both potential and probability.

AND I am much reassured by your posts that contain information such as this quote from your link:

"research that suggests that the quantum dots market is expected to grow to $3.4 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 71% from 2014 to 2020."

How can we miss?

Blessings to us all,
