Value is based on 'buzz'? I guess by that reasoning Paris Hilton must have a lot of talent after all. It is astonishing to me that a company that started from scratch around 10 years ago, and got to where it is now, is thought to be dead in the water because it's been 4 whole months since they announced they were going to play an important role in the US return to the moon AND that they were working with the world's premier supercar manufacturer.
That's only the most recent announcements. There is still the matter of Chicago, NY school buses, Nissan, etc. True, a 'deal' may not happen within the timeframe that some posters feel is reasonable, but personally I just don't see how you figure nothing on Torvec's list is compelling enough for the Army or somebody else to cut a deal, as VW, Toyota, and others did in the past.
I know the feelings that make one buy at the wrong time. hold till bored or disgusted, and sell too early, but I think Torvec has never been higher on people's radar than right now. So a couple of months go by in the course of negotiations, any production of Torvec technology is a pretty bold move for the first one out of the block. Considering what the Torsen did for auto tech, I wonder what is wrong with some auto execs, but they are making possible life and death kind of company decisions right now, so maybe they are being more cautious than normal.
If you have to have the media wind at your back, sell Torvec and if you can net a couple of thousand, buy a few shares of Apple. They are flying real high right now, but they do splits, they will launch more products between now and fall school start, they will continue to pull people away from Microsoft (Vista is kind of a bust), and as long as Steve Jobs stays alive and out of jail they will continue to get a lot of good media coverage. Plus Paul is going to start selling his music on iTunes. Maybe the rest of the Beatles and Apple Corps will move to Apple computer.
