I've done some DD about Mr Silvermand and he appears to be the director at Advanced Micro Devices.http://ca.linkedin.com/pub/sheldon-silverman/4/3ab/5b1
Advanced Micro Devices is listed at the NYSE (ticker: AMD) and has a current value of 8.40dollar/sharehttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=amd&ql=1
the JV with Amplitech (which has a fortune 500 client list like NASA and Lockhead, ...) Mr Silverman will make this company proof its' excellency in the brain-computer interface industry and the thought-controlled engineering industry
