how do we know that 3 machines is cash flow positive? I thought that with just one machine running they were cash flow positive according to JB.
The way I looked at it was with an ROI model. If the first 3 machines cost $2 Million (a reasonable number), they would have to make $800k from they for 2-3 years to get back 20%, a reasonable ROI.
Cash flow positive?? does it matter?
btw, they have spent $25 - $30 Million now... so $2 M seems like an oil drop in the barrel of JBI futility.
It seems the window of opportunity to cast doubt about JBI's ability to produce high quality products is closing rapidly.
Judging by the increase in posting in that direction others seem to realize that also.
Some posters are now even questioning the existence of the JBI catalyst. The only other company using pyrolysis in the US that has sold any product doesn't use a catalyst and look what they produce.
I believe their permit describes it as a gel like substance. But they can be proud... they don't use no stinkin' catalyst.
As additional shipments of fuel are documented the window of opportunity will become smaller and smaller.
So far JBI has shipped $135K worth of fuel as of October of 2011.
That means that some companies have found the JBI product acceptable enough to spend real money on them.
Some posters disparage the fact that JBI is selling #6 fuel as if that somehow is a bad thing. Seems pretty silly to me. Having multiple products in the marketplace is always a wise business decision compared to having only one product.
