But the miserable failure Agilyx has taken almost 10 years to process 1 million pounds of plastic.
JBI did that in a fraction of that time. And is shipping fuel to customers as I type.
If agilyx does, and that's a big if, happen to go public their stock will plumment out of the gate losing millions for whoever is stupid enough to buy it.
ipo for a company in a new industry brings attention to the industry. smart investors will look at agilyx's competitors and see jbi makes a machine cheaper, better, faster and it produces spec fuel instead of sludge.
1) Having a patented technology that will give them the rights to practice their invention, and exclude others from doing the same thing;
Practice is the key word here, never hurts to keep practicing. As far as worrying about JBI "doing the same thing" - No need to worry one bit. JBI does NOT produce a "gel-like substance" that still needs to be blended with oil and refined before it is even useful.
2) An experienced management team with a long track record of success in the industry.
8 or 9 years worth of "experience", which should place them further along than JBI - but the reality is that JBI has 2 commercially viable plastic eating, money producing machines making spec-grade ready to use fuel 24/7, that is being loaded into tankers and sent to its customers as fast as it is being made.
3) A sound business model that has a high likelihood of generating profits.
There are many things that are likely, but a proven Plastic to Oil process that makes spec-grade ready to use fuel from FREE waste plastic is currently being done by JBI in Niagara Falls.
4) A reputation that isn't muddied by things like the SEC suing them for fraud.
Arvitar, with all the money that has been invested in Agilyx to get them to where they are today I'd love for you to take out your one of a kind calculator and educate us on their current price per barrel.
