The ChangeWave Influence, and some Practical Advice... Part-III

EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

This is a detail I forgot to mention in my other email

I asked investor relations about the rapid run-up in price back in late '99-'00. They said that the price run-up was due to the huge amount of tech speculation in that time frame. There really weren't a sufficient amount of products or patent approvals to support the price. According to them, the current price increase is much more justified due to the patent approvals, the end of litigation with another company and current talks with large companies about integration of the ElectriPlast concept. Today was a good day in the market. Maybe tomorrow, it's going past the $3.00 range.

Hi there EB Reader,

That from Integral regarding the patent approvals is correct, and they were also--at the time of the run-up, still working on a tenuous relationship with their picked manufacture (who if things blew up as many shareholders had hoped, could have hand more control over their products supply-chain flow than Integral would have truly liked. The real reason for the rapid rise, and equally rapid fall was due to the patent approval issue though. As mentioned in one of my earlier Blog missives, a former partner of Integral, a company called IAS Communications--upon realizing Integral's pending success, threatened Integral for a cut of the money or they would bring trouble to the table.

Integral's management, knowing they were in the right, told them to get lost. IAS as a result claimed that Integral stole the designs during their earlier association and brought a lawsuit.

Integral was working to patent their products but too short cuts in an attempt to get to market first. This weak point was exploited by IAS. The court case scared off many investors, causing the price per share to plummet so rapidly.

This was a time for learning lessons for Integral's management and one of the primary reasons that it has taken so long for the company to move on their ElectriPlast/Plastenna innovations.

Their first and foremost concern is to not experience the IAS-fiasco again, second, they do not want to be in a position to have their property stolen, so they are taking their IP and any imaginable incarnation from this or similar technology to the patent office and locking their claim on it.

As for the $3, it'll happen, sooner or later. It will pass as $4 and $5 comes into view. An email came in recently wherein it noted that Mr. Smith in his newsletter said that his estimation is that the value of this stock could rise x10.

He is in the business of gauging such things, and maybe has insights that are not available to the rest of us. Despite that, it will come down to who is in the background now doing business plans with Integral's management before we see such rises. It could happen--it depends on the names of those aligning their interests with that of Integral and their ElectriPlast product.

Once again, this is a time will tell issue...

Cheers and best to you,

PK sends...
