Driving the Stock Price on Promises...

EB Reader & PK Correspondence


PK,

I was wondering why the company seems to have a good solid three year track record of stating quite convincingly that there is something just about to happen. Yet here the story goes again, we're just minutes away from inking a deal with and actual product, and the stock is taking off, again. Again.

What's to say this is the real time?

I was also wondering what's going on. The stock is taking off, but will it soon fall back again?

When will more patents be approved and will a deal ever be approved?

Internet searches provide very few clues as to what's going on.

What is driving this stock up?

Promises?



-------------------------



Actually, those great questions.

In response, I would say that the Patents are the key factor in this event over all else.

In prior years, the company acknowledged openly that they were in a development phase. Development means just that, testing & validating -- and not just the product, but the markets they had intentions to exploit.

While it is true, this could have taken off years earlier, one thing had always held that momentum back -- the lack of Patents . Actually that is not quite correct, and I'll amend myself now to note that history and lessons learned along the path also contributed.

As I noted in previous Blogs and in commentaries to those who emailed, Integral had a legal tussle over their initial WiFi/Bluetooth market venture years back -- their micro-antennas, reputed to be some of the best on the market.

A legal attempt at blackmail by IAS Communications, a one-time partner to Integral Technologies curbed ITKG's initial attempt to go to market, just as the wireless niche market was starving for their promised contribution. By the time Integral won the lawsuit, the market had saturated with a number of other competitive antenna products.

During that lawsuit, Integral's Tom Aisenbrey invented the ElectriPlast material, calling it Plastenna--because that was their primary focus at the time. Over time, they uncovered a myriad of other potentials to this material and began developing them.

But that is another story. Going back to the main point -- after the development process began, the company leadership thought to further their efforts by mentoring under GE. This brief marriage did not work out, and lead to a relationship with DuPont. DuPont, after realizing the potential and value of ElectriPlast, acted inappropriately with their NDA (non disclosure agreement) access.

With that, Integral pushed in earnest the ongoing process of exploring and garnering patents for each discovered process that ElectriPlast excelled at. It was a blessing in disguise in that both the management and the inventor were forced to look beyond the box and discover multiple potentials beyond the antenna aspect.

It was then that the company announced that it was becoming a Plastics' company.

Since then they have worked, in conjunction with PG&E, those patent concerns and are literally ready to go forward both on the civilian side of the market, and through QuanStar, the military side.

What is to say that it is real this time -- I got no answer for you because that would be leading!

Understand that this is still a penny stock – risks, losses and potential benefits & windfall profits all added into the mix.

If you invested here, and have a sense as to the potential, then you are aware of the heights to which this company and its promising IP could reach.

If not, then I would recommend cashing out and watching from the sidelines -- but stand back.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, this is a forward progressing story, and it will continue with or without you being present...

PS -- What is driving this stock up is the same thing that put it on your radar. There is a good story with great potentials and possibilities associated. If it sounds plausible, and people are willing to believe then they will invest.

If it sounds plausible, and people can sense the reality behind the story, then they will invest.

If it sounds plausible, and people can see the product in action and sense the reality presented by their eyes, then they will invest.

While it is true, a number of companies have testbedded the product for their own use, they are not the only entities in creation holding an NDA with Integral -- nor are they the only ones who have seen for themselves the reality behind the IP or this investment.

There is a large amount of money being traded on this company, I find it hard to believe that the story is so widely spread that so many hundreds of thousands of people who are weekly--in the blind--forking down three bucks and change just to see their investment go through on the stock ticker. In other words, I would assume that one entity, or another has seen the product for themselves and as a result decided to invest a chunk of their own change based on their observations.

I would assume that with the more companies out there testbedding the ElectriPlast product, that more than one entity is out there investing as a result...

But that is merely an assumption on my part -- otherwise, I have not heard any official promises, nor would I expect to.

This is the stock market -- and like in real-life, "Risk is a Factor, not a Promise, or an Assurance".
