Cautiously Impressed...

PK,

I'm seriously considering ITKG as an investment but I'm a little gunshy from some other Tobin Smith picks that have been disasters for me. So, I'm doing more DD than I normally do.

Incidently, I'm in Bellingham as we speak...buried under 10 inches of snow.

Everything about ITKG seems great...the potential is awesome...but there's seems to be one BIG problem. No independent engineer has created a product that we can see. Out of 40 experts that seems a bit strange. Somewhere I read that there was a problem of consistency within the formula. Do you know if this was a problem and has been solved, or still is a problem?

Incidently, regarding the Award...I'm cautiously impressed. I have been an international and national judge in the Direct Marketing field so I'm familiar with this form of high level award. The problem is the judges do not get to verify anything. You're given company-generated facts and have to hope they're real. To a large extent you're operating under a honor system.

But whether the Awards are for real or not only time will tell. The key point is an answewr to my question above.

TIA

EB Reader,

As for your suspicion regarding Mr Tobin Smith and his prior picks, I honestly cannot attest to good or bad. I had not heard of him until earlier this year--and only then though other Blog Readers such as yourself. I am not a subscriber to his offerings, though there have been times that some have shared. As for his past, well you have better insight than I there.

What I can relate is, despite what he notes in his stock reports -- he has no impact on Integral or the Management's decisions or progress to date. Were he not highlighting ITKG as a buy option, the stock would still have risen (maybe not so quickly, but it was on an upward progression all the same).

Earlier this year, Integral's management announced the overall game plan for this company's marketing campaign. This was the starting gun's report to inform all that Integral had transitioned from a developmental stage company and that it was aggressively working to now market their patented potential.

I understand your caution, and realize the need you express to know more before leaping blindly onto something so potentially new, and not yet marketed.

There is risk involved in that thinking, but there are rewards associated too.

I agree, this is speculative at best, and your caution is deserved. BUT, you have an opportunity that many do not have before you.

You are in Bellingham!

• You can contact the company and request a visit to the premises.

• You can speak face-to-face with some of the players associated with the birthing of this disruptive IP and get a direct impression before you invest.

Yes, I--being in Bavaria--am operating on an honor system, but I do have friends, whom I trust, and who had signed limited NDA with the Integral Technologies. It was these friends, who after their NDA expired, relayed their experience and impressions to what they were exposed to.

Not to be lulled into blindly believing based on faith alone -- I do value the judgment of these friends. I value, in a few cases, their technical expertise in assessing & evaluating their observations.

Yes there are awards, and experts have lauded the possibilities surrounding the ElectriPlast IP, and the potential changes can bring to the table. And while, as you note, Judges for awards do not often get a chance to garner full disclosure and access to all materials being reviewed, depending on the patent, patent pending or other legal statuses associated -- they do get access.

That's more than many reading this Blog have at present, and why when limited exposure to ElectriPlast, and awards offered are announced, people take note.

Once again, you are in a great position to visit the Integral facilities. I would urge you to call, make an appointment and act upon that opportunity before you before you consider investing.

Cheers and best from the snow-capped heart of Bavaria,

PK sends...
