RE: The Graphite "Bubble" Very well stated TeTsuo. When Focus Metals shutters the doors I too believe it will be the day that the last graphite producer closes shop, and I would expect that this will be on a global basis. I extremely doubt we will ever see that happen. I fully expect that the graphite market will continue to grow and that the graphene market will also begin to gain major traction going forward. The cost of graphite and graphene is something that remains to be seen. Industry will use both of these products and lots of them, IF the price is something that stays in a range where they can make a profit from their end-product. In other words if the price is to rise to a level that takes the profit equation out of an end product, why would any industry want or need these products. Yes, some products have a large enough markup that they may still be capable of using graphite and or graphene. Historically we find that industry always manages to position prices into a price range that is suitable to them making profits. For this reason, amongst a host of others, will Focus Metals truly become the leader of the graphite space globally. There is no known competiton with a higher grade or a lower anticipated cost of production.
