FASCINATING POINT IN NANO'S HISTORY & BUYOUT POTENTIALWe are now at such a fascinating point in Nano's history and development, with SO much blue-sky opportunity ahead I really don't know where to start.
At the same time though, I also think we are now suddenly in a period where there is a very high risk of Nano being bought. It's at that point where the science is proven, and now at scale, but the share price still has a long way to go (upwards!) to reflect this new reality. There are two scenarios here, for the time being, in that sweet spot where the facts are there and the share price is still vastly undervalued.
Scenario 1: A much larger entity buys Nano, and keeps the technology to themselves. You want to beat the competition? Cheaper, greener, faster, and better sounds like a GREAT way to do that. I can think of any number of large CAM producers who could easily be interested on that front alone.
Scenario 2: A much larger entity buys Nano, and then continues on Nano's proposed path of a production and licensing model. Again, this is an extremely lucrative play at the moment. A company can boost the share price making a very lucrative offer for shareholders, scoop the shares, and then ultimately carry on, knowing that the value will increase many times the original purchase price in the future.
Please note: I do NOT want a buyout to happen. Yes, if it did happen, the premium to today's share price would make me a LOT of $$'s. But if Nano can stay course, I think (with a little patience on my part) they'll achieve a much higher valuation and share price. Furthermore, the market will foward-think a lot of this, and the stock price will respond accordingly with some of this valuation becoming anticipatory and a much higher multiple being afforded.
I bring all this up because at this particular moment, it is a very potent/possible reality, and a fascinating point for Nano. I suppose in either case I'll make a lot of $$'s, so not much to complain about. We'll see what comes, but my first choice would be to stay the course.
