OK, so what do you see as the tie in to Nanoxplore precisely?

[1student]

Hello Lire02. Perhaps I should have stated for what it's worth or for your information as a heading above the article in question. After having read such a news release, I was simply pleased with the recycling pledge by North America's second largest and one of the world's larger plastic recycling corporations. The abilty to begin the recycling of previously unrecyclable plastics is

Almost forgot to mention another most interesting part of the article regarding Advanced Drainage Systems Inc., NYSE:WMS. It is something along the lines of what I have long expected would happen, for NanoXplore and GRA investors, in addition to the existing Canadian government associated entity positioning as one of NanoXplore's investors.

OK, OK ..... I GET IT ! Seriously, thanks very much 1student,  for your two recent posts. Seem to demonstrate how quickly the various applications of graphene finding their way into the most basic manufacturing processes. And here I was,  somewhat worried about the near term depth of the market for graphene: now I'm worrried that demand will result in more of the really big

Hello Lire02. You in part stated, "now I'm worrried that demand will result in more of the really big guys getting into it and making graphene just another "commodity". Response: Why would the really big guys getting into graphene really worry you at all? When the really 'big guys' want to get into the industrial scale Graphene production market and 'the big guys

1Student : I was being somewhat facetious in my response to your two posts, sorry if I misled. In any case, it did get your further thoughts which continue to educate.  I do wonder if you referring to Mason Graphite when you mention that Nanoxplore already has its foot the door re securing graphite supply. I kind of thought that door might have been closed when Mason sold its rather large

Hello Lire02 Regarding NanoXplore already having it's foot in the door, so to speak, and potentially taking up a offered opportunity to become part of a highly intrgrated graphite miner and graphene enhanced products producer, supplier and distributor, a certain company which DuPont de Nemours, Inc. management would undoubtedly well recognize as a formidable force and a company

I stand corrected and contrite.

And what is stopping you from naming said company?  Thanks In Advance  quote=1student]Hello Lire02 Regarding NanoXplore already having it's foot in the door, so to speak, and potentially taking up a offered opportunity to become part of a highly intrgrated graphite miner and graphene enhanced products producer, supplier and distributor, a certain company which DuPont de

Hello savyinvestor333 Anybody who bothered to perform due diligence the way I tend to perform due diligence . . .  I'll simply say certain things are not too difficult for me to discover. You asked "And what is stopping you from naming said company?" I'll simply say my positioning not being 'optimal' is simply one reason as to why I will not, at this time

Dow chemical i guess has certainly shown an interest in Nano, it certainly would fit perfectly well as a new industrial branch of the company. Now, i have no idea if a deal is in the works, or if they are even talking, and i certainly hope that Soroush and the board will indeed play their cards right. That means not a sellout, but a mutually beneficial agreement that would still create lots of

Ok no problem but i believe the train has already left the station. We now have a marketcap nearing  850 million. Hopefully you don't think that you or me buying or selling shares could influence the share price of this company to any extent.  quote=1student]Hello savyinvestor333 Anybody who bothered to perform due diligence the way I tend to perform due diligence . . .  I'

Yep, you're a due dilly genius all right. Please position yourself post haste so you can let us peons know who the 'heavy hitter' is.

[1student]

I open no wine before it's time. Also I have no delusions of grandeur. I full well know that I can not, by way of 'leveraging' my peon size GRA .T position alone, move the share price in any intended direction. Heck, even if I decided to disclose the name of the 'heavy hitter', in foolish expectation of trying to shape sentiment positively and somehow assist the existing bias
