PyroGenesis Inc T.PYR

Great List of What PYR is Up To

[BCONTVentures]

Definitely lots going on at PyroGenesis, great reminder of all that PYR is involved in.  Add in the recent 20 MW ($27 million) high powered torch contract too:

And another great comment from @pennytodollar:

@pennytodollar The major difference for me is that almost all other sub-dollar companies waiting for their break wait just as long as PYR but are relying on a single vertical and a single big client. PYR has multimillion dollar sales with international companies in multiple completely unrelated markets. Those aren't even the big "legs on the stool" and all it will take is one of the 5-7 contacts worth a potential $100 million to come in to completely change the lay of the land. PYR with $50-100M cash is going to be a whole different beast.

@pennytodollar @Guppy if we get $100M contract and it looks like we might get more, then yes, I totally believe we are looking at $10

@pennytodollar I know it seems a long shot at this very moment, but some of our projects are linked to potential contracts of that size

@pennytodollar given our margins are actually quite good on torches, that would be a P/E ratio in the realm of reason - again assuming the market believes others will follow (and we have a few of that size - each of which I believe becomes more likely to get signed once we have one)

@pennytodollar And also, very easy for hype and frenzy to take over here, PYR is a stock on a lot of radars. If we cross 5 on a solid deal, I think the machine is kicking in again somewhat to bring us higher.

BCONTVentures wrote:And from the Q2 Business Update/Outlook, these can be added to the list of what PYR is up to:

• Plasma-Based Graphite Production:
  The Company is in advanced discussions with an entity engaged in the production of graphite, for a first phase design and delivery of a customized pilot-scale plasma reactor and associated testing system, with an estimated value of between $500,000 to $1 million.
• Plasma-Based Glass Valorization:
  The Company is in final negotiations with an entity in Canada, for a plasma-based furnace for use in the melting and valorization of recycled glass.
• Plasma Torches:
  The Company has been in discussions over several years with a European entity, to act as a potential supplier of plasma torches for the entity’s waste-to-energy initiatives; the entity has, at times, listed PyroGenesis as their torch supplier in various publications online. This entity has recently announced having entered into an agreement with a German multi-Billion-dollar leading technology company to accelerate green energy transition through waste-to-energy technology. The entity announced that it aims to establish 300 plants producing 1 million tons of hydrogen over the next several years.

[Melida]

BCont, Pennytodollar & Trader have it right as usual.  Thank you for keeping it real & relevant.  Focus on the technology and its multiple applications and periodically give to the bashers. Also, and what I mentioned last night, look at the ask side this morning.  There is always is larger ask about 5 cents above market.  That's just one tell of manipulation. 

[Thinkbigsti69]

Good to have real info instead of the FUD spewed by paid bashers.

[Melida]

Yes, it is important that the real/relevant information doesn't get buried in the avalanche of basher misrepresentations.  Also, it seems to me the bashers have become irate of late.  

[Thinkbigsti69]

That large 3 year contract seems to have been the trigger. LOL  

[Melida]

I feel sorry for new retail investors who are interested in Pyro.  They access this board and all the see is repetitive trash talk from the same crew of misfits: Filou, Delesio, Sump, Graham, Mostly ...etc. Too many to list.  Can't be bothered.  They deflect & clogg.  Their comments are irrelevent, repetitive & numerous.  Terrible We have to stay focused on

[Mostlyserious]

Mention the pumpers side as well, who as evidenced, attack the posters not the content. You use to engage in some form of informed civil discussion, but that is in the past.  Now any reasonable rebuttal to real discussion is dismissed as "whatever".  Cash doesn't matter any more, it is about ground breaking technology.  Why not talk about ground breaking technology

[Mostlyserious]

And I will add that I had the same thought about this bullboard today - pitty those that come here to be informed.  But I toss that towards the other side like HarZ that went out of his way to dig up personal trash that had nothing to do with anything discussed today. "Bashers" discuss company, "pumpers" discuss "bashers".  Why?  Why not provide company

[BCONTVentures]

Well said Melida, and PyroGenesis' business potential has drastically increased during the past couple of years.  Just look at the new markets PYR has entered, new patents filed/granted, the second production facility coming online, revival of existing business lines, and the growth in employee headcount.  PYR is gearing up for exponential growth. And from @ordos: @ordos 

[dalesio_98]

Stockhouse: Is this the PYR Bullboard or specifically content from ceo dot ca? One wonders by the frequency BCONTVentures posts content from a competitor website. Apparently have to keep the thumbs up tally for the Bullboard leaders. Good luck to All!

[dalesio_98]

BCONTVentures, Does the company have the funds to sustain itself, funds to produce the equipment, funds to defend the patents? Some 55 million in backlog. Only 110ish million behind the eight ball and climbing.  Good luck to All!

[BCONTVentures]

And from the Q1 NR: "The company's flagship technologies are now being assessed, tested, or in use across a much wider array of major heavy industry categories, in more primary jurisdictions globally, than even we once thought possible. In so many ways, we are just getting started." It is not the size of the contracts (big contracts will come, like the 20 MW torch), it is the

[Melida]

And you still get bashers like Mostlyserious who will never address the specifics of these comments.   While at the same time making light of essential concepts such as "going concern" ?  He doesn't want to understand it because doing so would trash his agenda Here's just one practical question for these guys in relation to the most recent contract valued at 27

[GrahamB]

Hey Melida, 'One would need to have the contract in hand to know how the customer viewed the "going concern" that Pyr will continue to operate. having said that, looking at the accounts receivable, you always have to remember that saying you're going to order something, and then paying for it is another matter, especially when this company has a track record of not being able to

[Melida]

Hey Graham,  looks like your quoting comments on the financials without understanding that they are made pursuant to GAAT.  You aren't showing me anything wrong here.  And Pyro is not getting stiffed by a customer if that's what youi think you're saying.

[dalesio_98]

Melida, Refers to certain shareholders as bashers because the same opinion is not shared. Not everyone sees through rose colored glasses. Good luck to All!

[StairwayTo]

PYR is being used to R&D, that's your answer

[dalesio_98]

Melida, Perhaps ToolmanTim can chime in as he provided lip service without providing link to details. Much can happen over 3 years when the moral entity seemingly has issues to sustain operations. Perhaps the non-disclosed company will buy out Pyro. Did Mr. Pascali provide enough details to identify company in his latest video clip?  Good luck to All!

[sumpineh]

Have you read the contract. Previous customers have had tests first and then wanted modifications which dragged on and on only to finally settle on a lesser version of the contract. PYR is begging for business. They have 100+ employees who have been sitting around with little to do revenue wise.They won't even name their client so that the contract cannot be verified. That 27M is at least 3

[dalesio_98]

Certainly the 27 million is a drop in the bucket for the entity. A potential tax writeoff. Why not give a contract instead of their employees working on this particular R&D. Good luck to All!

[Melida]

I can't figure out what it is you are trying to say.  Are you saying the contract does not exist?  The 27 million is not 3 years away.  And saying "if it comes at all"  is crazy talk.  I can't seriously respond

[GrahamB]

You need to read the financials, and the notes. You' will see that ARs get written off.  

[dalesio_98]

Melida, Yet, you responded. Good luck to All!

[Mostlyserious]

Melida, only a clown who has not taken Finance and Accounting 101 would make light of going concern note disclosure and liquidity issues.  You are out of luck, I've taken 201 and have seen hundreds of companies. i do note that you are setting yourself up to appear as a guru by predicting that Q3 will continue having the going concern note. Those that have taken 101 know that given the

[BCONTVentures]

You bring up a great point in your post Melida about the due diligence that a client/customer would do before choosing PyroGenesis to be their partner/supplier.  Keep in mind that PyroGenesis is the only foreign company to have its technology/solutions on the US Navy aircraft carriers.  The amount of due diligence that the US Navy (and US Army) does on their vendors is enormous. 

[ottov77]

...what about all the investors that have lost their shirts on this company over the last 5 years? Do you "feel sorry" for them too?   ..hey pal your invested, ..that's ok,..you and I are both PYR bagholders...that's a problem for the both of us but the obnoxious pumping to some poor newb out there in the hopes it might save your own skins is disgrace This thing

[Melida]

I guess it tells me that you lost money on Pyro at some point is the past.  I didn't.  I really didn't.  I think Pyro will succeed fantastically but years ago when the share price shot up to $12.00 on annual income at the time of around $17,000,000.00  and not nearly the product and verticals it has today, you had to know it was overpriced.  Way overpriced I sold

[dalesio_98]

Says the pseudonym Melida. :) ;)

[Melida]

Dalesio,  you're making my previous point.  Deflect & clogg.  Have you ever provided any analysis of Pyro that's the least bit relevant

[dalesio_98]

You would need to get feedback from the ones that didn't view the company with rose colored glasses, potential science projects and stayed away. Another one who claims he profited from Pyro. Sure thing. Good luck to All!

[Melida]

Show me were I can send my trading statements on a confidential basis and I'll gladly do so.  You're just another dumpling that lost his shirt 

[dalesio_98]

Says the pseudonym Melida. Sure thing.

[GrahamB]

  Melida you seem like a reasonable person -so let me take a moment to give you another perspective so you can know why some come here, beyond the assumption such people are angry deviants. I have never owned the stock myself, so I don't have any bitterness about losses, or regrets about not selling. I did come here, because promoters-science first- on another board, suggested this

[Melida]

Graham,  did you try to be condescending or does it just come naturally?  If you have no dog in the fight I just don't get it.  All this stuff is only about money.  Nothing else.  You aren't an altruist.  Show with specificity where I'm wrong and I'll respond.  Don't just try to give some academic sophistry

[GrahamB]

  'Not sure I understand. How is this about money, for me,  if I don't have an investment in your lovely company

[Mostlyserious]

If you listened and read what the company put out, you would not have thought it was overpriced.   That's why I wait for the solid contracts instead of listening and reading what the company puts out. You are right, I believed them and I shouldn't have.  But now you are telling us all that we should believe them.....just because you rebought cheap and made good money on

[Melida]

It's very simple.  When the stock went through the roof I called many friends in banking and finance.  To a person thay all said take the money and run.  With the previous year's revenue at 17M it was impossible to keep that sky high price.  You've blamed it before on Pyro and comments from Pascali.  You should have done more DD

[dalesio_98]

Very simple. Sure thing. Not many, if, any believers.

[Mostlyserious]

Yeah, take your money and run.  Ask them all now and then would say don't touch it with a 50-foot pole, especially given much worse financials than at that time!  But here you are, effectively telling people to invest. Your friends did not believe the CEO.  I did and I am basically being called a chump.  I am, against my better judgment.  But think about what you

[sumpineh]

Thank you Melida for addressing new investors who are probably curious as to why PYR is the most active BB on SH.These "newbies"are not children who can't tell right from wrong. The crew that you mentioned posts far less than the thousands that the pumper crew uses in an attempt to lure them in.Melida has 16 posts in the last 24 hours. You are the clogger. Many longs with their
