"Common sense is truly uncommon!" There are als
Post# of 43064
There are also various shades of common sense. It just depends on a person's interpretation. I would break down the shades of common sense in evaluating PTOI as follows:
a) Gut feeling tells the investor that the people involved at PTOI are honest and although progress is just slow at PTOI, the stock will hit just as soon as Mr. Heddle finds the right customer/business plan combination to get this valuable, disruptive technology put into use.
b) Something is wrong at PTOI but not sure what...and maybe it will resolve itself. The stock feels too cheap to sell so this is more of a 'lottery ticket'. It's worth the gamble for a technology which might be worth billions of dollars.
c) Knows it would be worthwhile to know the value proposition of the processor. Since the flagship test/demo processor was run for six months in 2013, the data about what exactly went into the processor (price, quantity, details) and what exactly came out (market value, quantity, details) is available. It would be prudent to e-mail Mr. Heddle and ask how well the process actually works and why potential customers still aren't biting.
d) Understands that Mr. Heddle has been CEO for over three years and, by now, certainly has a strong understanding of whether the process is worthwhile or worthless. Understands that there's a reason Mr. Heddle isn't disclosing how well the process actually produces results...and that Mr. Heddle wouldn't have any reason to hide those results if those results were worthwhile.
e) Sees PTOI's founder who found this technology on a tape drive was charged with securities fraud for cooking the books and for searching for an auditor to sign off on the cooked books. It's a gamble even investing in honest companies so the threshold for providing evidence of value should be much higher for PTOI. The evidence of value provided by PTOI since merging with a shell company over seven and a half years ago is non-existent.
