What some don't understand is that QMC management
Post# of 22456
Some will use semantics to tear at a statement, ignoring the larger meaning or message, and I have said there are many who only think short term, because their intention is to jump in and out of stocks based on the latest fraction of a penny stock 'tick' and not the underlying value of QMC.
As Solartech has repeatedly pointed out, QMC is not guided by dire predictions on this board and neither are the long-term stockholders.
Some want QD sales news just so they can play the up and downs. I think that strategy unwise with this stock, going forward, but I can understand that it is their SOP, and I respect that. The buy and hold strategy that benefitted those that bought the great stocks like Intel, Microsoft, UDC and others is the correct strategy here. Let me tell you why.
I suggest that any with doubts about QMC OR it's QD, might review the recent PR and Shareholders Updates from Squires. You will see the same consistent message that supports the 'working in the best interest of the shareholders' that I talked about here.
Since Squires returned to lead the company there has been technical success followed by more technical success followed by a dramatic massive contact and JV with AMTRON of Assam, India. That one deal assured the long-term success of this penny stock, with $7 to $10 Million in revenue this calendar year and subsequent royalties on products probably being developed right now with QMC proprietary technology in solar QDSC, displays film and QDLED, and SSL lighting with QDLED also. Squires mentions other vertical industries QMC is working in additionally, any of which could be a huge deal by itself.
Let me give this example: let's say you work for a living and get paid regularly. That's you making a daily 'sale' of you time to your employer, who pays you a wage, which had to be far less than the money your work brings in to the company, or he wouldn't be able to justify your employment. Simple QD sales to display OEMs are similar. They pay by shipment. OEMs, just like employers, can terminate the relationship at any time for any reason. They hold the upper hand and drive prices down at every opportunity. There is no assurance of future income or relationship despite the fact that the employee/supplier has had a large contribution to the success of company projects. There is no loyalty to suppliers or recognition of their contribution to the success.
A JV or joint venture changes the equation. The Supplier becomes a Partner in the success of the venture which is not easily ended because in AMTRON, they have caused $82 million to be invested, with hundreds of million more to come from Advantage Assam investors. QMC'S JV is the anchor tenant of the deal That's Commitment, with a capital C!
As noted above, QMC earns millions this year, and in future years earns millions by royalties, on QDSC, and Display QD products, and SSL QDLED, with a myriad of new products yet to be invented. Some will say none of this will happen but I say QMC has transformed into a budding conglomerate, diversified in a number of high-tech Nanotech industries destined to be Billions big. Only one of these enterprises needs to be successful to ensure QMC becomes the next Intel-like mega- corporation.
So let whomever wants to disagree with this post do so, but understand their perspective is not long-term buy and hold. They only care for short-term profits today, not for their future income. It's like the Aesop fable about the Ant and the Grasshopper who didn't put away any food for winter. They want you to be the grasshopper.
