Can I add my .02 cents worth? atm_prophet, if you're still around, good luck with your future investments. I would never criticize anybody for leaving and I sincerely wish you the best and I hope you make a bundle with future investments.
I said it before and I'll say it again, I could be wrong about this, but the previous G.M. and Ford contracts were PPAP and run-at-rate contracts. I think they were legitimate, but PPAP and run-at-rate at just small "trial runs". I am just speculating about this, and I could be wrong.
I think, with this being a new technology, both G.M. and Ford would probably run the newly machined LACC parts through a whole slew of tests. They would probably test the new parts for things like tensile strength. As far as they know, LACC could weaken the metal, so they would probably test every inch of these LACC parts. This would take a lot of time. The last thing a major auto maker would need is a recall for weakened transmission parts, or a possible lawsuit on their hands.
I'm wondering about the volume the last couple of days. Could be some big news on the way. I'm speculating here. I'm hoping for a Monday p.r. What better way to start the week? If there is some big news, I would rather they release it on a Monday than a Friday. Friday release, and the excitement is dead by Monday. Monday release, and there's a whole week ahead. If there is a p.r., hopefully it has figures of some type, and hopefully we get a couple more contracts announced in the next couple of weeks. That's what we need.
All my opinion, and my fingers are crossed
