Thanks Night Writer for all the links. I will try to check them out but it will take a while. And thanks a lot Bernard for a great perspective on these companies. I have the feeling that I've discovered a new and relatively unknown area of the stock market, perhaps similar to how networking companies like csco et al were in the early '90's. Hopefully it will be that profitable :-). The one worry I have with CVUS is how much dilution will be suffered in their necessary quest to get sufficient funding for their infrastructure. I've seen some small companies really get diluted to hell and the original shareholders got really shafted but hopefully that will not occur here.
The only company of the ones you mentioned that I have previously heard of is LOR. They are pretty well known in the aerospace field. Incidentally, I just picked up this evening a copy of the March issue of IEEE Spectrum. The subject is "Satellites free the mobile phone", and there are 3 very interesting looking articles on the subject. You can pick up a copy for $3 at Borders, Barnes and Noble or any very good magazine stand.
It usually turns out with new industries, at least in hi-tech, that one company becomes dominant, and its stock price rises a hundred-fold. For example, with chips it was intel, software microsoft, networking cisco, massive storage emc. Obviously I would like to invest early in whatever company in this area becomes head honcho. $10,000 times 100=$1,000,000, and man that would really help my financial situation. In the meantime I have a lot of reading to do. If there is a particular book or classic magazine or journal article on the field then I would like to know about it. If not, then perhaps someone knowledgeable like you Bernard should write the article and publish it in Spectrum, or maybe on the web somewhere. Incidentally, last question, is there a special journal and/or magazine devoted to this field?
Thanks to everyone once again. |
