Wow--I just spent about the last 75 minutes reading posts on this thread going all the way back to '97. I can't honestly say I read all the posts but with the help of BrowseMaster I was able to read about 400 or so without a lot of clicking.
When I was posting to you earlier Bill, I didn't realize who you were. I mean, I didn't know you were such a star on this thread--well, you and Lamar both.
Reading so many posts and seeing all the hopes, hype, speculation and doubts from the past months and years...and then to get up to the present day posts with the big finale of the APT news--I tell you, in that context it is HUGE news.
Perhaps the key statement to this entire thread was made by you back in Oct. '98. You wrote, "They don't seem to be touting it like a typical scam stock." (post #1569). Going through this thread, it really is like that. RDOX has perhaps deserved its scam reputation by being this little OTC that proclaims, in essence, We're going to revolutionize the battery industry. Yeah, how likely is that, right? However, we now have several years of data to see how RDOX acts and they don't act like a scam. How about that?
There is only one small doubt in my mind and that is that back in '97, RDOX was apparently making claims that they were 12-months away from production. Well, here we are about 16-months from those claims and RDOX is saying that they will be in production in 9-months (1Q of Y2K). Let's hope the big slip was for legitimate reasons.
That issue notwithstanding, there is a picture that is coming together for me. For example, the Octobot Technology Fund news (Dec. 2, '98)...I get it! If you're going to develop new battery technology, you need to have an expert at how to apply the technology to business uses. Octobot surely must have seen the battery work before they took on the contract.
The APT news (Note: APT verification was posted as search.commerceinc.com ) is another puzzle piece come together. They are the first company to say, "Hey, we'll buy your technology." APT's number is: (408) 456-2777. I think it would be a good idea if I get a call into them asking, "Are you dealing with ReDox on the hope that their battery will leave the R&D stage, or have you actually seen a prototype work?" If they say, "We've seen the battery and we are dealing with ReDox knowing the product works"--well, that would be huge. If they give any kind of answer like, "It's 100% contingency--we are not completely sure they will be able to deliver to us the battery they described" then we're back to this being a crap shoot. But I seriously doubt that APT would give the latter answer.
Let me wrap up this long post by saying I'm really pumped. The odds favor that what we see here is legit and, if that's the case, I agree with Landman who writes, "this could be $8-$10 very shortly." I plan to snare some more shares on Monday morning. I like the risk-to-reward ratio.
