At $3-8 bucks I sometimes buy story stocks for a pop. But not at $30-40... I do. In today's market, that $30 - $40 stock could easily go to $300 - $400 now that the story is out. Even with "10ish million float". SCON had 8.8ish million shares added to their 10ish million float just a few short days ago on Feb 11... Personally I don't buy $30-40 "story" stocks that just expanded their float from 1ish million shares to 10ish million shares... Did they have 10ish million float or 1ish million float? I think that it is riskier to go against the hype. You shorts have to hype even harder. I am all for what you do when the Company is pumping and dumping. I see no evidence of that here. I believe SCON is just as surprised as anybody that their shares have taken off so soon. Too bad they could not have held off their most recent offering, they would have gotten much more. The next round of funding should be easier.

Pluvia, Once again excellent analysis. I'm here waiting for the selloff of this pathetic pump and dump. CHB

*BUYER BEWARE* (don't you mean sellers?) Pluvia; while you may know a whole lot, I've got to admit that all I hear when I read you is 'glug glug glug' (as you're underwater). While I wish you well, generally, I hope you're dead wrong here. Good luck (with other issues).

Your logic doesn't hold up when you attempt to equate the well proven physics of superconductivity to that of cold fusion. It's like comparing the commercial application of nuclear fusion to the warp drive engine, science to science fiction. Since this is key to your position your entire argument breaks down. Why don't you base your story stock argument on something real like maybe CDMA technology generating story stocks such as QCOM. If you held QCOM when it was 2-5 dollars a share you would probably have sold it when it was $40 too, and been sorry for it.

HEY MIKE T AT H&L....THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!!!! from the latest sec filing 02/11/2000 where SCON filed to sell stock at $3.25 per share.....hell, i'll give 'em $10 a share right now! The commercial superconductor product market is limited. We may not be able to produce enough products to meet market demand or our products may not achieve market acceptance. If we fail to manufacture and market our products successfully, we will be adversely affected. Our manufacturing experience is limited. We have sold products only in limited quantities, and primarily for limited deployment. During 1998, we significantly increased our manufacturing capacity in order to meet the increased demand for our products as well as expected future requirements. While we have increased our manufacturing capacity, we may not be successful in overcoming the technological, engineering and management challenges associated with producing commercial quantities of superconducting or cryogenic products for large-scale deployment at acceptable costs and on a timely basis. As a result, we may not be able to reduce our manufacturing costs sufficiently below our selling price or to generate a positive gross profit. We are dependent for our revenue on government contracts. We have incurred net losses every year and, as of December 31, 1998, had an accumulated deficit of $36,215,000. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses over the next several quarters as we continue to devote significant financial resources to commercializing our products, expanding our operations and product development activities. Our success depends on successfully commercializing our high temperature superconductor filter systems for the worldwide wireless communications market, which is not guaranteed. We have limited marketing and sales capabilities. Our revenues are dependent upon patents and proprietary rights which may not be enforceable. We are dependent on specific patents and licenses to technologies and we will need additional technologies that we may not be able to access. Rights we have to patents and pending patent applications may be challenged. The rapid rate of inventions and discoveries in the superconductivity field has raised many unresolved patent issues that may negatively affect our business. The market value of our shares of common stock will likely be diluted due to conversions of preferred stock my head is still spinning from going through all the preferred stock and warrants and options...oh my. conference call tomorrow at 1pm...earnings pre-market.
