V, I know what you mean. My brother has strong intuitions and Lightpath really jumped out at him when he looked at it a couple of years ago. I only have intermittent intuition...but it jumped out at me as well. I thought I was somewhat nuts when I held Lightpath through the tough times considering how much money I had invested. But sometimes the inner signals are very clear and it pays handsomely to listen. Light and nano technologies are incredibly exciting. To think that someday we could have a microwave type thing and hit a button to create a shoe or a carrot from the atoms and molecules inside the machine...unbelievable. It was pointed out that when that actually becomes a reality (not as far off as people imagine), manufacturing would change so intrinsically that the impact on society would be total. Some time ago on, IBM's website, you could see an abacus created from molecules with an atom (on the end of a stick type thing) moving the molecules. They did this to prove that mathematical calculations could be made at that level (since the abacus is still used in parts of the world for accounting, etc.) They also showed nano gears they had created and other really neat stuff.
