On February 11th, Berkshire Hathaway announced that it agreed to buy Burlington Industries, an ailing textile manufacturer languishing in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Why on earth would Warren Buffett spend more the $500 million on a long forgotten textile company? The answer could lie in Burlington’s 51% ownership stake in a little known company called Nano-Tex, LLC. Using advanced molecular engineering Nano-Tex has invented a patented treatment for fabric called Nano-Care which makes liquids like wine, juice and oil roll off clothing as if it were coated with Teflon. The secret? Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the science of the small. In fact a nanometer is literally 1/75,000th the width of a human hair. This new technology allows us to literally build things like circuits and materials atom by atom. Over $2 billion will be spent on these technologies in 2003. What’s the best way to learn about companies like Nano-Tex that are changing the world with exciting new products AND making money at the same time? By reading the Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report, (click below) the authoritative report on nanotechology for individual investors. If you had been a Forbes/Wolfe Nanotech Report subscriber, you would have first read about Burlington Industries’ 51% stake in Nano-Tex in June 2002. Almost nine months ago Forbes’ nanotech guru Josh Wolfe wrote how retailers like Eddie Bauer and Gap were already selling khakis and jeans with this super sealant. forbes.com Here at Forbes we believe that the secret to profitable investing is to identify the companies and the technologies that will drive future growth and profits.
