Steve,the potential of ECD to make money has got to impress investors if they attend a meeting and see a lot of possibilities. The paten's of ECD are said by ECD to be it's strength. One of the problems is ECD's had is money they needed lot's of money. To get this money take on partners and go along with their programs to develop products. It has taken a long time to get where they are the solar working off Alantic Richfield 28 million shared research most of money spent in different area's that really gave the company a chance it benefited from agreement. Alantic Richfield when their own way.(not sure of exact amount money its been a long time ago nineteen seventies.A lot of money for research at that time Alantic Richfield was fat with oil profits from first oil shortage.} After research only a portion spent on solar. Standard Oil of Ohio about 70? million as partner. Than Cannon at about 50? million can't remember the amount. Recently steel company from Europe Becket more millions. After about 30 years Stan has got a great product in the 25meg watt Solar roofs with the Roll to Roll machine. It looks like this year will be its first to reap 4 quarters of profits. I forgot about sharp(of Japan} they worked with sharp or sold sharp on 2 meg? roll to roll solar for watches a small products. Sharp left ECD and took the roll to roll machine idea with them. I believe making about 100 meg watt machine gong for 200 meg if not already there. My point being its taken a long to get where ECD is at. ECD has pointed out its not done in its improvements on solar machine's performance. Its working on manhattan project. It has impressive data to improvements (yahoo's post by Olcnnom 160948}. The solar division shows a slow clear path to improvement with increased production by more machines. The improvement who knows when?

What I am trying to say is you may make more money with losing hare than a wining turtle. (timing can be crucial )
