Gold/Mining/Energy : Altair Nanotechnologies -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Altair is now listed on the NASDAQ National Market Issues Board as of 1/26/98, I also understand that Fidelity has 5% of the stock.

If you want details about the workings of the jig, there will be two University of Southern Illinois engineering professors who will present the first scientific paper on the Altair machine at the annual Society of Mining Engineering meetings in March. The paper, "Evaluation of the Altair Centrifugal Jig for Fine Particle Separations", is based on the extensive testing of the machine at the University of Southern Illinois.

But then, I'm sure Rajiv and Ole 49r are more knowledgeable.

Good evening Rajiv,

With all due respect, it is OBVIOUS from your post that you have NOT done your homework in regards to this technology. If you can't figure out the significance of Dupont using the 30 series after finishing testing with the 12 series, then I, nor anyone else on this thread can help you. Before you start to ask financial questions that everyone should know the answers to, I would suggest that you answer the questions that I posed to you. They aren't very dificult!...if infact you and the other shorts had bothered to have done your homework.
<The existence of the technology for 4+ years combined with relatively low expenditures on research leads me to believe that this technology is not at all that wonderful>
If as you contend, the technology is not impressive, then what was the basis of the conclusions that the University of Southern Illinois arrived at when they released their findings last year?
Why are three of the largest companies in this sector wasting their time testing this technology? Infact, why is Dupont in their FINAL phase of their testing program...oh shoots I gave you an answer to one of my questions. Let me guess...their technology is not that wonderful. Go ahead and short as many shares as you and your friends can get your hands on. When Dupont announces their results, we shall see who was right and who was wrong.

Sincerely,

Jas
