I'm no expert, but I believe Syntroleum can process natural gas to liquid fuel without pure oxygen making portable platforms which can be pulled next to a well and used until the well is exhaused. I believe RNTK requires high percent oxygen but employs a less expensive catalyst - iron versus cobalt. RNTK can handle "heavy bottoms" and has actually built a plant whereas Syntroleum is based upon some limited demonstrations. Syntroleum is investigating new catalysts and RNTK is developing additional stages - catalyst and fuel cell. I like both companies longer-term as about 50% of US energy reserves are in natural gas wells which are not profitable by any other process - too expensive to build pipeline and too expensive to liquify by cooling. SLHO has a much larger market cap than RNTK so RNTK might reasonably be expected to rise appreciably. There are also negative aspects to both companies - SLHO is highly valued and RNTK has few contracts after many years. Some of my statements are probrably a little over-simplified and anyone else should please correct me. Terry

Frank, SLHO captures 90 % of natural gas... RNTK captures 80 % but RNTK captures 70-80 % of the heavies,,,which SLHO can't.. SLHO bbl producing capacity is much larger than RNTKs... Also they've got signed and delivered licenses ,, with oil cos, which took them 3 years,,, they too were trading at a buck piece with 25 mill shares,, then did a reverse to 5 mill at 5 bucks then took off and hit 100 on one single announcement... RNTK will soon have that ... Thats why we are here... What happens when TX signs ? Merit of the license and the hype will take it straight to 6 or more ,,, then as we get more license deals and street recognition ,, we will trade I'd say close to 1/3 of SLHOs valuation pretty quick ... some where 15 a share ,,, and more . It has higher reward vs risk factor ,,, then normal stocks..... What happens if we don't get the Tx ? We have several others lined up such as Pemex, Fina , Elf and refineries.,,, then we are looking at 3 - 4 .... If RNTK had no GTL contract,, which is doubtful,, considering recent developments.. we stay here at a buck range and worst is 13/16 as the support,,,, till end of the year,, where they will turn in profit,, probably hit 1 1/2,, and it will be another penny stock with a good story ,, also ran ,, We find all this out Frank ,, now in some 64 days window,,, I get rich or I dump and move on ...
