Hi, Sechelt. You're not trying to pick up some cheap ATF shares at the last mintes of this week, are you? I don't understand your last posting, ATF is natural gas as you say on the front end. The RFC is after the burning of the natural gas. I'm really puzzled. CC

It is my understanding that catalytic converters are only one part of AFS's product line. Nes pa??????

Great post, too bad your facts are a little washy. ATF and WPT are doing basically the same thing with diesel, only in a slightly different manner. ATF can convert just about any type of engine into a CNG engine. There's a lot of diesel engines out there and a lot of infrastructure out there pumping out more of em. Sure hydrogen may be the standard at some time in the future, but there is a big push on right now promoting CNG vehicles. I for one am invested in BLD and ATF over WPT. Scott ps. Hope you got in before the BLD stock split announcement

Sechelt, Do not mean to be disrespectful ... but if the comments you posted are in reference to ATF (and obviously they are) - you obviously have NOT done your homework ... not by a long shot. Best of luck though... MB

Hi Sechelt: <After doing much more DD - I have decided that catalytic converters are not the way to go for my own personal stock picks> From Frost and Sullivan, Jan/96 Forecasts for Catalytic Converters: Catalytic converter OEM revenues in North America in 1994 were US $1.68 billion, 59.1 percent of the total NA automotive OEM exhaust components market. Just 1% of this market = US 16.8 million in revenues per year (or about $23 million Canadian). 2% ...well! Sounds like the way to go for me. If the AFS ReverseFlow catalyst doubles the efficiency of current catalysts, this is a nice solution.....NOW!!! The Frost & Sullivan paper (1996) also says there has been "an absence of any technological innovation or breakthrough that might expand the role of the catalytic converter in the engine's make-up." Til now maybe???? Regards, Bonnie
