Gordon Your associates post conforms almost identically to my phone call to Bellcorp yesterday, the results of which I was planning to post today.
The reason I am focusing on other Bellcorp Technology liscencees, simply is that Bert Roberts must have asked himself two questions. 1. Is VLNC soon to commercialize a breakthrough technology? (which, if so, will make it a very very good investment) and 2. Will VLNC be the only one on the near horizon to commercialize? (which would make it an extraordinary investment)

It seems to me there must be enough cumulative resourcefullness on this thread to fan out across cyberspace and the real world, to get at the answer to question 2.

My first contribution to this inquiry: 1. Bellcorp would not release to me the names of the two european and two Japanese liscencees.
Why? 2. I think that one of the two Jananese might be Sony. Does anyone know anything about Sony approaching Valence about 2 years ago (about exactly what, I don't know) and being rebuffed.

Also of course are the non Bellcorp technologies such as one being researched by LITH and Moltech? And what about HydoQuebec/3M joint venture for EVs

I am a conservative investor, with VLNC, being my only "speculative play". I wish all VLNC longs good luck.

Now is the time to really put our heads together.
