Technology Stocks : Micromem Technologies ***MAG-RAM*** ( MMTI) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

A couple other notes regarding the SEC document:

-Micromem is incorporated in the Turks and Caicos Islands

-Micromem only owns HALF the MAGRAM patent. The other half is owned by Estancia Ltd., who was the one who originally bought the patent from Lienau (for how much??)

-Micromem's license of the patent agrees to pay Estancia 40% of the gross profits from the technology, less costs of revenues.

So, this last item shows that this is not truly a "pure play" on the technology.

Also, how common is it for a company to have "unlimited" authorized shares to issue? Is this a major fine-print snare?

Would this provision even be allowable for a Nasdaq-traded stock?

Why is the company so desperate to become Nasdaq listed? Plenty of stocks languish with a new listing on Nasdaq. Many good companies do just fine on the OTC/BB.

>>Regarding the technology: A working 8-bit sample, which they have produced or are supposed to be near to producing: that is a VERY small piece of memory. I'd have to think that something usable would be quite a ways down the line.<<

I just realized my mistake here: 8-bit refers to the word size (is my terminology correct?) not the actual size of the memory sample. Probably I didn't mislead anybody but myself...

Has everyone lost interest?
