One caution here:

There has been a sizable amount of insider sales during the Summer at prices about 35% higher than the current share price. Selling is the CEO/CFO, Rick W. Walchuk.  He has reduced his holdings from about 250 million to slightly over 243 million. Overall, that is not that unusual as he makes only about $55k annually in a regular salary (assuming the information at Yahoo Finance is still accurate). 

No News is Good News… At Least Lately

The stock is up as much as 60.47% from recent lows and up 20.87% on strong volume on Friday.

Introducing Graphene

Graphene is ultra thin, ultra strong, transparent, flexible and most importantly, electrically conductive. Graphene is a nano-material directly derived from graphite. It is a single layer of carbon only one atom thick. The carbon atoms are connected in a hexagonal lattice that looks like a honeycomb. Despite a lack of bulk, graphene is 200x stronger than steel, it conducts electricity as well as copper and conducts heat even better it is also flexible and nearly transparent. Because of these remarkable properties Graphene has earned the moniker The Miracle Material Though its existence has been theorized since the early 1940’s, it was not officially discovered until 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novaselov at the University of Manchester.

Graphene is the Material of the Future

If someone told you we’d be able to fold up your tablet computer like a piece of paper, stick it in your pocket and go to work, you may call it science fiction. This concept may be close to fruition. Universities across the globe have been working on ways to produce flexible touch-screens for a number of years now, but without too much success. So what’s changed?
