It has been almost a month since NavStar Technologies Inc (PINK:NVSR) announced a “Major Breakthrough” in the Middle east on October 8, 2009. They anounced that “Details will be provided to shareholders in the next 5 to 7 days” on this “Major Breakthrough”. Now investors have been in the dark for 22 days and NavStar failed to meet its promise.

I had a chance to speak with Pat Bannister, CFO, at NavStar who advised they were “waiting on important documents from the middle east”. When asked if these documents were an inked deal or contract he replied “it’s probably just a letter of intent”. I let Pat know that investor confidence is most likely going down when they tell the market 5-7 days for more details and we are now going on 22 days. Pat

Energtek Inc., a prominent leader in alternative energy technologies, is currently engaged in developing and commercializing Absorbed Natural Gas (ANG) technology. ANG technology allows for the storage of comparable natural gas quantities at reduced pressure, thereby significantly lowering the costs of capital investments and operation.

Although in recent years the commercialization of ANG technology stalled because of unsolved technological problems, Energtek’s determined efforts have resulted in a solution to some of the key problems of the future gas and transportation industries. The result of this research and development effort led to the first commercially efficient system of ANG storage.

Energtek Inc. focuses on natural gas solutions for a variety of reasons; not only is it cheaper and more readily available than gasoline, it also has an impeccable safety record and burns cleaner than any of its counterparts. The company is poised to benefit greatly

Energtek Inc. is a world leader in the development and commercialization of adsorbed natural gas technology. Energtek develops breakthrough technologies to deliver natural gas from any natural gas source to the consumer, even in cases where no gas pipeline or compressing infrastructure exists.

Energtek supplies natural gas to industrial and commercial consumers that are not connected to a gas network using pipeless natural gas supply bulk transportation solutions. The company has opened up the natural gas market for businesses for which high-pressure solutions, such as CNG – compressed natural gas, is not economically viable.

Energtek’s low-pressure mobile pipeline product is an equipment and services package providing a cost efficient supply for industrial and commercial consumers not connected to the gas network. The company has developed this package based on several economic factors. These factors include: the demand for cheaper and cleaner fuel, the high capital cost of

Reaching for cost advantages in one industry can often lead to advantages in another. In many instances, when these advantages are found, an entirely new paradigm is formed for new products and potential industry bases. Finding these new product and industry bases is the way to be in on the proverbial “ground floor” of extreme profits.

BioSolar Inc., a solar-cell module component material manufacturer, is currently introducing plant-based bio “plastic” materials to solar module manufacturers for assessment. The company’s products are said to meet all durability requirements and offer significantly lower costs then current petroleum-based components.

The company’s product line is not limited to solar applications, although it has chosen the solar module application as its market of choice. Bio-based “plastic” materials are a large breakthrough for many applications that use plastic parts, as they apparently offer cost benefits while maintaining required tolerances. As petroleum prices continue to flirt with record levels,

mPhase Technologies Incorporated has made the most significant breakthrough in battery technology in more than 100 years. The company’s new AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery is helping batteries keep pace with the highly evolved electronics they are used to power. The technology inherent in this new NanoBattery provides the manufacturer the ability to produce it on such a miniaturized level it can be placed on a microchip.

The new NanoBattery uses a chemical reaction similar to traditional batteries, but it utilizes a unique mechanism to combine the chemicals and control the characteristics of the reaction. mPhase refers to the controlled reaction as “Power on Command”, because it allows the user to locally or remotely activate and deactivate the battery, freely switching between an active and inactive state. Activation is initiated on the user’s command, causing the chemicals to mix, electrochemical reactions to occur, and power to be supplied to an

Are you tired of being spoon-feed trades without knowing how to come up with the ideas on your own? Many traders fall into the trap of being fed the fish but never really knowing how to go about fishing on their own. This post and next week's aim to fix that.

The Words that Would Not Go Away

I've had a mental breakthrough recently about something that Dr. Brett Steenbarger lodged into my mind during one of my Chicago visits at his office. How could he have known that this thought would percolate in my head for so long?

Well I finally am able to pour it out by applying his trading approach to the suite of tools we offer here at Trade-Ideas - using The OddsMaker.
