Turbo-Akku ist schneller, besser und haltbarer

Neuartiges Batteriesystem ist innerhalb von sechs Minuten aufgeladen und deutlich leistungsfähiger als herkömmliche Varianten


Ein neu entwickelter Akku lässt sich innerhalb von nur sechs Minuten aufladen. Er ist außerdem dreimal so leistungsfähig und 100-mal so langlebig wie die heute verwendeten Akkus. Entwickelt hat ihn die Firma Altair Technologies in Reno (USA). Über das Patent berichtet das Wissenschaftsmagazin New Scientist (5. März, S. 27).

Der neue Akku ist eine Weiterentwicklung des herkömmlichen Lithium-Ionen-Akkus. Eine der Elektroden des Stromspeichers besteht dabei statt aus Kohlenstoff aus Lithium-Titanat-Nanokristallen. Dieses Material ist stark zerklüftet und besitzt daher eine enorm große Oberfläche: Ein Gramm erreicht eine Fläche von 100 Quadratmetern. Das ist mehr als 30-mal soviel wie herkömmliche Materialien. Wegen der großen Oberfläche können Elektronen besonders schnell ausgetauscht werden.

So kann der Akku nicht nur schnell geladen werden, sondern auch in kurzer Zeit eine große Menge an Energie abgeben. Das konnten bisher nur die relativ teuren und schweren Nickel-Cadmium-Akkus und Nickel-Hydrid-Batterien. Deshalb mussten Benutzer von mobilen Geräten bislang auf viele Zusatzfunktionen verzichten. Durch den neuen Akku werden diese nun möglich. Zum Beispiel hätten Kamerahandys, in denen der neuartige Akku eingebaut ist, genug Leistung für ein Blitzlicht.

Laut Altair Technologies lässt sich der Akku 20.000 Mal wieder aufladen. Durch die lange Lebensdauer sei er umweltfreundlicher als die derzeitigen Varianten, die nur 400 Mal aufgeladen werden können. Das Unternehmen plant, ihn für die verschiedensten Geräte, vom Handy bis zum Elektromobil, zu produzieren. Außerdem möchte es Lizenzen für sein Patent an große Batteriehersteller zu verkaufen. Die ersten Geräte, die mit dem neuen Akku ausgestattet sind, könnten dann in zwei Jahren auf dem Markt sein.

Charge a battery in just six minutes

Duncan Graham-Rowe

A RECHARGEABLE battery that can be fully charged in just 6 minutes, lasts 10 times as long as today`s rechargeables and can provide bursts of electricity up to three times more powerful is showing promise in a Nevada lab.

New types of battery are badly needed. Nokia`s chief technologist Yrjö Neuvo warned last year that batteries are failing to keep up with the demands of the increasingly energy-draining features being crammed into mobile devices (New Scientist, 28 February 2004, p 21).

The highest energy-per-weight ratio in today`s batteries is provided by lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. They are also cheaper in terms of energy delivered per unit of weight than alternative types of battery such as nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) and nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) types. But Li-ion cells have their drawbacks too. They eventually wear out, and they cannot discharge energy quickly enough for applications requiring power surges, such as camera flashguns and power tools.

They may soon be able to. Altair Technologies of Reno has created a new type of Li-ion cell in which the anode has an exceptionally high surface area. This allows electrons to enter and leave it quickly - making fast recharging possible and providing high currents when needed.

Li-ion batteries work by forcing lithium ions from a lithium cobalt oxide cathode to migrate to a carbon anode via an electrolyte solution. Altair`s patented modification is to make the anode surface out of lithium titanate nanocrystals, using chemical tricks to give it a surface area of about 100 square metres per gram, compared with 3 square metres per gram for carbon. The firm is keeping the chemistry that allows it to do this pretty close to its chest for commercial reasons. But the patent (US 6689716) reveals that the increased surface area is achieved using a carefully controlled sequence of evaporative steps when making the lithium titanate crystals.

“The new battery can carry high currents, so power-hungry devices like flashguns can be installed on camera phones”The high current that this modified electrode is able to carry means power-hungry devices can be installed in mobile phones, which until now have been denied them. For instance, camera phones might now have enough power to run a flashgun.

Altair says the battery will have other advantages, too. The crystalline surface of a carbon anode is susceptible to damage by the repeated temperature changes that occur as the battery is used and recharged. This limits its life to around 400 charging cycles. The more rugged lithium titanate anode should make it possible to recharge the battery as many as 20,000 times says Roy Graham, development director at Altair. A longer lifespan should also be better for the environment, he says. "The continual use of polluting cobalt oxides is questionable."

Altair plans to develop its batteries for power tools, which have till now required more expensive Ni-Cd or NiMH batteries to provide the large currents these devices need. The company hopes to license its technology to major battery-makers, who could have the device on the market in two years` time. Altair says it eventually wants to produce batteries for a broad range of devices, from phones to hybrid electric vehicles.

The Sound of Music for Altair

By Carl Wherrett & John Yelovich
March 17, 2005

Whenever we look at Altair Nanotechnologies (Nasdaq: ALTI) we are reminded of the exasperated nuns in The Sound of Music as they all sing of the untamable Julie Andrews, "How do we solve a problem like Maria?"

The company has had so many re-inventions, re-namings, re-organizations -- with each one carrying management`s promise that this is the new dawn -- that after this latest restructuring we are reduced to re-marking, `oh re-ally!`

We have been frustrated at management`s lack of focus and its inability to turn projects into commercial reality, so much so that I (Carl here) have successfully shorted Altair in the past.

Things began to change with the retirement of the CEO in May 2004 and his replacement by Dr. Alan Gotcher, first as a consultant and then as permanent CEO in August of that year. He has further consolidated his position by assuming the post of president after the recently announced termination of the previous incumbent.

The company is now split into two divisions, Life Sciences and Performance Materials, based upon what Altair claims is a "unique, patented, scaleable technology platform that provides the ability to economically manufacture a wide variety of high-quality nanomaterials."

Further to that, it is researching commercial uses for those nanoscale materials, mainly titanium dioxides and lanthanum and looking for partners to market these discoveries. To date, it has been relying upon government grants and at the end of 2004, it recorded $1.2 million in revenues and a net loss of $7 million. It survived through the year by exercising some warrants and raising $11 million in cash.

Breakthroughs for both sides
Since the turn of the year, both divisions have reported some stunning breakthroughs for the future of the company. The first was signing a commercial partner for its lead drug candidate Renazorb. In January, it announced that a licensing agreement had been signed with California-based Spectrum Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: SPPI), giving Spectrum the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, market, and sell RenaZorb for human therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

That was quickly followed by an announcement from the materials division of a performance breakthrough in lithium-ion battery technology, increasing the number of recharge and discharge cycles from a few hundred to many thousand. Altair further declared it has confidentiality agreements in place with major battery manufacturers, but could not name them yet.

It is interesting to note that in a previous position with office products manufacturer Avery Dennison (NYSE: AVY), Gotcher led the teams that created and commercialized the Duracell On-Cell tester battery label. Duracell is owned by Gillette (NYSE: G) and would certainly qualify as a "major battery manufacturer," but whether this is the company Altair is alluding to is only our speculation at this time.

Finally, to maintain this momentum, Altair announced a placement to institutional investors of 5 million shares at a price of $4.05, raising a much-needed $20 million cash for the company.

This is a stunning turnaround in such a short space of time. If the animal trials currently being conducted by Spectrum validate the trials already done by Altair and lead to further milestone payments, and if it can sign agreements with the battery manufacturers, then Altair is poised for extraordinary growth. Right now, we are not buying, holding, or shorting it, but we are watching it closely.

The battery technology is a disruptive one that means Rules are being broken. That`s what gives us reason to consider it as a Rule Breaker.

Hallo "xguelx"

......gerne aber nur ganz grob:

Der Autor kritisiert anfangs die Vorgängerfirmen von Altair ziemlich, indem er sagt, daß es immer wieder zu Umstrukturierungen kam und der Firmenname geändert wurde.....dies zeuge nicht unbedingt auf eine Kontinuität und spricht gegen die Vorgängerfirmen von Altair, die eben jetzt so firmiert.

Dann wird er konkreter und beschreibt genau den Weg von Altair (Einnahme von 20 Mio. Cash gegen Aktienausgabe, usw...)

Sorry will nicht den ganzen Artikel übersetzen...

Auf jeden Fall kommt er zu dem Fazit (wie eh schon geahnt): sollte Altair die Technologie, Vision, ... durchgehen...steht ein ausserordentliches Wachstum und Potenzial ins Haus....

also insgesamtz hop od. trop...

Meiner Meinung nach steht Altair aktuell gut da. Super Cash, Interessenten....und da wird hoff was draus...

Altair Nanotechnologies Titania Nano-Material Coatings Demonstrate Superior Strength

2005-03-18 09:45 ET - News Release

RENO, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/18/05

http://media.marketwire.com/attachments/200402/174329_altair…
Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) announced today that two papers have recently been published that illustrate the improved durability of Altair`s titanium dioxide nanoparticles, when used as coatings on titanium metal or other high performance metal alloys.

In testing conducted by Dr. R. S. Lima and Dr. B. R. Marple at the National Research Council of Canada, it was demonstrated that Altair`s nano-structured particles deliver superior strength and durability, compared to traditional materials, when used as a coating on surfaces. Altair nanosized titanium dioxide materials act as crack arresters, enhancing toughness which is a critical factor in coatings applied to materials used in harsh environments. Coating strength increased significantly as the porosity of the Altair material was 2.5 times less than that of conventionally applied traditional materials. Lima and Marple also demonstrated that the coatings can be applied with a lower cost process, high velocity oxy-fuel, versus the traditional method of air plasma spray, which may provide a significant cost improvement for these tough, high strength coatings.

For the last two years, F. W. Gartner based in Houston, Texas has been using Altair`s Titanium Dioxide nanomaterial to coat industrial titanium ball valves which are used in applications in the chemical, mining and petroleum industries. Said Jimmy Walker, COO at F.W. Gartner, "We are delighted with the results we have been achieving with the Altair materials and the development of proprietary coating processes (U. S. utility patent no.6835449). Our customers are using a coating with twenty five times the dry sand abrasion resistance and three times the erosion resistance of conventional coatings."

Other applications for these nanomaterial-based coatings are targeted, which include coatings for rotor blades in gas turbine engines and aircraft jet engines. These high performance coatings are envisioned to reduce maintenance costs due to their increased strength, and resistance to abrasion and wear.

"Altair is pleased with the results of Drs. Lima and Marple`s research, which show improved durability of our Titania nano-materials" commented Altair Nanotechnologies CEO Dr. Alan J. Gotcher. "Our Titania nanotechnology has moved into the product development stage and we are seeing encouraging progress and product performance with our market partners."

Copies of the two research papers are available from the publisher at www.sciencedirect.com and are entitled "From APS to HVOF spraying of conventional and nanostructured titania feedstock powders: a study on the enhancement of the mechanical properties" and "Enhanced ductility in thermally sprayed titania coating synthesized using a nanostructured feedstock".

Toshiba`s New Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Recharges in Only One Minute

29 March, 2005


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New battery offers unsurpassed recharge performance and high energy density




TOKYO -- Toshiba Corporation today announced a breakthrough in lithium-ion batteries that makes long recharge times a thing of the past. The company`s new battery can recharge 80% of a battery`s energy capacity in only one minute, approximately 60 times faster than the typical lithium-ion batteries in wide use today, and combines this fast recharge time with performance-boosting improvements in energy density.

The new battery fuses Toshiba`s latest advances in nano-material technology for the electric devices sector with cumulative know-how in manufacturing lithium-ion battery cells. A breakthrough technology applied to the negative electrode uses new nano-particles to prevent organic liquid electrolytes from reducing during battery recharging. The nano-particles quickly absorb and store vast amount of lithium ions, without causing any deterioration in the electrode.

The excellent recharging characteristics of new battery are not its only performance advantages. The battery has a long life cycle, losing only 1% of capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging, and can operate at very low temperatures. At minus 40 degrees centigrade, the battery can discharge 80% of its capacity, against 100% in an ambient temperature of 25 degree centigrade).

Toshiba will bring the new rechargeable battery to commercial products in 2006. Initial applications will be in the automotive and industrial sectors, where the slim, small-sized battery will deliver large amounts of energy while requiring only a minute to recharge. For example, the battery`s advantages in size, weight and safety highly suit it for a role as an alternative power source for hybrid electric vehicles.

Toshiba expects that the high energy density and excellent recharge performance of the new battery will assure its successful application as a new energy solution in many areas of society.

Major Specifications of New Battery
1) Excellent Recharge Performance
The thin battery recharges to 80% of full capacity in only a minute. Total recharge takes only a few more minutes.
2) High Energy Density
Small and light, the new battery offers a high level of storage efficiency. The prototype battery is only 3.8mm thick, 62mm high and 35mm deep and has a capacity of 600mAh.
3) Long Life Cycle
A prototype of new battery (a laminated lithium ion battery with 600mAh capacity) was discharged and fully recharged 1,000 times at a temperature of 25 degrees centigrade and lost only 1% of capacity during the test.
4) Temperature
The new battery operates well in extremes of temperature. It discharges 80% of its capacity at minus 40 degrees centigrade, against 100% at an ambient temperature of 25 degrees centigrade, and loses only 5% of capacity at temperatures as high as 45 degrees centigrade after 1,000 cycles. These characteristics assure the wide applicability of the battery as a power source for products as diverse as hybrid vehicles and mobile phones.
5) Eco-friendly Battery
The new battery can quickly store energy produced by locomotives and automobiles. This speedy and highly effective recharge characteristic of the battery will support CO2 reduction, as the battery can save and re-use energy that was simply wasted before.

unwahrscheinlich, der Markt ist so riesig, dass für 2 Anbieter Platz ist. Außerdem haben die Batterien von Altair zukünftig eine 3-fach so hohe Speicherdichte wie herkömmliche Akkus sie haben. Also eine dreifach so hohe Einsatzzeit. Dafür nehme ich auch eine 10 Minuten längere Ladezeit in Anspruch, oder?

Wenn die aktuelle Unterstützung nicht hält droht ein Rückfall in den Bereich von 2-3 Dollar.

Vielleicht kommt doch noch eine gute PR mit besseren Aussichten. Allerdings sollte man das Risiko sehr wohl nicht aus dem Auge lassen.

Ein "Rückfall" in Bereiche zwischen 2 und 3 Dollar stellt doch eine schöne Nachkaufgelegenheit dar, die ich jedenfalls, wenn sie denn kommt, gerne nutzen werde.

Altair sieht fundamental derzeit einfach auch zu gut aus!

Noch nie stand die Company so gut da wie heute, und sie wird einen grandiosen Weg machen!

Deshalb nicht bangemachen lassen, Kursschwächen zum einsammeln nutzen und 1 bis 2 Jährchen die Shares nicht mehr anfassen.
Wer das fertig bringt, wird sich hinterher bestimmt nicht zu beschweren brauchen.

Von Phantasie und Patenten allein ist auf Dauer kein Blumentopf zu gewinnen. Solange ALTI keine signifikanten Umsätze geschweige denn Gewinne macht, muss man immer damit rechnen, dass so ein Wert vorübergehend ein Griff in Klo ist. Mich würde es auch nicht wundern, wenn ALTI auf 2 Dollar fällt, von der Bewertung her ist dass dann immer noch nicht billig.

A Nanotech Mismatch: Toshiba vs Altair
Last week, Altair announced that Advanced Battery Technologies had licensed the company`s nanomaterials for its lithium-ion battery product line. The news resulted in a 15 percent increase in Altair`s stock price and an astounding 278 percent increase in Advanced Battery Technologies` stock. (Full disclosure: I do not own stock in either company). The MotleyFool ran an excellent article on this topic (which I strongly encourage my readers to read for themselves) but I`d also like to add my two cents on this news.

As readers of this blog know, I have never been high on Altair -- for reasons which are covered in the related links section below. To summarize, however, I believe the company`s only demonstrated proficiency has been in delivering press releases that offer the promise of future benefit without actually delivering anything of real substance. As proof, I would remind my readers that the company has no revenues and it has yet to sell one of its products.

Recently, the company has found some success (which I define here as articifically inflating its stock price) in hyping its lithium ion battery nanomaterials--which company offcials claim will lead to rapid recharge rates and longer shelf lifes for batteries. This might be true but I would like to bring to investor`s attention this article about Toshiba`s "Nanobattery."

Here`s the bottom-line: Toshiba`s battery recharges to full capacity in just a few minutes, it has a high-level of storage efficiency, can be recharged up to 1000 times, operates in extreme temperatures, and is effective enough to be used in hybrid automobiles. More improtantly, Toshiba has stated it will be using its new battery in commercial products by 2006.

Investors of Altair must ask themselves this question: Is the company`s lithium ion technology so superior to Toshiba`s "nanobattery" that it can effectively overcome Toshiba`s excellent reputation, its well-known brand name, as well as its marketing and distribution strength?

In my opinion the answer is no and I think this reality will be reflected in a serious drop in Altair`s stock price--which today stands at $3.58 a share--in the months ahead.

So ein Quatsch! Wenn Du Dir den langfristigen Chart von Altair ansiehst, gab es immer sehr große Kursschwankungen (sowohl nach oben als auch nach unten). Im Grunde kommt es darauf an, wie sich das Unternehmen in Zukunft entwicklt. Und da hat Altair meiner Meinung nach recht Interessante Produkte in der Entwicklung.

Quarterly Report



Item 2. MANAGEMENT`S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion summarizes the material changes in our financial condition between December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 and the material changes in our results of operations and financial condition between the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company`s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Overview

We are a Canadian company, with principal assets and operations in the United States, whose primary business is developing and commercializing nanomaterial and titanium dioxide pigment technologies. We are organized into two divisions, a Performance Materials Division and a Life Sciences Division. Our research, development, production and marketing efforts are currently directed toward six market applications that utilize our proprietary technologies:

The Performance Materials Division.

• Advanced Materials

• The marketing of titanium dioxide pigments;

• The marketing and production of nano-structured powders for thermal spray applications;

• The development of nano-structured powders for nano-sensor applications;

• The development of titanium dioxide electrode structures in connection with a research program aimed at developing a lower-cost process for producing titanium metals and related alloys;

• Air and Water Treatment

• The development of photovoltaics for air cleansing.

• The marketing and production of Nanocheck ™ phosphate binding materials for prevention of algae growth.

• Alternative Energy

• The development of materials for high performance batteries, photovoltaics for hydrogen generation and fuel cells.

The Life Sciences Division.

• Pharmaceutical Products

• The co-development of RenaZorb™, a test-stage active pharmaceutical ingredient, which is designed to be useful in the treatment of elevated serum phosphate levels in patients undergoing kidney dialysis.

• Chemical Delivery Products

• The development of TiNano Spheres™, which are rigid, hollow, porous, high surface area ceramic micro structures that are derived from Altair`s proprietary process technology.

• Biocompatible Materials

• The development of nanomaterials for use in various products for dental fillings.

We also provide contract research services on select projects where we can utilize our resources to develop intellectual property and/or new products and technology.

We have generated, and expect to continue to generate, revenues from license fees, product sales, commercial collaborations, contracts and grants.

General Outlook

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we licensed RenaZorb™ to Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Spectrum") and recognized $695,000 of licensing revenue in connection with the licensing agreement. Prior to this transaction, substantially all of our revenues came from commercial collaborations, grants and other research or development work which we have undertaken primarily in order to benefit from the resulting technology. Our gross profit margins on such research and development work is very low, and in order that we may be profitable in the long run, our business plan focuses on the development of products and technologies that we expect will eventually bring a substantial amount of higher-margin revenues from licensing, product sales and other sources.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we attempt to significantly expand our revenues from licensing, sales and other sources, some of the key near-term events that will affect our long term success prospects include the following:

• We must complete animal testing of our RenaZorb™ product demonstrating specified result levels for RenaZorb™, which we expect to be performed by September 2005. Successful completion of this milestone under our license agreement with Spectrum will result in Spectrum`s release of the associated milestone payment to Altair, an additional 100,000 restricted shares of Spectrum common stock. In the meantime, Altair and Spectrum are continuing with their development work, and Altair will receive additional revenues if and when specified milestone results are achieved.

• Licensing and product purchase commitments for our Nanocheck™ swimming pool product are currently under discussion. Successful completion of potential license agreement(s) and product purchase commitments are essential for the commercialization of the Nanocheck™ product, which could bring manufacturing and licensing revenue in late 2005 or 2006.

• The initial phase of work for the Western Oil Sands license agreement is approximately 80% complete. In order for this project to move toward commercialization, we must successfully complete the initial phase, it must be determined that the oil sands tailings have sufficient titanium to allow the process to be economically viable and Western Oil Sands must decide to proceed with phase two.

• We have completed phase one work under a National Science Foundation grant to produce materials enabling a next generation of rechargeable batteries and have applied for a phase two grant of $500,000. Phase two grants are scheduled to be announced during July 2005. The ultimate commercialization of our battery materials will be dependant upon our ability to secure a technology license or similar agreement with one or more battery manufacturers. We have entered into a development agreement with one battery materials manufacturer and are currently in discussions with other battery manufacturers but cannot project when, or if, we will enter into a partnering agreement with respect to our battery materials technology and what the terms of such agreement may be.

Although it is not essential that all of these projects be successful in order to permit substantial long-term revenue growth, we believe that full commercialization of several of our technologies will be necessary in order to expand our revenues enough to create a likelihood of our becoming profitable in the long term. We are optimistic with respect to our current key projects, as well as others we are pursuing, but recognize that, with respect to each, there are development, marketing, partnering and other risks to be overcome.

Recent Business Developments

On March 10, 2005, we announced that Rudi Moerck, our former President, was terminated and that Alan J. Gotcher, our Chief Executive Officer, assumed the additional responsibilities of President.

Performance Materials Division

Altair Hydrochloride Pigment Process

In April 2005, we signed a memorandum of understanding with Bateman Engineering BV ("Bateman") to form a joint venture combining our hydrochloride pigment process technology with Bateman`s engineering, design and construction expertise. The joint venture, Altairnano-Bateman Titania, Inc., will offer customers an integrated resource for technology development, engineering, design and construction of pigment processing projects. The joint venture will be funded entirely by Altair and Bateman, with each having equal shareholding and voting control. We expect the joint venture to help in marketing the hydrochloride pigment process, particularly in developing countries which have little or no local production capacity. We subsequently announced that two projects have been initiated involving Altairnano-Bateman Titania, Inc.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Battery Applications

In December 2004, we completed work under a National Science Foundation grant for development of electrode nanomaterials for next generation lithium ion power sources where the results of our research indicated that our materials provide a significant improvement over conventional lithium ion battery materials. We have submitted a proposal for a second phase project totaling $500,000 to continue and expand the work of phase 1. We expect to learn the result of our proposal during July 2005. In February 2005, we announced the development of new battery electrode materials that will allow the manufacture of rechargeable batteries with three times the power and much faster recharge times than existing lithium ion batteries.

In April 2005, we signed a partnering agreement with Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. ("ABAT"), a U.S. and Chinese-owned company, for the development of lithium polymer batteries in China. The agreement covers the incorporation of our battery electrode nanomaterials into ABAT`s existing polymer battery product lines on a testing and development basis. It specifically focuses on development of high power, lithium polymer batteries for use in electric vehicles where long life cycles and fast charge times are desirable. We have provided ABAT with sample nanomaterials for their use in design and development of the batteries. A multi-phased material and battery performance testing program is being designed and will be conducted to refine the product and process specifications for the electrode materials and new battery products. We anticipate that ABAT will be able to produce batteries for testing in standard battery test protocols and in real world tests using electric vehicles (i.e. cars and buses) in late 2005.

Catalyst Support and Electrode Structures for Titanium Metals

In January 2004, we entered into a contract with Titanium Metals Corporation ("TIMET") to provide custom oxide feedstocks for a titanium metal research program funded by the Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ("DARPA"). We became a subcontractor for the DARPA program with responsibility to design and develop a titanium oxide electrode structure and supply TIMET optimized titanium oxide feedstock to produce 50 pounds of titanium metal per day in batch production demonstrations. During 2004, we provided TIMET with over 100 pounds of titania electrodes in accordance with the agreement, the first phase of which expired on December 31, 2004. In April 2005, TIMET was notified by DARPA that a six-month extension of the project was granted. In connection with the extension, we expect to sign a contract with TIMET during the second quarter of 2005 under which we may supply up to 200 pounds of titania electrodes.

Thermal Spray Grade Powders

In March 2005, we announced that two papers had recently been published describing the durability of our titanium dioxide nanoparticles when used as coatings on titanium metal or other high performance metal alloys. Dr. R. S. Lima and Dr. B. R. Marple, at the National Research Council of Canada, conducted tests which demonstrated that Altair`s nano-structured particles deliver superior strength and durability, compared to traditional materials, when used as a coating on surfaces. Altair nanosized titanium dioxide materials act as crack arresters that enhance toughness, a critical factor in coatings applied to materials used in harsh environments. Coating strength increased significantly as the porosity of the Altair material was 2.5 times less than that of conventionally applied traditional materials. Drs. Lima and Marple also demonstrated that the coatings can be applied with a lower cost, high velocity oxy-fuel process, versus the traditional method of air plasma spray, which may provide a significant cost improvement for these coatings.

Air Cleansing

In February 2005, we entered into a partnership agreement with Genesis Air to produce specialized, surface activated, nano-sized titanium dioxide compounds for use in an innovative HVAC air cleaning system. The system is marketed by Genesis Air domestically and internationally. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Altair will provide Genesis with product design services, proprietary nano-sized titanium dioxide materials and ongoing chemical engineering support services.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Life Sciences Division

RenaZorb™ Products

In January 2005, we signed a licensing agreement with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which grants Spectrum exclusive worldwide rights to develop, market and sell RenaZorb™. We are currently producing the quantities of RenaZorb™ required for use in animal testing and expect that it will be performed by September 2005. We have also filed numerous national patent applications in other countries to protect our RenaZorbTM intellectual property.

TiNano Spheres™

In March 2005, a patent application was filed for the TiNano Sphere™ drug delivery technology platform.

Other

With respect to the Tennessee mineral property, we are continuing our efforts to terminate leases and draft a remediation plan. Remediation work, which involves, among other things, the removal of the pilot plant and related facilities and restoration of the property, will begin after the remediation plan is approved by the applicable regulatory authorities. Costs of remediation are uncertain until such plan approval is obtained and the scope of the work is determined. We expect this process to continue through the second quarter of 2005.

A major minerals processing firm is currently testing our Centrifugal Jig. While the Centrifugal Jig is not believed to be a core part of our business going forward, the carrying costs associated with the Jig are minimal, and we plan to retain it at least until the minerals processing firm has completed its testing and development work. We may be able to generate limited revenue (through licensing fees or through a sale transaction) from the Centrifugal Jig in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Current and Expected Liquidity
Our cash and short-term investments increased from $7,357,843 at December 31, 2004 to $31,632,286 at March 31, 2005 due primarily to the sale of 5,000,000 common shares on February 14, 2005, which provided net proceeds of $19.2 million, and the exercise of stock options and warrants which provided $6.1 million. We intend to use these funds for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development activities and the possible acquisition of other technologies.

We expect to see an increase in our net cash outflow to approximately $550,000 per month in 2005 compared to average cash outflow of $530,000 per month in 2004. During the latter half of 2004 and early 2005, we added nine new employees in both technical and administrative positions in order to meet the demand for contract research services, comply with regulatory requirements and improve our marketing capabilities. This increase in staffing, combined with increased expenses for patent work, RenaZorb™ development, other internal R&D projects, capital asset expenditures, and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, will significantly increase our expenses. However, we expect an increase in revenue in 2005 that will largely offset these increased expense levels.

During the remainder of 2005, we expect to generate revenues from licensing, product sales, commercial collaborations, contracts and grants by utilizing our nanomaterials and titanium dioxide pigment technology. We currently have four contracts in place that will generate revenues in 2005. These are:

• a licensing agreement with Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for RenaZorb™ under which we realized $695,000 of revenue in the first quarter of 2005. We expect to receive approximately $500,000 of additional revenue during the remainder of 2005 in the form of restricted shares of Spectrum common stock, contingent on successful completion of animal testing;

• a contract with Western Oil Sands, Inc. for the production of titanium dioxide pigment and pigment-related products from oil sands. We have approximately $100,000 of work remaining to be done on an existing contract and expect to enter into a second phase contract for additional work in 2005.

• a contract with Western Michigan University to develop nanosensors for the detection of chemical, biological and radiological agents. We have approximately $150,000 of work to be done under existing contracts during the remainder of 2005.

• an agreement with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Research Foundation to act as a subcontractor under a $3,000,000 grant awarded to them by the U.S. Department of Energy for joint research activities related to solar hydrogen production. We have approximately $300,000 of work remaining to be done in 2005 under the agreement.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to these existing collaborations, contracts and grants, we hope to commence generating revenue from certain of our products, including Nanocheck™, a lanthanum-based compound that can be used to treat water for the removal of a wide range of deleterious impurities, and yttria stabilized zirconia, a product that may be used in solid oxide fuel cells and as a thermal barrier coating. Contributions to total revenues from these products during 2005 will not likely be significant, but such increases may lay the foundation for more substantial revenue in future years.

At May 5, 2005, we had 58,788,789 common shares issued and outstanding. As of that same date, there were outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,867,453 shares of common stock and options to purchase up to 2,621,700 shares of common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those related to long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These judgments and estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Changes to these judgments and estimates could adversely affect the Company`s future results of operations and cash flows.

• Long-Lived assets. Our long-lived assets consist principally of the nanomaterials and titanium dioxide pigment assets, the intellectual property (patents and patent applications) associated with those assets, and a building. At March 31, 2005, the carrying value of these assets was $7,277,666, or 18% of total assets. We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. In our evaluation, we estimate the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, and recognize impairment when such cash flows will be less than the carrying values. Events or circumstances that could indicate the existence of a possible impairment include obsolescence of the technology, an absence of market demand for the product, and/or the partial or complete lapse of technology rights protection.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Stock-Based Compensation. We have two stock option plans which provide for the issuance of common stock options to employees and service providers. Although SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages entities to adopt a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments, it also allows an entity to continue measuring compensation cost for stock-based compensation for employees and directors using the intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We have elected to follow the accounting provisions of APB 25 and to furnish the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS 123 for employees and directors, but we also issue warrants and options to non-employees that are recognized as expense when issued in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123. We calculate compensation expense under SFAS 123 using a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key assumptions used in the model. We believe the estimates we use, which are presented in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included above in this Form 10-Q, are appropriate and reasonable. As explained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued a revision to SFAS 123 that eliminates the alternative of applying the intrinsic value measurement provisions of APB 25. We are required to adopt the revised SFAS 123 no later than January 1, 2006. Although we have not yet quantified the effects of adoption, it is expected that the new standard will result in significant additional expense, depending upon the nature and amount of stock-based compensation awards which may be granted.

• Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or the service has been performed, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is probable. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, our revenues were derived from license fees, product sales, commercial collaborations and contracts and grants. License fees are recognized when the earnings process is complete. Revenue for product sales is recognized at the time the purchaser has accepted delivery of the product. Based on the specific terms and conditions of each contract or grant, revenues are recognized on a time and materials basis, a percentage of completion basis and/or a completed contract basis. Revenue under contracts based on time and materials is recognized at contractually billable rates as labor hours and expenses are incurred. Revenue under contracts based on a fixed fee arrangement is recognized based on various performance measures, such as stipulated milestones. As these milestones are achieved, revenue is recognized. From time to time, facts develop that may require us to revise our estimated total costs or revenues expected. The cumulative effect of revised estimates is recorded in the period in which the facts requiring revisions become known. The full amount of anticipated losses on any type of contract is recognized in the period in which it becomes known.

• Overhead Allocation. Facilities overhead, which is comprised primarily of occupancy and related expenses, is initially recorded in general and administrative expenses and then allocated monthly to research and development expense based on labor costs. Facilities overhead allocated to research and development projects may be chargeable when invoicing customers under certain research and development contracts.

• Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of accounts receivable. We analyze historical bad debts, the aging of customer accounts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. From period to period, differences in judgments or estimates utilized may result in material differences in the amount and timing of our bad debt expenses.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2004

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which was the first quarter of our 2005 fiscal year, totaled $2,245,959 ($.04 per share) compared to a net loss of $1,710,757 ($.04 per share) in the first quarter of 2004.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $1,027,580. We recorded $695,000 of license fees as the result of licensing RenaZorb™, a potential drug candidate for patients with kidney disease. Additional licensing revenues are contingent upon the achievement of various milestones in the testing and development of RenaZorb™, receipt of regulatory approvals and subsequent sale of RenaZorb™ products by our licensing partner. We had no licensing revenue during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Revenues from contracts and grants increased by $192,750, from $20,456 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $213,206 in the same quarter of 2005. Revenues were generated under three contracts to (1) provide research involving a technology used in the detection of chemical, biological and radiological agents, (2) supply nano-sized anode and cathode materials for design and development of high capacity lithium ion battery and super capacitor applications, and (3) provide research utilizing nanotechnology processes for the production and commercialization of solar-based hydrogen technologies. At March 31, 2005, our backlog of work under existing contracts was approximately $700,000. We anticipate that $400,000 to $500,000 of this work may be completed during the remainder of 2005.

Revenues from commercial collaborations decreased from $117,671 in the first quarter of 2004 to $96,266 in the first quarter of 2005 as a result of the completion of work on a project to provide custom oxide feedstocks for a titanium metal research program funded by the Department of Defense. The primary contractor has received a six-month extension to continue work and we expect to continue as a subcontractor in the extension period. A contract is expected to be signed during the second quarter of 2005.

Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by $388,865, from $392,670 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $781,535 in the same quarter of 2005. Labor costs increased significantly, from $188,000 in the first quarter of 2004 to $359,000 in the same quarter of 2005 due to new employee additions, . . .

da wird mal wieder der Kurs bewusst gedrückt - bei relativ hohem Umsatz - das Spielchen kenne ich inzwischen.

[Cyberworker]

Bin ja mal gespannt wie sich Alti diese Woche entwickeln wird. Was meint Ihr?

Wahrscheinlich läufts so ab wie immer. Die haben ja vor ein paar Tagen diese News rausgebracht(Positive Testreihe usw..) Dann sind so Idioten wie ich wieder eingestiegen. Jetzt wird der Wert schön gedrückt, dann folgen weitere positiven Nachrichten, der Wert zieht wieder an aber kurzfristig nix verdient...

Cyberworker

[beobachter47]

@cyberworker

kurzfristig ist da bestimmt nichts *verdient*. Aber schau Dir den Langfristchart an. Sollte sich die Entwicklung fortsetzen (Patente brauchen ihre Zeit!), dann sind große Sprünge möglich. Ich denke da langfristig (1 bis 2 Jahre).

Altair Nanotechnologies: Es ist nicht alles Sonne was scheint
Nanotech: Wunderumsätze in Wirklichkeit nicht herausragend

Altair Nanotechnologies: Es ist nicht alles Sonne was scheint

von Daniel Wilhelmi

Zuerst einmal zum alles beherrschenden Thema dieses Tages. Der Ausbruch des DAX? Nein. Der sinkende Ölpreis? Auf keinen Fall. Wir reden hier von dem wirklich wichtigen, alles überschattenden Thema: Dem dritten Star Wars-Film aus dem Krieg der Sterne-Weltraumepos. Sie wissen schon: Es geht um gute Jedi-Ritter, die böse, dunkle Seite der Macht, Roboter und Weltraummonster. Über gute Kontakte habe ich mir noch 2 Karten für eine der gestrigen Voraufführungen ergattern können, bevor der Film heute offiziell in den Kinos startet.

Mein Urteil: Ich war nicht sonderlich begeistert. Jedenfalls deutlich weniger als die anderen Fans im Kino, die den Film bejubelten. Meiner Meinung nach ist der Film keine 8,50 Euro wert und eine Warnung noch dazu: Wenn Sie kleine Kinder haben, die vom Star Wars-Hype angesteckt sind und den Film unbedingt sehen wollen: Dieser Film ist ganz anders als die andere Krieg der Sterne-Filme. Er ist für die Star Wars-Märchen ungewöhnlich brutal und vor allem in der zweiten Hälfte extrem düster.

Ich weiß, dass die Kids von heute abgehärteter sind als ich damals, aber ich hätte als kleines Kind nach dem Film jedenfalls erst einmal 3 Tage nicht schlafen können.

Altair Nanotechnologies: Es ist nicht alles Sonne was scheint

Damit zu den Börsen. Heute möchte ich auf einen Bereich eingehen, der nach einem kurzen Megahype vor 1,5 Jahren schon fast wieder in Vergessenheit geraten ist: Die Nanotechnologie. Aus etlichen Zuschriften von Taipan-Lesern wissen wir, dass sehr viele von Ihnen diesen völlig aus der Mode gekommenen Bereich immer noch ganz oben auf ihrer Watchlist haben. Und das absolut zu Recht. Denn die Nanotechnologie wird eine der Zukunftsbranchen überhaupt sein. Daran besteht überhaupt kein Zweifel. Nur hat sich hier die Spreu noch nicht vom Weizen getrennt.

Schauen Sie sich den absoluten Nanotech-Liebling Altair Nanotechnologies (ALTI-Nasdaq) an. Altair hat vor 1 Woche seine jüngsten Quartalszahlen für das 1. Quartal 2005 vorgelegt, woraufhin die Aktie vorbörslich um 14% nach oben schoss. Ein Hype wie in besten Neue-Markt-Zeiten. Der Grund: die Umsätze konnten von 139,749 US$ im Vorjahresquartal auf jetzt 1,02 Mio. US$ gesteigert werden. Das sind satte 638,8%. Nun, dass ist eine beeindruckende Hausmarke, das gebe ich zu. Das sah auch das Management so, und feierte sich dafür auf dem Conference-Call und in Jubel-Presseverlautbarungen selbst, als hätten sie die Champions-Liga gewonnen. Nun, ich habe drauf hin die Zahlen mal auseinander genommen, und siehe da: Die Wahrheit sieht mal eben ganz anders aus.



ANZEIGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultraschnelle Aktiengewinne für Trader!

Mit einem internationalen Research-Team suchen wir weltweit nach den lukrativsten Trading-Chancen. Das Ziel: hohe Profite in kürzester Zeit. Der Aktien Trader konzentriert sich auf die Bereiche Emerging Markets, Pharma, Biotech, Hightech.

Also auf alles, wo Gewinnsprünge an der Tagesordnung sind. Der Erfolg dieser Anlagemethode spricht für sich: 124,01 Prozent realisierter Gewinn in 2004!

Wenn Sie mehr wissen möchten:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Nanotech: Wunderumsätze in Wirklichkeit nicht herausragend
Rollen wir das Feld von hinten auf und fangen mit den Gewinnen an: Offiziell erfreulich lag der Verlust nach 0,04 US$ pro Aktie im Vorquartal in den abgelaufenen 3 Monaten ebenfalls bei 0,04 US$. Klingt erst einmal okay. Aber dieses Ergebnis liegt an einer extremen Erhöhung der ausstehenden Aktien, nämlich um satte 14,5%. Wenn man mehr Aktien ausgibt, dann verbessert sich natürlich auch die Gewinn/-Verlustsituation pro Aktie. Aber das ist reine Optik. Tatsächlich wird das Ergebnis pro Aktie massiv verwässert. In Wirklichkeit ist der Verlust nämlich nicht konstant geblieben, sondern wurde mal eben um 30,9% von 1,71 Mio. US$ im 1. Quartal 2004 auf jetzt 2,24 Mio. US$ gesteigert.

Kommen wir damit zum Umsatz, der ja angeblich so herausragend war. Tatsächlich ist es aber so, dass fast der gesamte Umsatz auf eine einzige Lizenzzahlung von Spectrum Pharmaceuticlas zurückgeht. Und um diesen Deal zu bekommen, musste Altair 500.000 US$ in Marketing-Consulting-Gebühren zahlen. Wenn die Produkte von Altair so toll sind, warum muss sich die kleine Firma dann ihre Umsätze so teuer erkaufen? Einen Ausblick für 2005 gab das Management übrigens nicht: Man murmelte was von "erwarten einige Deals", um dann sofort zu beschreiben, welche phantastischen Möglichkeiten die eignen Nanotech-Produkte besitzen - und, ach ja, der Umsatz sei um 638,8% gestiegen. Alles sehr wage, sehr dunkel. Dunkel wie in der dunklen Seite der Macht.

Auf Fragen, wann die Gewinnschwelle erreicht werden könnte, reagierte man mit dem Verweis, dass die Cash-Positionen massiv um 298,1% von 8,04 Mio. US$ auf jetzt 32,01 Mio. US$ aufgestockt wurden. Was nicht gesagt wurde ist, dass die kurzfristigen Verbindlichkeiten im gleichen Zeitraum um 406,1% anstiegen. Stattdessen versicherte das Management, dass die gegenwärtige Cash-Burn-Rate locker einige Jahre ausreichen werde. Das zeigt mir nur eines: Gewinne sind bei Altair nicht einmal annährend an irgendeinem Horizont zu sehen.

Solche Zahlen sind keine Basis für ein seriöses langfristiges Nanotech-Investment. Für einen Trade jederzeit - da bin ich sofort dabei. Aber wenn Sie langfristig in Nanotechs investieren wollen, ohne dabei russisches Roulett zu spielen, dann ist Altair trotz allem Hype für Sie kein Kauf.

Das sagt doch alles .... und noch mehr:



Dr. Alan Gotcher
President and Chief Executive Officer
Altair Nanotechnologies, Inc.
204 Edison Way
Reno, Nevada 89502


Dear Alan:


On May 25, 2005, Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (the “Company” or “Altair”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosing my resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors. The Form 8-K included as an exhibit my letter of resignation summarizing specific concerns regarding the direction of the Company and its promotional activities related to materials for battery electrodes. As permitted by Item 5.02(a)(3) of Form 8-K, this letter is intended to set forth my disagreement with statements made by the Company in the Form 8-K and to explain in further detail my reasons for resigning from the Board of Directors.


In the Form 8-K, the Company inappropriately characterizes my concerns regarding Altair as a “personal and policy grievance,” and states that I have chosen an “inappropriate forum and means for airing” these grievances. As stated clearly in my resignation letter, the primary reason for my resignation relates to concern that the shareholders of Altair may be misled by Company publicity regarding the commercial promise of certain “revolutionary” battery materials and Altair’s development agreement with Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc. (“ABAT”). The Company’s recent announcements regarding these battery breakthroughs appear to be a mere regurgitation of press releases issued by the Company as far back as 2001. Despite my numerous attempts to address these concerns internally, Company management and the Board of Directors failed to show a sincere interest in investigating these matters. Thus, after much consideration, I decided to disclose these issues to the Company’s public shareholders - the forum that Company management refers to as “inappropriate.”


Recent Company disclosures and news releases, including the Form 8-K, are in my opinion excessively optimistic in promoting the present and future value and potential of the use of Altair battery materials in advanced lithium ion batteries. In addition, the Company continues to overstate the capacity of ABAT to make anything beyond standard polymer lithium ion batteries. While it is true that Altair has for some time produced lithium titanate spinel materials that show the ability to provide rapid charge and discharge rates in test and prototype thin film lithium ion batteries, it is highly improper for the Company to publicly announce that these results will allow for commercial opportunities specifically for the production of lithium ion batteries for use in cars, buses and power tools. Numerous significant advances must be made in lithium ion battery technology before such batteries can be used for these difficult applications. Even if such advancements can be made, it seems unlikely that that Altair or its new “partner,” ABAT, a penny-stock company that by its own admission lacks sufficient capital to carry out its business plan, will contribute to such developments.

wie seht ihr eigentlich den toshiba akku? denkt ihr nicht, eine firma wie toshiba vermarktet sein produkt wesentlich einfacher als altair?

ich weiß nicht, welche unterschiede es in der technologie gibt, vielleicht kann ja jemand was dazu sagen

[Tom35606]

Ich glaube der Bedarf an leistungsfähigen und schnell aufladbaren Akkus ist und wird immer weiter zunehmen. Derzeit versucht man ja immer mehr Funktionen auf Handys und Pocket PC`s zu bringen, die früher nur auf einen PC liefen. Und dies wird sich die nächsten Jahre noch verstärkt fortsetzen. TV auf dem Handy - dank UMTS. Handys werden sicher die nächsten Jahre immer mehr zur Digital Camera und bekommen noch jede Menge weiterer Funktionen dazu. Auch im Bereich Laptops ist die Standby Zeit immer mehr ein Verkaufsagument. Ich denke das der Markt mehr als nur einen Lieferanten verkraftet....

[schachfrucht]

DEFINITIV keine neue Meldung (# ...
DEFINITIV kein Eindecken der Shorties (so ein Schmarrn)...

Investment Conclusion: We are reiterating our Buy rating with a $4 price target based on
discounted 2008 revenue estimates. We believe ALTI stock is still in a “show me” mode and
has been trading in a tight range around $2.95. We believe auto batteries represent a $100
million annual opportunity for Altair in the long-run. In our view, long-term investors should
build positions now as we expect news to continue to get better.

6000 Stück Alti das ist schon ganz schön viel. Ich weis ja nicht zu welchen Kurs du eingestiegen bist, aber ruhig schlafen kannst du mit dieser Aktie nicht. Wie du siehst erst stark rauf und noch schneller wieder runter. Kaufen und liegen lassen kannst du vergessen. Ich hab zwar auch welche auch mit Gewinn, aber das Teil kommt nicht vom Fleck. Der Chart sieht nicht schlecht aus, aber es gibt bessere Aktien. Ich wünsche dir und uns viel Glück das es doch endlich nach oben geht.

Und wenn man sich die Tatsache vor Augen hält, dass das eigene Management der Firma beim Hype im Februar verkauft hat, und keine eigenen Aktien mehr hält..Gute Nacht. Vorallem denke ich,das sagt eine Menge darüber aus, wo der eigentliche Wert der Aktie gesehen wird. Den wesentlichen Inhalt dieses Kommentars hab ich von einem Autor von www.wissen-fuer-investoren.de, dessen Meinung ich eigentlich teile. Mich würde interessieren

Fusa Capital Corp. Register...
WKN: A0F5X0 , ISIN: US36112Y1047
http://www.wallstreet-online.de/si/news/news/stocknews.inc?m…

200%-Chance mit revolutionärer Internet-Technologie

Nach Einschätzung der Experten von Trading INSIDER bietet die brandaktuelle patentierte Suchmaschinentechnologie von FUSA Capital (WKN: A0F5X0) enormes Aufwärtspotenzial für die Aktie. Als moderner Internetnutzer kennt man das Problem: Man sucht einen Video- oder Audiobeitrag im World Wide Web und findet statt des gewünschten Videos eine Fülle von Textergebnissen mit unendlich vielen Links. Herkömmliche Suchmaschinen sind nicht in der Lage, den Kunden direkt zum gewünschten Video zu führen. FUSA Capitals Technologie schließt nun diese Lücke: Mit Ihrer Hilfe kommt der Suchende problemlos, schnell und präzise zum angeforderten Medium.

Diese Innovation birgt sensationelles Potenzial! Das Unternehmen aus Seattle schickt sich mit diesem revolutionären Ansatz an, den Marktführern der Suchmaschinenbranche ernsthafte Konkurrenz zu machen. Dank seiner patentierten Technologie zählt FUSA derzeit zu den chancenreichsten Titeln in diesem Segment.

Im Jahr 2004 wurden weltweit bereits 14 Milliarden Videos über das Internet konsumiert. Experten schätzen, dass die Zahlen im Jahr 2005 noch auf über 21 Milliarden steigen werden. Für 2007 werden sogar über 35 Milliarden prognostiziert. Der Bereich, in dem FUSA Capital tätig ist, zeichnet sich also durch explosive Wachstumsdynamik aus. Die Steigerungsraten betragen bis zu 48% pro Jahr.

Der rapide steigende Anteil von Video- und Audioangeboten im Internet macht eine hoch spezialisierte, effiziente und benutzerfreundliche Suchmaschinentechnologie notwendig, die in der Lage ist, aus dem mittlerweile unüberschaubaren Arsenal von Inhalten die gewünschten Suchergebnisse präzise herauszufiltern. Hierzu bedarf es klarer Suchparameter und innovativer Verknüpfungsmöglichkeiten Gerade in diesem Kontext haben die traditionellen Suchmaschinen große Defizite

FUSA Capital hat das Zeug, vor einer ähnlich revolutionären Aufwärtsbewegung zu stehen, wie es vor Jahren bei Google und Yahoo der Fall gewesen ist. Die technologische Innovation des Unternehmens ist so wegweisend, dass auf absehbare Zeit kein Anbieter an ihr vorbeikommen wird. Yahoo und Google arbeiten bereits fieberhaft an vergleichbaren Systemen, liegen aber in der Entwicklungsstufe hoffnungslos hinter FUSA: Mit seinem neuen Webauftritt (www.searchforvideo.com) wurde nun ein großen Sprung nach vorne vollzogen. Die Suchmaschine ist der derzeit größte Online-Video-Suchdienst im Netz. Anfang September gab FUSA zudem bekannt, dass jetzt bereits das vierte und fünfte Patent zur Anmeldung eingereicht wurde. Mit diesen Patenten sollen die Erfindungen der Firma weiter gesichert und zukünftig vor Wettbewerbern geschützt werden. Sollte es zu einer schnellen Entscheidung kommen, entstehen langfristig hohe Markteintrittsbarrieren für Wettbewerber.

Es ist daher zu erwarten, dass FUSA Marktführer in einem Segment wird, das zu den dynamischsten Sektoren im Informationsbusiness gehört. Experten erwarten weiter, dass Online-Broadcasting sehr bald zu einer ernsthaften Konkurrenz für das herkömmliche TV wird. Mit FUSA ist man bestens auf diese Entwicklung eingestellt, denn es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die traditionelle Suchmaschinentechnologie unter der Last der exponentiell wachsenden Suchergebnisse zusammenbrechen wird.

FUSA Capital steht am Beginn einer riesigen Expansionsstory. Anleger können jetzt frühzeitig an der zu erwartenden rasanten Entwicklung des Unternehmens partizipieren, denn FUSA hat nun mit der Umsetzung und Vermarktung seiner Technologie begonnen und damit die Basis geschaffen, um sich am Markt zu etablieren.

Die brandaktuelle patentierte Suchmaschinentechnologie von FUSA Capital (WKN: A0F5X0) schließt nun diese Lücke: Mit Ihrer Hilfe kommt der Suchende problemlos, schnell und präzise zum angeforderten Medium. Diese Innovation birgt sensationelles Potenzial! Das Unternehmen aus Seattle schickt sich mit diesem revolutionären Ansatz an, den Marktführern der Suchmaschinenbranche ernsthafte Konkurrenz zu machen. Dank seiner patentierten Technologie zählt FUSA derzeit zu den chancenreichsten Titeln in diesem Segment.

Im Jahr 2004 wurden weltweit bereits 14 Milliarden Videos über das Internet konsumiert. Experten schätzen, dass die Zahlen im Jahr 2005 noch auf über 21 Milliarden steigen werden. Für 2007 werden sogar über 35 Milliarden prognostiziert. Der Bereich, in dem FUSA Capital tätig ist, zeichnet sich also durch explosive Wachstumsdynamik aus. Die Steigerungsraten betragen bis zu 48% pro Jahr. Der rapide steigende Anteil von Video- und Audioangeboten im Internet macht eine hoch spezialisierte, effiziente und benutzerfreundliche Suchmaschinentechnologie notwendig, die in der Lage ist, aus dem mittlerweile unüberschaubaren Arsenal von Inhalten die gewünschten Suchergebnisse präzise herauszufiltern. Hierzu bedarf es klarer Suchparameter und innovativer Verknüpfungsmöglichkeiten Gerade in diesem Kontext haben die traditionellen Suchmaschinen große Defizite.

FUSA Capital hat das Zeug, vor einer ähnlich revolutionären Aufwärtsbewegung zu stehen, wie es vor Jahren bei Google und Yahoo der Fall gewesen ist. Die technologische Innovation des Unternehmens ist so wegweisend, dass auf absehbare Zeit kein Anbieter an ihr vorbeikommen wird. Yahoo und Google arbeiten bereits fieberhaft an vergleichbaren Systemen, liegen aber in der Entwicklungsstufe hoffnungslos hinter FUSA: Mit seinem neuen Webauftritt ( www.searchforvideo.com ) wurde nun ein großen Sprung nach vorne vollzogen. Die Suchmaschine ist der derzeit größte Online-Video-Suchdienst im Netz. Anfang September gab FUSA zudem bekannt, dass jetzt bereits das vierte und fünfte Patent zur Anmeldung eingereicht wurde. Mit diesen Patenten sollen die Erfindungen der Firma weiter gesichert und zukünftig vor Wettbewerbern geschützt werden. Sollte es zu einer schnellen Entscheidung kommen, entstehen langfristig hohe Markteintrittsbarrieren für Wettbewerber.

Es ist daher zu erwarten, dass FUSA Marktführer in einem Segment wird, das zu den dynamischsten Sektoren im Informationsbusiness gehört. Experten erwarten weiter, dass Online-Broadcasting sehr bald zu einer ernsthaften Konkurrenz für das herkömmliche TV wird. Mit FUSA ist man bestens auf diese Entwicklung eingestellt, denn es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die traditionelle Suchmaschinentechnologie unter der Last der exponentiell wachsenden Suchergebnisse zusammenbrechen wird.

FUSA Capital steht am Beginn einer riesigen Expansionsstory. Anleger können jetzt frühzeitig an der zu erwartenden rasanten Entwicklung des Unternehmens partizipieren. Auf Jahressicht ergibt sich für die Aktie ein erhebliches Steigerungspotenzial um bis zu 200%, denn FUSA hat nun mit der Umsetzung und Vermarktung seiner Technologie begonnen und damit die Basis geschaffen, um sich am Markt zu etablieren.

Are You a Venture Capitalist?
"Venture capitalism" is composed of two parts. "Venture," as in "nothing ventured, nothing gained." And "capital," as in "you`d better have a lot of it."

By Rich Smith
September 16, 2005

"Venture capitalist." It`s right up there in the top-10 list of cool job titles, along with "captain of industry," "steel magnate," and "robber baron."

Who wouldn`t want to be a venture capitalist? Wielding millions of dollars. Financing start-ups. Becoming wealthier than in your wildest dreams when you bring the next Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) to market.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
The job of a venture capitalist, simply put, is to provide the capital necessary to get a private venture off the ground. To invest in a small company with big ideas but generally with no profits in sight. To keep it on life support until it`s strong enough to make it on its own -- and then cash out and make a bundle of green.

Should that hoped-for payday arrive, the venture capitalist stands to win a rich reward for his or her patience, faith in the start-up, and, most of all, courage in taking the huge risk of sinking his or her cash into a money-losing venture.

Capital with a capital C-note
But the venture capitalist may face a long road ahead before that payday arrives. The start-up is burning cash like there`s no tomorrow, and there`s no certainty that its business plan will ever pan out. So in addition to being faithful, patient, and courageous, a venture capitalist must be one thing above all else: rich.

Whether we`re talking about a wealthy individual with lots of money and even more time to spare, or a private equity fund managing the dollars of thousands of such individuals, it`s money that makes the venture world go `round. Because in the world of venture capitalists, you have to hedge your bets. Invest all your cash in a single start-up that goes bust, and you`re left with nothing with which to rebuild your fortune. So professional venture capitalists invest lots of money in lots of companies, in hopes that on average, enough of the businesses will make it to IPO day to get the venture capitalists off the hook for their losses.

But if -- oh, happy day -- these companies eventually do go public, they no longer need their "angel" investors. They`ve found a new source of funds. You.

If, after five minutes of playing poker, you don`t know who the patsy is ...
From your perspective, an initial public offering may look like an opportunity to buy into "the next big thing." But from the company`s perspective, that`s not the point at all. The company looks at an IPO as a chance to raise cash quick. Again, from you.

The problem, of course, is that a lot of companies go public when they`re still not ready for prime time. The venture capitalists are sick and tired of funding a money loser. They want a return on their investment, but more importantly, they want out. Meanwhile, the company still has electric bills arriving monthly, and every two weeks those darned employees want to see a paycheck. So cash must be found if the company is to stay alive. And that`s where you come in.

The next big thing
This, my friends, is how money-losing companies come to market. The analysts, the underwriters, and the companies themselves all trumpet the new company`s "potential," the "estimated size of the target market by 2010," the "compound annual rate of revenue growth." But the financial statements tell a different story. Buying into the hype, you may think you`re investing in the next big thing. But the reality is -- POOF! -- you`ve become a venture capitalist, financing a money-losing start-up.

And not just any old venture capitalist, but an undercapitalized (check your brokerage statement), insufficiently diversified venture capitalist at that. Consider the chart below.

Company Market cap Total losses over the past five years
Altair Nanotechnologies (Nasdaq: ALTI) $160 million $37 million
Aastrom Biosciences (Nasdaq: ASTM) $220 million $43 million
Biomira (Nasdaq: BIOM) $130 million $128 million
EntreMed
(Nasdaq: ENMD) $130 million $163 million
WorldGate Communications (Nasdaq: WGAT) $120 million $130 million


Maybe you own one of these companies. Maybe you own two. Maybe you own none. But do you own them all? It`s certainly possible that one or more of them will succeed if given enough time. But which one? And if you sink all of your money into one of these names, and it`s not the right one, then you could be in some serious trouble.

What`s more, even the company that does succeed will need some time to reverse its losses, to start earning profits, and to become a financially sound company. In the meantime, while its losses continue, the company must take on debt or sell more shares -- diluting the ownership stake that you`ve paid good money to acquire. The alternative is to turn off the lights, show the employees the door, file for bankruptcy, and carry your money into oblivion.

So, seriously. Are you a venture capitalist?
If not, then stop acting as though you`ve got money to burn. At The Motley Fool, we`ve been telling you for years that the way to make money in stocks is to invest in financially sound, responsibly managed, profitable companies. Companies with a track record of making money for their owners.

Over the past 14 months, the Motley Fool Inside Value newsletter has beaten the average returns of the S&P 500 by an average 3-to-1 margin. And we`ve done it not by investing in prematurely public start-ups, but by carefully researching and recommending to our readers high-quality, low-priced, rock-solid performers the likes of Federated Investors (NYSE: FII) -- up more than 12% in the six months since lead analyst Philip Durell picked it.

And here`s the good news. This, too, can be where you come in. With just the click of your mouse, you can take a free, 30-day trial of Inside Value. There`s no obligation to continue if you`re for any reason unsatisfied -- cancel any time in the first month, and you won`t pay a dime.

It`s the lowest-risk investment you`ll ever make, whether you`re a venture capitalist or not.

ANALYST DOWNGRADE INCORRECTLY LINKED TO ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES COMMON STOCK SYMBOL


Reno, NV – September 22, 2005 – Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI), RBC Dain Rauscher issued a downgrade of the common stock price pertaining to a company covered by its research group. The company, which trades on the NASDAQ Trading System, has a common stock symbol similar to that of Altair`s common stock, ALTI.

Due to the similarity of the stock symbols, the downgrade was inadvertently picked up by various newswire services and disseminated under Altair Nanotechnologies` common stock symbol ALTI. RBC Dain Rauscher`s research group does not provide research coverage on Altair Nanotechnologies nor did the company issue a downgrade of Altair`s stock price.

ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS BATTERY INITIATIVE FOR RAPID IMPLEMENTION OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY ELECTRODE TECHNOLOGY

ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS BATTERY INITIATIVE FOR RAPID IMPLEMENTION OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY ELECTRODE TECHNOLOGY

Reno, NV – September 28, 2005 – Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI), today announced that it has expanded its research, product development, manufacturing and marketing groups with the addition of eleven highly qualified advanced battery scientists, engineers, manufacturing and marketing specialists. These battery experts and specialists, mainly comprised of former Delphi and GM employees, have worked for over a decade building expertise in the development and manufacture of advanced lithium battery technologies for automotive applications, including hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and other consumer, industrial and military applications.


The mission of the expanded Altairnano battery team is to accelerate the development of Altairnano`s proprietary next generation nano-structured battery electrode materials and provide new capabilities to manufacture in-house prototype lithium ion cells, batteries and battery packs and increase Altairnano`s product application testing capabilities. The additional electrode materials research and development personnel will be located in Altairnano`s corporate offices, laboratories and manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada, augmenting Altairnano`s present R&D and manufacturing teams. New personnel for development, testing and manufacturing of prototype lithium ion cells, batteries and battery packs incorporating Altairnano`s nano-structured electrode materials for application development will move to a new facility located in central Indiana. Business development, marketing and sales personnel will also be located in the Indiana facility, which is in close proximity to target markets and key suppliers.


"We are confident that the addition of this unique battery expertise and skills will strengthen Altairnano`s battery initiative and increase our capability to demonstrate nano-structured electrode materials performance in cells, batteries and battery pack products which will be produced in our in-house manufacturing facility," commented Altairnano CEO and President Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D. said, "Our patented technology, combined with the additional battery expertise, is expected to accelerate our efforts to bring to the marketplace our electrode materials in innovative lithium ion powered batteries that exhibit rapid charge and discharge, longer life and a safe, environmentally clean (green) alternative energy source capable of replacing battery systems that are environmentally unfriendly and incapable of producing the high charge and discharge rates required to meet many demands for "green" batteries.


Why Altairnano`s Materials Are "Green", Safe and Produce Higher Charge/Discharge Rates

Altairnano`s environmentally friendly nano titanate spinel electrode materials are expected to be combined with other "green" materials that utilize manganese or iron phosphate. These materials are a departure from today`s industrial batteries that contain lead, acid, cobalt, cadmium, nickel and other hazardous materials used in rechargeable batteries currently available in Altairnano`s target markets. Additionally, in contrast with graphite electrodes currently used in lithium ion batteries, the nano titanium-based anode are expected to safely operate in the thermodynamically stable voltage window of available existing electrolytes. The ionic transport capacity through the nano-structured materials provides high charge and discharge rates resulting in high power ratings when needed.

Hallo hier die Zahlen für 2005


ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES REPORTS 133 PERCENT REVENUE INCREASE FOR FISCAL 2005

ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES REPORTS 133 PERCENT REVENUE INCREASE FOR FISCAL 2005

RENO, NV -- March 10, 2006 -- Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today reported financial results for its year ended December 31, 2005.

Altairnano reported revenue of approximately $2.8 million, a 133 percent increase, when compared to revenue of approximately $1.2 million for fiscal 2004.

"We are pleased with our financial results and revenue growth for fiscal 2005," commented Altairnano Chief Executive Officer and President Alan, J. Gotcher, Ph.D. "Revenue from contracts and grants increased 92 percent, while revenue generated from commercial collaborations increased more than 49 percent during fiscal 2005. Sales of battery electrode materials and thermal spray materials drove product revenue from $7,503 in fiscal 2004 to approximately $149,000 in 2005."

Dr. Gotcher continued, "We are experiencing solid business development progress with the advancement of our battery initiative, testing of our thermal spray nanoparticles, expansion of our pigment platform, and ongoing development of Renalan, our pharmaceutical product for the treatment of elevated phosphate levels in companion animals. We expect a number of commercial opportunities in these markets to begin producing recurring and sustainable revenue during 2006."

The net loss for fiscal 2005 increased by 43 percent to approximately $10 million, or a net loss per share of $0.17, versus a net loss of $7 million, or a net loss per share of $0.14, for fiscal 2004. The increase in expenditures is associated with increased efforts in product development, marketing and sales initiatives.

"During 2005, our operating expenses increased due in part to additional laboratory facilities in Reno, Nevada, new manufacturing operations in Indiana, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and non-cash charges such as stock option compensation expenses," commented Altairnano Chief Financial Officer Edward Dickinson. "In support of our growth strategy and development plans for fiscal 2005 and 2006, these increases are due in part to the investment in our battery initiative and increased business development efforts."

Dickinson continued, "Net cash used in operations averaged approximately $556,000 per month for the first three quarters, and approximately $942,000 per month during the fourth quarter, as we hired additional personnel and continued to increase investments in product and business development."

As of December 31, 2005, Altairnano`s balance sheet was strong, with a cash position and short term investments of approximately $23 million, compared to $7.4 million at December 31, 2004. With the exception of a $3.0 million promissory note to acquire its Reno, Nevada facilities, the company has no debt of consequence.

Please join a conference call with Altairnano`s management team for an update of the company`s financial results and principal product developments. The conference call is being held today, March 10, 2006, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. The dial-in number is 973-935-2981 and the conference number is 7115926.

The Korean government has mandated that companies sell environmentally friendly vehicles, up to the equivalent of 1.5 percent of their annual sales in 2006, and will raise the ratio to two percent in 2007, three percent in 2008, six percent in 2009 and 6.6 percent by 2010. Automotive manufacturers such as Hyundai Motor, Kia Motors, Renault Samsung Motors, Ssangyong Motor, and GM Daewoo, are subject to this new regulation.



"Korea presents a potentially sizeable market opportunity for Altairnano`s nano-structured electrode materials and lithium ion battery technology," said Altair President and CEO Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D. "We are pleased to have Sam Hahn and Impro, Inc. exclusively represent Altairnano`s battery product technology in Korea. Given their contacts and reputation in one of our target markets, coupled with the need for the Korean automotive and battery industries to meet government requirements for environmentally friendly vehicles, we anticipate our high power rechargeable lithium materials, batteries and battery systems may provide the product technology needed to improve hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicle performance."



ABOUT IMPRO INC.

Impro is a consultant to the automotive industry on regulatory issues and a provider of regulatory testing equipment, simulation systems and safety test equipment to the Korean automotive industry. The company has partnered with a U.S.-based company to provide homologation technical services to a number of automotive manufacturers.

Altair Nanotechnologies Enters Into Supply and Distribution Agreement With Sulzer Metco
Leading Supplier of Thermal Spray Materials and Equipment Signs Supply and Distribution Agreement With Altairnano
Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTI) today announced that it has entered into a supply and distribution agreement with Sulzer Metco, a world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of thermal spray materials, equipment and integrated system solutions for the industrial market. Sulzer Metco, with revenues in excess of $450 million, is the second largest division of Sulzer, a $2 billion a year publicly traded Swiss company.

Under the terms of the agreement, Altairnano and Sulzer Metco have agreed upon a framework to supply and sell what is projected to be tons of nano-structured titanium dioxide and nano-structured yttria stabilized zirconium oxide. The parties will determine which Altair nano-structured powders will be manufactured and licensed for thermal spray applications and develop a five-year marketing and distribution plan outlining projected purchase quantities, pricing, and marketing plans for the product. Once an Altairnano nano-structured powder is designated to be supplied under the agreement, Sulzer Metco has the right to be the exclusive distributor of that product in the spray coating field assuming that certain purchase and other commitments are met.

"Our agreement with Sulzer Metco is indicative of our strategy to work with leaders within targeted industries," commented Altairnano President and CEO Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D. "The thermal spray market, with annual revenues in excess of $1.5 billion, presents an excellent opportunity for use of our innovative materials. Combining Sulzer Metco's industry expertise with Altairnano's nano-structured materials has the potential to deliver improved strength, performance and longer life for thermal spray coatings over coatings from conventional materials that have been used in the thermal spray industry."

"To maintain our competitive edge and increase market share, we are constantly seeking new technologies to enhance our product offerings," said Sulzer Metco Vice President, Ceramics & Clad Composites Michael Mueller. "We believe that Altairnano's nano-structured powders will increase the adhesiveness of our thermal coatings, improve their thermal barrier performance and provide improved corrosion and abrasion resistance. These enhanced thermal spray coating materials may provide new market opportunities for our company, especially within major gas turbine and aerospace companies."

Thermal spray coating involves the use of a torch to heat a material to a molten or near-molten state and the use of a gas to propel the material onto a metal substrate. Thermal coatings are used as a thermal barrier to protect metal from high temperatures, such as industrial gas turbines, and in applications requiring abrasion or chemical resistance, such as industrial valves and piping exposed to highly corrosive or abrasive environments. The coatings are a highly cost-effective and straightforward method for providing a mechanical and chemical resistant protective barrier which can extend product life, increase performance and reduce production and maintenance costs, especially in extreme conditions.

Warning for ALTI longs
for those who have sell orders with hold until confirmed.
Please be sure your price is set high enough so you will not be dissapointed if your order is filled in a run up. Due to the recient msg activity on the Yahoo msg board a large institution may be taking a position in ALTI. We will know in several weeks. This is speculated because of ALTI's 1000% higher institution activity than others in the field like NANX. My concern is this. If this position is taken by a hedge fund, they may create a frenzy of activity while they unload some of their position. So if 10 million to 30 million shares trade in one day on the next or subsequent PR, we might see a significant run up. Please be careful here, I don't want to be responsible for someone selling their shares when they might not have wished to. I have no intention of trying to sell at the top. However, I don't want to sell automatically at say $5.12 only to find out it closed at $12.00 at the end of the day. Please be cautious until we find out who is purchasing ALTI.

Ich glaube die Zeit, daß Hedge Fonds ihre Anteile schon veräußern ist noch nicht gekommen! Im Gegenteil, ich denke sie fangen jetzt erst an einzukaufen. Ähnliches Gerücht gibt es bei der Telekom, da sollen div. Hedgefonds den Kurs bis auf 20 € demnächst treiben.

Jedenfalls den Chart im Auge behalten. Bisher ist alles grün!

[beobachter47]

heute scheinen die 4 Dollar zu halten

[Boersi]

Klasse Ausgang heute bei Altair!

Schlusskurs fast auf Tageshoch: 4,14 US$. Der Chart sieht super aus. Der Ausbruch wurde bestätigt. Auf Schlusskursbasis gab es heute ein neues 52-Wochen-Hoch.







"Leider" ist mir mit dem W:0 Chart nicht aufgefallen, daß vor 7 Tagen auch bei Altair sich ein "Bullish Engulfing" gebildet hat, welches wohl nun bestätigt sein sollte. Erstes Kursziel 4,70 US$. Je nach Dynamik kann dieses jedoch auch schnell durchstossen werden

[beobachter47]

und die 4 Dollar haben gehalten

[beobachter47]

aufgrund der Nachrichtensituation reagierte Altair bislang immer sehr verhalten. Dieser Schlusskurs heute dürfte der Beginn eines rasanten Anstiegs sein.

[beobachter47]

die 4 Dollar haben wir jetzt. das könnte es momentan gewesen sein. Stopp zu setzen ist jetzt ratsam, wenn man nicht in die Falle tappen will.

[The_Future_Is_Now]

und wie hoch sollte der stopp jetzt in € gesetzt werden?!?

was wäre geschickt?? 3€?

[The_Future_Is_Now]

hab mal auf 3 € den Stop gesetzt. Nur blöd wenn man ausgestoppt wird!!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.363.542 von The_Future_Is_Now am 28.04.06 14:13:54

Habe meinen Stopkurs nur im Kopf gesetzt, dann kann ich nach unterschreiten meiner virtuellen Marke immer noch entscheiden, ob ich wirklich verkaufe! (sollte man nur machen, wenn man auch täglich Zeit hat, den Kurs zu verfolgen!)

[beobachter47]

das sieht für einen Freitag Abend sehr gut aus .

@boersi:
Stoppkurse setzt man am besten da, wo man am wenigsten dabei verliert. Meiner liegt momentan bei 2,55 - nur für den Fall, dass alle Stricke reißen. Bei Altair weiß man bei der Hebelung momentan nicht.
Die 4,20 Dollar sind offenbar eine heftige Widerstandszone. Um den Kurs vollends nach oben zu bringen (All-Time-High und darüber), müssten jetzt die News kommen. Alle Investierte warten darauf

[Boersi]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 21.371.478 von beobachter47 am 28.04.06 22:03:09

Wow, ganz schön großzügig dein Stop, da hätteste aber schon ganz schön wieder abgegeben von jetzigen High bei ca. 4,50 US $.

Mein virtueller Stopp liegt vorerst mal bei ca. 3,60 US $. Solange diese Marke nicht durchstossen wird, sollte soweit nix anbrennen.
