    The company only did $2000 in sales and showed a net loss of $849,000 two Q ago.
    I'm not touching that.

    Why not go to rail systems? - ala Electric Future style. (it's in my blog somewhere, go look if you're interested. Solves pollution, and increases travel speeds past the 100 mile per hour benchmark)

    here's the drawback with rail (at least in the US) - no one wants to use it. unless they live in a big city.

    You'd have to read the Electric Future series to understand. Railed highways. Not trains.

    No , we are nearing postmodern world, more like the age of a horse and buggy. May not be within 5 years, but sooner or later

    I really haven't got a clue. Technology is expanding very fast so it may be sooner than latter. But, If it runs on gas maybe not.:p

    Not unless they can get it into mass production. The costs are still too high although there are many companies working on it.

    One thing to consider, we all know how dangerous drink drivers are.

    Imagine some fooker "drink flying" back from the pub late in the evening LMFAO! It would be a recipe for disaster.

    Yea true Profits, but their goal is to get price down to 80,000 within 5 years. Its so fun to watch stocks when im not in the market. I started out with a great group of guys called the hevy traders. turned 40k into 225k in one year with them. Then i got arrogant and tried it on my own and lost it all lol.
    If anyone knows what happened to those guys can u let me know. Those were crazy days. As far as this stock i wouldnt touch it also. If i was in the market i would wait for it to come down to pre 3 month low.
