Lulz alpp just issues a direct offering at 2.80. Effin wankers

hype, hype, hype then dilute

so glad I sold into the uplisting flurry, and an holding only a relatively small number of shares (that get worth less seemingly each week)

Amy is dead man walking. They’ve been too slow getting their process to market.

The Japanese company will have the exact same technology in full production mode in ‘23. Amy may have their demonstration facility up by then. It doesn’t matter if Amy’s process is better, first to market matters a lot more.

maybe ALPP can issue stock and buy AMY, and I can double up a bad position

GVSI got delayed but Goff comes off the expert market on Monday. It's up 21% so far today. Need OTC to get hot again.

I’m sitting on the sidelines for now. Seems like all the money is in crypto and betting on shitcoins, plus staking.

I just dumped my remaining AMY and bought some more UUUU options.

Its not just that Japanese company, you have plenty of startups in the field. Take LICY that went public in a SPAC play earlier this year. They plan to have a processing plant capable of 60K tons in early 2023 and already supposedly have deals signed for scrap material. The SPAC transaction gives them $500+ million in cash and no debt to get production ramped up.

I have a feeling AMY will still be fucking around with a pilot plant and looking for partners for the next 3 years. There just doesnt seem to be a sense of urgency with them. As long as they can keep funding their research they seem to be content rolling along with neglible revenue. I havent bailed yet (barely above water at 5% profit off of January purchase), but the more I read about other companies in the sector, I get the feeling I need a better vehicle for investment than AMY.

I wanted to give you all a heads up, as it's a sure indicator things there's are moving up:

- ALPP, I'm selling my remaining shares. Seems to be all hat, no cattle; I didn't but into it for the construction contracts.

 - AMY, selling at least half my shares which are held in a taxable account. Taking my losses for tax purposes, allowing me a "free" rebalance to sell off some gainers & will look at getting back in early 2022.

I'm sure you can make good money going the other way on these trades

Holy shit AMY had a rough couple of weeks.  Alpp not much better.  I am really not digging this sideways shit.

If by 'sideways' you mean 'to the side and angled downward,' then yes, I'm with you.

I know there was a another thread but I just wanted y'all to know GME reported short% is 113%

Do with as you wish...

I'm thinking about adding more UUUU calls - I currently have some 4/22 and 1/23 $10 calls, they seem like a decent risk/reward. That is until it sticks in a 8.50 - 9.75 range

IBRX - $1.23 to to $6.56 on just over twice the normal volume.  If there's any consolation to be taken, the volume wasn't a third of what it was yesterday with the spike upwards.  Nonetheless, this bullshit is getting o-l-d.  Waiting for news.  W-a-i-t-i-n-g.

If Amy would do something other than shit the bed today that would be nice.

today is just another day with a >1% swing in the market, just like most every day. 

Yesterday was slightly unusual, as it was up over 1%, and then closed down over 1% for the day - so it was +/- 1% twice yesterday

Yea, AMY has been a good example on how to make 50% of an investment disappear...

On the bright side the LUV calls I bought yesterday are more than offsetting my AMY losses at the moment. 

The amount of names at 52 week lows is startling.  THis market is fucking regarded.

Goodbye AMY. Thanks for reducing the ol tax bill, I guess. 

Just jumped into COPRF. Name of the company is Medivolve. I’m terrible at conveying DD. They look good and it’s a pure stonk / Penny play.

American Manganese Files National Phase Patent Applications for the RecycLiCo Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Process

Applications Filed into National Phase for Europe, South Korea, Canada, India, Australia, Japan, and China to Strengthen Patent Portfolio

 

December 3, 2021 - Surrey, B.C. Canada

TSX-V: AMY | OTCQB: AMYZF | FSE: 2AM



American Manganese Inc. ("AMY" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of National Phase Patent Applications (NPPA) to further strengthen the Company's patent portfolio. The Company's original PCT Application No. PCT/US/2020/021888 was filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization and is now filed into the national phase for Europe, South Korea, Canada, India, Australia, Japan, and China.

The patent within the NPPA is the second invention contained in the Company's RecycLiCo battery recycling process. The patent encompasses novel process functions that further enhance the RecycLiCo process and expand the processing capability for various waste battery input materials.



These process functions and their benefits to the battery industry include:

  • The recovery of graphite and treatment of black mass material originating from the mechanical size reduction of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.

Bloomberg is projecting 56 million passenger electric vehicles sales worldwide in 2040, and the need to recycle the trailing volume of end-of-life batteries will be a certainty. Therefore, black mass is expected to be the most common input material for hydrometallurgical processing, and significant demand for advanced and efficient processing of black mass material will be required. The RecycLiCo process presents a significant opportunity to reintroduce these critical battery materials back into the supply chain.

  • The treatment of fluoride originating from the lithium-ion battery electrolyte. 

The electrolyte is a highly toxic and hazardous lithium-ion battery material found in some black mass materials. If not treated, it could lead to complications in downstream recycling functions and environmental damage. 

  • The separation of aluminum from cathode active material in battery manufacturing scrap. 

Lithium-ion battery manufacturing includes coating cathode active material containing lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt to an aluminum foil to form the cathode electrode. This manufacturing process can result in off-spec cathodes that are scrapped as waste, which the RecycLiCo process can treat to produce high-quality cathode materials for battery re-manufacturing. 

"I'm proud of the excellent patent portfolio that we have built for efficient lithium-ion battery recycling and, in addition, a significant underlying value of American Manganese," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese. "This patent was first issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 5, 2019, which was only 81 days from the initial filing date. From our internal review of all issued patents by the US Patent Office, we indicated that our patent was the fastest issued patent under the Chemistry of Inorganic Compounds classification."

A summary and reference to each national phase patent application are summarized below:

I continue to check stock quotes as obsessively as always, but I refuse to look at my account because I'm not that much of a masochist.  Am still keeping the faith with IBRX, UUUU, & AMYZF.

Am I missing something here? It doesn't make me get overly excited - unless something is different in Canada - as filing for a patent is totally different than having been granted a patent...

Unless this means that since the patent was approved in the US already and just being registered/filed in those other countries just to get the existing patent recognized there.   

(I had my name on a patent application a few years ago but it was eventually rejected by the US Patent office 5-7 years later...)

It shows that they made international filings in the countries indicated.  You are correct that the filing of patents outside the US is no more significant than the filing of patents in the US:  it means nothing until it's granted.  Some of those countries, notably Canada, will "rubber stamp" the US grant and issue a Canadian patent forthwith.  Most of the rest won't, especially Europe and Japan.

Also, kind of amusing that they are barking about the speed of grant of the US Patent.  That only increases the likelihood that the patent is invalid.  Of particular note is their filing at the European Patent Office.  The EPO is generally regarded as conducting more thorough and "accurate" searches than the USPTO.  There's a decent probability that the search result from the EPO could cast doubt on the validity of the US patent.

And, of course, just because a patent is granted in the US or anywhere else doesn't mean the patent covers anything commercially valuable.  Eleven million US patents have been granted in the last 150 years (and more before that).  Maybe 100,000 of them covered anything valuable enough to be imitated and sued over.

Wall Street, and even Silicon Valley, have been dolts about patents for decades, for the most part.  Some specialized ibankers have become pretty savvy about them in the last 10-20 years.
