Nanotech Excitement Boosts Wrong Stock

Nanotech Excitement Boosts Wrong Stock 12/04/2003 12:01 PM

Back during the bubble years, companies were seeing their stock prices shoot up if they simply added an "e-" prefix to their name and/or a ".com" to the end. Call it "prefix investing." There were also more than a few stories of companies having their stock prices driven up after a similarly named company had some good news happen. This is a sign that there are a lot of greedy, but unsophisticated investors dumping lots and lots of dough into the market. It appears to be happening again. These days, it appears that the "hot" thing is nanotechnology (though, certain honest employees at many "nanotech" startups will admit that the "nano" part is a lot more marketing than reality). As such, everyone wants to have a "nano" prefix in their name. They won't get the NANO stock ticker symbol, though, as that's already held by a company named Nanometrics, who doesn't even do anything in the nanotechnology field, and has been around for 35 years. That hasn't stopped investors from piling on, though. Yesterday their stock got a huge boost, despite the fact that they didn't do anything special. There was this other company, Nanogen, that received a "nanotechnology patent" that excited investors - and it appears some of those investors were so "excited" that they didn't bother to check to make sure they were investing in the right company.

What Can Nanotech Do for You?


What Can Nanotech Do for You? 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
While tiny technology, such as minuscule robots that take inventory or scan the bloodstream for signs of disease, never fails to amaze, it also tends to generate skepticism over the extent of its practical applications. But experts say that nanotechnology is already benefiting a range of industries and is poised to deliver significant advances.

Nanotech and Kabbalah


Nanotech and Kabbalah 09/02/2004 08:11 AM
David Pescovitz: At the NanoBot, Howard Lovy writes about the philosophical connection between nanotechnology and the Jewish mysticism of Kabbalah. This is not newage (rhymes with "sewage") mumbo-jumbo, but rather an informed, passionate, and moving thought-exercise about the "spirit" of science:
"...the most brilliant men of Medieval Jewry, shut out of any other profession in which their intellect could be used, spent what I used to think was a complete waste of mind power, reflecting on the minutia of Jewish law – taking the Torah and extrapolating a complex system of laws. Creating, codifying, obsessively ordering and numbering a spiritual system into a logical system.

But the smaller you get, the more you see the logic and order break down. The laws of physics seem to change. The smaller the size, the deeper the mystery and the more the orderly turns chaotic. It all meets on the nanoscale and below, where spirit/spirituality meets the individual components of organisms, where sand meets wave, where analog meets digital, where spirit meets matter."

Nanotech Undies 06/24/2005 04:02 PM

underpants.gifI'm going to give you two possible methods for keeping your panties fresh and odor free. Please choose one:

1. Purchase Green-Shield Underwear, which uses nanotechnology to create a negative ionic field near your junk to repel bacteria while increasing circulation and leaching toxins from the body. This underwear also absorbs "far-infrared rays" and cause your cells to vibrate a higher frequency which speeds up metabolism and helps you eliminate wastes.

2. Wash your stinky underpants.

I'm going to let you all mull that one over and get back to me, but I'm going for #1. The more untested, chemically treated fabric I can press against my Bobs-Yer-Uncle the better.
