I hadn't heard of this company before. This is from
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/010709/0413.html:
"NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. of Denver, Colorado, USA, is traded on the
Nasdaq stock market (OTCBB:NPCT - news) as well as on the Frankfurt and
Hamburg (OTC:NPI - news). In addition to the 12 patents it owns, NanoPierce
has numerous applications pending, others in preparation, and various other
intellectual properties related to NanoPierce's proprietary NCS (NanoPierce
Connection System). This advanced system is designed to provide significant
improvement over conventional electrical and mechanical interconnection
methods for high-density circuit boards, components, sockets, connectors,
semiconductor packaging and electronic systems. "
Caution #1: This is a bulletin board stock. Investing in these is
especially risky. Caution #2: Insiders have lately been selling plenty,
even though the stock is priced in cents not dollars. Caution #3: Going
only by the above description, they are not doing anything remotely unique.
It isn't clear to me that this is anything to do with nanotechnology.
Cheers,
Max
