re: Spec Play - HGRAF

I am not an OT baller or a MT trader. I have a decent job and I have a 401(k) at work that is invested like those go. I also recently set up a Roth. I also recently started a Fidelity account to hold my emergency fund in cash and a handful of ETFs. First a little and thence to more, I started porting the fidelity account and the little bit I have in the Roth to HGRAF. While I am extremely happy to be up 140% after just a couple of months, I now have to focus on getting my emergency fund back up. However the more I research and the more hype I hear, I want to do it without touching my HGAF stock. I would hate for a car repair, new A/c, or new roof to detract from this issue. Having taken the leap here, I need to get conservative elsewhere to build a moat and castle wall around my HGRAF castle.

I’m in the same boat brother. Had to drop $4500 on a new air handler back in December. Right after my daughter’s bday and right before Christmas. Ouch! 95% of my liquidity is tied up in HGRAF and NBIS at this point. I hate being cash poor but I can’t bring myself to sell either of those stocks now. I know I can if I need some emergency funds but I’m just trying to build my cash reserves back up in the meantime.

They have an EPA license to manufacture this so what is the pump or dump? They have a variety of things in motion that have debunked that stance.

Not saying its a pump and dump. Asking what the level of concern for that is without reading 500 pages. I think my concern however small it may be.. is that the same hopefullness was there with SLi.. they got approval and had a great plan and we were gonna be millionaires and then …. It went a different direction.
I 100% want this to be different and believe it has that potential..just asking you guys who would know. Im in healthcare not graphene so i dont know as much about graphene as many on this board
1750 shares

Thanks bb88

Asking what the level of concern

---

I am concerned. Not about whether it is a fake product, because I think graphene is real, and they did get EPA approval.

What I am concerned about is whether there is a demand for the 1000s of tons that will be needed for this stock to go up to $100/share, let alone $1000.

Also, Kevin Bambrough has told us that HGRAF graphene is special because it's so pure that it does things that other graphenes can't do. What if that isn't the case, or what if the "purest" graphene is only needed for special niche applications, and the applications that need tons of this stuff can be serviced with the cheap stuff?

In addition, what if someone else figures out how to make the graphene as cheap, or cheaper than HGRAF?

Finally, can this executive team execute the plan to build the company and get the customers on board? This is an inexperienced team, and I would hope that they can bring in experienced minds at each step of the growth ladder, but it's possible that they could screw it up.

Not all of my concerns are because of a "pump and dump", but if they KNOW that they don't have enough potential customers or that their graphene isn't far and away the best on the market, then they are misleading us and that could be considered pump and dump - especially if wake up one day and KB and others have sold their stock.

Kjirstin Breure said that she expects NASDAQ listing to be completed in May. That is actually good news as far as I'm concerned, because that gives them plenty of time to sign a gas deal, start building Hyperions, and announce contracts. The big thing I'm looking at is, "How many Hyperions are they building?". If we hit May and they are still building a handful of Hyperions and don't have any contracts signed, then I'm more concerned. If they are building them as fast as they can and have increased the number planned (remember, it's 35 by the end of 2026), then I'm comfortable. It's going to take at least 1,000 Hyperions to producte 10,000 tons, so they need to be producing a lot of units as quickly as possible.

If the product is THAT good, there should be plenty of companies wanting to get their names on the contracts early to ensure adequate supply for their endeavors...

At this point… what are yalls feelings on the chances this is a pump and dump? Maybe not even pump and dump but similar to what we did with Standard Lithium (up to $12 and back down to $1.50 for years. I’m shocked at the $6.40 share price but happy about it too. Is dillution the biggest concern

---

Always a risk, that's why I think I'm going to stick with my 3k shares at $2.10 and resist the urge to buy more.

I'm 32 and not an OT baller, so I'd have to go in pretty deep to make real, life-changing money and it isn't worth that risk to me right now. I live fairly comfortably and am on track for a decent retirement. If I make $2-300k on this (if it hits big time), that could really speed up my timeline with compound interest over time.

Let me get this straight. You at one point a few years ago had like $600k in frick around money in Gamecoin. But you also have Edward Jones who puts you in 6 figures of bonds and won’t let you buy OTC stocks?

Pretty much.

I just checked and it’s a mix of cash, bonds and mutual funds. Didn’t realize there were mutual funds because I don’t really mess with that account and it was all under income.

Borophene

borophene is much less explored than graphene, but it’s arguably more promising in certain ways (lighter, more flexible, metallic conductivity, and unique anisotropic properties). Because it’s newer, there’s still a lot of room for inventive, realistic but novel synthesis ideas.
Here’s a set of realistic, lab-feasible but still underexplored routes to create or scale borophene (2D boron sheets).



Boron can be added to graphene as well.

Chat jippity says:

What Happens When Boron Is Added?

Graphene is made of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Carbon has 4 valence electrons.
Boron has 3 valence electrons.

When boron replaces a carbon atom in the lattice, it creates an electron deficiency. This makes the graphene:
• p-type conductive
• Electron deficient
• More chemically reactive in some cases

This can significantly change its electrical and catalytic properties for better/worse depending non the application.


It’s why I am penny stocked with certain miners like Boron One.



The future is gon got be crazy. You see others like silicon or chromium being added and the properties could be game changers.

Hgraf. I’m trying g tn get lucky with Pennie’s like I did with Hgraf.

when you figure out which one is the winner, let us know.
