Good ol capitalism

For those who thought I was a left winger, I must say I enjoy some good ol capitalism every once in a while. For instance, I have to pat myself in the back about the fact that I was instrumental in helping a Nanotechnology company make $31M in stock value increase recently.

It hapened right after they made this press release, where I am the author of the two papers cited:

http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release_html_b1?release_id=63877

The next day, their stock did that:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=ALTI&t=3m

And now, I get $1,200 a day when I do consulting work for them...4 days should provide plenty enough for my 3.0L rebuilt, MUAHHHAHHAHHA !

Just wait until that extra dough bumps you up a tax bracket... then you'll become a conservative for sure

Thanks ya`ll. Actually, those guys are pros at creating rumors out of thin air, the thin air being my research. They know how to play the game, that is for sure. I think there is a nanotechnology bubble, just like there was an IT bubble. And this time, I am in a prime spot to benefit from it. In 2000, I was just discovering capitalism, coming from my beloved pinko cheese eating socialist homeland

Congratulations Aurel. If you ever feel like spreading around some of that left leaning and honestly made money feel free to donate to my race car fund.

Actually, my wife already has plans on how to spend the money, and she does not quite understand why I would want to fix an old german car that is too stiff and too hot in the summer, with a clutch pedal that she cannot even depress, and a stick shifter...while there is so much to do on the house. This is not won yet...

Beleive me, if I had known myself what they were up to, I would have put $10k on their stock, and I would be posting on Ferrarichat by now
