Here are a few thoughts on investing in graphene. I liked your take on penny stocks, that they are highly manipulated by big players trying to flush out people's stop loss orders, and so on.
I wasn't able to find stock exchange symbols for all of the companies below, and most are not available in US markets. These 3 APGMF & HDGFH & FGPHF are available but dinner if them have a foreign transaction fee involved.
Investing in graphene
Graphene is a single-atom-layer carbon material with unique properties - 200 times stronger than steel, with flexibility, good conductivity and transparency.
A brief overview:
This page and this one describe the many types of applications for graphene in automobiles - for structural stiff lightweight material, batteries (supercapacitors), paint coatings, etc.
Buyer beware - lots of scam companies claiming to be working on graphene.
"...the UK Financial Conduct Authority warned investors to beware of scams involving graphene... "If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is."
The first 4 are "pure-play" graphene companies, I think.
This page lists the following companies working on graphene technology:
1.) Real Graphene: graphene-enhanced battery cells. ...[I bought one of their portable smartphone chargers and it charges very rapidly.]
2.) Versarien.(AIM:VRS)...proprietary materials technology
3.) Applied Graphene Materials. (APGMF) (AIM:AGM)..."proprietary "bottom up" process for the production of high specification graphene... owns the intellectual property and know-how behind the graphene production process"
4.) G6 Materials Corp.(TSX:GGG)...with a focus on the market of industrial composites - thermoplastics, thermosets such as epoxies, and inks
5.) Archer Materials.(ASX:AXE) ...advanced materials company that offers a range of graphene products, including graphene powder, nanocomposites, and oxide.
6.) Directa Plus. ...claims to have developed patented graphene material that is portable and scalable
7.) Comet Resources. (ASX:COI) ...produces graphene using a process of electronic exfoliation from graphite
8.) First Graphene (FGPHF) ...one of the lowest-cost global graphene suppliers in the world... claims to have developed an environmentally sound method of converting graphite with the lowest cost into high-quality graphene on a scale
9.) Nanotech industries: graphene batteries, as well as our production of conductive epoxies, conductive inks and electromagnetic interference shielding
10) Haydale graphene Industries: (HDGHF) ...patented proprietary scalable plasma process that's aimed at functionalizing graphene and other nanomaterials
