show me the money, page-23

K,
All frivolity aside, you have a good point!
I am a long term holder of ECT. I bought on the strength of the technology and what it could do. I researched its applicability and came to the conclusion that it had merit. This was 3 years ago.. I still believe in the technology and what it can do for Vic. and for other parts of the world. I also believe there is room for more than one technology to succeed.. From my understanding this company ECT, will make it's money mainly from Royalties. ie if Oz and other countries use the Coldry & Matmor IP then ECT will charge a royalty on the amount of Brown Coal that is turned into the Black Pellets that is equiv. to Black coal. Not sure that ECT is interested in actually building major plants etc.. they just want others to do this and be paid a royalty for these companies using their IP.... A bit like a recording artist. they create a song then every time it's played.. they're supposed to get money for it.. pretty basic..Hopefully ECT will make their Millions from this process, once they pass the DFT stages. Hence the $4m required to pass the DFT process and most importantly, from my point of view, is to build the Matmor Pilot plant..as ECT keep highlighting in there Updates!
Once DFT is approved, then in reality others will put up the money to build the Plants to actually produce the Black Pellets! Hence ECT will sit back and be paid Royalties. Basic stuff... At least that's my take on all this.!

Now about your issue with Monash.. and the $300m in assets and all that..I'm not too sure how it all fits together either.. My understanding is that Monash is a recent brainchild of Mr Neil Youren (who I believe has had his credentials posted on this forum several times. He is the Financial director of AH Solutions, and as far as I know he still is.. but according to the AHS Capability Statement, it states:
"Neil recently established the Monash Capital Group. This new financing venture will provide new forms of finance for social housing as well as specialist housing loan products for first home buyers amongst its products."
Well, you may well ask, what has this to do with converting Brown coal to Black coal! Well the way I see it he has researched the technology, seen that the Vic Govt is now serious about Brown Coal as a revenue earner and he wants in... so he has been convinced, that ECT's Coldry and Matmor technology may have a real future, so he is willing to back it. Something totally left field for Monash, but worth a punt..
As for the $300m in assets, I believe this is linked back to AH Solutions! Not saying it's so... just my opinion.. but in reality I don't give a rats about the $300m that some one has spruked.. All I know is that ECT own the IP in Coldry and Matmor and are going about things in the right way now to bring about it's COMMERCIALISATION.. So as for the $300m you want explained as to why there isn't a "Monash Global Finance" website that markets it... maybe it's all about AH Solutions and their possible $300m in assets?
Anyhow K, that's my attempt at trying to answer your valid question.
As for ECT, I repeat, My research tells me the technology is worth a punt so I'm in it for the LT, being 3-5 yrs from now and am looking at a .30c - 40c Share price at the end of it. Even if it does consolidate, I still believe it will move forward because of the strength in the technology.

Anyhow enough rambling... Your constant questioning of the Monash $300M assets did strike a chord with me and made me question my position and I still feel good about the investment.. but there is always that niggle!!

Good luck to all who sail in her! it will be a long voyage.
