I agree with much of your views/opinions here on these LPD threads.

You one of only a few people here with a level head & I appreciate your views & commentary here on these threads. You're an asset to LPD forum that's for sure!!

But I don't share your risk aversion for holding LPD from the ground floor to long term 10 years+

Too many risks.
Too many unknowns.
Too many hurdles.
Too much capital needed from both shareholders & customers/LPD alike to fund this venture.

It depends on the type of investor you are.

Ok if you bought in under 1 cent & before all of the unknowns have been worked out it may prove rewarding capital gains wise (a rise from 1.5 cents to 4.5 cents according to the Edison Report of a $416 million valuation) If you paid 4.5 cents+ you may have to pour more capital in to fund any future CR's & you might struggle to get your money back for many, many years. (I've posted that claim with links to websites to back it up on the LPD forum before.)

If I wanted to speculate I would through a few thousand in now just for the sake of it, but that's no different than heading down to the casino & putting a few thousand down on red. Why would I do that?

I might consider entering, with a significant investment, when I know my hard earned capital is relatively safe, if I have to pay a premium than so be it.

As @rokkett has alluded to here before, a P2 is where the money is.

There's an old Wall Street adage,

"Hey, we're losing money on this product but don't worry about it, we'll make it up on volume."

Does that work? Think about it.

If your losing $1 on every single product you sell, how is selling more of that product going to make you any money??

So......

Does a P1 plant work??

How does planning on building multiple P1 plants around the world, or a P2, going to solve LPD's problems or grow the business??

A P1 plant has to work, generate a revenue & produce a profit before any plans are made to expand the current business model. There's too many unknowns at this present time to invest any significant amount of capital into this venture for me.
