695.0. "Valence Technology" by MARVA2::BUCHMAN (UNIX refugee in a VMS world) Wed Mar 09 1994 12:45

    A friend of mine told me about a company which has been researching new
    battery technology for a while, and who want to become commercial. The
    company is Valence Technology (Nasdaq ValTch), and they make batteries.
    The batteries are made using a material which is non-toxic and can be
    molded into nearly any shape. It can also be recharged up to 300 times
    with little degradation. It has traded in the 11 - 23 range for the
    past year, and is now at 16.5. Does anyone  know more about it?
    
    My friend doesn't know what the downside of these batteries are. They
    sound great. Maybe they are extremely expensive???

695.1	Try the Cabot Market Letter	DABEAN::NEARY		`Wed Mar 09 1994 16:41`	5
	If you live in Mass , check out the Cabot Market Letter. They used to have it at the Andover Library. That letter had it in his model portfolio for a few years. If you look at back issues, in one month it was his stock of the month with a full page write-up.
695.2	10-k	CSOA1::ECK		`Thu Mar 10 1994 11:34`	5
	I encourage you to call VLNC's investor relations dept and ask for a new investor kit. I got the 10-k, annual report etc. There is lots of potential and lots of risk. The 10-k describes competition (lots), the likelyhood of future losses (lots), and the lack of manufacturing capabilities. Beware and be informed.
695.3	Barrons 3/14/94	CSOA1::ECK		`Tue Mar 15 1994 08:14`	5
	This weeks issue of Barron's (3/14) contains a feature story on the next generation of batteries. Valance Technologies is reviewed, along with Everyready, Duracell and many others. The varieties of battery technology are explained, along with the needs of the emerging portable market. Net on Valance.......potential....lots of risk.
695.4	Care for a dip?	MARVA2::BUCHMAN	UNIX refugee in a VMS world	`Fri May 06 1994 18:38`	4
	Lots of risk indeed! This one took a big drop to under 6! Has recently rebounded to 7.5. It dropped four points in one day early this week. Does anyone know why? Jim "new daddy" Buchman
