That's graphite. Graphene is related somehow, yet totally different at the same time. Perhaps @[Michael Molman](user:50272) can better explain.

I had tried, and just tried again for you but failed. It really was jaw dropping. Wish I could find it again. Hard to believe what graphene can produce unless you can see it with your own eyes.

I saw a video about #graphene last year that blew me away. Wish I could find it now. The benefits to the tech industry are literally mind boggling. But I admit, after hearing nothing about it since then, I had completely forgotten about it until now. Glad to hear graphene is not a pipedream after all. And some good investment ideas here too. I may have to get in on this - you've rekindled my interest!

You simply a complex topic well.

Interesting. Why don't you apply to be a contributor here so more people see your work? Saw this article which might interest you?

Unfortunately, this is pretty common with big companies. Remember Palm Pilot? Ever hear how they stole the sylus pen (the thingee that could change from a stylus to a pen) from an inventor who pitched the idea to them. It was a simple but brilliant idea so they just declined the offer and went on to make it on their own, even though the inventor had a patent. But Palm Pilot had a huge legal team while the inventor was just one guy. Fighting it would have bankrupted him.

Thanks for this important update on $TSLA.

Nice stock picks. I've been a fan of $CAT for a while.

Thanks Walt, I always enjoy your articles!

Good read, thanks. But I'm curious to know if @[Mish Shedlock](user:5141) has a rebuttal for your respectful criticisms of his work.
