Alpha En corporation (EM) (ALPE)

Closed over $3. Nice! They recently announced a $750k research grant, plus working with their Princeton U. researcher and Mercedes Benz on the battery technology. Pretty large market cap and not much money in the bank, but battery technology is the future...and if they have some important IP, then who knows?? I don't own much but I'm willing to see how it plays out.

ALPE has moved from the Pinks onto the OTC (fully reporting to the SEC). The stock price has gone from $1 to $1.70 over the last month or two. I wonder if Alpha En will play a role in the future of lithium batteries? Hope so!

New presentation. I'm expecting some sort of offering soon to fund the next phase of growing staff and testing samples at the new factory. Interesting to note that management has already had discussions with major batteries and auto manufacturers, so it will be interesting to see what develops on that front over the course of 2017.

ALPE getting their SEC filings and Board of Directors assembled. I'm guessing the plan is to uplist at some point, but not sure which route they take. New board member seems well connected and experienced, as well as an early investor in the company, so he has "skin in the game." While the technology seems to work as intended, and the opportunity seems great, ALPE still needs to finance their factory and payroll. It will be interesting to see how it plays out but its reassuring to know the CEO (Steve Fludder) came from a high profile background to take advantage of this start-up opportunity at Alpha En (taking mostly stock as compensation). I dont have a large position in the stock but think its worth gamble at these prices. I would love to see some partnerships develop here (anyone have Elon Musk's number?).
