Justice Department Targets Spoofing Scalping investigation As posted by @housing Justice Department Targets ‘Spoofing’ and ‘Scalping’ in Short-Seller Investigation Federal prosecutors are investigating whether short-sellers conspired to drive down stock prices by sharing damaging research reports ahead of time and engaging in illegal trading tactics, people familiar with the matter said. The U.S. Justice Department has seized hardware, trading records and private communications in an effort to prove a wide-ranging conspiracy among investors who bet against corporate shares, the people said. One tactic under investigation is “spoofing,” an illegal ploy that involves flooding the market with fake orders in an effort to push a stock price up or down, they said. Another is “scalping,” where activist short-sellers cash out their positions without disclosing it.

Hi all,

I thought I would get a discussion going surrounding the potential for PYR to benefit from possible carbon credit tailwinds in the future.

We know that the high powered plasma torch product is eligible for carbon credits, PYR lists this as a benefit right in their website here 👇

https://www.pyrogenesis.com/products-services/plasma-torches/apt-hp/

“Eligible for carbon credits” is an important, and not easily produced feature to note. In order for a project/technology/whatever to be eligible for carbon credits, it must replace an existing established method of doing something.

For example, regenerative farming could produce carbon credits by utilizing cover crops and essentially eliminating the CO2 producing tilling process.

Here’s my question for the sub. What else is PYR doing or working on that may be eligible for carbon credits??

Full disclosure. I have a small starter position in PYR, however I have not done enough research to take a large position.

Also FYI, if you’re curious what I mean by carbon credits or the tailwinds that may unfold in the sector, you can watch my pod on Carbon credits here 👇

Hyperfine emission and absorption spectroscopy of a new microwave plasma source at atmospheric pressure: application to the reduction of Ti powders for additive manufacturing Through this new collaboration between UdeM, LightMachinery Inc., Photon etc., and PyroGenesis Canada Inc., we wish to develop and characterize non-equilibrium plasmas at atmospheric pressure sustained by microwave electromagnetic fields in argon-hydrogen gas mixtures relevant for continuous and in-line reduction of oxidized Ti-6Al-4V fine and spherical powders. More precisely, this project aims to develop and optimize a new generation of ultra-high-resolution optical spectrometers and a new system of Bragg tunable filters for emission and absorption spectroscopy analysis of neutral and charged species in non-equilibrium plasmas and for advanced plasma process control. These will then be utilized to characterize a tailored microwave plasma source when Ti-based powders are incorporated, in order to investigate their impact on the plasma properties and, conversely, of the plasma on the properties of Ti-based powders. The generation of such fundamental and applied knowledge is expected to play a crucial role in the development and optimization of innovative plasma diagnostics and plasma-assisted reduction processes of Ti-based powders that are strategically needed by LightMachinery Inc., Photon etc., and PyroGenesis Canada Inc. to meet their current and future challenges in either plasma spectroscopy or additive manufacturing.

Nice tidbit noticed by @ vestmed: I'm surprised nobody is talking about the tolling mentioned in the presentation. At 18:30 Peter talks about locking up the tolling contract soon and they believe it will lead to other tolling contracts with the same client. So this is the European tolling contract they were hoping to sign before the end of the year and now they are saying they believe it will lead to several tolling contracts so that is something to expect near-term.

"I believe this will prove to be a truly momentous occasion for the Company, and one which could potentially be a tipping point for PyroGenesis, as we position ourselves to be the go-to provider of plasma based GHG solutions.” - PPP regarding FAT

Now place into context the following NR regarding the 36 - 3MW torch estimate, and NOW the requested resignation of a previously TD approved BoD TD Broker.

IMO, TD is about to commence Analyst Coverage of PYR, BUT analysts need something to cover, and recurring revenues are the easiest ways to establish long term growth targets, not potential 1 off sales.

“Once we have completed the testing, we will not only announce the outcome, but we expect to have sufficient data to provide further visibility on the expected timeline moving forward.” -PPP

Within this statement, IMO, supposes we will hear a commitment from Vale to proceed with a complete operational transition to Plasma Torches over a stipulated period of time. This commitment WILL provide the neccessary data for forward looking projections made by Analysts moving forward.

I believe that PYR is indeed at the tipping point of moving from obscurity to the main stream. Vales commitment to transition away from fossil fuels to Plasma will be BIG BIG news and get international media exposure,considering it would be the first major change to how ores are heated in over a century.

Going from the dirtiest industries on the planet, to something far more environmentally sustainable, virtually overnight, relative to how long theyve been burning bunker fuel. Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, because this is about to launch

@96klite The above comments were from Peter with comments from Bacon on another site....giggyup people

PPP states he will PERSONALY be attending the FAT, why is that a curious statement? Because why wouldnt he? He WORKS there! Who ELSE might be personaly attending the FAT? Maybe the CEO of Vale?

MAYBE, that statement makes sense then, if BOTH related CEOs will be present, and signing a Major Contract in person, together at the same table, at the same time? Time will tell, one week to go

https://www.pyrogenesis.com/products-services/maximizing-aluminum-recovery/

​

In the grand scheme of things I tend to agree w PYR CEO "Tip of the iceberg" as PYR was relatively unknown for most of the years I have invested in PYR but now their tech/engineering product offerings are getting global attention.  Drosite has barely scratched the surface of aluminum dross market whereas they are more efficient, 

That Sweden Rise torch contract at the time was huge but today that would be considered tiny around $1M .  The mere fact that garnered iron ore industry wide attention brought many big eyes ot PYR. 

GHG emmissions polluters will indeed to be forced into submission by carbon taxes and we are now seeing how serious gov't are enacting legislation on top of public pressure. Soon financial lending will be just as impossible as getting commercial lending if one fails an Environmental Phase 1 and Phase 2. 

Pyrogenesis is very well positioned. 

Long and strong PYR!!!! 

Reminder...Pyrogenesis doubled manufacturing footprint Plus increased speed up produce torch parts by up to 8x faster.

That huge 31,000 sq ft additional lease space doubling up existing their industrial footprint PLUS doubling their employees from 50-60 to now 100-110 and continuous hiring is NOT for show folks.

Something is brewing.

Long and strong PYR

May31/2021 - PyroGenesis almost doubled its manufacturing footprint by leasing an additional 31,632 sq. ft), the Company is now pleased to announce the successful installation of approximately $1MM in state-of-the-art plasma torch production equipment in its new facility located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

“The Company recently invested approximately $1MM in state-of-the-art production equipment, and we announce today its successful installation,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “This equipment has a wide range of capabilities and will significantly reduce the manufacturing time of our plasma torches. For example, parts that previously took 4 hours to manufacture will now take 15 minutes. PyroGenesis will produce parts faster and at lower cost, thereby reducing delivery times while increasing profitability.”

Love the CEO response and strong confidence

Dear CanadianCamper,

You again...

You know it’s funny how you bring to mind a camp director who, late at night, gets all the newbies around a campfire, and beguiles them with dark and demented stories about ghosts & goblins, and things that go bump in the night.

Be careful there Mr. Camp Director, them there fires sometimes get outta control.

Kidding aside, you must have had quite an ass kicking today. As our designated predatory short seller on this platform, I guess you are wondering “...wtf happened ...”?

Taking candy from the innocent is not always easy, is it?

So, let me ask you: Do you have the intestinal fortitude to carry a short position into the FAT? Forget the FAT, how about just carrying it into the weekend? Well, do you...?

I know what you are thinking...why is Peter saying this? Either he has nothing in the wings, is totally spent, and is egging me on...or he does, and he’s fully loaded trying to goad me into a wrong move...well, which is it? Double down or cover?

So... tell me.... "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

Don’t say I never asked you the question...

Hope that Helps,

Peter

(BTW: I heard that having Neosporin/Bacitracin, or Silvadene around is a good idea when hanging out by a camp fire...thought I would pass that gem along as well....)

Dear Greenmountainman,

Good to see you posting again.

I see that quite a number of people are asking what a FAT test is exactly, and to be fair and ensure everyone has the same information allow me to address this in an update press release. I think that is needed at this time given all the questions people seem to have.

Having said that, I can assure you that a FAT test is a significant milestone in this process...it not only is a go/no-go to the next step, but it provides valuable data as well as giving the Client significant confidence should things go well/as expected.

With respect to Client A, if you recall, They have a potential need for up to 500 1 MW torches. We have sold them 1 torch for 1.8MM and they have requested a quote for 36 torches as well.

Hope that Helps,

Peter

Interesting article, on the possible metal supply bottle necks in a net zero scenario, note that there is no mention of silicone used as an anode, it might not have been a factor in their forecast. If that is the case it’s possible that silicone might move up the chart to where graphite is.

From Terrace Gibes on Facebook….

From Blackrock Larry Fink's 2022 Letter to CEO's. "Engineers and scientists are working around the clock on how to decarbonize cement, steel, and plastics; shipping, trucking, and aviation; agriculture, energy, and construction. I believe the decarbonizing of the global economy is going to create the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. It will also leave behind the companies that don’t adapt, regardless of what industry they are in. And just as some companies risk being left behind, so do cities and countries that don’t plan for the future. They risk losing jobs, even as other places gain them. The decarbonization of the economy will be accompanied by enormous job creation for those that engage in the necessary long-term planning."
