From issue 6 of Technology Focus:
The field of nanotechnology is emerging as a major driver of technological change. It will make an increasingly important contribution to world economic growth over the next 25 years. A measure of its perceived importance can be gained by the commitments to nanoscale research in the US, Japan and, more recently, the UK.
I think this is a really great opportunity, and barring some external event, it could be a very financially lucrative to hold stocks in such companies. Also you would be directly supporting the very technologies that we want to see materialise for our future.
Anyway, so I did research on one company called pSivida Limited which is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
This is it's description:
pSivida Limited (PSD) (formerly the Sumich Group Limited) is primarily research and develop and commercialise Biosilicon, (nano-structured porous silicon). The 2 main product development areas are in drug delivery and orthopaedics.
I checked the chart (sorry I can't link it) and it's share price has tripled since August last year so it seems to be a strong growth company.
It may be a good time to look around at other nanotechnology stocks around the world if this is going to be the next big industrial revolution as it has so been predicted.. [sfty]
