Jungle out there for Nano!

This book is a good summary of 100+ companies in the nanotechnology business. It was published in 2006. Already many firms disappeared. Even with the Merrill Lynch nanotech index on p. 264, there is no sure way to make money. Nano is similar to biotech early stages. Companies spent millions of research dollars on nano, yet at the end, the return on investment is unknown. This is a big challenge for entrepreneurs. Many more research and books will be written in this field. Stay tuned...

The book is a beginning in Nano knowledge

If you want to get involved into the knowledge of nanotechnology, this is a good beginning. Mr. Uldrich will explain you what is nanotechnology, what are the current applications of the R&D in this industry and which are the companies globally working on it.
He presents his outlook (bullish or bearish) in every publicy traded company. Nevertheless is is your job to search for up to date information on companies you are interested.

More than likely the only people who are...

...going to make money on nanotechnology within the next fifty years are stockbrokers and people like Jack Uldrich who -- for a fee of course -- will unveil their nanotechnology "expertise" and proffer advice accordingly...unfortunately, at this point, nanotechnology is little more than a fancy term -- practically speaking there is no tangible nanotechnology outside of research labs and what does exist is years away from commercial development...more pertinent in this particular case, Mr. Uldrich really provides no evidence to support his claim for "expertise" in the field of nanotechnolgy -- his resume shows only that he was a former naval intelligence officer and Defense Department official and also served as the Director of the Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long Range Planning under Governor Jesse Ventura...Jesse Ventura?...hmmmm, I'm not quite clear on how one acquires nanotechnology experience working for Jesse Ventura...moreover, his advice is basically free via columns he publishes every week on the "Motley Fool" website...no, I have to say this book is not recommended.

Investing in Nanotechnology Think Small, Win Big.

As a person in the industry I thought that it was well written and informative. The reserch into the companies was basic but accurate. I was most impressed that the author found some gems in several of the start ups that are not widely known, till now. If you are not aware of the world of nanotech and what its upside could mean to you, this is an excellent way to get that knowledge.

I enjoyed the book and found it a quick read.
