coincidentally the same day as Bushs bill signing, San Diegobased biotech outfit Nanogen NGEN jumped 51 on news that it received key nanotechnology patent. The prefix nano means onebillionth. It also isnt process specific to one industry Nanotechnology can be applied to spectrum of disciplines, from biotech to semiconductors to manufacturing. Subscribe for only 1 an issue. Dont let someone steal your identity. Sunscreen makers are using nanoscale methods to eliminate that pesky, cakey white buildup in lotions. That news only added to the nanotech hype machine, which has been cranking full blast for months.
Just think what nanotech can make possible Drugs that can be administered more effectively at the molecular level, semiconductors that are more powerful and smaller than ever before, and computers that are instant on. And there are more farreaching hopes tiny probes capable of detecting cancer in the earliest of stages, and tiny nano particles that could be sprayed to immunize vast populations for bioterror agents. That hybrid process incorporating nanotech with existing manufacturing techniques is critical, explains Dr. were beginning to see classic signs of speculative mania.

Sullivan, microcap manager with no particular expertise in biotech. But the history of previous hot new technologies and the funds rushed to market to take advantage of them offers some sobering lessons for anyone tempted to jump on the latest investing bandwagon. Ask the AnalystNanotech and the pitfalls of specialty funds advertisement Beware of investing in the hot new thing. Of course, its possible that one or two of these nanotech names will be hugely successful and grow to megacap size, as eBayEBAY, news, msgs did among biotech stocks. Remember the Internet fund craze?
Such microcap stocks are very risky to own under any circumstances, and of these have stillunproven business models. Its possible that nanotechnology could turn out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, as its fervent promoters are hoping. All of them eventually came crashing down to earth. To answer the original question No, there are no mutual funds specializing in nanotech stocks, at least not yet, but it might just be matter of time. Nanotech stocks add another layer of risk, because of them are very small.
Such microcap stocks are very risky to own under any circumstances, and of these have stillunproven business models. It lost nearly 80 of its value between and and of them shouldnt have existed in the first place. The few survivors, such as Munder NetNet MNNAX and Jacob Internet JAMFX, have been wildly volatile and destroyed lots of shareholder value. Whats more, the diversification benefits normally found in mutual funds are largely negated in such offerings.
For example, Harris & Harris gained 369 despite having virtually no revenue, let alone profits, and of the other stocks in the index have lost ground so far this year, by more than 20, and the index itself is down 25 since its launch. think its good thing for investors that there are no nanotech mutual funds because such funds would be the height of gimmickry. But just because something is cool and seems like the next big thing doesnt mean its necessarily good investment.
If any do come along eventually, would treat them with extreme caution. Trendy mutual funds tend to appear frequently right near the peak of bubble. This has, of course, caught the attention of the market in fact, this is the second question about nanotech funds that weve received in the past couple of months. Internet funds sprouted like weeds between and and its adviser resigned in early in favor of Robert J. Both the Munder and Jacob funds are Analyst Pans in Morningstars technology category.

They have added and dropped few companies from the original 25, which surprisingly had few companies whose primary business had very little to do with nanotechnology. Because their fund has several companies with large market capitalizations, there has been less volatility than the two indexes, and this has offset losses. Another option, from venture capital firm Harris & Harris, trades on the Nasdaq as TINY and includes many public nanotech stocks. Merrill Lynch runs one listed on AMEX, NNZ. Another is run by New York investment bank, Punk Ziegel.

The semiconductor, life sciences and energy industries will be the first to see the benefits of nanotech advancements. Investing in mutual funds allows you to limit your risks by spreading them out over number of companies. Even with technological advancements, it still takes about seven years for products to from the drawing board to store shelves.. Nanotech breakthroughs start in universities, as they have the proper research and financial machinery already in place. Established blue chip firms that apply nanotechnology to their existing product lines make safer investment than startup companies without track record.

Thus, they thirdly hope for nanorobots that can be translated into business and investment opportunities. The burden of proof therefore belongs to those who propose restrictive measures. Hence, if, for instance, certain nanoparticles are only likely to cause cancer on humans, which would require cancer experiments with humans. Nick Bostrom, philosopher and Chairman of the World Transhumanist Association, has even more frightening views.
For instance, ForbesWolfe, who started issuing the first newsletter with insider information, Nanotech Report, knows that Stunning breakthroughs in Nanotechnology are about to transform the future of our economy and make EARLY INVESTORS RICH.17Recent efforts have tried to bring nanotechnology to broader investor market. the development of Drexlers assemblers Drexler 1986 that should manufacture abundant materials and products of any kind to be made to achieve their goals and that any omission to do so and any attempt to prevent this are morally wrong.
If we add up these three categories, it turns out that 71. 9 of all articles appear in science & technology magazines is still discernible in their mission statements, particularly in older ones, the boundary is increasingly blurred, so that smalltimes publishing concept of combining both might be forwardlooking. In the general media, as much as 77. 0 are about money, because nanotechnology is mostly covered in the business section of newspapers. Unlike analytical subsystems, the groups and their members overlap and exchange meaning. Indeed, software engineers have taken lead in developing visions of societal implications of nanotechnology.
Conceptually, the lack of meaningful definitions of nanotechnology has two kinds of meaning. In addition, the nanohype, with its abundant talk of societal and ethical implications and the increasing budgets for related efforts, provides new opportunities for cultural and social scientists to educate the public beyond their professional duties of academic education. The semantic leaders thus form visionary alliance that is rather robust against the less visionary meanings by other groups.
All these impacts are indirect, however, because the actual meaning of societal and ethical implications of nanotechnology in the near future. Within the genre of science fiction, nanoscience fiction is certainly one of the flourishing fields nowadays. Indeed, it is the key technology vision on which of transhumanism rests nowadays.
