NanotechnologyInvestment.com Nanotech Investor Portal Reports Nanotech Gains Respect from Wall Street as Nanosys, Inc. Files and Merrill Lynch Nanotech Index Launched
Point Roberts, WA, - http://www.nanotechnologyinvestment.com, a global research portal for the nanotechnology investment community is pleased to update investors on recent news and events within the sector evidencing the long-term investment opportunities for nanotechnology. The formation of the Merrily Lynch Nanotech Index and recent $ 115million Registration for Nanosys, Inc are significant indicators that the institutional investment community is now agreeing with avid retail investors, that Nanotech does represent long-term potential. According to recent research from Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com), the global annual industrial production in the nanotech sectors is estimated to exceed $ 1 trillion in the next 10 to 15 years.
On April 01, 2004, Merrill launched an index of 25 companies, and has already dropped several companies from the original index and added new companies based on defining the merging field criteria. The American Stock Exchange quoted index, NNZ.A, includes companies like Nanophase (NANX) and Harris & Harris (TINY). What this says to the market, is that the big players on Wall Street recognize the long-term potential of the nanotechnolgy sector, but it is still defining itself and is changing and evolving very quickly.
On April 22, 2004, Nanosys, Inc. filed an S-1 Registration, IPO offering of $ 115 million, with Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, CIBC World Markets and Needham & Co. named as underwriters. Proposed trading symbol: (NNSY)

http://www.NanotechnologyInvestment.com does not make recommendations, but offers investors a unique free research portal. With the recent significant increase in share price of several small emerging Nanotech companies, investors are advised to use caution and research each company individually. Several articles have been published recently due to the sharp increase in share prices warning of a potential "bubble", but most industry experts are very optimistic about the long-term prospects and opportunities for nanotechnology. The challenge for investors is to find companies developing technology that will achieve market penetration and commercial success.
