What You Need to Know About Investing in Graphene
In my note on Wednesday, I remarked how many of you have lots of questions about investing in exotics, particularly the "miracle material" graphene.
Turns out you aren't the only ones who want to know more about this exciting new field. My good friend and colleague, William Patalon III, decided to interview me for his excellent advisory service, Private Briefing.
Since this is becoming such a popular topic for investors these days, I thought I would share the full interview with you today. It's a comprehensive look at the forces driving this sector.
And it contains some background material about me that you probably don't already know.
Here's the Private Briefing interview. I hope you enjoy it...

A Dozen Reasons to Be Investing in Graphene
Graphene - the lightest, strongest, most flexible material ever made - could revolutionize our way of living, which is why now is the time for investing in graphene.
Graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel, could make "invisibility cloaks" for the military that will hide tanks and other military vehicles; create bendable, flat-screen TVs that you can roll up and take with you; and lead to major breakthroughs in healthcare, to name just a few of its potential uses.
The graphene industry is expected to have 40% annual growth over the next seven years, going from the $9 million industry it is today to a $126 million market, reports Lux Research, an independent research firm focused on emerging technologies.
We at Money Morning saw graphene's potential early.
"Stronger than steel and lighter than a feather, this high-tech medium will shape virtually every part of our daily lives by the end of this decade," Money Morning Defense and Technology Specialist Michael Robinson wrote in December 2011.
And with these new developments, graphene is certainly on its way to changing the products we use every day - which is why more people are asking about investing in graphene.
