Abstract:
Merrill Lynch just added two new companies to their nanotech index, following their criteria that "for inclusion in the index is companies that indicate in public documents that nanotechnology initiatives represent a significant component of their future business strategy. In addition, companies must be listed on a national exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ National or NASDAQ Small Market systems. We exclude companies whose valuations, in our view, are not considered to be nanotechnology-driven by the investment community." So it was even more of a surprise to see the justification for including Kopin.
