Bonal Technologies (BONL)
In the "companies most in need of a name change" department, this would seem like a good investment (website) selling for less than 50 cents with a 14 cent profit, but I did some checking and their patent was issued in 1990 and will be expiring soon (4,968,359):
I only found that one patent assigned to "bonal".
UPDATE: Today they just happened to announce a 4 cent dividend, sending the shares up to 90 cents, more than a 2-bagger.
A method of stress relieving metal parts that includes the steps of applying mechanical cyclic vibration energy to a part over a test frequency range while monitoring the damping effects of energy flowing into the part as a function of frequency. A plurality of orders of harmonic vibration absorption peaks are identified, each consisting of a plurality of vibration absorption resonant peaks, employing a vibration transducer having a response that is dampened to distinguish the harmonic peaks from the resonant peaks. A sub-harmonic stress relief frequency is identified as a function of such frequency response and the composition of the part in question, and mechanical cyclic vibration energy is applied to the part for an extended time period at the sub-harmonic frequency so identified.

I've been following your blog quite closely (and your posts on TMF before that...)
When you get a chance, I'd be curious to see your thoughts on AirTrax - AITX. It looks like they have solid IP rights to their technology, and - as you'll quickly realize - the market potential is rather interesting.

Thanks!
Shai,
I've actually looked at some of those companies in the past:
I thought Busybox was the open source software people, apparently not. I think I did cover this a while back, but skipped it because the Pink Sheets people couldn't contact them. They're recent 8-K says Videostate has (had) the option to buy the assets of Busybox for $3.8 million in cash/stock, which would be something like 70 cents per share? Shares had been trading at 45 cents.
I seem to remember Cumberland Technologies.
I used to follow RAWA years ago, but I never really liked it as an investment.

Great to see there's someone else out there looking at these stocks too...
Keep up the great posts!
