I won't be able to cover this. If the press release can be believed, it may be an opportunity to ask the top execs about EEStor. See below...in bold.

If they only allow analysts to ask questions, you might recommend to them that they bring up EEStor:

I spoke to Morningstar's Anil Daka this morning about this. Daka tracks battery developments in addition to Lockheed so he is curious about EEStor. He told me he that if he couldnt attend the earnings call, he would still be getting an update directly from Lockheed in a week or so. He said he would definitely bring it up to them.

You may have a different view but I believe Lockheed has an obligation to accurately describe it's business and while EEStor certainly isn't material info now...it could become material soon. So, it's only appropriate that Lockheed investors would seek to understand the opportunity.

I expect only significant smiles. :(

Just preface all your questions with, "please answer my question without smiling..."

If they put bags on their heads it would mitigate the smile variable. :-)

It is possible that the Lockheed Martin Execs were bemused by people asking questions about Lockheed Martin's confidence in EEStor, when LM had announced that day a $5 millions partnership with MIT to develop electrical storage solutions that would compete with an EESU?

Some on this site maintain that when asked questions exclusively about EEStor, LM exec Kohlhaas' responses were not related to EEstor, but about "the reason for the press conference, the MIT partnership" - yet Mr. Kohlhaas failed to mention "MIT" one time in all of his responses. Not even the PR Nazi tried to interject "MIT" references into the discussion, just adamant insistence that EEStor couldn't be discussed, as their relationship with LM is "proprietary."

Proprietary?! Do ya think? SEEsuite = EESU inside:) I mean they only have global, exclusive rights to use of the technology for defense and homeland security applications. And they just might have reason to think, by now - two years after announcing that they were "in bed, deep" with EEStor, that the technology actually works. Do ya think?!

Why not have some fun baking EESU's "trademark" right into the name of their enterprise software suite? What a hoot!

Said it before so I'll say it again.

"The MIT grant 5 mil over 5 years. A quick sop to buy green credentials. LMC probably spends that on toilet paper and hand soap for staff bathrooms over 5 years. And thats not all going on storage mechanisms but shares on but going on "carbon modeling and verification". I.E. spy sattelites to verify carbon credits and forest sizes."

For 140000 employees? Try 5 months.

Eat a lot of fruit and bran at LMC :-)

Execs are always complaining about how much toilet paper and hand drying towels their employees use. ;-)

what ever happened at this conference call? i never heard word of it afterwards. Was eestor mentioned? Can i get a link to the conference call on web somehow?

EEstor was not mentioned crudvapors.

You could listen to the webcast through their website if you want to, but there is nothing to hear about EEstor, SEEsuite or power management.
