Q: In my previous question about Earth Alive Clean Technology you mentioned the % of insider and institutional holding, wouldn’t you view that as a positive , especially for such a small company? The market for the sectors they’re in is very large, with the above companies I’ve referenced, if Earth Alive Clean can grab an increase in market share with their new products it could transformational for them , no?

Q: I recently stumbled on Earth Alive Clean Technology, they have new products in the dust control area for the industrial space such as mining, and fertilizer and activators for the agricultural area. They recently commented on the fact that California approved them and new commitments and a promising near term.
They got hit in recent quarters and stock suffered a lot, with the agricultural area getting more $ on commodity prices, it is suggested they will be increasing spending on fertilizers and such, and likewise the mining sector will be flush with cash and also have increased activity and spending.
Wondering your thoughts on company and it’s positioning, I realize it’s very small market cap, but with the combination of depressed share price and it’s new product offerings and sector tailwinds would you view it positively for a speculative buy.
