Syntroleum's near-term revenues are not enough to cover operating costs, requiring the firm to find new revenue and funding sources. A weakened credit market could hamper the company's ability to raise funds and delay projects.

It's the technology and the recent partnership with Tyson Foods that will make this stock a star performer in the future. The clean diesel and jet fuel can be blended with the oil derived fuels for reducing reliance of imported fuel.

The military has long sought a reliable domestic fuel source, this is it. Check out Rentech (RTK), a competitor to SYNM. Rentech has just signed a contract for clean diesel fuel for transport vehicles at LAX. Rentech's jet fuel has already been approved by the USAF, and by ASTM for commercial jet fuel. It won't be long before SYNM getas the same approvals.

RTK and SYNM are a small part of my portfolio, but I expect them to really take off within the next 5 years. RTK already has for me. I bought RTK between $0.48 and $0.61 and sold half my holdings in the $2.50 range.

Peak Oil is here now. It will be most evident within the next 3 to 5 years. The F-T technologies of RTK, SYNM and their partner companies are viable now and ready to enter the commercial production stage. There aren't that many opportunities to get on board early in a new technology, but this is one of them. It may not be the next Apple or Google, but RTK and SYNM will be rockets nonetheless.

Syntroleum is a very interesting. Unlike bio-diesel, synthetic diesel is an Ultra Clean fuel that has lower sulfur levels than traditional bio-diesel and/or crude oil. It also performs better in colder temperatures and has faster ignition from initial injection to combustion.
The recent venture & commitment of Tyson Foods and the building of North America’s first renewable synthetic fuels plant in Geismar, Louisiana is very, very positive. I (personally) see no concerns here. Yes, short term revenue, earnings, poor balance sheet is expected. However, the military is already very interested and has tested the product; if they award SYMN a contract; that equals instant guaranteed government revenue. The current administration should be happy with the product due to its ultra clean technology and being developed right here in good ole USA. Therefore, I’m pretty sure that any Company that will use this - will get there Ultra Green Clean Approval.

Inside Ownership—New Plant—New Product—Military interest—Commercial Applications—High Performance Jet Fuel, already equals a positive future with great opportunities ahead.

I’m sure these folks below will work diligently to see this new technology and Company succeed.
