We're Early This Month: I'm going on a business trip, so
finished this issue early. The July issue, on the other hand, may
be a few days late, because of the Bahamas trip.
Bahamas '99 Conference: Reminder -- I'll be speaking at
the Annual Investors Conference in the Bahamas this month, Sunday
through Wednesday, June 13-16 at the Sheraton Grand Resort. I'd
like to see you. Call Karen at 800-346-0092. Mention you're a subscriber
to Conservative Speculator & you'll be able to have free admission.
WallStreetCorner: Did you see where the name "WallStreet.com"
was sold for a fabulous amount of money? That makes Rosanne & I
feel we have something valuable in WallStreetCorner.com. Regardless
of the value of the URL (the name or Internet address), the number
of people visiting WallStreetCorner is exploding. Tell your friends,
& if you know of a company that would be benefited by having strong
Internet exposure, have them call me at 843-705-5591. If no answer,
ask them to call again, because that's my private number, & I'm
away at times.

DCH Technology, Inc.
Overview
...used chemicals in the world. Yet the installed base of equipment
that measures and handles hydrogen uses very mature technology.
Any time you have a decades-old technology gap, especially one that
involves a great many industries, there is a substantial opportunity
to introduce new emerging technology. That's exactly what we're
doing with our hydrogen sensors, fuel cells, & gas safety systems."
He added, "We have promising strategic alliances in the areas
of both aerospace & military as well as our base commercial business.
For example, we are configuring our sensors to monitor nuclear waste
containers. We are also developing small fuel cells for boats, batteries,
& other applications."
DCHT has been selected to incorporate its hydrogen sensor technology
into a bridge monitoring system to detect corrosion associated with
aging bridge structural members.
Hydrogen is a natural byproduct of corrosion associated with iron
& steel alloys. DCH hydrogen sensors are fast & chemically selective
in detecting very small amounts of hydrogen gas. The DCH new generation
sensor technology supports remote monitoring, which opens a host
of corrosion detection applications.
Environmental issues of global warming & air pollution are commanding
the attention of Washington today. Words like alternative energy
& fuel cells are now beltway buzzwords.
The signs are evident: (1) Daimler Chrysler unveiled its first
Hydrogen Gas Car 3/17/99; (2) On 1/26/99, the Clinton administration
requested $7.6 billion in funding & tax credits for alternative
energy technology development; (3) The NY Power Authority dedicated
the installation of a fuel cell power plant at the police precinct
located in Central Park; & (4) DCHT has an agreement & license with
the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop
the PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell.
Sen. Orrin Hatch just introduced a bill to improve air quality
using tax breaks for the use of alternative fuels to power cars.
One of the fuels he mentions is hydrogen, used in DCHT's PEM fuel
cell. Fuel cell powered transportation creates zero pollution, &
hydrogen can be produced from sea water, a resource that will not
be depleted like fossil fuels will be. DCHT is well positioned to
benefit from this renewed interest.
DCHT recently demon-strated its PEM fuel cell at the National Hydrogen
Association's annual meeting. And DCHT's hydrogen sensors are being
used by NASA, Westinghouse, Ford, GM, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Allied
Signal, & other multinational companies.
History
DCHT was founded as a partnership 11/94 & incorporated in CO 2/96
to license & commercialize new technology. Working with such prestigious
