Nanotechnology is an exciting field with amazing potential across many industries. It is only natural that nanotechnology investment analyses will soon be ubiquitous, as we witness a meteoric rise in the use of the technology. Mr. Fishbine is the first to take a stab at future earning potential of nanotechnology, introducing the reader to his vision.
The book does an excellent job of defining nanotechnology and discussing the potential benefits and challenges of nanotechnology to the reader, especially if you have had little or no experience in the field. In addition, Mr. Fishbine creates a logical and creative model upon which one can easily measure investment potential, while addressing investors' risk preferences. (e.g., stay away if you're risk averse!)
As a scientist and investor, Mr. Fishbine shines, as his deep understanding of the technology is proven while analyzing nanotechnology's interesting potentials and case studies. At times the book reads a bit awkward, however, and it could use some "touching up" from a more experienced writer.
All in all, it's a strong accomplishment that is a courageous attempt to define the nanotechnology investment landscape. Since the technology is quickly evolving, along with the economic and investment environment, I will look forward to an insightful sequel!
