      The Tellurium Supernova
      Thermal Electronics Corp .is a manufacturer of Thermoelectric appliances, and we use tens of thousands of modules a year. So, when I read Mark’s article on First Solar I was concerned as it directly affected my lively hood and that of my employee’s. We are also spending 100’s of thousand’s on research designing and alloying material to build a more efficient module. Two years ago we started purchasing small quantities of tellurium for our research. We though nothing of the cost about $70 USD / kg. Last year the price jumped to 115/kg. So things started to happen and I wanted to find out why cost of Tellurium was starting to increase. Hence Mark’s article. In December we needed to purchase about
      20 Kg of material. At that time our price jumped to 260 USD/Kg. I for one needed to see if this was a trend or just speculation. Today I emailed my contact and found out that they now want $360/kg. 5Nplus, by the way is now public as of December. Their stock IPO’d at around $6 and is now $11.50. They sell Te
      at 264/kg, but cannot supply it as all of their production is spoken for till May/08.
      I belong to Asiametal.com and read article’s today that there has been so many inquires for Tellurium that Traders are buying up supply and hording it. They figure that within the year tellurium will be so short of supply because of speculation the price will be in the 1200-1500 USD/kg range. I for one just purchased about 2 years of supply of modules and material. I figure I’ll hedge
      to protect my business and buy it now when it’s cheaper.
